    "classification": "non-complex",
    "supporting_data": "The ARK Artificial Intelligence & Robotics UCITS ETF is classified as non-complex under MiFID II based on the following analysis: 1. The fund uses physical replication, as indicated by its direct investment in global equity securities of companies involved in artificial intelligence, autonomous technology, and robotics. There is no mention of synthetic replication, swaps, or derivative instruments in the KIID or PRIIPs KID. 2. The fund does not employ leverage or inverse strategies, as evidenced by the absence of terms like 'leveraged,' 'inverse,' or 'gearing' in the documentation. 3. The underlying investments are equities, which are considered straightforward and transparent. While the fund invests in small-cap and technology-focused companies, which may carry higher risk, this does not inherently make the fund complex. 4. The risk profile is rated 7 out of 7, indicating higher risk, but this is due to the nature of the investments (technology-focused companies) rather than the structure of the fund. 5. The fund is UCITS-compliant, which typically implies a higher standard of transparency and investor protection. 6. The PRIIPs KID does not contain a comprehension warning, which would be a potential indicator of complexity. 7. The fund's active management strategy, while potentially more complex than passive index tracking, does not involve the use of derivatives or other complex financial instruments. The main factors driving the classification are the fund's physical replication method, the absence of leverage or inverse strategies, and the straightforward nature of its underlying investments. The thematic focus and higher risk profile do not inherently make the fund complex under MiFID II.",
