    "supporting_data": "The Fund is a UCITS-compliant ETF that physically replicates the Bloomberg EM USD Sovereign + Quasi-Sov Index through representative sampling of underlying bonds. 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 incremental income, but this is incidental and not an inherent part of the investment strategy, so derivatives are marked false. There is no leverage, inverse or amplified exposure. The underlying assets are US dollar-denominated emerging market government and quasi-sovereign bonds, which are liquid and transparent fixed income securities without complex structured features or contingent capital instruments. The risk profile is moderate (risk level 3-4), consistent with a bond ETF investing in emerging markets, with no capital protection or structured features. Costs are straightforward with a single ongoing charge figure (0.25%) and no performance fees or swap fees. Counterparty risk is disclosed but limited to custodial and incidental derivative counterparties, typical for physical bond ETFs. The PRIIPs KID includes a comprehension warning that the product 'may not be simple and may be difficult to understand' due to emerging market and currency risks, but this does not imply complexity under MiFID II as per replication or leverage criteria. Overall, the Fund exhibits none of the key complexity indicators such as synthetic replication, leverage, complex underlying assets, or capital protection mechanisms. Therefore, it is classified as non-complex under MiFID II."
