    "supporting_data": "The iShares Edge MSCI Europe Quality Factor UCITS ETF uses physical replication with optimizing techniques that may include derivatives for direct investment purposes, but not for leverage or synthetic replication. The fund tracks a factor-based index (quality factor) within the MSCI Europe universe, which introduces some complexity due to the factor focus. However, the derivatives are used within standard Efficient Portfolio Management (EPM) practices, and the fund does not employ leverage, inverse strategies, or synthetic replication. The risk profile (rated 6) is primarily driven by equity market exposure rather than structural complexity. The fund is UCITS-compliant, providing additional investor protections.",
    "confidence": 85,
    "counter_argument": "The use of derivatives and a factor-based index could be argued to introduce complexity, as factor indices may behave differently than broad market indices. However, the derivatives are used in a controlled manner for optimization rather than as a primary investment strategy, and the fund's overall structure remains transparent and aligned with standard UCITS ETF practices. The absence of leverage, inverse exposure, or synthetic replication supports the non-complex classification.",
