    "supporting_data": "The iShares Global High Yield Corp Bond UCITS ETF is classified as non-complex under MiFID II for the following reasons: 1. Physical replication is used as the primary replication method, with the fund investing directly in high-yield corporate bonds. 2. While derivatives (specifically FX forward contracts) are used for currency hedging, this is a common and transparent practice in UCITS-compliant ETFs and does not introduce significant complexity. 3. There is no leverage, inverse exposure, or synthetic replication involving swaps. 4. The underlying index (Markit iBoxx Global Developed Markets Liquid High Yield Capped Index) is a standard, transparent high-yield bond index. 5. The risk profile is clearly communicated as medium risk, and the fund's strategy is straightforward: tracking a high-yield bond index with currency hedging. 6. The fund is UCITS-compliant, which inherently limits complexity in derivative usage. The use of derivatives for hedging purposes is standard in UCITS ETFs and does not trigger complexity under MiFID II, as long as it does not materially alter the risk profile or require specialist knowledge to understand. The fund's primary complexity factors are the high-yield bond exposure and currency hedging, but these are typical for bond ETFs and do not meet MiFID II's criteria for complexity.",
