    "supporting_data": "The iShares Edge MSCI USA Momentum Factor UCITS ETF is classified as non-complex under MiFID II based on the following analysis:1. **Replication Method**: The fund uses physical replication, as stated in both the KIID and PRIIPs KID ('The Fund intends to replicate the Index by holding the equity securities, which make up the Index, in similar proportions to it' and 'Methodology: Replicated'). There is no mention of synthetic replication or swap agreements.2. **Derivative Usage**: While the KIID mentions that the fund 'may use financial derivative instruments (FDIs) to help achieve the Funds investment objectives,' this is standard language for UCITS ETFs and does not indicate extensive or complex derivative usage. The PRIIPs KID explicitly states 'Product Structure: Physical,' confirming that derivatives are not a core part of the strategy. The mention of FDIs is likely for efficient portfolio management (e.g., currency hedging), which does not trigger complexity under MiFID II.3. **Leverage and Inverse Exposure**: The fund does not employ leverage or inverse strategies. The risk profile is aligned with the underlying equities, and there are no references to amplified returns or gearing.4. **Underlying Asset Complexity**: The fund invests in large and mid-cap US equities selected based on momentum factors. The index methodology is transparent and does not involve illiquid or complex securities like contingent convertible bonds (CoCos) or structured products.5. **Risk Profile**: The fund is rated '6' on the risk scale, which is moderate for an equity fund. The risks are clearly disclosed and relate to market volatility and factor-specific risks, which are typical for equity investments. There are no indications of counterparty risk or complex structured features.6. **Costs and Charges**: The fund has a straightforward fee structure (0.20% TER) with no performance fees or complex cost arrangements.7. **Counterarguments and Override**: While the KIID mentions the potential use of derivatives, the PRIIPs KID and factsheet confirm physical replication and do not highlight any complex derivative strategies. The absence of synthetic replication, leverage, or inverse exposure, combined with the transparency of the underlying assets, supports the non-complex classification.8. **Confidence Score**: 90% - The analysis is supported by clear statements in the KIID, PRIIPs KID, and factsheet, with no contradictory evidence suggesting complexity.",
