    "supporting_data": "The Invesco NASDAQ-100 ESG UCITS ETF is a physically replicated ETF that aims to track the NASDAQ-100 ESG Index. It uses full replication to hold all the securities in the index in their respective weightings. While the KIID mentions that the fund may use derivative instruments for managing risk, reducing costs, or generating additional capital or income, this usage is limited to efficient portfolio management (EPM) and does not constitute a primary investment strategy. The fund does not employ leverage, inverse strategies, or synthetic replication. The risk profile is rated at level 6, which is relatively high but not necessarily indicative of complexity under MiFID II. The fund is UCITS-compliant, which imposes additional investor protection and transparency requirements. The underlying assets are liquid and transparent equities, and there are no capital protection mechanisms or structured features. The fund's risk disclosures are standard for equity ETFs, and the costs are straightforward with a single ongoing charge. The ESG focus does not introduce additional complexity from a MiFID II perspective.",
    "confidence": 95,
    "counter_argument": "Some might argue that the use of derivatives for any purpose could trigger complexity. However, the MiFID II guidelines explicitly allow for derivatives used in efficient portfolio management (EPM) without classifying the product as complex. The derivatives are not used to create leverage or for speculative purposes but rather for risk management and cost reduction, which are permissible under the non-complex classification. Additionally, the physical replication method and the straightforward investment objective further support the non-complex classification."
