    "supporting_data": "The Invesco AT1 Capital Bond UCITS ETF is classified as complex primarily due to its investment in Contingent Convertible Bonds (CoCos), which are inherently complex instruments with features like principal write-down risk and conversion to equity under certain conditions. While the fund uses physical replication and does not employ leverage or synthetic replication, the underlying assets (AT1 bonds) exhibit significant complexity. The KIID explicitly mentions that the CNMV in Spain considers this fund not appropriate for retail investors, which is a strong indicator of complexity under MiFID II. The fund's risk rating of 5 and extensive disclosures about the risks of CoCos further support this classification. Although derivatives are used for risk management rather than as a core strategy, the presence of these complex underlying assets is sufficient to warrant a complex classification.",
    "confidence": 90,
    "counter_argument": "One could argue that since the fund uses physical replication and derivatives are only used for risk management, it might be considered non-complex. However, the complexity of the underlying AT1 bonds, which have features that are difficult for retail investors to fully understand (such as conversion triggers and principal write-downs), overrides this argument. The explicit warning from the CNMV in Spain about the fund's unsuitability for retail investors further reinforces the complex classification."
