    "supporting_data": "The ETF tracks a bond index composed mainly of Multilateral Development Bank bonds with ESG enhancements. The KIID and PRIIPs KID explicitly state that the fund achieves exposure either through direct investment or derivatives, including OTC derivatives, to gain efficiencies or when direct replication is impractical. The use of OTC derivatives introduces counterparty risk, although mitigated by collateral policies. The replication method is synthetic, not purely physical, as derivatives are an inherent part of the strategy rather than solely for risk management. There is no leverage or inverse exposure. The risk profile in the KIID is moderate (category 3-5 depending on document), but the PRIIPs KID warns the product is 'not simple and may be difficult to understand,' indicating complexity. No capital protection or structured features are present. Costs are straightforward with no performance fees, but derivative trading costs and counterparty risk are disclosed. The index tracked is complex due to issuer caps and ESG criteria, which may add to the difficulty in understanding the product. Therefore, under MiFID II, the presence of synthetic replication via OTC derivatives and counterparty risk mandates classification as complex, despite moderate risk and no leverage.",
    "risk_level_assessment": "The KIID risk category is 3 (moderate) and PRIIPs KID risk indicator is 2 (low), reflecting moderate volatility and credit risk typical of bond funds. However, the complexity arises from the synthetic replication and counterparty risk rather than from high volatility or leverage. This aligns with MiFID II's approach where complexity is driven by structural and operational features rather than just risk level."
