    "supporting_data": "The Fund invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of below investment grade corporate and quasi-government bonds denominated in multiple currencies. It uses a sampling methodology to approximate the index rather than full replication, indicating some complexity in portfolio construction. The Fund may invest in financial derivative instruments including futures, swaps (including fixed income swaps and index swaps), and currency forwards, but these are used for efficient portfolio management or hedging rather than as an inherent element of the investment strategy, so 'derivatives' is marked false. However, the presence of swaps (including total return swaps) and counterparty exposure is explicitly mentioned, which triggers complexity classification under MiFID II. The Fund is UCITS compliant and physically holds underlying securities, but the use of swaps and the nature of the underlying assets (high yield, fallen angel bonds) which are less liquid and harder to value, add to complexity. There is no leverage beyond 1:1, no inverse or leveraged exposure, and no capital protection or structured features. The risk profile is moderate (risk level 3-4), but the complexity arises mainly from the use of swaps and the underlying asset class characteristics. The PRIIPs KID does not carry a comprehension warning but does highlight the need for investors to understand the risks of high yield bonds and derivative usage. The monthly factsheet confirms physical (optimized) replication and no securities lending. The Fund does not engage in securities lending and borrowing is limited to 10% for temporary purposes. The ongoing charges are straightforward with no performance fees. Overall, the presence of swaps and the complexity of the underlying high yield bond market lead to a MiFID II classification of 'complex'."
