    "supporting_data": "The L&G Europe ex-UK Quality Dividends Equal Weight UCITS ETF is classified as non-complex under MiFID II based on the following analysis: 1. Replication Method: The fund uses physical replication with optimised sampling, as stated in both the KIID and fact sheet ('Physical - optimised'). There is no mention of synthetic replication or swap agreements. 2. Leverage/Inverse Exposure: No references to leverage, inverse strategies, or amplified returns are present in the documentation. 3. Derivative Usage: While the fund may use financial derivative instruments (FDIs) for efficient portfolio management, this is standard practice in physical replication ETFs and does not indicate complexity. The fact sheet confirms the use of derivatives is limited to managing the portfolio efficiently. 4. Underlying Assets: The fund invests in a diversified basket of European equities with quality and dividend growth characteristics, which are transparent and liquid. 5. Risk Profile: The fund's risk rating of 6/7 is consistent with equity investments but does not indicate complexity. 6. Costs: The fund has a straightforward fee structure with no performance fees or complex cost arrangements. 7. UCITS Compliance: The fund is UCITS-compliant, which inherently limits complexity. The fact sheet explicitly states the fund is designed for investors looking to grow their money in a transparent investment strategy. The absence of any complexity indicators (leverage, swaps, capital protection, etc.) and the fund's straightforward equity investment strategy support the non-complex classification.",
