    "supporting_data": "The ETF tracks a GDP-weighted emerging markets local currency government bond index. It invests primarily in physical bonds but may use derivatives such as swaps, futures, and options to achieve its investment objective. The KIID and factsheet explicitly mention the use of swaps and derivatives, with associated counterparty risk disclosures. The replication method is described as physical with optimization and sampling, but the use of swaps is inherent to the strategy rather than solely for risk management. There is no leverage or inverse exposure. The fund is UCITS compliant. The risk profile is medium (3/7) but the presence of derivative instruments, counterparty risk, and emerging market exposure increases complexity. The PRIIPs KID does not show a comprehension warning but the derivative usage and counterparty risk disclosures indicate complexity under MiFID II. The fund does not have capital protection or structured features. Costs are straightforward with no performance fees but include derivative-related costs. The fund invests in emerging market bonds, which can be illiquid and hard to value, adding to complexity. Overall, the use of swaps and derivatives for replication, combined with emerging market bond exposure and counterparty risk, drives the classification as complex under MiFID II."
