    "supporting_data": "The HSBC Global Aggregate Bond UCITS ETF is classified as non-complex under MiFID II regulations. The primary reasons for this classification are: 1) The fund uses physical replication to track the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Bond Index, investing directly in the underlying bonds; 2) While the fund may use derivatives, they are explicitly stated to be for hedging and efficient portfolio management purposes only, not for leverage or complex strategies; 3) The fund's risk profile is relatively straightforward and understandable, with a risk rating of 3 out of 7; 4) The fund does not employ leverage or inverse strategies; 5) The underlying assets are primarily investment-grade bonds from developed and emerging markets, which are generally considered understandable by retail investors; 6) The fund is UCITS compliant, which imposes additional investor protection requirements. The mention of total return swaps (up to 30%) could potentially raise complexity concerns, but since the documentation states this exposure is not expected to exceed 0% and is clearly for portfolio management purposes rather than as a core strategy, it does not trigger complexity under MiFID II. The fund's optimization technique is a common practice in bond ETFs to minimize tracking error and does not introduce significant complexity.",
