    "supporting_data": "The Invesco Preferred Shares UCITS ETF is classified as non-complex under MiFID II based on the following analysis:1. **Replication Method**: The fund uses physical replication, as explicitly stated in the PRIIPs KID ('Replication method: Physical'). This is a key non-complex indicator.2. **Derivative Usage**: There is no mention of synthetic replication, swaps, or derivative instruments in the KIID or PRIIPs KID. The fund does not use derivatives for leverage, inverse exposure, or capital protection.3. **Underlying Assets**: The fund invests in preferred securities (a type of hybrid security) and subordinated debt, which are not inherently complex. While preferred securities can have complex features (e.g., perpetual bonds, deferred distributions), the fund's risk disclosures do not suggest these features are materially complex for retail investors.4. **Risk Profile**: The fund is rated in risk category 6 (out of 7), which is relatively high but not automatically indicative of complexity. The risks disclosed (e.g., interest rate risk, preferred securities risk) are typical for fixed-income funds and do not involve exotic or opaque structures.5. **UCITS Compliance**: The fund is UCITS-compliant, which inherently limits the use of complex strategies and derivatives.6. **No Leverage or Inverse Exposure**: The fund does not employ leverage or inverse strategies, as confirmed by the absence of terms like 'leveraged,' 'inverse,' or 'gearing' in the documentation.7. **Transparency and Liquidity**: The fund is listed on exchanges, and its holdings are disclosed, making it transparent and liquid.**Counterarguments and Override**:- Some may argue that perpetual preferred securities (with no maturity) or subordinated debt (with lower credit priority) introduce complexity. However, these features are standard in fixed-income investing and do not make the fund inherently complex under MiFID II.- The high risk rating (6/7) could raise concerns, but the risks are clearly disclosed and typical for fixed-income funds.**Conclusion**: The fund is non-complex because it uses physical replication, does not rely on derivatives, and its risks are transparent and typical for its asset class.",
