    "supporting_data": "The ETF physically replicates the Bloomberg Euro Universal Corporate ex Financials Hybrid Capital Securities 8% Capped Bond Index by holding the underlying securities directly, as confirmed by the KIID and factsheet stating 'physical replication' and 'hold all the securities in the Index in their respective weightings'. There is no mention of synthetic replication, swap agreements, or derivative instruments used for investment purposes, only limited use of derivatives for risk management, which does not trigger complexity. The fund is UCITS compliant and does not employ leverage or inverse strategies. However, the underlying index consists exclusively of fixed-to-floating hybrid capital securities, which are subordinated, complex debt instruments often classified as contingent capital or capital credit securities. These hybrid bonds have features such as fixed-to-floating coupons, subordinated status, and perpetual maturities, making them inherently complex and less liquid than standard bonds. The risk profile in the KIID is moderate (risk category 4), but the complexity arises from the nature of the underlying assets rather than leverage or derivatives. The PRIIPs KID confirms a low risk indicator (2/7) but notes no capital protection and the possibility of losing some or all invested capital. The factsheet confirms no use of swaps or synthetic replication and physical holding of complex subordinated bonds. The presence of subordinated hybrid capital securities, which are complex fixed income instruments with contingent features, drives the MiFID II classification as complex despite the straightforward replication and absence of leverage or synthetic structures. No leverage, inverse exposure, or capital protection mechanisms are present. The fund uses securities lending, but this is standard and does not add complexity under MiFID II. Overall, the complexity is driven by the underlying asset complexity (hybrid capital bonds) rather than replication method or leverage."
