    "supporting_data": "The L&G Corporate Bond ex-Banks Higher Ratings 0-2Y UCITS ETF is classified as non-complex under MiFID II based on the following analysis: 1. Replication Method: The fund uses physical replication (optimised sampling) as confirmed in both the KIID and fact sheet, with no mention of synthetic replication or swap agreements. 2. Derivative Usage: While the KIID mentions the possibility of using financial derivative instruments (FDIs), these are limited to 'investments the prices of which are based on the bonds contained in the Index and/or such Index' - this appears to be for efficient portfolio management rather than core strategy. The fact sheet confirms no swap usage. 3. Leverage: No leverage or inverse exposure is mentioned in any document. 4. Underlying Assets: The fund invests in highly rated corporate bonds with short duration, which are liquid and transparent. 5. Risk Profile: The fund is rated 3/7 on the risk scale, which is moderate and typical for bond ETFs. 6. Complexity Indicators: No complexity flags are present - no capital protection, no structured products, and no complex indices. 7. UCITS Compliance: The fund is UCITS-compliant, which inherently limits complexity. The fact that this is a straightforward bond ETF tracking a transparent index with physical replication and no leverage makes it clearly non-complex under MiFID II.",
