    "supporting_data": "The First Trust Nasdaq Clean Edge Smart Grid Infrastructure UCITS ETF is classified as non-complex under MiFID II for the following reasons:1. **Physical Replication**: The fund uses physical replication (as confirmed in the fact sheet) to track the Nasdaq OMX Clean Edge Smart Grid Infrastructure Exclusions Index, meaning it directly holds the underlying securities rather than using derivatives or synthetic replication.2. **No Leverage or Inverse Exposure**: There is no mention of leverage, inverse strategies, or amplified returns in the KIID or fact sheet. The fund's objective is to replicate the index's performance without any gearing or synthetic exposure.3. **Transparent Underlying Assets**: The fund invests in equity securities of companies in the smart grid and electric infrastructure sector, which are liquid and transparent. The index methodology is clearly explained, and the top holdings are disclosed.4. **No Complex Structured Features**: There are no capital protection mechanisms, barrier options, or structured return formulas mentioned in the documents.5. **Straightforward Risk Profile**: The fund's risk profile (SRRI 7) is consistent with its equity-focused strategy, and the risks are clearly disclosed. There are no indications of excessive counterparty risk or illiquid assets.6. **UCITS Compliance**: The fund is UCITS-compliant, which inherently imposes strict transparency and risk management requirements, further supporting its non-complex classification.7. **No Comprehension Warning in PRIIPs**: The PRIIPs KID does not include a comprehension warning, which would typically indicate complexity.The only potential complexity factor could be the thematic nature of the index (focused on smart grid infrastructure), but this does not inherently make the fund complex. The use of derivatives is limited to efficient portfolio management (if any), and the overall structure is straightforward and transparent.",
