    "supporting_data": "The Vanguard FTSE North America UCITS ETF is a UCITS-compliant ETF, which is automatically presumed non-complex under MiFID II unless specific features indicate otherwise[1]. The ETF uses physical replication to track a transparent, well-documented equity index (FTSE North America), and its structure and risks (market volatility, tracking error, sector/country concentration) are straightforward and easily understood by retail investors with basic knowledge. The ETF may use derivatives, but only for efficient portfolio management (EPM) such as risk reduction or cost management, not as a core part of its investment strategy. There is no evidence of significant leverage, synthetic replication, embedded derivatives, or other opaque features that would introduce complexity. The ETFu2019s risk profile is driven by market risk, not structural complexity. All these factors support a non-complex classification under MiFID II Article 25(4) and Delegated Regulation Article 57[1]."
