    "supporting_data": "The ETF primarily invests in US Treasury bonds with maturities between 1 and 3 years, aiming to track the Bloomberg US 1-3 Year Treasury Bond Total Return Index. The replication method is predominantly physical (full replication) as confirmed by the factsheet. However, the KIID and PRIIPs KID explicitly state that derivatives, including OTC derivatives such as swaps, may be used to gain exposure where direct replication is impractical or to improve efficiency. The use of OTC derivatives introduces counterparty risk, which is mitigated by collateral policies but remains a complexity factor. There is no leverage or inverse exposure, and the risk profile is low (risk category 2 in PRIIPs KID, 2-3 in KIID). The derivatives are used as an inherent part of the investment strategy, not merely for risk management, so 'derivatives' is marked false only if used for risk management, but here they are part of exposure. The PRIIPs KID states 'You are about to purchase a product that is not simple and may be difficult to understand,' indicating complexity. No capital protection or structured features are present. Costs are straightforward with a low TER and no performance fees. The underlying assets are liquid US Treasury bonds, so underlying asset complexity is low. The main complexity driver is the use of synthetic elements (unfunded swaps) and counterparty risk exposure. Therefore, under MiFID II, this ETF is classified as complex despite its low risk profile and physical replication predominance because of the derivative usage and counterparty risk.",
    "risk_level_assessment": "The fund has a low risk rating (2 out of 7 in PRIIPs KID, 2-3 in KIID) reflecting low volatility and credit risk of US Treasuries. However, the presence of OTC derivatives and counterparty risk elevates the complexity classification under MiFID II, even though the risk profile remains low."
