    "supporting_data": "The Vanguard ESG USD Corporate Bond UCITS ETF (GBP) Accumulating Hedged is classified as non-complex under MiFID II. While it uses derivatives for currency hedging and efficient portfolio management, these uses are standard practices in bond ETFs and do not create significant additional risk or complexity. The fund employs a physical replication method, which is a non-complex indicator. The ETF tracks a Bloomberg MSCI USD Corporate Float-Adjusted Liquid Bond Screened Index, which involves ESG screening but does not introduce complexity beyond standard index tracking. The fund's risk profile is rated 4, which is within the typical range for bond funds and does not indicate excessive complexity. The use of derivatives is limited to currency hedging and does not involve leverage, inverse strategies, or synthetic replication. The fund's investment strategy is straightforward, focusing on investment-grade corporate bonds with an ESG overlay. The PRIIPs KID and factsheet confirm that the fund uses physical replication and does not engage in complex derivative strategies. The fund's complexity factors are limited to ESG screening, currency hedging, and index sampling risk, which are common in bond ETFs and do not warrant a complex classification.",
