    "supporting_data": "The 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 PRIIPs KID ('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 PRIIPs KID clarifies that the fund does not use derivatives for replication (physical replication). The mention of FDIs in the KIID appears to be a standard disclosure rather than an active strategy, as the fund's actual holdings (as shown in the factsheet) consist solely of equities with no derivative exposure.3. **Leverage and Inverse Exposure**: The fund has no leverage or inverse exposure, as confirmed by the absence of any related terminology in both the KIID and PRIIPs KID.4. **Underlying Asset Complexity**: The fund invests in large and mid-cap Canadian equities, which are liquid and transparent. There is no mention of complex underlying assets like contingent convertible bonds, structured products, or illiquid securities.5. **Risk Profile**: The fund's risk rating is 6 (out of 7), which is relatively high for an equity fund but does not automatically trigger complexity. The risks are clearly disclosed and relate to equity market exposure, which is easily understandable by retail investors.6. **Counterparty Risk**: While the KIID mentions counterparty risk (related to securities lending and safekeeping), this is a standard disclosure for all UCITS funds and does not indicate complexity. The fund does not use swaps or other derivative instruments that would introduce significant counterparty risk.7. **Costs and Charges**: The fund's cost structure is straightforward, with a simple TER of 0.48% and no performance fees or complex fee arrangements.8. **PRIIPs KID**: The PRIIPs KID does not contain any comprehension warnings or additional complexity flags beyond those already assessed.**Counterargument and Override**: While the KIID mentions the potential use of FDIs, the PRIIPs KID and factsheet confirm that the fund uses physical replication and does not actively use derivatives. The mention of FDIs in the KIID is likely a standard disclosure required for all UCITS funds, even those that do not use derivatives. The absence of derivatives in the actual portfolio (as shown in the factsheet) overrides any potential complexity concerns.**Conclusion**: The fund is classified as non-complex because it uses physical replication, invests in straightforward equities, and does not use derivatives or leverage. The risks are clearly disclosed and easily understandable by retail investors.",
