    "supporting_data": "The asset is a UCITS ETF investing primarily in bonds issued by Multilateral Development Banks, tracking the Solactive Global Multilateral Development Bank Bond USD 25% Issuer Capped Index. It uses derivatives only to achieve efficient portfolio management (EPM), such as to replicate index exposure when direct investment is impractical, with counterparty risk mitigated by a collateral policy. The ETF does not engage in securities lending or significant leverage. The replication method is physical or a combination of physical and derivatives for EPM, but derivatives are not integral to the investment objective. The structure and risks (market volatility, credit risk of bonds) are straightforward and understandable by retail investors with basic knowledge. The ETF does not embed complex derivatives or structured products such as CLOs. According to MiFID II Article 25(4)(a)(iv) and Article 57 criteria, UCITS ETFs are generally presumed non-complex unless they embed derivatives integral to the strategy or have complex features. The use of derivatives here is limited to EPM with minimal impact on risk-return profile, consistent with non-complex classification. ESMA and CESR guidance confirm that UCITS ETFs with physical replication and limited derivative use for EPM are non-complex. Therefore, this ETF is classified as non-complex under MiFID II appropriateness rules."
