    "supporting_data": "This UCITS ETF is physically replicated, tracking a transparent, diversified index of investment-grade bonds with ESG/SRI criteria. The use of derivatives is limited to currency hedging (FX forwards) to reduce exchange rate risk between the fund's base currency (USD) and the share class currency (GBP), and for efficient portfolio management. There is no evidence of synthetic replication, swaps, leverage beyond UCITS limits, or embedded complex structures. Securities lending is conducted within UCITS rules, with collateralization, and is a secondary feature. The ETF does not hold contingent convertible bonds, complex indices, or structured products like CLOs. The risk profile reflects market and credit risk, not structural complexity. All features are consistent with UCITS regulation and the ETF's structure, risks, and objectives are transparent and readily understandable for retail investors with basic knowledge. Therefore, despite limited derivative use for hedging, the ETF does not incorporate features that would make it 'complex' under MiFID II Article 57 or the structured UCITS exception[1][2]. The presence of counterparty risk from derivatives and securities lending does not, in this case, override the UCITS presumption of non-complexity, as these are ancillary, well-disclosed, and within regulatory limits."
