    "supporting_data": "The Vanguard ESG Global Corporate Bond UCITS ETF is classified as non-complex under MiFID II for the following reasons: 1. Physical replication: The fund uses physical acquisition of securities to track its benchmark, as explicitly stated in the KIID ('through physical acquisition of securities'). 2. Minimal derivative usage: While the KIID mentions potential derivative usage for risk reduction or cost efficiency, there is no evidence of extensive or complex derivative strategies. The fact sheet confirms the fund holds 5,133 bonds, with no mention of swap exposure or synthetic replication. 3. Straightforward structure: The fund tracks a corporate bond index with ESG screens, which is a common and transparent strategy. 4. Risk profile: The SRRI rating of 4 is moderate and typical for bond funds. 5. UCITS compliance: The fund is UCITS-compliant, which inherently involves regulatory scrutiny for complexity. The only potential complexity factor is the currency hedging, but this is standard practice in bond ETFs and doesn't trigger complexity classification. The fact that the PRIIPs KID is directed at professional investors doesn't automatically indicate complexity, as this is common for bond funds due to their inherent complexity for retail investors.",
