    "supporting_data": "The iShares $ High Yield Corp Bond ESG UCITS ETF is classified as non-complex under MiFID II for the following reasons: 1. Physical replication method: The fund uses physical replication to track its benchmark index, as explicitly stated in the fact sheet ('Product Structure: Physical'). 2. No leverage or inverse exposure: There is no mention of leverage, inverse strategies, or amplified returns in the documentation. 3. Minimal derivative usage: While the KIID mentions the potential use of financial derivative instruments (FDIs) for direct investment purposes, the fact sheet confirms the fund uses physical replication. The derivative usage appears to be limited to efficient portfolio management rather than a core strategy. 4. Straightforward investment objective: The fund aims to track a high-yield corporate bond index with ESG screening, which is a transparent and easily understandable strategy. 5. Risk profile: The fund's risk rating is 4 out of 7, which is within the typical range for high-yield bond funds and does not indicate complexity. 6. UCITS compliance: The fund is UCITS-compliant, which inherently imposes certain transparency and liquidity requirements that align with non-complex classifications. The absence of complex factors like capital protection mechanisms, contingent convertible bonds, or structured products further supports this classification.",
