    "supporting_data": "The Invesco Global Active Defensive ESG Equity UCITS ETF is classified as non-complex under MiFID II for the following reasons:1. **Physical Replication**: The fund uses physical replication (direct purchase of underlying securities) as evidenced by the absence of synthetic replication language, swap agreements, or derivative instruments in the KIID and PRIIPs documents.2. **No Leverage or Inverse Exposure**: The fund does not employ leverage, inverse strategies, or amplified returns. The investment objective is to achieve long-term returns through an actively managed portfolio of global equities with ESG criteria, without any mention of gearing or multiple exposure.3. **Underlying Asset Simplicity**: The fund invests in liquid, transparent equity securities of companies from developed markets. There is no mention of complex structured products, illiquid securities, or contingent bonds (CoCos) in the holdings or strategy.4. **Risk Profile**: The fund's risk category is 6 (out of 7), which is relatively high but not indicative of complexity. The risks disclosed (e.g., equity risk, currency risk) are standard for equity funds and do not involve derivative-related risks or counterparty exposure.5. **UCITS Compliance**: The fund is UCITS-compliant, which inherently limits the use of complex strategies and derivatives to those permitted under UCITS regulations.6. **Derivative Usage**: The KIID mentions that the fund 'may use derivative instruments for the purposes of managing risk, reducing costs or generating additional capital or income.' However, this is a standard disclosure for UCITS funds and does not imply extensive or complex derivative usage. The PRIIPs document confirms the replication method as 'active,' and the fact sheet does not indicate swap usage or synthetic replication.7. **No Capital Protection or Structured Features**: There are no capital guarantees, principal protection features, or structured return formulas mentioned in the documents.8. **Costs and Charges**: The fee structure is straightforward (0.25% ongoing charge), with no performance fees or complex derivative-related costs.**Counterarguments and Override**:- The PRIIPs document mentions 'active' replication, which could imply some derivative usage. However, the absence of synthetic replication language and swap references in the KIID and fact sheet suggests this is not a synthetic ETF.- The high-risk category (6) might raise concerns, but the risks are standard for equity funds and do not involve derivative-related complexity.**Conclusion**: The fund is classified as non-complex because it uses physical replication, has a straightforward equity strategy, and does not employ leverage, swaps, or complex underlying assets. The derivative usage, if any, is likely limited to efficient portfolio management and does not materially alter the fund's risk profile.",
