    "supporting_data": "The Xtrackers MSCI World UCITS ETF (IE00BZ1BS790) is a UCITS-compliant, physically replicated ETF tracking the MSCI World Index. Derivatives are used only for currency hedging at the share class level and for efficient portfolio management (EPM), not as a core part of the replication strategy. The ETF does not use synthetic replication, swaps, or leverage beyond UCITS limits. The underlying index is transparent, rules-based, and consists of liquid, developed market equities. Securities lending is employed but is secondary, well-managed within UCITS rules, and does not dominate the risk profile. There is no evidence of embedded derivatives, contingent convertible bonds, or complex structured products. The ETFu2019s structure, risks, and objectives are straightforward and disclosed, supporting the presumption that a retail investor with basic knowledge can understand the product. Under MiFID II, all UCITS are automatically non-complex unless they employ complex strategies or structures that make the product difficult to understandu2014which is not the case here, as derivative use is limited to hedging and EPM, not central to the investment objective[1]. ESMA guidance confirms that UCITS ETFs using derivatives for hedging or EPM, without making them integral to the strategy, generally remain non-complex, provided the risks are transparent and the structure is not opaque[2]. Therefore, this ETF is classified as non-complex."
