    "supporting_data": "The iShares Edge S&P 500 Minimum Volatility ETF is classified as non-complex under MiFID II. While it mentions the use of financial derivative instruments (FDIs) for direct investment purposes, the KIID and PRIIPs documents indicate that the fund primarily uses physical replication methods. The fund's investment strategy focuses on tracking the S&P 500 Minimum Volatility Index through direct investment in equity securities, with optimised techniques that may include the strategic selection of certain securities. The use of derivatives is not for leverage or inverse exposure but rather for efficient portfolio management. The fund's risk profile is rated 6, which is moderate, and the underlying assets are large-cap U.S. equities with lower volatility characteristics. The fund is UCITS-compliant, which typically indicates a higher standard of transparency and investor protection. The PRIIPs KID does not contain a comprehension warning, further supporting the non-complex classification. The fund's product structure is listed as 'Physical,' and there is no mention of synthetic replication or unfunded swaps. The primary complexity factors are the optimised replication techniques and the potential use of FDIs, but these do not rise to the level of complexity that would trigger a 'complex' classification under MiFID II.",
