    "supporting_data": "The fund is a UCITS ETF investing primarily in USD-denominated investment grade fixed income securities with a short maturity profile. It is actively managed and uses physical holdings of bonds. However, the KIID and factsheet explicitly state the use of derivatives including swaps, futures, and forwards to obtain market exposure and manage the portfolio. The derivatives are used to gain exposure rather than for hedging only, and the fund is exposed to counterparty risk from these derivative counterparties. The KIID mentions 'swaps' and 'counterparty risk' multiple times, indicating synthetic elements in the replication or exposure method. The factsheet confirms the use of swaps and derivatives offsets, though no leverage or inverse exposure is present. The risk profile is low (2/7), but the presence of swaps and derivative instruments, even if not leveraged, triggers MiFID II complexity classification. The fund does not have capital protection or structured features. Costs are straightforward with no performance fees but include derivative-related costs. The PRIIPs KID does not carry a comprehension warning but the derivative usage and counterparty risk disclosures are significant. Overall, the use of swaps and derivatives as an inherent part of the investment strategy, combined with counterparty risk, leads to classification as complex under MiFID II despite the low risk rating and physical bond holdings.",
