    "supporting_data": "The iShares MSCI EMU Mid Cap UCITS ETF EUR (Acc) is classified as non-complex under MiFID II based on the following analysis:1. **Replication Method**: The fund uses physical replication, investing directly in the equity securities that make up the MSCI EMU Mid Cap Index. The KIID explicitly states that the fund aims to 'replicate the Index by holding the equity securities which make up the Index, in similar proportions to it.'2. **Derivative Usage**: While the KIID mentions the possibility of using financial derivative instruments (FDIs) for direct investment purposes, the PRIIPs KID and factsheet confirm that the fund uses a 'Physical' product structure. The derivatives mentioned in the KIID are likely for efficient portfolio management (e.g., hedging or reducing transaction costs) rather than for complex strategies. The factsheet does not indicate any swap usage or synthetic replication.3. **Leverage and Inverse Exposure**: There is no mention of leverage, inverse exposure, or amplified returns in any of the documents. The fund's objective is to track the performance of the MSCI EMU Mid Cap Index, which is a straightforward equity index.4. **Underlying Asset Complexity**: The underlying assets are mid-cap equities from developed markets in the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU). These are liquid, transparent securities that are easily understood by retail investors. The index is a free float-adjusted market capitalisation-weighted index, which is a standard and transparent methodology.5. **Risk Profile**: The fund's risk profile is rated 6 out of 7, which is typical for an equity fund. The risks disclosed (e.g., counterparty risk, liquidity risk) are standard for equity investments and do not indicate complexity. The fund's performance closely tracks the benchmark, indicating a straightforward investment strategy.6. **Costs and Charges**: The fund has a simple fee structure with an ongoing charge of 0.49%. There are no performance fees or complex fee arrangements.7. **Counterparty Risk**: The KIID mentions counterparty risk, but this is a standard disclosure for any fund that may use derivatives or securities lending. The PRIIPs KID and factsheet confirm that the fund uses a physical replication method, which minimizes counterparty risk.8. **UCITS Compliance**: The fund is UCITS-compliant, which is a strong indicator of non-complexity. UCITS funds are subject to strict regulatory requirements that limit complexity and ensure transparency.9. **Additional Information**: The factsheet and PRIIPs KID do not contain any 'comprehension warnings' or indications of complexity. The fund's holdings are transparent, and the index methodology is standard.**Conclusion**: The fund is classified as non-complex because it uses physical replication, invests in liquid and transparent underlying assets, has a straightforward investment strategy, and does not use derivatives for complex purposes. The fund's risk profile and fee structure are also typical for a non-complex equity ETF.",
