    "supporting_data": "The UBS GBP Overnight Rate SF UCITS ETF tracks the Solactive SONIA Daily Total Return Index using a synthetic replication method. The Fund invests in financial derivative instruments (FDIs) with UBS AG as counterparty, employing a swap agreement where the performance of the index is swapped to the Fund in exchange for the performance of the securities held by the Fund. This swap-based structure means the Fund's performance depends on the counterparty's ability to meet its obligations, introducing counterparty risk. The Fund also holds securities but their performance is swapped away, indicating the derivatives are an inherent part of the investment strategy rather than risk management. There is no leverage or inverse exposure, and the risk profile is low (category 1), but the presence of synthetic replication and swap counterparty risk classifies the ETF as complex under MiFID II. No capital protection or structured features are present. Costs are straightforward with no performance fees, but swap-related costs are implied. The Fund is UCITS compliant. The synthetic replication and swap usage are the primary drivers of complexity, as they introduce elements that retail investors may find difficult to understand, despite the low risk rating and straightforward index tracking objective."
