    "classification": "complex",
    "supporting_data": "The ETF uses FLEX Options, which are customized derivative instruments, to achieve its investment objective of providing a buffer against losses while capping upside returns. This structured outcome strategy creates a non-linear payoff profile that is not easily understandable by retail investors. The use of these complex derivatives for investment purposes (not just efficient portfolio management) and the need to hold through full outcome periods to realize the intended benefits make this a complex product under MiFID II. The risk profile (SRRI 5) and the fact that the fund's performance is subject to caps and buffers that require understanding of option mechanics further support this classification.",
    "confidence": 9,
    "risk_level": 5,
    "counter_argument": "The fund is UCITS compliant and has a clear investment objective, which might suggest it could be non-complex. However, the use of FLEX Options and the structured outcome strategy override these factors as they introduce complexity in the payoff structure and require understanding of derivative mechanics.",
    "additional_notes": "The fund's monthly factsheet confirms the extensive use of FLEX Options and the reset mechanism at each outcome period, reinforcing the complexity assessment. The PRIIPs KID would likely contain a comprehension warning given the derivative-based strategy."
