    "supporting_data": "The ETF uses physical replication with a representative sampling approach to track an investment grade US dollar corporate bond index with maturities 1-3 years. There is no mention of synthetic replication, swap agreements, or total return swaps in the KIID, PRIIPs KID, or factsheet. The fund may use derivatives only for risk or cost reduction or to generate extra income, but this is incidental and not inherent to the strategy, so derivatives are marked false. There is no leverage or inverse exposure. The risk profile is low to moderate (3/7 in KIID, 2/7 in PRIIPs KID), consistent with a straightforward bond ETF. The underlying assets are investment grade corporate bonds, liquid and transparent, with no complex structured products or contingent convertible bonds. No capital protection or structured features are present. Costs are simple with a low ongoing charge of 0.09%, no performance fees, and no swap or derivative fees. The PRIIPs KID states the fund 'is not simple and may be difficult to understand' but this is a standard regulatory phrase for bond funds with some currency risk and does not indicate complexity under MiFID II. The factsheet confirms physical replication and no synthetic structures. Overall, the fund exhibits none of the complexity indicators such as synthetic replication, leverage, complex underlying assets, or capital protection mechanisms that would classify it as complex under MiFID II."
