    "supporting_data": "The Royal Mint Responsibly Sourced Physical Gold GBP Hedged ETC is physically backed by gold and does not use derivatives, swaps, or leverage. It employs physical replication by holding LBMA gold with the Royal Mint, and its risk profile is straightforward, with a medium risk rating (4 out of 7). The ETC is designed to track the spot price of gold with a GBP hedge, which is a simple and transparent mechanism. There are no indications of complex structures, capital protection mechanisms, or illiquid underlying assets. The costs are clear and linear, with no performance fees or hidden charges.",

    "risk_level": "medium",
    "counter_argument": "Some might argue that the GBP hedge introduces complexity, but foreign exchange hedging is a common and well-understood practice in ETFs, particularly for commodities like gold. The hedge does not materially alter the risk profile or introduce derivative complexity beyond standard currency risk management.",
    "final_decision": "The ETC is classified as non-complex because it is physically backed, uses no derivatives or leverage, and has a transparent and straightforward investment objective. The GBP hedge is a standard feature and does not introduce material complexity under MiFID II rules."
