    "supporting_data": "The WisdomTree Precious Metals product is an Exchange Traded Commodity (ETC) structured as a fully collateralised debt security that provides total return exposure to a basket of precious metals futures contracts. It tracks the Bloomberg Commodity Precious Metals Subindex 4W Total Return Index via synthetic replication using fully funded swaps. The product explicitly uses swap agreements with collateral held at a custodian to mitigate counterparty risk, but counterparty risk remains a material factor. The underlying exposure is to futures contracts that are rolled regularly, exposing investors to contango and backwardation effects, which add complexity to the return profile. The product is not UCITS compliant and is structured as a debt security rather than an ETF. The risk indicator is medium (4/7), but the product carries specific complexity flags such as the use of derivatives and swaps as an inherent part of the investment strategy, counterparty risk, and the complexity of the underlying commodity futures index with roll costs. There is no leverage or inverse exposure, but the synthetic replication and swap usage classify this product as complex under MiFID II. The product also carries a comprehension warning indicating it may be difficult for retail investors to understand fully. These factors combined drive the classification as complex despite a moderate risk rating."
