    "supporting_data": "The WisdomTree Silver 3x Daily Leveraged product is an Exchange Traded Commodity (ETC) that provides 3x leveraged exposure to the Solactive Silver Commodity Futures SL Index, which tracks front-month COMEX Silver futures contracts. The product uses fully collateralised swap agreements to achieve its investment objective, explicitly described as a 'fully collateralised swap' structure. The use of swaps and derivatives is inherent to the product strategy, not merely for risk management, confirmed by references to swap counterparties, collateral held at Bank of New York Mellon, and counterparty risk disclosures. The product is not UCITS compliant, reflecting its complexity and risk profile. The leverage factor is 3x with daily reset and compounding effects, which introduces path dependency and potential deviation from the underlying index performance over periods longer than one day. The product carries the highest risk rating (7/7), indicating very high risk and complexity. The KIID and PRIIPs KID both warn that the product is 'not simple and may be difficult to understand,' intended only for informed or sophisticated investors with specific knowledge of leveraged and derivative products. The underlying index is based on futures contracts with monthly rolling, which introduces roll costs and contango/backwardation effects, adding further complexity. The product is structured as a debt security, not as shares, and exposes investors to counterparty risk from swap counterparties, despite collateral arrangements. There are no capital protection features; losses can be total. Costs include management fees and transaction costs related to the underlying derivatives. All these factors combined meet MiFID II criteria for classification as a complex financial instrument."
