    "supporting_data": "The Vanguard USD Corporate 1-3 Year Bond UCITS ETF is classified as non-complex under MiFID II based on the following analysis: 1) It uses physical replication (not synthetic) as confirmed in both the KIID and factsheet ('physical acquisition of securities'). 2) The fund does not employ leverage, inverse strategies, or complex derivatives beyond what is typical for efficient portfolio management (e.g., no mention of swaps or unfunded structures). 3) The underlying assets are straightforward investment-grade corporate bonds with maturities of 1-3 years, which are liquid and transparent. 4) The risk profile is rated 3/7, indicating moderate risk, and the fund's objectives and risks are clearly disclosed. 5) The fund is UCITS-compliant, which inherently involves regulatory scrutiny for suitability for retail investors. 6) The factsheet confirms no material derivative usage beyond minor risk management purposes. While the fund may use derivatives for 'risk or cost reduction' (per KIID), this is standard for UCITS ETFs and does not trigger complexity under MiFID II unless the strategy is opaque or materially alters risk. The absence of leverage, inverse exposure, or complex structured features supports the non-complex classification.",
