    "supporting_data": "The WisdomTree US Efficient Core UCITS ETF tracks an index that targets 90% exposure to US large-cap equities and 60% notional exposure to US Treasury bond futures, with 10% cash as collateral. The ETF uses physical replication for the equity component but gains bond exposure synthetically via US Treasury futures contracts, which inherently involve derivative instruments and leverage. The use of bond futures to achieve 60% notional exposure implies leverage above 1:1 on the bond portion, confirmed by the PRIIPs document stating the index 'effectively delivers a leveraged position to the traditional 60/40 portfolio.' There is no mention of swap agreements or total return swaps, and the ETF does not use swaps, but the futures exposure and leverage trigger complexity under MiFID II. The risk profile is high (7/7), indicating significant risk and complexity. The fund is UCITS compliant and physically replicates equities but uses derivatives (futures) for bond exposure, which are not used merely for risk management but as an inherent part of the strategy. The PRIIPs KID warns of high risk, leverage, and potential for magnified losses. No capital protection or structured features are present. Costs are straightforward with no performance fees or swap fees. The complexity arises mainly from the leveraged futures exposure and synthetic bond component, making the product complex under MiFID II despite physical equity replication and UCITS compliance."
