    "supporting_data": "The Franklin European Quality Dividend UCITS ETF is classified as non-complex under MiFID II for the following reasons:1. Physical Replication: The fund uses full physical replication to track its benchmark index, as explicitly stated in the factsheet ('Product Structure: Physical'). This means it directly holds the underlying securities of the LibertyQ European Dividend Index, not derivatives or swaps.2. No Leverage or Inverse Exposure: There is no mention of leverage, inverse strategies, or amplified returns in any of the documents. The fund's objective is straightforward: to track the performance of its benchmark index.3. Simple Investment Strategy: The fund invests in equities of developed European companies with high and persistent dividend income, using a transparent selection process based on dividend persistence and quality screens.4. UCITS Compliance: The fund is UCITS-compliant, which inherently imposes strict regulatory standards that limit complexity in investment strategies.5. Risk Profile: The fund's risk profile is aligned with its underlying assets (equities of developed European companies), and the risks disclosed (e.g., market risk, counterparty risk) are typical for equity ETFs and easily understandable by retail investors.6. No Complex Underlying Assets: The underlying index (LibertyQ European Dividend Index) is a straightforward equity index, not a complex or structured product.7. Derivative Usage: While the KIID mentions that the fund 'may use derivatives for hedging and efficient portfolio management,' this is a standard disclosure for UCITS funds and does not indicate actual derivative usage. The factsheet confirms the fund uses physical replication, and there is no evidence of significant derivative exposure in the holdings or performance data.8. Transparency: The fund provides clear, comprehensive information about its strategy, holdings, and risks, making it suitable for retail investors with basic investment knowledge.The only potential complexity factor is the mention of counterparty risk in the KIID, but this is a standard disclosure for any fund that may use derivatives, even if it does not actually do so. Given the fund's physical replication strategy and lack of leverage or inverse exposure, this does not trigger a 'complex' classification under MiFID II.",
