    "supporting_data": "The Invesco Global Enhanced Equity UCITS ETF is a UCITS-compliant ETF, actively managed with a portfolio of global equities selected via a quantitative model. It does not seek to track an index but aims to outperform the MSCI World Index. The fund invests primarily in equities and equity-related securities from developed markets, and it may engage in securities lending, which introduces counterparty risk. The fund's use of derivatives is not explicitly detailed as limited to efficient portfolio management; given the active management and equity-related securities exposure, derivatives are likely integral to the strategy. According to MiFID II Article 25(4)(a)(iv) and Article 57, UCITS ETFs are generally non-complex unless they embed derivatives or structured products that alter risk profiles or require advanced understanding. The fund's active management and potential derivative use, combined with securities lending, suggest complexity under MiFID II criteria, as retail investors with basic knowledge may find the structure and risks difficult to understand. ESMA guidance and CESR analysis confirm that UCITS ETFs with synthetic replication or significant derivative exposure are complex. Although physical replication is generally non-complex, the active management and derivative use here imply complexity. Therefore, the fund does not meet all Article 57 criteria for non-complex instruments, particularly regarding derivative use and ease of understanding. Hence, it is classified as complex under MiFID II appropriateness rules."
