    "supporting_data": "The Xtrackers USD High Yield Corporate Bond UCITS ETF (1C) is classified as non-complex under MiFID II based on the following analysis: 1. Replication Method: The factsheet explicitly states 'Direct Replication (physically)', confirming physical replication of the Bloomberg US High Yield Very Liquid Index ex 144A. 2. Derivative Usage: While the KIID mentions potential use of derivatives for risk management, the factsheet clarifies this is for efficient portfolio management (EPM) purposes only, not as part of the core strategy. 3. Leverage/Inverse: No leverage or inverse exposure is indicated in any document. 4. Underlying Assets: The fund invests in high-yield corporate bonds, which while higher risk, are not inherently complex assets. 5. Risk Profile: The risk rating is 5/7, but this reflects bond market volatility rather than structural complexity. 6. Counterparty Risk: Minimal, as physical replication eliminates swap counterparty risk. 7. Costs: Simple fee structure with no performance fees or complex cost arrangements. The only potential complexity factor is the high-yield bond exposure, but this does not meet MiFID II's complexity thresholds. The factsheet's physical replication confirmation overrides any derivative-related ambiguity in the KIID.",
