    "supporting_data": "The ETF primarily uses physical replication and optimisation techniques to track its benchmark index. While it mentions the use of financial derivative instruments (FDIs) for direct investment purposes, this appears to be for efficient portfolio management rather than as a core strategy. The ETF does not employ leverage, inverse strategies, or synthetic replication. The risk profile is rated six, but this is primarily due to the nature of its investments in emerging markets and smaller companies, which are inherently more volatile. The ETF is UCITS-compliant, which imposes strict regulations on the use of derivatives and leverage. The KIID does not indicate any capital protection mechanisms, structured features, or significant counterparty risks beyond standard market risks.",

    "counter_argument": "The use of derivatives could be seen as a complexity factor. However, the derivatives are used for direct investment purposes and not for leverage or synthetic replication, which are key complexity triggers under MiFID II. The ETF's primary strategy is physical replication with optimisation techniques, which is generally considered non-complex. The UCITS framework further ensures that the use of derivatives is limited and controlled, reducing the overall complexity.",
    "final_reasoning": "The ETF is classified as non-complex because it primarily uses physical replication and optimisation techniques, with derivatives used in a limited and controlled manner for direct investment purposes. The ETF does not employ leverage, inverse strategies, or synthetic replication, and it is UCITS-compliant, which imposes strict regulations on the use of derivatives and leverage."
