    "supporting_data": "The SPDR FTSE EPRA Europe ex UK Real Estate UCITS ETF is a UCITS-compliant, physically replicated ETF tracking a transparent, well-diversified equity index (FTSE EPRA Nareit Developed Europe ex UK Index). It primarily holds the underlying securities of the index, with physical replication, and uses derivatives only for efficient portfolio management (EPM)u2014not as a central part of its investment strategy. There is no evidence of synthetic replication, embedded derivatives, significant leverage, complex indices, or other features that would introduce structural complexity or opacity. The ETFu2019s risks are typical of equity market volatility and concentration in real estate securities, but these are market risks, not structural complexities. Under MiFID II, UCITS ETFs are generally presumed non-complex unless they employ complex strategies or structures that make the product difficult for a retail investor to understand[1]. Here, the use of derivatives is limited and ancillary, the replication is physical and transparent, and there are no features that would override the UCITS presumption of non-complexity. Therefore, this ETF meets all criteria for classification as non-complex under MiFID II Article 25(4) and Delegated Regulation Article 57[1]."
