    "supporting_data": "The ETF uses synthetic replication with unfunded swaps to track the S&P Select Sector Capped 20% Utilities Index. While the underlying index itself is relatively straightforward (equity sector exposure), the use of swaps introduces counterparty risk and complexity in the replication method. The KIID explicitly mentions 'unfunded swaps' and 'counterparty risk,' which are key complexity indicators under MiFID II. The PRIIPs KID and factsheet confirm the swap-based structure and highlight the reliance on counterparties for performance delivery. The risk section also notes that the fund is in risk category 6, which aligns with the complexity classification. While the fund does not use leverage or inverse strategies, the synthetic nature and swap exposure are sufficient to classify it as complex under MiFID II.",
    "counter_argument": "One could argue that the fund's straightforward equity sector focus and lack of leverage reduce complexity. However, the explicit use of unfunded swaps and counterparty risk exposure, combined with the MiFID II guidelines, override this argument. The regulatory framework prioritizes transparency and ease of understanding for retail investors, and synthetic replication with swaps introduces material complexity."
