    "supporting_data": "The Amundi US Treasury Bond 7-10Y UCITS ETF GBP Hedged Dist is a UCITS-compliant ETF that tracks the Bloomberg Barclays US Treasury 7-10 Year Index via physical replication, primarily investing in the underlying securities of the index. It uses a sampling replication strategy, which is a recognized physical replication method. The ETF employs derivatives only for currency hedging purposes (daily GBP hedging strategy) to reduce currency risk, which is considered efficient portfolio management (EPM) and does not constitute integral use of derivatives to achieve the investment objective. There is no indication of embedded derivatives, leverage beyond UCITS limits, or complex structured products such as CLOs or synthetic replication. The underlying index is transparent and well-documented, consisting of US Treasury bonds with maturities between 7 and 10 years, which are straightforward fixed income instruments. The ETF's risk profile mainly reflects market risk and credit risk typical of government bonds, without structural complexity. Securities lending or other complex features are not mentioned. According to MiFID II Article 254 and Delegated Regulation EU 2017/565 Article 57, UCITS ETFs using physical replication and limited derivatives for EPM with transparent underlying indices are presumed non-complex. ESMA guidance confirms that synthetic ETFs or those investing in structured products or derivatives integral to the strategy are complex, which does not apply here. Therefore, this ETF meets all criteria for non-complex classification under MiFID II. This aligns with Janus Henderson's statement that all UCITS funds are automatically non-complex unless specific complex features are present. No comprehension alert is required in the KID for this ETF."
