    "supporting_data": "The Xtrackers MSCI Europe Industrials Screened UCITS ETF (1C) is classified as non-complex under MiFID II for the following reasons: 1. Physical Replication: The fund uses direct physical replication (as confirmed in the factsheet) to track the MSCI Europe Industrials Screened 20-35 Select Index, meaning it invests directly in the underlying securities rather than using synthetic methods. 2. No Leverage or Inverse Exposure: There is no mention of leverage, inverse strategies, or amplified returns in the KIID or factsheet. 3. Minimal Derivative Use: While the KIID mentions the possibility of using derivatives for risk management, the factsheet clarifies that the fund employs direct replication. The derivative usage appears to be limited to efficient portfolio management (e.g., hedging or reducing transaction costs) rather than as an inherent part of the strategy. 4. UCITS Compliance: The fund is UCITS-compliant, which inherently limits the use of complex structures and derivatives. 5. Transparent Risk Profile: The risk profile is straightforward, with the fund's performance closely tied to the underlying index. The risk rating (category 6) is consistent with the volatility of the industrials sector. 6. No Capital Protection or Structured Features: There are no capital guarantees, principal protection mechanisms, or structured return formulas. 7. Liquidity and Transparency: The fund is listed on major exchanges (e.g., London Stock Exchange, XETRA) and provides regular disclosures, ensuring liquidity and transparency. 8. No Counterparty Risk: Since the fund uses physical replication, there is no exposure to counterparty risk from swaps or derivatives. The factsheet confirms that the fund holds the underlying securities directly. 9. Simple Cost Structure: The ongoing charges (0.17%) are straightforward, with no performance fees or complex fee structures. 10. Index Complexity: The MSCI Europe Industrials Screened 20-35 Select Index is a rules-based, liquid index with clear eligibility criteria (e.g., ESG screening, sector classification). While the index applies caps (e.g., 35% for the largest group entity), this does not introduce complexity beyond standard index-tracking ETFs. The index's methodology is transparent and widely understood.",
