    "supporting_data": "The UBS Core MSCI EM UCITS ETF is a UCITS-compliant, physically replicated ETF tracking a transparent, well-documented equity index (MSCI Emerging Markets). Derivatives are used only for efficient portfolio management (EPM)u2014such as managing inflows/outflows, hedging currency risk, or reducing transaction costsu2014and not as a central part of the investment strategy. The ETF does not use synthetic replication, swaps, or leverage beyond UCITS limits. There is no evidence of embedded derivatives, complex indices, or contingent convertible bonds. The structure, risks, and payoff are straightforward and can be understood by retail investors with basic knowledge. Securities lending is permitted but is a secondary feature, well-managed within UCITS rules, and does not dominate the risk profile. The risk rating reflects market volatility (emerging market equities) but not structural complexity. All these factors align with the presumption that UCITS ETFs are non-complex under MiFID II, provided derivative use is limited to EPM and does not introduce material complexity or opacity[1]. ESMA guidance confirms that UCITS are generally non-complex, with exceptions only for structured UCITS or those where derivatives are central to the strategy, which is not the case here[2]."
