    "supporting_data": "The iShares Global Aerospace & Defence UCITS ETF is classified as non-complex under MiFID II based on the following analysis:1. **Replication Method**: The fund uses physical replication, as explicitly stated in the fact sheet ('Product Structure: Physical'). This is a key non-complex indicator.2. **Derivative Usage**: While the KIID mentions the possibility of using financial derivative instruments (FDIs) for direct investment purposes, the fact sheet clarifies that the fund does not use swaps or synthetic replication. The derivatives mentioned are likely for hedging or efficient portfolio management, not as a core strategy.3. **Leverage/Inverse Exposure**: There is no mention of leverage, inverse exposure, or amplified returns in any of the documents. The fund's objective is straightforward index tracking.4. **Underlying Assets**: The fund invests in equity securities of companies in the aerospace and defence sector, which are liquid and transparent. There is no exposure to complex structured products or illiquid assets.5. **Risk Profile**: The risk rating is 7 (out of 7), but this reflects the sector concentration and equity market risk, not structural complexity. The risks are clearly disclosed and typical for an equity ETF.6. **Counterparty Risk**: The KIID mentions counterparty risk, but this is standard for any fund that may use derivatives or securities lending. The fact sheet does not indicate significant counterparty exposure.7. **Costs and Charges**: The fee structure is simple (0.35% TER), with no performance fees or complex fee arrangements.8. **UCITS Compliance**: The fund is UCITS-compliant, which inherently limits complexity and ensures regulatory oversight.**Counter-Argument Consideration**: The KIID mentions the use of FDIs, which could raise complexity concerns. However, the fact sheet's explicit statement of physical replication and the absence of swap-related language in both documents outweigh this. The FDIs are likely used for minor hedging or liquidity management, not as a core strategy.**Confidence**: 90% - The physical replication method and lack of leverage/swaps are clear indicators of non-complexity. The only ambiguity is the derivative mention in the KIID, but this is mitigated by the fact sheet's clarity.",
