    "supporting_data": "The Xtrackers MSCI EMU UCITS ETF (3C - CHF Hedged) is a UCITS-compliant, physically replicating ETF tracking a transparent, rules-based equity index (MSCI EMU). It uses derivatives only for currency hedging at the share class level and for efficient portfolio management (EPM), not as a core part of its replication strategy. There is no evidence of synthetic replication, embedded swaps, leverage beyond UCITS limits, or exposure to complex or opaque indices. The ETFu2019s structure, risks, and objectives are straightforward and disclosed in the KID. Under MiFID II, all UCITS are automatically non-complex unless they are 'structured UCITS'u2014which this ETF is not, as it does not employ complex portfolio management techniques or algorithm-based payouts[1][3]. The use of derivatives for hedging and EPM, when limited and well-disclosed, does not automatically trigger a complex classification under MiFID II, especially when the ETFu2019s performance and risks remain closely tied to the underlying index and the impact of derivative use on the risk-return profile is minimal[1]. The ETFu2019s risk profile (category 6) reflects market volatility, not structural complexity. Therefore, despite the use of derivatives for hedging, the ETF remains non-complex under MiFID II rules[1]."
