    "supporting_data": "The WisdomTree S&P 500 3x Daily Short is an Exchange Traded Product (ETP) structured as a fully collateralised debt security that provides -3 times daily leveraged short exposure to the S&P 500 Total Return Index. It uses synthetic replication via fully collateralised swap agreements with large financial institutions as counterparties. The product explicitly states the use of swaps and collateral to achieve its investment objective, confirming derivative usage as an inherent element of the strategy. The leverage factor is 3x inverse, with daily reset and compounding effects, which significantly increases complexity and risk. The product is not UCITS compliant, reflecting its structural complexity and risk profile. The risk indicator is at the highest level (7/7), and the documentation warns that the product is not simple and may be difficult to understand, requiring specific knowledge of leverage, daily rebalancing, and compounding. Counterparty risk is explicitly disclosed, with collateral held to mitigate but not eliminate this risk. The product is a debt security, not a traditional ETF, and involves complex features such as daily leverage reset, swap counterparty exposure, and potential tracking error due to futures roll costs and compounding effects. These factors combined make the product complex under MiFID II rules despite its transparent index exposure. The recommended holding period is only one day, emphasizing the short-term and sophisticated nature of the investment. Therefore, the classification is complex."
