    "supporting_data": "The HSBC UK SUSTAINABLE EQUITY UCITS ETF exhibits several factors that classify it as a complex financial instrument under MiFID II. While it primarily uses physical replication, the KIID explicitly states that the fund may invest up to 10% of its assets in total return swaps and contracts for difference, which are considered complex instruments. Additionally, the fund may use derivatives not only for efficient portfolio management but also for investment purposes, introducing additional layers of risk and complexity. The presence of counterparty risk from swap agreements and the potential for tracking error further contribute to its complexity. The fund's risk profile is rated at level 6, indicating high volatility and potential for significant fluctuations, which aligns with the complex classification. The use of derivatives beyond simple hedging or efficient portfolio management, combined with the potential for amplified gains or losses, supports the determination that this ETF is complex.",
    "confidence": 85,
    "counter_argument": "One could argue that the fund is non-complex due to its primary use of physical replication and its straightforward investment objective of tracking the FTSE UK ESG Low Carbon Select Index. However, the explicit mention of using derivatives for investment purposes and the allowance for up to 10% in total return swaps and contracts for difference override this argument. The potential for significant tracking error and the high-risk profile further justify the complex classification.",
