    "supporting_data": "The ETF is a UCITS-compliant, physically replicated fund tracking a transparent, investment-grade corporate bond index. It uses US Treasury bond futures solely for interest rate hedging, not for synthetic replication or leverage. Derivatives are not central to the investment objective but are used for efficient portfolio management (EPM) to mitigate interest rate risk. The structure, risks (market, credit, liquidity), and replication method are straightforward and disclosed. There is no significant leverage, no embedded derivatives, and no complex features that would make the product difficult for a retail investor with basic knowledge to understand. The ETFu2019s use of derivatives for hedging does not, in this case, trigger complexity under MiFID II Article 57, as the derivatives are limited, well-disclosed, and do not dominate the risk-return profile. The productu2019s transparency, liquidity, and regulatory framework support a non-complex classification, consistent with the UCITS presumption and ESMA/CESR guidance on derivative use in UCITS ETFs[1][2]."
