    "supporting_data": "The iShares STOXX USA Equity Multifactor UCITS ETF is classified as non-complex under MiFID II based on the following analysis: 1) It uses physical replication as its primary replication method, with no mention of synthetic replication or swap agreements. 2) There is no leverage or inverse exposure in the strategy. 3) While the fund may use financial derivative instruments (FDIs) for direct investment purposes, this appears to be for efficient portfolio management rather than as a core strategy. 4) The underlying index (STOXX US Equity Factor Screened) is a multi-factor equity index that selects securities based on factor exposures (Momentum, Quality, Value, Low Volatility, Size), but this does not inherently make the fund complex. 5) The fund's risk profile is rated 6 out of 7, which is relatively moderate for an equity fund. 6) The fund's documentation does not include any 'comprehension warning' in the PRIIPs KID, which would typically indicate complexity. 7) The fund's holdings are straightforward equity securities, with no mention of complex underlying assets like contingent convertible bonds or structured products. The main potential complexity factors are the multi-factor index methodology and the use of optimised replication techniques, but these do not rise to the level of making the fund complex under MiFID II. The fund's transparency, liquidity, and straightforward equity exposure support its non-complex classification.",
