    "supporting_data": "The ETF is a UCITS-compliant physical replication ETF that tracks the Bloomberg Emerging Markets USD Sovereign & Agency 3% Country Capped Index using a stratified sampling approach. The fund achieves currency hedging via the sale of one-month forward foreign exchange contracts, which are derivatives but used solely for currency risk management, not for investment exposure. The KIID and PRIIPs documents confirm the use of derivatives for hedging and portfolio optimization but not for leverage or synthetic replication. However, the fund invests predominantly in emerging market sovereign bonds, which carry higher credit risk, liquidity risk, and complexity due to the nature of the underlying assets. The fund does not use leverage or inverse strategies, and no capital protection or structured features are present. The risk profile is medium-high (risk level 5 in KIID, 3 in PRIIPs), reflecting the underlying emerging market bond risks rather than derivative complexity. The presence of currency forwards and the complexity of the underlying emerging market sovereign bonds (including illiquidity and credit risk) contribute to the MiFID II classification as complex. Although derivatives are used only for hedging, the use of currency forwards and the complexity of the underlying assets mean the fund is not straightforward for retail investors to fully understand. There is no mention of swap agreements or total return swaps for synthetic replication, but currency forwards are derivatives and counterparty risk is implied. The fund does not engage in securities lending or performance fees, and ongoing charges are low (0.28%). The complexity arises mainly from the underlying asset class and the use of derivatives for currency hedging, not from leverage or synthetic replication.",
