    "supporting_data": "The ETF aims to replicate the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index primarily through direct investment in fixed income securities, including government, government-related, corporate, and securitized bonds. The fund uses 'optimising techniques' which may include some use of financial derivative instruments (FDIs) for direct investment purposes and currency hedging (FX forwards), but these are not inherent to the investment strategy and are used for risk management rather than to create synthetic exposure. There is no mention of synthetic replication, swap agreements, total return swaps, or counterparty exposure related to derivatives. The fund is UCITS compliant and uses physical sampling methodology. Leverage or inverse exposure is not present. The risk profile is moderate (risk level 3-4), consistent with investment grade bond exposure, and no capital protection or structured features are present. Costs are straightforward with a TER of 0.30%, no performance fees, and some securities lending revenue sharing, which does not increase costs. The monthly factsheet confirms a physical product structure with a large number of holdings (~9,500), diversified across US government and corporate bonds, including asset-backed securities. The hedging strategy uses FX forwards to reduce currency risk but does not introduce complexity under MiFID II. No complex underlying assets such as contingent convertible bonds or CLOs are indicated. The PRIIPs KID does not include any comprehension warnings or complexity flags. Overall, the ETF exhibits a clear, linear relationship to the underlying index and invests directly in liquid, transparent securities, making it non-complex under MiFID II criteria."
