    "supporting_data": "The HSBC Global Funds ICAV - China Government Local Bond UCITS ETF is classified as non-complex under MiFID II for the following reasons: 1. Physical replication method: The fund invests directly in CNY-denominated government and policy bank bonds listed on the China Interbank Bond Market, with no mention of synthetic replication or swap agreements. 2. No leverage or inverse exposure: The fund does not employ any leverage or inverse strategies, and there are no references to amplified returns or gearing. 3. Straightforward investment strategy: The fund aims to track the Bloomberg China Treasury + Policy Bank Index (total return) through direct investment in the underlying bonds, with no complex structured products or capital protection mechanisms. 4. Minimal derivative usage: While the KIID mentions that the fund 'may invest in derivatives for hedging and efficient portfolio management purposes,' the monthly factsheet and PRIIPs KID do not indicate any actual derivative usage beyond what would be considered standard for efficient portfolio management. 5. Transparent risk profile: The fund's risk profile is clearly disclosed as category 3 (medium risk) with no significant counterparty or liquidity risks beyond those typical for bond investments. 6. UCITS compliance: The fund is UCITS-compliant, which inherently limits the use of complex strategies and derivatives. The only potential complexity factor is the fund's exposure to emerging market bonds, which is explicitly disclosed as a risk but does not trigger a complex classification under MiFID II.",
