    "supporting_data": "The Amundi US Treasury Bond 1-3Y UCITS ETF GBP Hedged Dist is a UCITS-compliant ETF that tracks the Bloomberg Barclays US Treasury 1-3 Year Index via physical replication, primarily investing in the underlying securities or using sampling replication. It uses derivatives only for currency hedging purposes (daily GBP hedging strategy) and not as an integral part of the investment objective or synthetic replication. The ETF does not employ leverage beyond UCITS limits, nor does it embed derivatives or structured products that would introduce complexity. The underlying index is transparent and straightforward, consisting of short-term US Treasury bonds. Securities lending is not mentioned as a significant feature, and the risk profile reflects market risk typical of bond ETFs. According to MiFID II Article 25(4)(a)(iv) and Article 57 of the Commission Delegated Regulation, UCITS ETFs using physical replication and limited derivative use for hedging are presumed non-complex. The ETF meets all criteria for non-complex classification: no embedded derivatives, no leverage, transparent index, and straightforward structure understandable by retail investors with basic knowledge. Therefore, no appropriateness assessment is required for execution-only sales, and no comprehension alert is mandated."
