    "supporting_data": "The ETF is classified as non-complex under MiFID II for the following reasons:1. **Physical Replication**: The fund uses physical replication to track the MSCI World Mid-Cap Equal Weighted Index, investing directly in equity securities that make up the index. The KIID explicitly states that the fund 'invests in equity securities (e.g. shares) that, so far as possible and practicable, make up the Index.'2. **Limited Derivative Use**: While the KIID mentions that the fund 'may use financial derivative instruments (FDIs)' for direct investment purposes, it specifies that 'the use of FDIs is expected to be limited for this Share Class.' The PRIIPs KID and factsheet do not indicate any significant derivative exposure or swap usage, suggesting that derivatives are used minimally, if at all, for efficient portfolio management rather than as a core strategy.3. **No Leverage or Inverse Exposure**: The fund does not employ leverage or inverse strategies. The KIID and PRIIPs KID do not mention any amplified returns, gearing, or inverse exposure, and the risk profile is consistent with a straightforward equity fund.4. **Transparent Underlying Assets**: The underlying assets are mid-cap equities, which are liquid and transparent. The index methodology is clearly explained, and the fund's holdings are disclosed in the factsheet.5. **No Capital Protection or Structured Features**: The fund does not include capital protection mechanisms, barrier options, or other structured features that would increase complexity.6. **Risk Profile**: The fund's risk rating is consistent with its equity exposure, and the risks disclosed (e.g., market risk, liquidity risk) are typical for an equity ETF. There are no indications of excessive counterparty risk or illiquid assets.7. **UCITS Compliance**: The fund is a UCITS ETF, which inherently imposes strict regulatory requirements on transparency, liquidity, and risk management, further supporting its non-complex classification.**Counterarguments and Override**:- Some may argue that the mention of FDIs in the KIID could imply derivative usage, but the factsheet and PRIIPs KID do not provide evidence of significant derivative exposure. The limited use of derivatives for efficient portfolio management does not trigger complexity under MiFID II.- The fund's risk rating (6) is relatively high, but this reflects the inherent risk of mid-cap equities rather than structural complexity.**Conclusion**: The fund is non-complex because it uses physical replication, has minimal derivative exposure, and invests in transparent, liquid assets. The risks are easily understandable for retail investors, and the fund's structure is straightforward.",
