    "supporting_data": "The Fund is a UCITS-compliant ETF investing primarily in below investment grade US dollar denominated corporate bonds (fallen angels). It uses a sampling methodology to replicate the ICE US Fallen Angel High Yield 10% Constrained Index, which implies it does not hold all underlying securities fully. The KIID and PRIIPs documents confirm the Fund may invest in financial derivative instruments including swaps (fixed income swaps and index swaps), futures, options, currency forwards, and non-deliverable forwards. The use of swaps is explicitly mentioned and is inherent to the investment strategy, not merely for risk management, which triggers complexity under MiFID II. The Fund does not employ leverage or inverse exposure. The risk profile is moderate (risk level 5 in KIID, 3 in PRIIPs), reflecting credit risk and market risk of high yield bonds. The Fund holds complex underlying assets (high yield bonds) which are less liquid and more sensitive to credit events. The presence of swaps and derivative instruments, combined with the complexity of the underlying index and bond holdings, leads to a classification of 'complex' under MiFID II. There is no capital protection or structured product features. Costs are straightforward with no performance fees but include derivative-related costs. The monthly factsheet confirms physical (optimized) replication with some derivative use, consistent with the KIID and PRIIPs. No leverage or inverse exposure is present. The PRIIPs KID does not carry a specific comprehension warning but does highlight the need for investor understanding of the product and market risks. Overall, the key complexity driver is the use of swaps and the nature of the underlying high yield bond index with sampling, which may cause tracking error and counterparty risk exposure.",
