    "supporting_data": "The Xtrackers FTSE 100 Short Daily Swap UCITS ETF uses synthetic replication via swap agreements to achieve inverse exposure to the FTSE 100. This involves significant counterparty risk and requires daily rebalancing, making it complex under MiFID II. The inverse nature of the strategy and reliance on derivatives for core exposure (not just efficient portfolio management) are key complexity drivers. While UCITS-compliant, the short-term daily tracking mechanism and potential for asymmetric returns further increase complexity. The fund's risk profile (category 6) and disclosures about counterparty risk and tracking error support this classification.",
