    "supporting_data": "The asset is a UCITS ETF, which under MiFID II Article 25(4)(a)(iv) is generally presumed non-complex due to strict regulatory requirements ensuring diversification, liquidity, and transparency. The ETF tracks the MSCI USA Select Factor Mix 100% hedged to EUR Index using a sampling strategy with portfolio optimization, investing in a representative sample of underlying stocks. The ETF may use derivatives only for risk reduction, cost reduction, or income generation, but this use is limited and for efficient portfolio management (EPM) purposes, with no embedded derivatives integral to the investment objective. The ETF explicitly states it will not engage in securities lending and does not use leverage beyond UCITS limits. The replication method is physical (sampling of underlying securities), which is transparent and straightforward. The risk profile is high due to equity market volatility but does not imply structural complexity. The ETF does not embed complex features such as contingent convertible bonds, synthetic replication, or structured products like CLOs. According to ESMA and CESR guidance, such a UCITS ETF with limited derivative use for EPM and physical replication is classified as non-complex. Therefore, no appropriateness assessment is required for execution-only sales, and no comprehension alert is mandated in the PRIIPs KID. This classification aligns with Janus Henderson's statement that all UCITS funds are automatically non-complex under MiFID II and ESMA's view that synthetic or structured UCITS are complex, which does not apply here."
