    "supporting_data": "The UBS (Lux) Fund Solutions - Bloomberg US 1-3 Year Treasury Bond UCITS ETF is a UCITS-compliant ETF that primarily invests in bonds of the Bloomberg US 1-3 Year Treasury Bondu2122 hedged to EUR Index (Total Return). It uses derivatives only for efficient portfolio management purposes, such as currency forwards for hedging currency risk, and possibly to replicate the index when direct investment is impracticable. The use of OTC derivatives introduces counterparty risk, but this risk is mitigated by a strict collateral policy. The ETF does not engage in securities lending or significant leverage. The replication method is physical or optimized physical, holding substantially all component securities. The index tracked is transparent and well-documented. The structure and risks (market volatility, tracking error, currency risk) are straightforward and understandable by retail investors with basic knowledge. There are no embedded derivatives or complex features such as contingent convertible bonds or structured products. According to MiFID II Article 254 and Delegated Regulation EU 2017/565 Article 57, and ESMA guidelines, such an ETF is presumed non-complex. The presence of derivatives used solely for efficient portfolio management with collateralization does not automatically trigger complexity. Therefore, this ETF is classified as non-complex under MiFID II appropriateness rules."
