    "supporting_data": "The iShares Global Water UCITS ETF is classified as non-complex under MiFID II based on the following analysis:1. **Replication Method**: The ETF uses physical replication, as stated in the KIID ('The Fund intends to replicate the Index by holding the equity securities, which make up the Index, in similar proportions to it'). This is a key non-complex indicator.2. **Derivative Usage**: While the KIID mentions the potential use of financial derivative instruments (FDIs) to help achieve the investment objective, the context suggests this is for efficient portfolio management rather than as an inherent part of the strategy. The PRIIPs KID and factsheet do not indicate any significant derivative exposure or swap usage. The ETF is not leveraged, inverse, or structured around derivatives.3. **Underlying Assets**: The ETF invests in equity securities of companies in the global water industry, which are liquid and transparent. There is no mention of complex underlying assets like contingent convertible bonds, structured products, or illiquid securities.4. **Risk Profile**: The risk indicator is rated 6, which is moderate and does not trigger complexity. The risks disclosed are typical for equity ETFs (e.g., market risk, sector concentration, counterparty risk) and are easily understandable by retail investors.5. **Costs and Charges**: The ongoing charges are straightforward (0.65%), with no complex fee structures or performance-related fees.6. **UCITS Compliance**: The ETF is UCITS-compliant, which inherently aligns with non-complex classification under MiFID II, as UCITS funds are subject to strict transparency and liquidity requirements.7. **Counterparty Risk**: The KIID mentions counterparty risk in the context of securities lending, but this is a standard disclosure for UCITS ETFs and does not indicate complexity. The ETF does not rely on derivatives for its core strategy, so counterparty risk is minimal.8. **Liquidity and Transparency**: The ETF is listed on multiple exchanges, and its holdings are disclosed regularly, ensuring liquidity and transparency.**Counterargument and Override**: While the KIID mentions the potential use of FDIs, the factsheet and PRIIPs KID do not provide evidence of significant derivative exposure. The ETF's physical replication method, straightforward investment strategy, and UCITS compliance outweigh the potential complexity from derivative usage. Thus, the classification as non-complex is maintained.",
