    "supporting_data": "The WisdomTree Petroleum product is an Exchange Traded Commodity (ETC) structured as a fully collateralised debt security that synthetically replicates the Bloomberg Commodity Petroleum Subindex 4W Total Return Index via fully funded collateralised swap agreements. The product does not physically hold petroleum or futures contracts but gains exposure through swaps with counterparties, which introduces counterparty risk. The use of futures contracts involves rolling, which exposes investors to roll costs and market phenomena such as contango and backwardation, adding complexity to the product's performance. The product is not UCITS compliant and is classified as high risk (6 out of 7), indicating significant volatility and potential for loss. There is no leverage or inverse exposure, but the synthetic replication method, swap usage, and commodity futures exposure make the product complex under MiFID II. The product is a debt security, not an ETF, and investors bear credit risk on the issuer and swap counterparties. The KIID explicitly states the product 'is not simple and may be difficult to understand' and highlights risks including counterparty risk, liquidity risk, and market risk. These factors combined justify a classification of 'complex' despite the absence of leverage or inverse features."
