    "classification": "complex",
    "supporting_data": "The fund is a UCITS ETF, which generally presumes non-complexity under MiFID II. However, this ETF uses financial derivative instruments (FDIs) for investment purposes to achieve its objective and may generate market leverage, which introduces complexity. The fund is actively managed with discretion and may deviate materially from its benchmark index, adding to complexity. The derivatives are not solely for efficient portfolio management but integral to the investment strategy, which aligns with the MiFID II criteria for complexity. There is no indication of synthetic replication or embedded derivatives like structured products, but the use of derivatives for investment purposes and potential leverage means it fails the non-complex criteria under Article 57 of the Commission Delegated Regulation. The fund's risk profile is high (risk category six), reflecting market and structural risks. Securities lending is present but secondary and well-managed, not a primary complexity driver. Therefore, despite being a UCITS ETF, the use of derivatives for investment and active management with potential leverage classifies this ETF as complex under MiFID II rules, requiring an appropriateness assessment for retail investors."
