    "supporting_data": "The ETF uses indirect (synthetic) replication by entering into an over-the-counter swap contract to achieve its investment objective, exchanging the performance of a diversified portfolio of international debt securities against the benchmark index. The benchmark itself involves a long position in TIPS and a short position in nominal Treasury bonds, creating a complex long/short exposure. The fund employs a monthly EUR currency hedging strategy using derivatives. The KIID and PRIIPs documents explicitly mention counterparty risk related to the swap counterparty and derivative instruments. The fund is UCITS compliant but the synthetic replication and swap usage are key complexity drivers under MiFID II. There is no leverage or inverse exposure, and the risk rating is moderate (3/7), but the presence of swaps and derivative counterparty risk mandates classification as complex. The underlying assets are liquid sovereign bonds, but the long/short inflation breakeven strategy and synthetic replication add complexity beyond straightforward physical replication. No capital protection or structured features are present. Costs are straightforward with no performance fees, but swap-related costs are implicit in the replication method. The PRIIPs KID does not carry a specific comprehension warning but confirms the need for investors to have good knowledge and experience, consistent with complexity. Overall, the synthetic replication via swaps and counterparty risk are the main factors driving the complex classification despite a moderate risk profile and UCITS status."
