    "supporting_data": "The UBS (Irl) ETF plc - S&P 500 UCITS ETF (hedged to CHF) is classified as non-complex under MiFID II based on the following analysis: 1. Physical Replication: The fund uses physical replication (full replication) to track the S&P 500 Index, as confirmed in the fact sheet. This means it directly invests in the underlying securities of the index, which is a non-complex method. 2. No Leverage or Inverse Exposure: The fund does not employ leverage or inverse strategies, as indicated by the absence of terms like 'leveraged,' 'inverse,' or 'gearing' in the KIID and fact sheet. 3. Minimal Derivative Use: While the KIID mentions the potential use of derivatives for hedging currency risk, the fact sheet confirms that the fund uses physical replication. The derivatives mentioned are for currency hedging, which is a common and transparent practice in ETFs. 4. UCITS Compliance: The fund is UCITS-compliant, which inherently limits the use of complex strategies and derivatives. 5. Transparent Risk Profile: The fund's risk profile is clearly stated as 'high' due to equity market volatility, but the risks are straightforward and easily understandable for retail investors. 6. No Complex Underlying Assets: The underlying index (S&P 500) is a well-known, liquid, and transparent equity index, and the fund does not invest in complex assets like contingent bonds or structured products. 7. Low Tracking Error: The fund has a very low tracking error (0.05%), indicating a close and predictable relationship with the underlying index. 8. No Capital Protection or Structured Features: The fund does not offer capital protection or structured return features, which are common complexity triggers. 9. Clear and Simple Cost Structure: The fund's cost structure is straightforward, with a low TER of 0.12% and no performance fees. 10. No Counterparty Risk Concerns: The use of derivatives for currency hedging is standard and does not introduce significant counterparty risk, as the fund is UCITS-compliant and subject to strict collateral requirements. The PRIIPs KID and fact sheet do not indicate any additional complexity factors. The fund's simplicity, transparency, and adherence to UCITS standards make it suitable for retail investors without requiring specialist knowledge.",
