    "supporting_data": "The ETF uses financial derivative instruments (FDIs) for direct investment purposes, which introduces complexity beyond simple physical replication. While the primary replication method is physical, the use of derivatives for purposes other than efficient portfolio management (EPM) or hedging triggers the complex classification under MiFID II. The KIID explicitly states that FDIs may be used for direct investment, which implies a more sophisticated strategy requiring specialist knowledge. Additionally, the presence of counterparty risk due to derivative usage further supports the complex classification. The risk rating of 4 and the disclosure of counterparty risk also indicate a higher level of complexity.",
    "confidence": 85,
    "risk_level": 4,
    "counter_argument": "One could argue that the ETF is non-complex due to its primary physical replication method and lack of leverage or inverse exposure. However, the explicit mention of using derivatives for direct investment purposes, which is not limited to EPM, overrides this argument. The MiFID II guidelines emphasize that any use of derivatives beyond simple hedging or replication can classify an instrument as complex, especially when it introduces additional risks like counterparty risk."
