    "supporting_data": "The ETF uses physical replication to track the FTSE Emerging Index NR, holding all or a representative sample of the index securities. Derivatives are only used for hedging and efficient portfolio management, not as a core part of the investment strategy. The fund has a straightforward objective of tracking emerging market equities, with no leverage, inverse exposure, or complex underlying assets. The risk profile is clearly disclosed, and the fund is UCITS-compliant, which imposes additional investor protection requirements. The KIID and factsheet provide transparent information about the fund's strategy, risks, and costs, making it suitable for retail investors with basic investment knowledge.",
    "confidence": 95,
    "risk_level": 5,
    "counter_argument": "While the fund uses derivatives for hedging, this is a common practice in UCITS ETFs and is explicitly permitted under MiFID II for efficient portfolio management (EPM). The derivatives are not used to create leverage or amplify returns, nor do they introduce significant additional risks beyond those inherent in the underlying equities. The fund's physical replication method and clear tracking objective further support its non-complex classification.",
    "final_assessment": "The Franklin FTSE Emerging Markets UCITS ETF is classified as non-complex under MiFID II due to its physical replication strategy, straightforward investment objective, and limited use of derivatives solely for hedging and efficient portfolio management. The fund's transparency, liquidity, and UCITS compliance align with the criteria for non-complex instruments."
