    "supporting_data": "The WisdomTree Copper product is an Exchange Traded Commodity (ETC) structured as a fully collateralised debt security that provides total return exposure to copper futures contracts by tracking the Bloomberg Commodity Copper Subindex 4W Total Return Index. The replication method is synthetic, achieved through fully funded swap agreements with swap counterparties, as explicitly stated in the factsheet and KIID. The product is UCITS eligible but not UCITS compliant, indicating regulatory complexity. The use of swaps introduces counterparty risk, which is disclosed in detail, including collateral management and credit risk. The product is exposed to derivative instruments inherently, not just for risk management, as it tracks futures contracts and uses swaps to replicate index performance. There is no leverage or inverse exposure, but the product is affected by roll costs and market phenomena such as contango and backwardation, which add complexity to understanding performance. The risk indicator is medium-high (5/7), reflecting the volatility and derivative exposure. The product is a debt security, not an ETF or equity fund, which adds to complexity for retail investors. The KIID explicitly states 'You are about to purchase a product that is not simple and may be difficult to understand,' reinforcing the complexity classification. Overall, the synthetic replication via swaps, the derivative exposure, counterparty risk, and the complex nature of the underlying commodity futures index make this product complex under MiFID II rules."
