        "supporting_data": "The iShares J.P. Morgan $ EM Bond UCITS ETF GBP Hedged (Dist) Share Class is a UCITS ETF, which generally provides a baseline presumption of being non-complex. It aims to replicate the J.P. Morgan EMBI Global Core Index, which measures the performance of US Dollar denominated fixed income securities in emerging market countries. The KIID states the fund aims to invest in fixed income securities that make up the Index. While emerging markets and sub-investment grade securities inherently carry higher risk, this relates to market risk rather than structural complexity. The fund also uses currency hedging with financial derivative instruments (FDIs), specifically FX forward contracts, to mitigate currency risk for Sterling denominated investors. However, the use of derivatives for efficient portfolio management (currency hedging) in a limited and disclosed manner, and as a strategy to mitigate risk rather than as a core part of the investment objective, generally aligns with a non-complex classification for UCITS ETFs, provided these instruments do not introduce undue complexity or counterparty risk that would be difficult for a retail investor to understand. The fact that it tracks a recognized index and invests in underlying fixed income securities (even if those securities are in emerging markets or have sub-investment grade ratings) does not automatically render it complex under MiFID II. The primary indicator for complexity related to derivatives would be if they were integral to achieving the investment objective or if they introduced significant, difficult-to-understand risks. Here, the hedging is a clear, stated risk management tool. There is no indication of synthetic replication, embedded derivatives, or leveraged structures that would typically lead to a complex classification."
