    "supporting_data": "The ETF is classified as non-complex under MiFID II for the following reasons:1. **Physical Replication**: The fund uses physical replication (as confirmed in the fact sheet) and does not rely on synthetic replication or swaps. The KIID states the fund aims to invest in the fixed income securities that make up the index, with optimisation techniques that may include strategic selection of securities but not derivatives for replication.2. **No Leverage or Inverse Exposure**: There is no mention of leverage, inverse exposure, or amplified returns in the documentation. The fund's objective is to track the performance of the index through direct investment in corporate bonds.3. **Underlying Asset Simplicity**: The fund invests in US dollar-denominated investment-grade corporate bonds with a short duration (0-5 years). The underlying assets are liquid, transparent, and easily understandable for retail investors.4. **Risk Profile**: The fund is rated as risk level 3 (moderate risk) in the KIID, which aligns with its investment in investment-grade corporate bonds. The risks disclosed (credit risk, liquidity risk, and counterparty risk) are typical for bond funds and do not indicate complexity.5. **Derivative Usage**: The KIID mentions the limited use of financial derivative instruments (FDIs) for direct investment purposes, but this is not a primary strategy. The fact sheet confirms the product structure is 'physical,' and the derivatives usage is minimal and not a core part of the fund's strategy.6. **No Capital Protection or Structured Features**: There are no capital guarantees, principal protection features, or structured return formulas mentioned in the documentation.7. **Transparency and Liquidity**: The fund is listed on multiple exchanges, and the indicative net asset value is published, ensuring liquidity and transparency for investors.8. **No Complexity Flags**: There are no warnings about the fund being unsuitable for retail investors or requiring specific investment knowledge. The risk disclosures are clear and typical for a bond fund.The only potential complexity factor is the mention of FDIs in the KIID, but this is not sufficient to classify the fund as complex, as the usage is limited and not a core part of the strategy. The fact sheet further clarifies that the product structure is physical, reinforcing the non-complex classification.",
