While the primary replication method is physical, the use of derivatives for hedging and potential optimisation techniques involving FDIs for direct investment purposes adds layers of complexity. The underlying assets (emerging market bonds) include sub-investment grade and defaulted securities, which are inherently more complex and risky. The risk rating of 5 out of 7, along with extensive disclosures about counterparty risk, credit risk, and liquidity risk, further supports the classification as complex. The ETF's exposure to emerging markets, which are sensitive to economic and political conditions, adds another layer of complexity.",

The PRIIPs KID and factsheet reinforce the risks associated with counterparty exposure and the sophisticated nature of the hedging strategy."
