    "classification": "non-complex",
    "supporting_data": "The ETF is a UCITS-compliant, physically replicated fund tracking a transparent, straightforward US Treasury bond index. Derivatives (FX forwards) are used solely for currency hedging to reduce exchange rate risk between the fund's base currency (USD) and the share class currency (EUR), not for index replication or to alter the risk-return profile. There is no significant leverage, no embedded derivatives, no complex indices, and no contingent convertible bonds or swaps used for index replication. Securities lending is present but is a secondary activity, well within UCITS limits, and does not dominate the risk profile. The index is transparent and the structure is easily understood by retail investors. The risks are standard for fixed income (interest rate, credit, liquidity) and are clearly disclosed. The use of derivatives for hedging does not, in this case, introduce material counterparty or complexity risk that would make the product difficult for a retail investor with basic knowledge to understand. Therefore, the ETF meets the criteria for a non-complex instrument under MiFID II Article 25(4) and the general UCITS presumption[1]. No comprehension alert is required."
