    "classification": "complex",
    "supporting_data": "The ETF uses financial derivative instruments such as interest rate swaps, currency futures, and forward foreign exchange contracts for both hedging and investment purposes. While it primarily invests in physical sovereign bonds, the active use of derivatives for currency hedging and interest rate management introduces complexity. The KIID explicitly mentions the use of swaps and other derivatives, which are not solely for efficient portfolio management but also for active investment strategies. The risk of counterparty exposure from these derivatives further contributes to the complexity.",
    "confidence": 85,
    "risk_level": 3,
    "counter_argument": "The ETF could be argued as non-complex due to its primary physical replication of sovereign bonds and straightforward investment objective. However, the active use of derivatives for both hedging and investment purposes, along with the potential for significant counterparty risk, tips the balance toward a complex classification under MiFID II.",
    "additional_notes": "The ETF's use of derivatives is not limited to efficient portfolio management but extends to active investment strategies, which increases the complexity. The presence of interest rate swaps and currency hedging, along with the potential for counterparty risk, aligns with the criteria for a complex financial instrument under MiFID II."
