    "supporting_data": "The Invesco USD AAA CLO UCITS ETF primarily invests in AAA-rated tranches of US dollar-denominated floating rate debt securities issued by collateralised loan obligations (CLOs). CLOs are complex structured credit products backed by pools of loans and bonds with a cashflow waterfall structure and varying seniority and risk profiles. The fund is actively managed and does not track a benchmark, investing directly in these structured debt instruments rather than using synthetic replication or derivatives such as swaps. There is no indication of leverage, inverse exposure, or use of derivatives for investment purposes, only physical holdings of CLO debt securities. The fund is UCITS compliant and uses physical replication. However, CLO tranches themselves are complex underlying assets with inherent credit risk, liquidity risk, and structural complexity, which makes the fund difficult to understand for retail investors. The KIID explicitly states the fund is not simple and may be difficult to understand, and it is not offered to retail investors. The risk profile is moderate (risk category 3), but the complexity arises from the nature of the underlying CLO debt securities, which are structured products with credit risk, potential downgrades, and exposure to stressed market conditions. There is no mention of swaps, synthetic replication, leverage, or capital protection mechanisms. The fund does not use derivatives inherently in its strategy but invests in complex structured credit assets. The PRIIPs and factsheet confirm no synthetic replication or swap usage. Therefore, under MiFID II, the fund is classified as complex due to the complexity of the underlying CLO debt securities, despite the absence of leverage or derivatives usage in the fund structure itself."
