    "supporting_data": "This UCITS ETF is passively managed and primarily uses physical replication to track the MSCI USA Quality Advanced Target Select Index, investing at least 90% of its assets in index constituents. Derivatives may be used for efficient portfolio management (EPM) purposesu2014such as managing inflows/outflows, hedging currency risk, or reducing transaction costsu2014but are not central to the investment strategy. The KID states that derivatives are used 'where it may not be possible or practicable to replicate the index through direct investments or in order to generate efficiencies in gaining exposure to the index.' The use of OTC derivatives introduces counterparty risk, but this is mitigated by the fund's collateral policy. There is no evidence of embedded derivatives, swaps, leverage beyond UCITS limits, complex indices, or other features that would make the structure or risks difficult for a retail investor to understand. The fund's objective, structure, and risks (market volatility, tracking error) are straightforward and transparent. Securities lending is permitted but is a secondary feature, well-managed within UCITS rules, and does not dominate the risk profile. The index is transparent and well-documented. The fund is UCITS-compliant, which under MiFID II generally presumes non-complexity unless specific complex features are present, which are not evident here. Therefore, despite limited derivative use for EPM, the ETF remains non-complex under MiFID II Article 25(4) and Article 57 of the Delegated Regulation, as the derivative use is ancillary, risks are mitigated, and the structure is easily understood by retail investors with basic knowledge[1]."
