    "supporting_data": "The VanEck Semiconductor UCITS ETF is a physically replicated ETF that tracks the MVIS US Listed Semiconductor 10% Capped ESG Index. The KIID and factsheet indicate that the fund primarily uses physical replication, investing directly in the underlying equity securities of the index. While the KIID mentions the potential use of financial derivative instruments (FDIs) such as futures, options, and swaps, these are described as ancillary tools for managing exposure or liquidity, not as a core part of the investment strategy. The fund's risk profile is rated at level 7, which is high, but this is due to the volatility of the semiconductor sector rather than structural complexity. The fund does not employ leverage, inverse strategies, or capital protection mechanisms. The underlying assets are liquid, publicly traded equities, and the fund is UCITS-compliant, which imposes additional investor protection and transparency requirements. The absence of complex features like leverage, synthetic replication, or structured products supports the classification as non-complex.",
    "confidence": 95,
    "counter_argument": "Some might argue that the mention of derivatives in the KIID could suggest complexity. However, the factsheet clarifies that the fund uses physical replication, and any derivative usage is limited to efficient portfolio management rather than as a core strategy. The fund's transparency, liquidity, and straightforward investment objective further support the non-complex classification.",
    "risk_level": 7,
    "risk_explanation": "The high risk level (7) is attributed to the volatility of the semiconductor sector and equity market risks, not to structural complexity. The fund's performance is directly tied to the underlying assets, and there are no additional layers of risk from complex strategies or instruments."
