    "classification": "complex",
    "supporting_data": "The ETF uses synthetic replication via swap agreements to track the MSCI EM EMEA Low Carbon SRI Selection Capped Index, which introduces counterparty risk and requires understanding of derivative mechanics. The index itself has a complex dual-layered selection methodology (combining carbon exposure and ESG criteria) that may not be easily understood by retail investors. While the ETF does not employ leverage or inverse strategies, the combination of swap-based replication and the specialized nature of the underlying index meets the criteria for complexity under MiFID II.",
    "confidence": 90,
    "risk_level": 6,
    "counter_argument": "The ETF could be argued as non-complex because it does not use leverage, has a clear investment objective, and is UCITS-compliant. However, the use of swaps for replication and the complexity of the underlying ESG index outweigh these factors, as MiFID II explicitly flags swap-based ETFs as complex due to counterparty risk and the need for investors to understand derivative mechanics.",
    "additional_notes": "The factsheet confirms the use of 'Indirect Replication (Swap)' and highlights counterparty risk as a key consideration. The PRIIPs KID (if available) would likely reinforce this classification with a comprehension warning, though it was not provided in the analysis."
