    "supporting_data": "The SPDR FTSE Global Convertible 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 through stratified sampling to track the FTSE Qualified Global Convertible Index, which is a straightforward index-tracking strategy. 2. While the fund may use financial derivative instruments for currency hedging and efficient portfolio management, these are not used for leverage or to create complex payoff structures. 3. The underlying assets are convertible bonds, which, while complex in structure, are standard financial instruments with clear risk profiles. 4. The fund has a clear risk profile (category 5) and provides comprehensive risk disclosures, making it understandable for retail investors. 5. The fund is UCITS compliant, which imposes strict regulatory requirements ensuring transparency and investor protection. 6. There is no mention of leverage, inverse strategies, or complex structured products in the fund's documentation. Counterarguments could be made regarding the complexity of convertible bonds, which combine features of both equity and debt securities. However, these are standard financial instruments with well-understood risk profiles, and the fund's use of them is straightforward and transparent. The fund's documentation clearly explains the risks associated with convertible bonds, and the fund's overall structure and strategy are designed to be accessible to retail investors.",
