    "supporting_data": "The First Trust Emerging Markets AlphaDEX UCITS ETF is a physically replicated, non-leveraged ETF that tracks the NASDAQ AlphaDEX Emerging Markets Index. The KIID and factsheet indicate that the fund uses full physical replication, with no mention of synthetic replication, swaps, or derivative instruments beyond what might be used for efficient portfolio management (e.g., depository receipts for indirect exposure). The fund's risk profile (SRRI 6) is high due to emerging market exposure, but this does not inherently indicate complexity under MiFID II. The fund does not employ leverage, inverse strategies, or capital protection mechanisms. The AlphaDEX methodology involves a rules-based stock selection process, but this is transparent and does not introduce complexity beyond standard equity ETFs. The fund is UCITS-compliant, which further supports its non-complex classification.",
    "confidence": 95,
    "counter_argument": "Some might argue that the AlphaDEX methodology or the use of depository receipts introduces complexity. However, the methodology is rules-based and transparent, and depository receipts are a common tool for gaining exposure to markets where direct investment is restricted. These elements do not materially alter the fund's risk profile or require specialist knowledge to understand, thus not meeting the threshold for complexity under MiFID II.",
    "risk_level": "The fund is classified as SRRI 6, indicating higher volatility typical of emerging market equities, but this is not a determinant of complexity under MiFID II."
