    "supporting_data": "The ETF uses synthetic replication via an OTC swap with Morgan Stanley Bank AG and Societe Generale, which introduces counterparty risk. While the swap is used for currency hedging (USD to GBP) rather than leverage or inverse exposure, the use of derivatives for replication and hedging, combined with the counterparty risk, makes this ETF complex under MiFID II. The fact that the ETF is UCITS-compliant does not automatically make it non-complex, as UCITS rules allow for synthetic replication with derivatives. The risk profile includes derivative-related risks (leverage, volatility, valuation, liquidity) and counterparty risk, which are not trivial for retail investors to assess. The fact that the ETF is hedged monthly does not reduce the complexity, as the hedging mechanism itself relies on derivatives. The fact that the ETF tracks a straightforward equity index (FTSE 100) does not override the complexity introduced by the synthetic replication and hedging structure.",
