    "supporting_data": "The ETF primarily uses physical replication to track the MSCI World SRI Select Reduced Fossil Fuel Index. While it employs financial derivative instruments (FDIs) for currency hedging and potentially for efficient portfolio management, these are not used for leverage or complex strategies. The fund's risk profile (rated 6) is primarily driven by equity market risks rather than derivative complexity. The ESG screening adds some complexity to the index methodology but does not fundamentally alter the straightforward equity exposure. The fund's prospectus indicates derivatives are used for hedging purposes rather than as a core investment strategy.",
    "confidence": 90,
    "risk_level": 6,
    "counter_argument": "Some might argue the ESG screening and derivative usage for hedging could push this into complex territory. However, under MiFID II guidelines, when derivatives are used solely for hedging and efficient portfolio management (not for leverage or complex strategies), and the underlying assets are straightforward equities, the instrument typically remains non-complex. The currency hedging via FX forwards is a common practice in international ETFs and doesn't inherently create complexity that would require specialist knowledge to understand.",
    "additional_notes": "The fund's UCITS compliance and physical replication method are strong indicators of non-complex status. The derivative usage is clearly disclosed as being for hedging purposes, which is an acceptable use under MiFID II non-complex criteria. The ESG screening, while adding some methodological complexity to the index, doesn't create investment complexity that would make the product unsuitable for retail investors."
