    "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 ETF uses physical replication through a stratified sampling strategy to track the FTSE Qualified Global Convertible Index, which is a straightforward index-tracking objective. 2. While the ETF holds convertible bonds, which are inherently complex instruments, the fund itself does not employ leverage, inverse strategies, or synthetic replication. 3. The use of derivatives is limited to currency hedging and efficient portfolio management, not as a core investment strategy. 4. The ETF is UCITS-compliant, which imposes strict regulatory requirements ensuring transparency and investor protection. 5. The risk profile (category 5) is primarily driven by the underlying convertible bonds' characteristics rather than complex fund structures. 6. The KIID and factsheet do not indicate the use of swaps, leverage, or other complex financial instruments beyond what is necessary for standard ETF operations. Counterarguments could be made regarding the complexity of convertible bonds themselves; however, the fund's structure and operations are designed to be transparent and suitable for retail investors. The convertible bond market exposure is clearly disclosed, and the fund's operations remain within standard UCITS ETF parameters.",
