    "classification": "complex",
    "supporting_data": "The ETF uses synthetic replication via swap agreements to achieve inverse daily exposure to the FTSE 100 Index. Key complexity indicators include: 1) The use of unfunded swaps creating counterparty risk, 2) The inverse performance objective which requires daily rebalancing and creates non-linear return patterns over longer periods, 3) The derivative-based structure that may not be fully understood by retail investors, 4) The risk of tracking error due to swap adjustments and costs. While the ETF doesn't use leverage, the combination of synthetic replication, inverse exposure, and daily rebalancing creates a product that requires sophisticated understanding of derivative mechanics and short selling strategies.",

    "counterparty_risk": true,
    "tracking_error_risk": true,
    "liquidity_risk": "Moderate - depends on swap counterparty liquidity",
    "additional_notes": "The ETF's complexity stems primarily from its synthetic replication method and inverse exposure strategy rather than leverage. The daily rebalancing requirement and potential for asymmetric returns over longer periods add to the complexity. While UCITS compliant, the combination of these factors makes it inappropriate for retail investors without specific knowledge of inverse ETF mechanics and swap-based replication risks."
