    "supporting_data": "The Amundi UK Government Bond UCITS ETF USD Hedged Acc is a UCITS-compliant ETF tracking a transparent, well-documented government bond index (FTSE Actuaries UK Conventional Gilts All Stocks) via physical replication, primarily holding the underlying bonds. Derivatives are used only for currency hedging to reduce USD/GBP exchange rate risk, not as a core part of the investment strategy. The ETF does not use swaps, leverage beyond UCITS limits, inverse strategies, or complex structured products. The risks disclosed (market, credit, liquidity, counterparty, operational, hedging) are typical for bond ETFs and do not involve complex payoff structures, embedded options, or contingent liabilities. The structure, objective, and risks are straightforward and can be understood by retail investors with basic knowledge. Under MiFID II, UCITS ETFs are generally presumed non-complex unless they employ complex strategies or hold complex underlying assets, which is not the case here. The limited, non-strategic use of derivatives for hedging does not, under current regulatory practice, override the UCITS presumption of non-complexity, especially when the risks are well-disclosed and the product is transparent[1]. ESMA guidance confirms that UCITS are automatically non-complex unless they are structured UCITS with algorithm-based payoffs or similar complex features, which this ETF is not."
