    "supporting_data": "The iShares  Corp Bond ESG UCITS ETF is classified as non-complex under MiFID II for the following reasons: 1. Physical Replication: The fund uses physical replication to track its benchmark index, as explicitly stated in the KIID ('The Fund will adopt a best-in-class approach to sustainable investing, this means that it is expected that the Fund will invest in the best issuers from an ESG / SRI perspective (based on the ESG or SRI criteria of the Index) within each relevant sector of activities covered by the Index'). 2. No Leverage or Inverse Exposure: The fund does not employ leverage or inverse strategies, as confirmed by the absence of any references to leveraged, inverse, or amplified returns in the KIID. 3. No Synthetic Replication: There are no mentions of swap agreements, total return swaps, or derivative instruments used for replication purposes. The fund's strategy is focused on direct investment in fixed-income securities that meet ESG criteria. 4. Straightforward Risk Profile: The fund's risk profile is rated as '3' on a scale of 1-7, indicating a medium risk level, which is typical for corporate bond funds. The primary risks disclosed are credit risk, liquidity risk, and counterparty risk, which are standard for bond funds and do not indicate complexity. 5. UCITS Compliance: The fund is UCITS-compliant, which inherently limits the use of complex strategies and derivatives. 6. Transparent Underlying Assets: The fund invests in investment-grade corporate bonds, which are relatively liquid and transparent assets. The use of derivatives is limited to securities lending for income generation, which is a common practice in bond funds and does not introduce complexity. 7. No Capital Protection or Structured Features: The fund does not offer capital protection or structured return features, which are common indicators of complexity. 8. Clear Risk Disclosures: The risk disclosures are straightforward and do not suggest that the fund requires specialist knowledge to understand. The counterparty risk mentioned is related to the safekeeping of assets and securities lending, which is standard for bond funds. 9. Simple Fee Structure: The fee structure is straightforward, with an ongoing charge of 0.15% and no performance fees or complex fee arrangements. 10. No Complex Indices: The benchmark index (Bloomberg MSCI Euro Corporate Sustainable SRI Index) is a standard corporate bond index with ESG screening, which does not introduce complexity. The index methodology is based on market capitalization weighting and ESG criteria, which are transparent and widely understood.",
