    "supporting_data": "The Invesco Physical Gold GBP Hedged ETC is classified as non-complex under MiFID II despite several complexity indicators. While it uses physical replication (gold bullion) as its primary method, the currency hedging mechanism and long-term maturity (2100) introduce some complexity. The CNMV warning about retail investor suitability suggests potential complexity, but the fund's straightforward objective (tracking gold price hedged to GBP) and physical backing mitigate this. The use of derivatives is limited to currency hedging, which is a common and transparent practice in commodity ETCs. The counterparty risk (issuer/custodian) is disclosed but not excessive. The fund's risk profile (4/7) is medium, and the performance is directly tied to gold prices, making it understandable for investors. The absence of leverage, inverse strategies, or complex derivatives keeps the product within non-complex boundaries.",
