    "supporting_data": "The L&G Battery Value-Chain UCITS ETF is classified as non-complex under MiFID II based on the following analysis: 1. Physical replication method: The fund uses physical replication (full replication) as confirmed in the fact sheet, which is a non-complex indicator. 2. No leverage or inverse exposure: There is no mention of leverage, inverse strategies, or amplified returns in the documentation. 3. Straightforward investment strategy: The fund aims to track the Solactive Battery Value-Chain Index through direct investment in the underlying securities, with no complex structured features or capital protection mechanisms. 4. UCITS compliance: The fund is UCITS-compliant, which typically indicates a lower complexity profile. 5. Risk profile: The fund's risk rating is 7 (on a 1-7 scale), which is not unusually high for an equity ETF. 6. No derivative usage for strategy: While the KIID mentions the possibility of using financial derivative instruments (FDIs), this appears to be for efficient portfolio management rather than as an inherent part of the strategy. The fact sheet confirms physical replication, and there is no indication of extensive derivative usage. 7. Transparent and liquid underlying assets: The fund invests in publicly traded companies with sufficient size and liquidity, which are characteristics of non-complex investments. The only potential complexity factor is the mention of FDIs in the KIID, but this is not sufficient to classify the fund as complex, especially given the confirmation of physical replication in the fact sheet. The fund's straightforward tracking of a thematic equity index with no leverage or complex structures aligns with typical non-complex ETFs under MiFID II.",
