    "classification": "complex",
    "supporting_data": "The ETF uses physical replication as its primary method but incorporates currency hedging through derivatives (currency forwards) to manage exchange rate risk between USD and CHF. While the fund primarily invests directly in bonds, the use of derivatives for hedging purposes introduces complexity. The KIID explicitly mentions the use of derivatives for reducing investor risks or giving rise to market risks, including counterparty risk. Additionally, the fund's risk category is 5, indicating higher volatility and potential complexity for retail investors. The fact sheet confirms the use of stratified sampling and portfolio optimization techniques, which may involve derivative instruments.",
    "confidence": 85,
    "counter_argument": "The ETF could be argued as non-complex due to its primary use of physical replication and straightforward investment in liquid corporate bonds. The derivatives are used for hedging rather than leverage or speculative purposes, which might not inherently make the product complex under MiFID II.",
    "override_reason": "Despite the hedging purpose, the use of derivatives for currency management and the explicit mention of counterparty risks in the KIID elevate the product's complexity. The risk category of 5 and the need for investors to understand derivative-related risks justify the 'complex' classification under MiFID II, as the product's risk profile may not be easily comprehensible to all retail investors."
