    "supporting_data": "The ETF is a UCITS ETF physically investing in a diversified portfolio of investment grade USD corporate bonds maturing in December 2028, tracking the Bloomberg MSCI December 2028 Maturity USD Corporate ESG Screened Index. The KIID and PRIIPs KID explicitly state the Fund aims to invest 'so far as possible and practicable' directly in the underlying fixed income securities, with only limited use of financial derivative instruments (FDIs) for direct investment purposes, not for leverage or synthetic replication. There is no mention of synthetic replication, swap agreements, or counterparty risk related to derivatives as an inherent part of the strategy. The Fund uses 'optimising techniques' which is consistent with representative sampling but does not imply synthetic replication. The monthly factsheet confirms physical holdings of 443 bonds with no indication of swap usage or leverage. The risk profile is low (4 in KIID, 2 in PRIIPs), consistent with direct bond exposure. No leverage, inverse or capital protection features are present. Costs are straightforward with no swap or performance fees. Securities lending is used but revenue sharing is disclosed and does not increase costs. The Fund is a defined term fund with a fixed maturity date, which adds some complexity in terms of investment horizon but does not affect MiFID II complexity classification. No complex underlying assets such as contingent convertible bonds or CLOs are held. The ESG screening and index construction do not add complexity under MiFID II. Overall, the Fund exhibits a clear, linear relationship to the underlying bond index, with minimal derivative use for risk management rather than strategy, no leverage, and physical replication. Therefore, it is classified as non-complex under MiFID II rules."
