    "supporting_data": "The iShares US Aggregate Bond UCITS ETF is a UCITS-compliant, physically replicated ETF tracking a transparent, well-documented bond index (Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index). It uses derivatives only for efficient portfolio management (EPM), not as a core part of its investment strategy, and does not employ synthetic replication, leverage, swaps, or inverse strategies. The ETF's structure, risks, and performance are straightforward and easily understood by retail investors with basic knowledge. There are no embedded derivatives, complex indices, or contingent convertible bonds. Securities lending is present but is a secondary, well-managed feature within UCITS rules and does not dominate the risk profile. The ETF is listed, liquid, and provides comprehensive, publicly available information. All these factors align with the MiFID II presumption that UCITS ETFs are non-complex, provided they do not have features that make their structure, risks, or payoff difficult for retail investors to understand[1]. There is no evidence of complex features such as synthetic replication, significant derivative use beyond EPM, or opaque structures that would trigger a complex classification under Article 57 of the MiFID II Delegated Regulation."
