    "supporting_data": "The Vanguard USD Treasury Bond UCITS ETF is classified as non-complex under MiFID II based on the following analysis: 1. Replication Method: The fund uses physical replication ('through physical acquisition of securities') to track the Bloomberg Global Aggregate US Treasury Float Adjusted Index, which is a straightforward bond index. 2. Derivative Usage: While the KIID mentions the fund 'may use derivatives' for risk reduction or cost management, the factsheet confirms this is limited to 'cash management or risk management purposes' and does not involve swaps or synthetic replication. 3. Leverage/Inverse: No leverage or inverse exposure is mentioned in any document. 4. Underlying Assets: The fund invests in US Treasury bonds (99.8%), which are highly liquid and transparent. 5. Risk Profile: The SRRI is 4 (moderate risk), and the fund's risks are clearly disclosed (interest rate, credit, liquidity). 6. Complexity Indicators: No capital protection, structured products, or complex indices are involved. The factsheet confirms the fund holds 292 bonds with an average duration of 5.7 years, matching the index's characteristics. 7. UCITS Compliance: The fund is UCITS-compliant, which inherently limits complexity. The only potential complexity factor is the mention of derivatives in the KIID, but the factsheet clarifies this is for EPM (efficient portfolio management) and does not involve swaps or synthetic replication. The fund's physical replication, transparent underlying assets, and lack of leverage or inverse strategies make it suitable for retail investors.",
