    "supporting_data": "The iShares Edge S&P 500 Minimum Volatility ETF uses physical replication as its primary method, investing directly in equity securities that make up the S&P 500 Minimum Volatility Index. While it employs financial derivative instruments (FDIs) for currency hedging and potentially for direct investment purposes, these are used in a limited and transparent manner. The fund does not exhibit leverage, inverse exposure, or synthetic replication, which are key indicators of complexity. The risk profile is rated 6, but this is primarily due to the nature of its equity investments rather than structural complexity. The fund's use of derivatives appears to be for efficient portfolio management rather than as a core strategy, and the overall structure remains straightforward and understandable for retail investors.",
    "confidence": 85,
    "counter_argument": "Some might argue that the use of derivatives for currency hedging and the optimized replication technique could introduce complexity. However, these are standard practices in many ETFs and are clearly disclosed. The derivatives are not used for leverage or speculative purposes, and the fund's strategy is transparent and aligned with its benchmark index. The absence of leverage, inverse exposure, or synthetic replication supports the non-complex classification.",
    "risk_level": "The fund is rated 6 on the risk scale, indicating higher risk due to its equity exposure and volatility strategy, but this does not equate to structural complexity under MiFID II."
