    "supporting_data": "The asset is a UCITS ETF investing in USD denominated investment grade corporate bonds maturing in 2028, tracking the Bloomberg 2028 Maturity USD Corporate Bond Screened Index via physical replication using sampling techniques. The ETF uses derivatives only for risk management purposes such as currency hedging and efficient portfolio management, not as an inherent part of the investment strategy. There is no indication of synthetic replication or embedded derivatives. Securities lending is employed but managed within UCITS rules with collateral requirements, and leverage beyond UCITS limits is not used. The index tracked is transparent and straightforward, focusing on fixed-rate corporate bonds with ESG exclusions. The risk profile is moderate (risk category 3), reflecting market volatility but not structural complexity. According to MiFID II Article 25(4)(a)(iv) and Article 57 criteria, UCITS ETFs that do not embed derivatives as part of their strategy and use physical replication are presumed non-complex. The ETF does not embed complex features such as contingent convertible bonds, leverage, or structured products. Therefore, it meets the criteria for non-complex classification under MiFID II. This aligns with regulatory guidance that all UCITS are automatically non-complex unless they employ complex portfolio management techniques or invest in complex instruments, which is not the case here. The use of derivatives solely for hedging or risk management does not trigger complexity. Hence, no appropriateness assessment or comprehension alert is required for retail investors investing in this ETF."
