    "supporting_data": "The HSBC MSCI USA UCITS ETF is classified as non-complex under MiFID II for the following reasons:1. **Physical Replication**: The fund uses physical replication (as confirmed in the monthly factsheet) to track the MSCI USA Index, investing directly in the underlying securities rather than using synthetic methods.2. **Minimal Derivative Usage**: While the KIID mentions the possibility of using derivatives for efficient portfolio management (up to 10% in total return swaps), the monthly factsheet confirms that the fund does not currently use swaps or other derivatives for investment purposes. The derivative usage is limited to hedging or risk management, which does not trigger complexity under MiFID II.3. **No Leverage or Inverse Exposure**: The fund does not employ leverage, inverse strategies, or any form of amplified returns, which are key indicators of complexity.4. **Transparent and Liquid Underlying Assets**: The fund invests in large and mid-sized US equities, which are liquid and transparent, making the investment strategy easily understandable for retail investors.5. **UCITS Compliance**: The fund is UCITS-compliant, which inherently imposes strict transparency and risk management requirements, further supporting its non-complex classification.6. **Risk Profile**: The fund's risk profile (category 6) is based on historical volatility of the underlying index, not on the fund's structure or derivative usage. The risks are clearly disclosed and align with the expected risks of investing in US equities.**Counterarguments and Override**:- The KIID mentions the possibility of using derivatives (up to 10%), which could theoretically introduce complexity. However, the monthly factsheet confirms that the fund does not currently use derivatives for investment purposes, and the derivative usage is limited to hedging, which is not considered complex under MiFID II.- The risk category (6) might suggest higher complexity, but this is due to the volatility of the underlying index, not the fund's structure.**Conclusion**: The fund's physical replication, lack of leverage or inverse strategies, and transparent underlying assets make it non-complex under MiFID II.",
