    "supporting_data": "The WisdomTree Gilts 10Y 1x Daily Short is a fully collateralised Exchange Traded Product (ETP) that provides inverse (-1x) daily exposure to the Long Gilt Rolling Future Index, which tracks UK government bond futures. The product uses a fully collateralised swap structure to achieve its investment objective, explicitly referencing swap counterparties and collateral held at The Bank of New York Mellon. The replication method is synthetic, not physical, relying on derivative instruments (futures and swaps). The product features daily reset leverage with an inverse exposure, which introduces a compounding effect that can cause returns over periods longer than one day to deviate significantly from the simple inverse of the index performance. The risk indicator is at the highest level (7/7), reflecting the high risk and complexity. The product is not UCITS compliant, structured as a collateralised debt security, and carries significant counterparty risk. The KIID and PRIIPs KID both warn that the product is not simple and may be difficult to understand, intended only for informed investors with specific knowledge of leveraged and short ETPs. The use of futures contracts with rolling and the swap-based synthetic replication, combined with inverse leverage and daily compounding effects, are key complexity drivers under MiFID II. The product\u2019s costs include transaction costs related to buying and selling underlying derivatives. Overall, these factors confirm the product\u2019s classification as complex under MiFID II."
