    "supporting_data": "The iShares Edge MSCI Europe Momentum ETF is a UCITS-compliant, physically replicated ETF that tracks a factor-based index. While the KIID mentions the potential use of financial derivative instruments (FDIs) for direct investment purposes, this appears to be for optimization and efficient portfolio management rather than as a core strategy. The fund does not employ leverage, inverse strategies, or synthetic replication. The primary complexity factor is the momentum-based factor strategy, which may be less intuitive for some investors, but this alone does not meet the threshold for classification as a complex instrument under MiFID II. The risk level (6) is high, but this is primarily due to the equity and factor risks rather than structural complexity. The fund is physically replicated and does not rely on swaps or significant counterparty risk.",
    "confidence": 85,
    "counter_argument": "Some might argue that the use of derivatives and the factor-based strategy could make this ETF complex. However, the derivatives are used for optimization rather than as a primary strategy, and the factor approach, while sophisticated, is clearly disclosed and does not introduce non-linear risks or leverage. The fund remains transparent and liquid, aligning with non-complex criteria under MiFID II."
