    "supporting_data": "The iShares MSCI Taiwan UCITS ETF is classified as non-complex under MiFID II for the following reasons:1. **Physical Replication**: The fund uses physical replication to track the MSCI Taiwan 20/35 Index, as explicitly stated in the PRIIPs KID ('Product Structure: Physical'). This means it directly invests in the underlying securities of the index, which is a non-complex indicator.2. **No Leverage or Inverse Exposure**: There is no mention of leverage, inverse exposure, or amplified returns in the KIID or PRIIPs KID. The fund's objective is to track the index's performance without any leverage or inverse strategies.3. **Minimal Derivative Usage**: While the KIID mentions the potential use of financial derivative instruments (FDIs) and ADRs/GDRs, these are used to gain exposure to certain securities in the index, not for synthetic replication or complex strategies. The PRIIPs KID confirms the fund's methodology as 'Replicated' (physical replication).4. **Transparent and Liquid Underlying Assets**: The fund invests in large and mid-cap Taiwanese equities, which are liquid and transparent. The top 10 holdings account for 57.18% of the portfolio, with the largest holding (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing) at 30.50%. The underlying index is also transparent and widely followed.5. **No Capital Protection or Structured Features**: There are no capital protection mechanisms, barrier options, or structured return formulas mentioned in the documents.6. **Risk Profile**: The fund's risk profile is rated 6 out of 7, which is relatively high due to its exposure to emerging markets and equities. However, the risk is inherent to the underlying assets and not due to the fund's structure or strategy.7. **UCITS Compliance**: The fund is UCITS-compliant, which inherently limits the use of complex strategies and derivatives.**Counterargument and Override**: While the KIID mentions the potential use of FDIs and ADRs/GDRs, these are not indicative of a complex strategy. The PRIIPs KID explicitly states the fund uses physical replication, and the derivative usage is limited to gaining exposure to underlying securities, which is standard for many ETFs. The overall structure and strategy are straightforward and transparent, making the fund suitable for retail investors.",
