    "supporting_data": "The ETF uses synthetic replication via swaps to track the LPX Major Market Index, which exposes it to counterparty risk. The KIID explicitly mentions the use of derivatives and swaps, stating that the fund enters into financial contracts with counterparties to obtain the index return. The presence of counterparty risk and the complexity of the underlying private equity index contribute to the classification as a complex instrument. Additionally, the risk profile is rated at the highest level (7), indicating significant volatility and potential for substantial losses.",
    "confidence": 90,
    "risk_level": 7,
    "counterparty_risk": true,
    "underlying_asset_complexity": "The underlying index consists of listed private equity companies, which are inherently complex due to their illiquid and opaque nature. The index methodology and the use of swaps to replicate it add layers of complexity that may not be easily understood by retail investors.",
    "additional_notes": "While the ETF does not use leverage or inverse strategies, the synthetic replication method and the nature of the underlying assets (private equity) introduce complexities that align with MiFID II's criteria for complex instruments. The PRIIPs KID and factsheet reinforce these points, particularly the emphasis on counterparty risk and the specialized nature of the index."
