    "supporting_data": "The iShares Italy Govt Bond UCITS ETF uses physical replication but employs financial derivative instruments (FDIs) for currency hedging purposes, including FX forward contracts. While the primary strategy is direct investment in Italian government bonds, the use of derivatives for hedging introduces counterparty risk and additional complexity. The KIID explicitly mentions counterparty risk related to derivatives, which is a key complexity indicator under MiFID II. Additionally, the fund's risk profile (rated 4) and the presence of derivative-related risks contribute to the classification. Although the derivatives are used for hedging rather than leverage or amplification, their use still introduces elements that may not be easily understood by retail investors, particularly the counterparty risk associated with FX forwards.",
    "confidence": 85,
    "counter_argument": "The fund primarily uses physical replication and the derivatives are employed for hedging purposes, which is generally considered non-complex under MiFID II. The underlying assets are straightforward government bonds, and the fund does not use leverage or inverse strategies.",
    "override_reason": "The explicit mention of counterparty risk from derivatives and the use of FX forwards for hedging, which introduces additional risk factors not present in purely physical replication strategies, tips the balance toward a 'complex' classification. The presence of these risks, even if used for hedging, requires a higher level of investor understanding."
