    "supporting_data": "The HSBC EURO STOXX 50 UCITS ETF is classified as non-complex under MiFID II based on the following analysis: 1. Replication Method: The fund uses physical replication (as confirmed in the monthly factsheet) to track the EURO STOXX 50 Index, which is a straightforward equity index. 2. Derivative Usage: While the KIID mentions potential derivative usage (up to 10% in swaps), the monthly factsheet confirms physical replication as the primary method. The derivative usage appears to be for efficient portfolio management rather than as an inherent part of the strategy. 3. Leverage and Inverse Exposure: There is no mention of leverage, inverse exposure, or amplified returns in any of the documents. 4. Underlying Assets: The fund invests in large, liquid equities from the EURO STOXX 50, which are transparent and easily understood. 5. Risk Profile: The fund is classified in risk category 6, but this is based on the volatility of the underlying index rather than the fund's structure. 6. Complexity Indicators: No capital protection mechanisms, structured products, or complex indices are mentioned. The fund's strategy is transparent and easily understandable for retail investors. The only potential complexity factor is the limited derivative usage (up to 10% in swaps), but this is not sufficient to trigger a complex classification under MiFID II. The fund's UCITS compliance and the fact that it is a mainstream equity ETF further support the non-complex classification.",
