        "classification": "complex",
        "supporting_data": "The fund is a UCITS ETF, which initially presumes a non-complex classification. However, this presumption is overturned by several factors as per MiFID II rules and ESMA guidance. The Key Investor Information Document states that the Sub-Fund will actively invest primarily in 'emerging market local currency debt securities, using financial derivative instruments to gain exposure to underlying assets, where appropriate'. It further specifies that derivatives may be used 'for efficient portfolio management and investment purposes'. The use of derivatives for 'investment purposes' to 'gain exposure to underlying assets' goes beyond simple efficient portfolio management and makes derivatives integral to the fund's investment objective. This is a direct indicator of complexity under the provided rules. Additionally, the fund's risk profile explicitly lists 'Contingent convertible debt securities' as a material risk. These are inherently complex instruments that embed derivatives due to their specific trigger events and potential for conversion or write-down, making them difficult for retail investors to understand. The instruction explicitly states that if 'any element of Contingent Bonds or any Swap usage is identified then the classification must be complex'. Furthermore, the fund's investment in onshore debt securities through 'Bond Connect' introduces increased counterparty risk due to regulatory and operational constraints, which can be linked to derivative use and overall structural complexity. While the fund aims to hold debt securities (implying physical holdings), the active management and the explicit use of FDIs for 'investment purposes' (to gain exposure) and the potential holding of complex bonds like CoCos drive the complex classification. The ESMA guidance (CESR/09-295) classifies debt instruments that embed a derivative (like convertible bonds or participaciones preferentes, which are similar to CoCos) as always complex. The ESMA supervisory briefing (ESMA35-36-1640) also highlights that firms should assess whether debt instruments embed a derivative or incorporate a structure making it difficult for the client to understand the risk, even within a UCITS."
