    "supporting_data": "The ETF uses synthetic replication via total return swaps (TRS) to track the STOXX Europe 50 Index, which introduces counterparty risk and derivative exposure. The KIID explicitly mentions 'swap-based replication of the Index' and highlights counterparty risk as a key risk factor. While the ETF does not employ leverage or inverse strategies, the use of swaps for replication rather than physical holdings qualifies it as complex under MiFID II. The factsheet confirms the synthetic replication method and the presence of counterparty risk, reinforcing the complexity classification. The risk profile is primarily driven by market risk, but the derivative structure adds an additional layer of complexity that may not be easily understood by retail investors.",
    "confidence": 90,
    "counter_argument": "Some may argue that synthetic replication is a common and well-understood method in ETFs, and the counterparty risk is mitigated by UCITS regulations. However, MiFID II explicitly considers synthetic replication via swaps as a complexity factor due to the additional risks and the need for investors to understand the mechanics of swaps and counterparty exposure.",
    "risk_level": "The risk category is primarily reflective of market risk associated with European equities, but the synthetic structure introduces additional counterparty risk, which is a key complexity indicator under MiFID II."
