    "supporting_data": "The Vanguard ESG Emerging Markets All Cap (USD) Distributing UCITS ETF is a UCITS-compliant, physically replicated ETF tracking a transparent, market-cap-weighted equity index. It uses derivatives only for efficient portfolio management (EPM), not as a core part of its investment strategy, and does not employ leverage, swaps, or inverse strategies. The ETFu2019s structure, risks, and payoff are straightforward and easily understood by retail investors with basic knowledge. There are no embedded derivatives, contingent convertible bonds, or complex indices. The ETF is listed and traded daily, with comprehensive, publicly available information. All these factors align with the MiFID II presumption that UCITS ETFs are non-complex, absent features that introduce structural complexity or opacity[1]. The use of derivatives for limited EPM purposes does not, in this case, trigger a complex classification under MiFID II Article 57, as the risks introduced are negligible and well-disclosed, and the productu2019s characteristics remain transparent and accessible to the average retail investor."
