    "classification": "complex",
    "supporting_data": "The ETF uses FLEX Options, which are customised derivative contracts, to achieve its structured outcome strategy. This involves a buffer and cap mechanism that requires sophisticated understanding of how the derivatives interact with the underlying index performance. The KIID explicitly states that the fund may not be appropriate for short-term investors and that the outcomes are not guaranteed, indicating complexity in the payoff structure. The use of derivatives is not for simple replication or hedging but is central to the investment strategy, making the product's behavior non-linear and potentially difficult for retail investors to fully comprehend.",
    "confidence": 90,
    "counter_argument": "The ETF is UCITS-compliant and has a clear risk profile (SRRI 5), which might suggest it is non-complex. However, the structured nature of the payoff (buffer and cap) and the reliance on customised derivatives (FLEX Options) override this argument, as these features introduce complexity that requires specialist knowledge to understand fully.",
    "risk_level": 5,
    "additional_notes": "The ETF's strategy involves a high degree of customisation in its derivative usage, which is not typical of non-complex products. The fact that the outcomes are path-dependent and reset annually adds another layer of complexity. The PRIIPs KID and factsheet reinforce the need for professional advice, further supporting the classification as complex under MiFID II."
