    "classification": "complex",
    "supporting_data": "The ETF uses unfunded swaps for synthetic replication, which introduces counterparty risk and complexity beyond physical replication. The KIID explicitly states the use of swaps to exchange performance, and the risk section highlights derivative-related risks, including counterparty exposure. The risk category is 7, indicating higher complexity. While the ETF does not use leverage or inverse strategies, the synthetic replication method and reliance on derivatives for tracking the index make it complex under MiFID II rules.",
    "confidence": 90,
    "risk_level": 7,
    "counter_argument": "Some may argue that the ETF is non-complex due to its straightforward objective of tracking a well-defined index and its UCITS compliance. However, the use of synthetic replication via unfunded swaps and the associated counterparty risks outweigh this argument, as MiFID II explicitly flags synthetic ETFs with significant derivative exposure as complex.",
    "additional_notes": "The ETF's reliance on swaps for performance tracking, combined with the high risk category and explicit warnings about counterparty risk, aligns with MiFID II's criteria for complex instruments. The absence of leverage or inverse exposure does not negate the complexity introduced by synthetic replication."
