    "supporting_data": "The L&G Quality Equity Dividends ESG Exclusions Emerging Markets UCITS ETF is classified as non-complex under MiFID II based on the following analysis: 1. Replication Method: The fund uses physical replication (optimised sampling) as confirmed in both the KIID and fact sheet. 2. Derivative Usage: While the KIID mentions potential use of financial derivative instruments (FDIs), the fact sheet clarifies this is for efficient portfolio management and not for leverage or complex strategies. 3. Risk Profile: The fund has a risk rating of 6/7, which is moderate for an equity fund, and there are no indications of complex structures like leverage, inverse strategies, or capital protection features. 4. Transparency: The underlying index (FTSE Emerging All Cap ex CW ex TC ex REITS Dividend Growth with Quality Net Tax Index) is a standard equity index with quality and ESG screens, not a complex or synthetic index. 5. UCITS Compliance: The fund is UCITS-compliant, which inherently limits the use of complex strategies. 6. No Counterparty Risk: There are no indications of significant counterparty risk from derivative usage. The fund's primary risk is market risk from equity investments in emerging markets. 7. No Leverage: The fund does not employ any leverage or gearing. The fact sheet shows straightforward equity exposure with no mention of derivative-based strategies beyond basic replication needs. The absence of any complexity indicators (leverage, inverse strategies, synthetic replication, or complex underlying assets) and the fund's transparent, physically replicated structure support the non-complex classification.",
