    "supporting_data": "The iShares S&P U.S. Banks UCITS ETF is a physically replicated ETF that aims to track the S&P 900 Banks (Industry) 7/4 Capped Index. The KIID and factsheet indicate that the fund primarily holds equity securities of U.S. banks and uses physical replication to match the index composition. While the KIID mentions the potential use of financial derivative instruments (FDIs) for direct investment purposes, it does not specify extensive or complex derivative strategies. The fund's risk profile is rated 7, but this is primarily due to sector concentration risks rather than structural complexity. The factsheet confirms a physical replication methodology and does not highlight any leveraged, inverse, or synthetic strategies. The fund's use of derivatives appears limited to efficient portfolio management rather than as a core investment strategy, which aligns with non-complex classification under MiFID II.",
    "confidence": 90,
    "counter_argument": "The mention of potential derivative use could suggest complexity, but the context indicates these are likely used for EPM (efficient portfolio management) rather than as a primary investment strategy. The physical replication and straightforward equity holdings outweigh this concern.",
    "risk_level": "The fund is rated 7 on the risk scale, primarily due to sector concentration in U.S. banks, which is a market risk rather than a structural complexity risk."
