    "classification": "non-complex",
    "supporting_data": "The ETF uses physical replication to track the Indxx Blockchain Index, which consists of equity securities. There is no evidence of synthetic replication, leverage, or extensive derivative usage beyond what might be considered standard for efficient portfolio management. The fund's risk profile (SRRI 6) is high due to the volatile nature of blockchain-related equities, but this does not inherently make it complex under MiFID II. The KIID and factsheet confirm that the fund is passively managed, uses full physical replication, and does not employ swaps or leverage. The primary complexity arises from the thematic nature of the index (blockchain technology), but this alone does not classify it as a complex instrument under MiFID II rules.",
    "confidence": 90,
    "risk_level": 6,
    "counter_argument": "Some might argue that the blockchain theme introduces complexity due to the speculative and volatile nature of the underlying companies. However, MiFID II complexity is more about structural features (derivatives, leverage, etc.) rather than thematic exposure. The fund's physical replication and lack of synthetic instruments or leverage keep it in the non-complex category despite the high-risk profile of its holdings.",
    "final_decision": "The ETF is classified as non-complex because it uses physical replication, does not employ leverage or derivatives beyond standard EPM, and its structure is transparent and liquid. The high-risk profile due to thematic exposure does not alone make it complex under MiFID II."
