    "supporting_data": "The ETF is a UCITS-compliant, physically replicated fund tracking a transparent, diversified index of emerging market sovereign and quasi-sovereign bonds. It uses derivatives (FX forwards) solely for currency hedging to reduce exchange rate risk between the fund's base currency (USD) and the share class currency (EUR), not as a core part of the investment strategy. Securities lending is employed to generate additional income, but is managed within UCITS rules and does not dominate the risk profile. The fund does not use leverage beyond UCITS limits, does not embed complex derivatives (e.g., swaps, options, or structured products), and does not track a complex or opaque index. The risks disclosed (credit, interest rate, liquidity, emerging market, and counterparty) are typical for fixed income ETFs and do not introduce structural complexity beyond what is standard for the asset class. The fund's structure, objectives, and risks are transparent and described in a manner intended to be understandable for retail investors with basic knowledge. Under MiFID II, UCITS ETFs are generally presumed non-complex unless they employ complex portfolio management techniques or structured features that make the product difficult to understandu2014neither of which applies here, as derivative use is limited to hedging and securities lending is a secondary, well-managed feature[1][2]. The fund does not hold contingent convertible bonds, complex indices, or other instruments that would trigger a complex classification. Therefore, despite the use of derivatives for hedging and the presence of securities lending, the ETF remains non-complex under MiFID II rules[1][2]."
