    "supporting_data": "The WisdomTree NASDAQ 100 3x Daily Short is a fully collateralised, UCITS eligible Exchange Traded Product (ETP) that provides leveraged short exposure (-3x) to the NASDAQ-100 Total Return Index. The product uses synthetic replication through fully collateralised swap agreements with swap counterparties, exposing investors to counterparty risk. The leverage factor is 3x inverse, with daily reset and compounding effects, which significantly increases complexity and risk. The product is structured as a certificated, registered, collateralised debt security rather than a traditional ETF, and is not UCITS compliant. The risk indicator is at the highest level (7/7), reflecting the high risk and complexity. The product documentation explicitly states it is 'not simple and may be difficult to understand' and is intended for informed investors with specific knowledge of leveraged and inverse products. The use of swaps, leverage, inverse exposure, and the daily compounding mechanism, combined with counterparty and liquidity risks, all contribute to the classification as a complex financial instrument under MiFID II. The product also carries risks related to collateral management and potential losses of the entire investment in adverse market conditions. The costs include management fees and significant transaction costs related to maintaining the swap positions. The product is not UCITS compliant, further supporting the complexity classification."
