    "supporting_data": "The iShares MSCI World Momentum Factor ESG UCITS ETF primarily uses physical replication to track its benchmark index, which is a key indicator of non-complexity under MiFID II. While the KIID mentions the potential use of financial derivative instruments (FDIs), it specifies that these are used to help achieve the investment objective rather than as a core strategy, suggesting limited and controlled derivative usage likely for efficient portfolio management (EPM) purposes. The fund does not employ leverage, inverse strategies, or synthetic replication, and there is no indication of swap agreements or significant counterparty risk exposure. The underlying assets are equity securities, which are generally considered straightforward. The factor-based and ESG-optimized strategy introduces some complexity in the index methodology, but this is disclosed transparently and does not inherently make the product complex under MiFID II. The risk rating of 6 is relatively high, but this is primarily due to the equity exposure and factor risk rather than structural complexity. The fund is UCITS-compliant, which further supports its classification as non-complex.",
    "confidence": 85,
    "counter_argument": "Some might argue that the factor-based and ESG-optimized strategy introduces complexity, as it involves an optimization methodology that may not be easily understood by all retail investors. Additionally, the use of derivatives, even if limited, could be seen as a potential complexity trigger. However, the derivatives are not used for leverage or synthetic replication, and the overall structure remains transparent and aligned with standard UCITS ETF practices. The fund's physical replication method and clear disclosure of risks mitigate these concerns, supporting the non-complex classification."
