    "supporting_data": "The Amundi S&P 500 UCITS ETF uses synthetic replication via a total return swap, which introduces counterparty risk and derivative exposure. The KIID explicitly states that derivatives are integral to the investment strategy, and the fund employs an indirect replication methodology through a financial derivative instrument (swap). While the fund does not use leverage or inverse strategies, the reliance on swaps and the associated counterparty risk make it complex under MiFID II rules. The presence of counterparty risk and the synthetic replication method are key factors in this classification, as they introduce additional layers of risk and complexity that may not be easily understood by retail investors.",
    "confidence": 90,
    "counter_argument": "Some might argue that the fund is non-complex because it tracks a well-known, liquid index (S&P 500) and does not use leverage or inverse strategies. However, the use of synthetic replication via swaps and the explicit mention of counterparty risk in the KIID override this argument, as these features introduce complexity that requires a higher level of investor understanding.",
    "risk_level": "The fund has a risk rating of 4 on the SRRI scale, indicating moderate risk, but the complexity arises from the synthetic replication and counterparty risk rather than the risk level itself."
