    "supporting_data": "The iShares S&P 500 Utilities Sector UCITS ETF is a physically replicated ETF that aims to track the performance of the S&P 500 Capped 35/20 Utilities Index. The fund primarily invests in equity securities that make up the index, with no indication of leverage, inverse strategies, or significant derivative usage beyond what may be used for efficient portfolio management (EPM). The KIID explicitly states that the fund may use financial derivative instruments (FDIs) for direct investment purposes, but this is likely limited to EPM rather than as a core strategy. The fund does not exhibit any of the key complexity indicators such as synthetic replication, leverage, or exposure to illiquid or hard-to-value securities. The risk profile is straightforward, with a clear focus on a specific sector (utilities) within a well-known index (S&P 500). The fund is UCITS-compliant, which further supports its classification as non-complex under MiFID II.",
    "confidence": 95,
    "counter_argument": "Some might argue that the use of derivatives, even for EPM, could introduce complexity. However, the fund's primary strategy is physical replication, and the derivatives are not used in a way that materially alters the risk profile or requires specialist knowledge to understand. The fund's transparency, liquidity, and straightforward investment objective outweigh this concern.",
    "risk_level": "The fund is rated as a 6 on the risk scale, which is relatively high due to its sector concentration (utilities), but this does not inherently make it complex. The risks are clearly disclosed and understandable, focusing on sector-specific and market risks rather than complex financial structures."
