    "supporting_data": "The ETF uses physical replication to track the STOXX Global Lithium and Battery Producers Index, holding the underlying equity securities directly. While the KIID mentions that derivatives may be used for direct investment purposes, this appears to be for efficient portfolio management rather than as a core strategy. The fund does not exhibit leverage, inverse exposure, or synthetic replication. The risk profile is primarily driven by sector concentration and equity market risks, which are typical for thematic ETFs. The fund is UCITS-compliant, which generally aligns with non-complex classifications under MiFID II. The absence of structured features, capital protection mechanisms, or significant counterparty risks further supports the non-complex classification.",
    "confidence": 90,
    "risk_level": "The fund is rated as a 7 on the risk scale, primarily due to sector concentration and equity market risks, but this does not inherently indicate complexity under MiFID II. The risks are transparent and typical for a thematic equity ETF.",
    "counter_argument": "Some might argue that the use of derivatives for direct investment purposes could introduce complexity. However, the KIID clarifies that derivatives are not a primary strategy but rather a tool for efficient portfolio management, which is a common practice in non-complex ETFs. The physical replication method and straightforward equity holdings outweigh this consideration."
