        "supporting_data": "The Xtrackers II Global Inflation-Linked Bond UCITS ETF aims to reflect the performance of the Bloomberg World Government Inflation-Linked Bond Index. It mentions using derivatives to 'minimise foreign currency fluctuations' at the share class level, which is for efficient portfolio management (EPM). The primary replication method appears to be physical, as it states it will 'buy a portfolio of securities that may comprise the constituents of the index'. The index itself tracks inflation-linked tradable debt issued by governments, which is generally considered a straightforward asset class. The ETF's objective and structure, as described, do not appear to involve complex derivatives integral to the strategy or other complex features that would inherently make it difficult for a retail investor to understand. The mention of derivatives for currency hedging, when limited to EPM, is generally permissible for UCITS ETFs without automatically triggering a complex classification. The risk profile is rated category 4, indicating a relatively high likelihood of losses and gains, but this is attributed to market volatility and tracking error rather than structural complexity. The KID clearly states that it is passively managed and tracks a government inflation-linked bond index. The use of derivatives is explicitly for currency hedging, which falls under EPM. There is no indication of synthetic replication, embedded derivatives, or other advanced financial structures that would make the product complex for a retail investor with basic financial knowledge. Therefore, based on the provided information and the MiFID II framework, the ETF is classified as non-complex.",
