    "supporting_data": "This UCITS ETF is classified as non-complex under MiFID II because it is a UCITS, which are automatically presumed non-complex unless specific features introduce complexity that is difficult for retail investors to understand[1]. The ETF primarily uses physical replication to track the MSCI Japan Index, holding the underlying securities in generally the same proportion as the index. While the ETF may use derivatives for efficient portfolio management (EPM) and to gain exposure when direct investment is not possible or practical, such use is limited (up to 10% in total return swaps and contracts for difference, not expected to exceed 5%) and is ancillary to the main strategy of tracking a transparent, well-documented equity index. Securities lending is permitted up to 30% of assets (not expected to exceed 25%), which is a common, well-disclosed feature in UCITS ETFs and does not, by itself, trigger a complex classification. There is no significant leverage beyond UCITS limits, no embedded derivatives, and no opaque or complex index. The risks disclosed (market risk, tracking error, counterparty risk from derivatives and securities lending, liquidity risk) are standard for equity ETFs and are clearly explained in the Key Investor Information Document (KIID). The structure, objective, and risks of the ETF are straightforward and can be understood by a retail investor with basic knowledge. Therefore, despite limited derivative use and securities lending, the ETF does not exhibit features that would override the UCITS presumption of non-complexity under MiFID II[1]. If the ETF used synthetic replication or embedded complex derivatives as a core part of its strategy, or targeted a complex or opaque index, it might be classified as complex, but this is not the case here[2]."
