        "supporting_data": "The Invesco AT1 Capital Bond UCITS ETF invests in USD-denominated contingent convertible bonds issued by banks from developed countries. The primary driver for classifying this ETF as complex under MiFID II is its underlying asset class: Contingent Convertible Bonds (AT1 Bonds). These bonds carry specific risks, such as potential conversion into equity or principal write-downs upon the occurrence of a pre-determined event, as well as liquidity and default risk. The KIID explicitly lists 'Contingent Convertible Bonds Risk' and states that 'This fund invests in contingent convertible bonds, a type of corporate debt security that may be converted into equity or forced to suffer a write down of principal upon the occurrence of a pre-determined event. If this occurs, the Fund could suffer losses.' MiFID II and related guidance (such as CESR's technical advice) generally deem instruments with features that make their structure, risks, or payoff difficult for retail investors to understand as complex. The inherent complexity and specific risks associated with AT1 bonds, including the trigger events for conversion or write-downs, make them difficult for an average retail investor to fully comprehend, even if the ETF itself uses physical replication and does not directly use derivatives as part of its replication strategy. The KIID also notes that securities comprising the Index must be rated by credit rating agencies, but there is no minimum rating requirement, which can contribute to a higher risk profile. While the ETF aims to hold the securities in the index, the nature of those securities (AT1 bonds) is the determining factor for complexity in this instance."
