    "supporting_data": "The fund is a UCITS ETF, which generally presumes non-complexity under MiFID II. However, this ETF uses financial derivative instruments (FDIs) not only for efficient portfolio management but also for investment purposes to achieve its investment objective and may generate market leverage. The use of derivatives for investment purposes and leverage introduces complexity due to risks such as counterparty risk and the need for understanding derivative instruments, which are beyond basic retail investor knowledge. The fund is actively managed with quantitative models and may invest in fixed income securities and money market instruments, some of which may be complex. The replication method is physical, but the presence of derivatives and leverage overrides the non-complex presumption. According to MiFID II Article 25(4)(a)(iv) and Article 57, UCITS ETFs are non-complex unless they embed derivatives or structured products that introduce complexity. The fund's use of derivatives for investment purposes and leverage means it fails the non-complex criteria, requiring an appropriateness assessment. Therefore, the ETF is classified as complex under MiFID II."
