    "supporting_data": "The iShares MSCI Japan EUR Hedged UCITS ETF uses physical replication with optimized sampling techniques and currency hedging via FX forwards. While derivatives (FX forwards) are used for hedging purposes, they are employed for efficient portfolio management rather than as a core strategy. The fund does not use leverage, inverse strategies, or synthetic replication. The underlying assets are liquid Japanese equities, and the risk profile is transparent. The fund is UCITS-compliant, which generally aligns with non-complex classifications under MiFID II. The use of derivatives is limited to hedging and does not introduce significant additional risk or complexity beyond standard equity market exposure.",
    "confidence": 90,
    "counter_argument": "Some may argue that the use of FX forwards and optimized sampling introduces complexity. However, these techniques are standard in hedged ETFs and are well-documented in the KIID, making the risks understandable to retail investors. The fund's risk profile (rated 6) is primarily driven by equity market exposure rather than derivative-related risks.",
    "risk_level": "The fund is rated 6 out of 7 on the risk scale, primarily due to equity market risks rather than derivative-related complexity. The hedging strategy is clearly disclosed, and the fund's performance is closely tied to the underlying index."
