    "supporting_data": "This UCITS ETF is physically replicated, primarily investing in fixed income securities that make up its benchmark index. It uses FX forward contracts to hedge currency risk, which is a standard and limited use of derivatives for efficient portfolio management (EPM) under UCITS rules. The ETF may also use financial derivative instruments (FDIs) for direct investment purposes, but there is no evidence these are central to the investment strategy or introduce significant counterparty or collateral risk. Securities lending is conducted, but within UCITS limits and with appropriate collateral, not materially increasing complexity. The structure, risks, and objectives are transparent and typical for a passive, diversified bond ETF. No embedded derivatives, significant leverage, or complex indices are present. The ETF's UCITS status and physical replication support a non-complex classification, as the derivative use is ancillary and well-disclosed, not altering the fundamental risk-return profile in a way that would make the product difficult for a retail investor with basic knowledge to understand[1]. ESMA guidance confirms that UCITS are generally non-complex, and only structured UCITS (those with algorithm-based payoffs or similar complex features) are excluded from this presumptionu2014this ETF does not appear to meet that threshold[2]. Therefore, despite some derivative use, the ETF remains non-complex under MiFID II."
