    "supporting_data": "The GraniteShares FAANG ETP is classified as complex due to its synthetic replication method, reliance on a swap agreement with Natixis, and the associated counterparty and collateral risks. The KIID explicitly states that the product is 'not simple and may be difficult to understand,' which is a strong indicator of complexity under MiFID II. The presence of an unfunded swap structure, even if collateralized, introduces additional layers of risk and operational complexity that retail investors may struggle to fully comprehend. The high risk rating (6 out of 7) and the warning about potential total loss of investment further support this classification. While the ETP does not employ leverage or inverse strategies, the synthetic nature and the need for investors to understand swap mechanics and counterparty risk make it inherently complex.",
    "confidence": 90,
    "counter_argument": "One could argue that the ETP is non-complex because it does not use leverage, inverse strategies, or exotic derivatives, and it tracks a straightforward equal-weight index of well-known companies. However, the synthetic replication via swaps and the explicit warnings about complexity in the KIID override these points, as MiFID II places significant emphasis on the transparency and understandability of the investment structure. The presence of counterparty risk and the need for collateral management are not features typically associated with non-complex products.",
