    "supporting_data": "The WisdomTree US Equity Income UCITS ETF is a UCITS-compliant ETF that tracks a transparent, rule-based, fundamentally weighted US equity income index. It uses physical replication by investing in a representative sample of the index's underlying securities. The ETF employs forward foreign exchange contracts solely for currency hedging purposes, which are considered efficient portfolio management (EPM) derivatives with minimal impact on the risk-return profile. There is no indication of embedded derivatives, synthetic replication, leverage beyond UCITS limits, or complex structured products such as CLOs or contingent convertible bonds. Securities lending and repurchase agreements are used only for EPM within UCITS limits. The ETF's structure, risks (market volatility, tracking error), and payoff are straightforward and understandable by retail investors with basic knowledge. The index is transparent, with publicly available methodology and clear selection criteria. According to MiFID II Article 25(4)(a)(iv) and Article 57 of the Commission Delegated Regulation, UCITS ETFs that do not embed derivatives as part of their investment objective and use physical replication are presumed non-complex. ESMA guidance and CESR analysis confirm that such ETFs do not require an appropriateness assessment and do not trigger complexity classification. Therefore, this ETF is classified as non-complex under MiFID II rules."
