    "supporting_data": "The iShares MSCI China Tech UCITS ETF is classified as non-complex under MiFID II for the following reasons:1. **Physical Replication**: The KIID and PRIIPs documents explicitly state that the fund aims to replicate the index by holding the equity securities that make up the index in similar proportions. There is no mention of synthetic replication or swap agreements.2. **No Leverage or Inverse Exposure**: The fund does not use leverage or inverse strategies. The risk profile is straightforward, focusing on equity investments in Chinese technology companies.3. **Derivative Usage**: While the KIID mentions that the fund may use financial derivative instruments (FDIs) for direct investment purposes, this is likely limited to depositary receipts (DRs) to gain exposure to certain securities in emerging markets. There is no indication of extensive or complex derivative usage beyond this.4. **Underlying Asset Complexity**: The underlying assets are equities of Chinese technology companies, which are relatively straightforward and liquid. The index methodology involves ESG screening and capping, but this does not introduce significant complexity.5. **Risk Profile**: The fund's risk profile is rated 7 out of 7, which is high, but this is due to the nature of the investments (equities in emerging markets) rather than structural complexity. The risks are clearly disclosed and relate to market, liquidity, and counterparty risks associated with the underlying equities.6. **UCITS Compliance**: The fund is UCITS-compliant, which inherently imposes strict limits on the use of derivatives and leverage, further supporting the non-complex classification.7. **No Capital Protection or Structured Features**: There are no capital protection mechanisms, barrier options, or other structured features that would typically trigger a complex classification.The fund's complexity is driven by the underlying investments (Chinese equities) and market risks rather than structural or derivative-related complexity. Therefore, it is classified as non-complex under MiFID II.",
