    "classification": "non-complex",
    "supporting_data": "The ETF uses physical replication with optimisation techniques and may use derivatives for direct investment purposes, but not for leverage or synthetic replication. The primary complexity arises from the factor-based index methodology, which focuses on value stocks and uses optimisation techniques. However, the fund does not exhibit other significant complexity indicators such as leverage, inverse exposure, or synthetic replication. The risk profile is rated 6, but this is primarily due to the equity market exposure rather than structural complexity. The fund is UCITS-compliant and provides regular disclosure, supporting its classification as non-complex under MiFID II.",
    "confidence": 85,
    "counter_argument": "Some might argue that the use of derivatives and the factor-based index methodology could introduce complexity. However, the derivatives are used within a controlled framework for direct investment purposes, and the factor methodology, while sophisticated, is clearly disclosed and does not introduce leverage or synthetic exposure. The fund's overall structure remains transparent and suitable for retail investors.",
    "risk_level": 6,
    "additional_notes": "The fund's use of derivatives is limited to optimisation and direct investment purposes, not for leverage or synthetic replication. The factor-based approach is well-documented, and the fund provides adequate public information, supporting its non-complex classification."
