    "supporting_data": "The ETF is classified as non-complex under MiFID II based on the following analysis:1. **Replication Method**: The fund uses physical replication (as confirmed in the fact sheet), holding the underlying securities in similar proportions to the index. There is no mention of synthetic replication or swap agreements.2. **Leverage and Inverse Exposure**: The fund does not employ any leverage or inverse strategies. The investment objective is to track the NASDAQ US High Equity Income Index without amplification or gearing.3. **Underlying Assets**: The fund invests in equity securities included in the index, which are liquid and transparent. There is no exposure to complex structured products, illiquid securities, or other funds using derivatives extensively.4. **Capital Protection**: There are no capital guarantee mechanisms, principal protection features, or structured return formulas mentioned.5. **Risk Profile**: The fund's risk rating is 7 (highest on the scale), but this reflects the volatility of the underlying equity market rather than structural complexity. The risks are clearly disclosed and relate to market risk, not derivative or counterparty risk.6. **Costs and Charges**: The fee structure is straightforward, with an ongoing charge of 0.55% and no performance fees or complex fee arrangements.7. **Derivative Usage**: The fund does not use derivatives for investment purposes. The fact sheet confirms that the replication method is physical, and there is no mention of derivatives in the KIID or PRIIPs KID.8. **Counterparty Risk**: There is no exposure to counterparty risk from swaps or other derivative instruments.9. **Complexity Indicators**: None of the complexity indicators (e.g., synthetic replication, leverage, inverse exposure, capital protection) are present. The fund's structure is transparent and straightforward.10. **UCITS Compliance**: The fund is UCITS-compliant, which inherently limits the use of complex strategies and derivatives.**Conclusion**: The fund is classified as non-complex because it uses physical replication, has a straightforward index-tracking objective, invests directly in liquid securities, and has minimal derivative exposure. The risk profile is clearly disclosed and aligns with the underlying equity market.",
