    "supporting_data": "The WisdomTree Brent Crude Oil 3x Daily Leveraged product is an Exchange Traded Commodity (ETC) that provides 3x leveraged exposure to the Solactive Brent Crude Oil Commodity Futures SL Index. The product uses a fully collateralised swap-based replication method, explicitly confirmed as 'fully collateralised swap' and 'backed by swaps' with collateral held at The Bank of New York Mellon. The use of swap agreements and derivative instruments is inherent to the product's strategy, not merely for risk management, thus derivatives = true and swaps = true. The product is leveraged at 3x daily exposure, with daily reset and compounding effects, which is a key complexity trigger. The product is not UCITS compliant, increasing complexity and regulatory risk. The risk indicator is at the highest level 7/7, reflecting high volatility and risk of total loss. The product carries significant counterparty risk due to reliance on swap counterparties, with collateral management risks noted. The product is structured as a debt security, not as shares, and is not capital protected. The product's performance can deviate significantly from the underlying index over periods longer than one day due to daily leverage reset and compounding, which adds to complexity. The product is intended for informed investors with specific knowledge of leverage and derivatives. Costs include management fees and significant transaction costs, reflecting active management of underlying futures and swaps. The product's exposure to commodity futures indices, which themselves can be complex due to roll costs, contango, and backwardation effects, further adds to complexity. All these factors combined lead to a classification of 'complex' under MiFID II rules."
