    "supporting_data": "The WisdomTree FTSE 100 3x Daily Leveraged product is a fully collateralised, UCITS eligible Exchange Traded Product (ETP) that provides 3x leveraged exposure to the FTSE 100 index via a synthetic replication method using fully collateralised swap agreements. The product is structured as a certificated, registered, collateralised debt security rather than a traditional ETF. The replication method is explicitly described as 'fully collateralised swap' and the product relies on swap counterparties, with collateral held at The Bank of New York Mellon to mitigate counterparty risk. The product uses daily leverage with a 3x leverage factor that resets daily, leading to compounding effects and deviation from simple 3x index returns over longer periods. The risk profile is at the highest level (7/7), indicating very high risk, and the product is intended only for informed investors with specific knowledge of leveraged and synthetic products. The KIID and PRIIPs KID both highlight significant counterparty risk, liquidity risk, and complexity due to the use of derivatives and leverage. The product is not UCITS compliant despite being UCITS eligible, and it is structured as an ETP rather than a traditional ETF. There is no capital protection, and the product can lose the entire invested capital. The presence of funded swaps, leverage, counterparty exposure, and the complex daily reset mechanism all contribute to the classification as a complex financial instrument under MiFID II. The product also carries warnings that it may be difficult to understand and is not suitable for retail investors without specific knowledge. No inverse exposure is present, but the leverage and synthetic swap usage are sufficient to classify it as complex."
