    "supporting_data": "The iShares Listed Private Equity UCITS ETF is classified as non-complex under MiFID II for the following reasons:1. **Physical Replication**: The fund primarily uses physical replication to track the S&P Listed Private Equity Index, holding the equity securities that make up the index in similar proportions. While it mentions the potential use of financial derivative instruments (FDIs) for direct investment purposes, there is no indication of extensive or complex derivative usage that would trigger a complexity classification.2. **No Leverage or Inverse Exposure**: The fund does not employ leverage or inverse strategies, and there are no references to amplified returns or multiple exposure to underlying performance.3. **Underlying Asset Complexity**: The underlying assets are large, liquid, and listed private equity companies from developed markets. While private equity investments can involve higher levels of borrowing and constraints on buying and selling, the fund's focus on liquid and listed private equity companies mitigates this complexity.4. **Risk Profile**: The fund's risk rating is 7, which is relatively high, but this is primarily due to the nature of private equity investments rather than the fund's structure or strategy. The risks are clearly disclosed, and the fund's strategy is straightforward.5. **Derivative Usage**: The mention of FDIs is for direct investment purposes and not for leverage or complex strategies. The use of derivatives is likely for efficient portfolio management, which does not automatically trigger a complexity classification under MiFID II.6. **UCITS Compliance**: The fund is UCITS-compliant, which inherently involves certain regulatory safeguards and transparency requirements that align with non-complex classifications.**Counterargument and Override**: While the fund's exposure to private equity companies could be seen as complex due to the nature of private equity investments, the fund's focus on liquid and listed private equity companies, along with its physical replication method and lack of leverage or inverse strategies, outweighs this potential complexity. The fund's strategy is transparent and easily understandable for retail investors, further supporting the non-complex classification.",
