    "classification": "complex",
    "supporting_data": "The WisdomTree Livestock product is an Exchange Traded Commodity (ETC) structured as a fully collateralised debt security that synthetically replicates the Bloomberg Commodity Livestock Subindex 4W Total Return Index via a funded swap agreement. The product does not physically hold the underlying livestock futures but gains exposure through swap contracts, which introduces counterparty risk. The documentation explicitly mentions swap counterparties, collateral held to mitigate counterparty risk, and the impact of rolling futures contracts, including contango and backwardation effects, which add complexity to the product's performance and risk profile. The product is UCITS eligible but not UCITS compliant, reflecting its more complex structure. The risk indicator is medium (4/7), but the product carries specific risks related to counterparty exposure and derivative usage. There is no leverage or inverse exposure, but the synthetic replication and swap usage are key complexity drivers under MiFID II. The product is a debt security rather than an equity ETF, which also adds to complexity. The PRIIPs KID and factsheet confirm the use of fully funded swaps and collateral management, reinforcing the classification as complex."
