    "supporting_data": "This UCITS ETF is passively managed and tracks the Bloomberg US Liquid Corporatesu2122 Index (Total Return) using a stratified sampling approach, primarily investing in a representative sample of the index components. The ETF may use derivatives for efficient portfolio management (EPM), specifically for currency hedging to reduce the impact of currency fluctuations between the reference currency (USD) and the share class currency (EUR), and for portfolio optimization. The use of derivatives is disclosed as a risk factor but is not central to the investment objectiveu2014the ETF's return depends mainly on the performance of the tracked index. There is no securities lending, no significant leverage beyond UCITS limits, no embedded derivatives, and the underlying index is a transparent, well-documented corporate bond index. The structure, risks (market, credit, interest rate, currency), and objectives are straightforward and consistent with typical UCITS ETFs. Under MiFID II, UCITS are generally presumed non-complex, and this ETF does not exhibit features that would override that presumption (e.g., synthetic replication, significant leverage, complex payout structures, or opaque indices)[1]. The derivative use is limited to EPM and hedging, which is common in UCITS ETFs and, when properly disclosed and managed, does not automatically trigger a complex classification under MiFID II Article 57, provided the risks are transparent and the structure remains easy for retail investors to understand[1]. The ETF's risk category (5/7) reflects market volatility of corporate bonds, not structural complexity. Therefore, based on the available information, this UCITS ETF is classified as non-complex under MiFID II."
