    "supporting_data": "The HSBC MSCI Japan UCITS ETF is classified as non-complex under MiFID II regulations. The primary replication method is physical, with direct investment in the underlying securities of the MSCI Japan Index. While the KIID mentions the potential use of derivatives (up to 10% in total return swaps and contracts for difference), this is explicitly stated to be for efficient portfolio management purposes rather than as a core strategy. The fund's risk profile (category 6) is high due to market volatility rather than structural complexity. The use of derivatives is limited and not a primary driver of returns, and the fund does not employ leverage or inverse strategies. The underlying assets are liquid Japanese equities, and the fund is UCITS-compliant, which imposes additional investor protection and transparency requirements. The PRIIPs KID and factsheet do not indicate any comprehension warnings or additional complexity factors beyond standard market risks.",
    "confidence": 90,
    "counter_argument": "Some might argue that the presence of any derivatives (even for EPM) could trigger complexity. However, MiFID II guidelines explicitly allow for derivatives used in efficient portfolio management without classifying the product as complex, provided they do not materially alter the risk profile or require specialist knowledge to understand. The limited and clearly disclosed use of swaps (capped at 10% and expected to be 5%) does not introduce significant counterparty risk or complexity.",
    "risk_level_assessment": "The fund's risk level (category 6) is driven by the volatility of the Japanese equity market rather than structural complexity. The risks are clearly disclosed and understandable to retail investors."
