    "supporting_data": "The Franklin FTSE Japan UCITS ETF is a physically replicated ETF that tracks the FTSE Japan Index NR. It uses full replication to hold all benchmark securities in similar proportions, minimizing tracking error. While the KIID mentions the use of derivatives for hedging and efficient portfolio management, this is explicitly stated to be for risk reduction and cost efficiency, not for leverage or complex strategies. The fund has a straightforward investment objective, invests directly in liquid Japanese equities, and has a clear risk profile (rated 4 on the risk scale). The absence of leverage, inverse exposure, or synthetic replication, along with its UCITS compliance and transparent structure, supports its classification as non-complex under MiFID II.",
    "confidence": 95,
    "risk_level": 4,
    "counter_argument": "Some might argue that the use of derivatives for hedging could introduce complexity. However, the derivatives are used strictly for efficient portfolio management (EPM) and hedging, not as a core part of the investment strategy. The fund's risk profile remains aligned with its underlying assets, and the derivative usage is minimal and clearly disclosed. The UCITS framework further ensures investor protections, reinforcing the non-complex classification.",
    "additional_notes": "The fund's risk profile is consistent with its equity exposure, and the KIID provides clear, comprehensive information about the risks involved. The absence of complex features such as leverage, inverse exposure, or synthetic replication further supports the non-complex classification."
