    "supporting_data": "The WisdomTree Soybeans product is an Exchange Traded Commodity (ETC) structured as a fully collateralised debt security that synthetically replicates the Bloomberg Commodity Soybeans Subindex 4W Total Return Index via swap agreements. The product explicitly uses fully funded collateralised swaps to gain exposure to soybean futures contracts, avoiding physical delivery. The KIID and factsheet confirm the use of swaps, collateral management, and counterparty risk, which are key complexity indicators under MiFID II. The product is not UCITS compliant, is structured as a debt security rather than an ETF, and involves derivative instruments inherently in its strategy rather than for risk management only. The presence of roll costs due to contango and backwardation effects adds to the complexity, as these affect returns in a non-linear and less transparent manner. The risk indicator is medium (4/7), but the complexity arises primarily from the synthetic replication method, swap counterparty exposure, and the nature of commodity futures indices. Therefore, despite a moderate risk rating, the product is classified as complex under MiFID II rules."
