    "supporting_data": "The iShares MSCI EM Small Cap UCITS ETF uses physical replication with optimisation techniques, including the selective use of derivatives for direct investment purposes rather than leverage or synthetic replication. While derivatives are mentioned, they are not used for leverage or to create a complex payoff structure. The fund primarily invests in physical equities and uses derivatives in a limited capacity to gain exposure to certain securities. The risk profile is high due to emerging markets and small-cap exposure, but this does not inherently make it complex under MiFID II. The fund is UCITS-compliant, has a clear benchmark, and provides regular liquidity, all of which support a non-complex classification.",
    "confidence": 90,
    "counter_argument": "Some might argue that the use of derivatives for direct investment purposes could introduce complexity, especially in emerging markets where counterparty risks are higher. However, the derivatives are not used for leverage or synthetic replication, and the overall structure remains transparent and aligned with the underlying index. The fund's risk profile is high but not due to structural complexity, and the UCITS framework ensures adequate investor protections.",
