    "classification": "non-complex",
    "supporting_data": "The ETF primarily uses physical replication to track the S&P 500 Minimum Volatility Index, which is a subset of the S&P 500 with lower volatility characteristics. While the KIID mentions the use of financial derivative instruments (FDIs) for direct investment purposes, there is no indication of synthetic replication, leverage, or inverse exposure. The fund's risk profile is rated 6 out of 7, which is relatively high, but this is primarily due to the nature of equity investments rather than structural complexity. The use of derivatives appears to be for efficient portfolio management rather than as an inherent element of the strategy. The fund's underlying holdings are straightforward large-cap U.S. equities, and the replication method is optimised but not synthetic. The PRIIPs KID and factsheet confirm the physical structure and the use of derivatives for direct investment purposes, but do not indicate any complex derivative strategies or significant counterparty risk beyond standard market exposure.",
    "confidence": 85,
    "counter_argument": "One could argue that the mention of FDIs and optimised replication techniques might suggest a more complex structure. However, the absence of synthetic replication, leverage, or inverse exposure, combined with the physical replication method and straightforward equity holdings, supports the non-complex classification. The use of derivatives here appears to be for efficient portfolio management rather than creating a complex risk profile.",
    "overriding_reason": "The fund's primary strategy is straightforward equity investment with optimised replication techniques, and the use of derivatives is not extensive or complex enough to warrant a complex classification under MiFID II."
