    "supporting_data": "The fund is a UCITS ETF tracking the Solactive 1-3 Month US T-Bill Index, investing primarily in US Treasury bills with maturities between 1 and 3 months. The KIID and PRIIPs KID documents confirm the use of a representative sampling strategy and physical securities, but also explicitly state that when it is not possible or practicable to hold all index components, the Fund may invest in financial derivative instruments, specifically total return 'unfunded' OTC swaps and exchange traded equity futures. The presence of unfunded total return swaps is a key complexity indicator under MiFID II. Although the derivatives are used to achieve the investment objective rather than for risk management, the use of unfunded swaps and counterparty exposure triggers a complex classification. There is no leverage, inverse exposure, or capital protection features. The risk profile is very low (category 1), reflecting the underlying short-term US Treasury bills, but the complexity arises from the synthetic replication method involving unfunded swaps. Costs are low and straightforward, with no performance fees. The fund does not invest in complex underlying assets such as contingent bonds or CLOs. The PRIIPs KID does not carry a comprehension warning, but the swap usage alone mandates a complex classification under MiFID II. Therefore, despite the low risk and straightforward underlying assets, the synthetic replication via unfunded swaps and counterparty risk exposure drive the classification as complex."
