    "classification": "complex",
    "supporting_data": "The WisdomTree Bloomberg WTI Crude Oil product is an Exchange Traded Commodity (ETC) that provides total return exposure to WTI Crude Oil futures via a fully collateralised swap structure. The replication method is synthetic, confirmed by explicit references to 'fully collateralised swap' and 'backed by swaps' in the factsheet and KIID. The product is structured as a debt security, not a UCITS fund, and is not UCITS compliant. The product carries significant counterparty risk as the issuer relies on swap counterparties, with collateral held to mitigate but not eliminate this risk. The risk indicator is high (6 out of 7), reflecting the complexity and volatility of commodity futures exposure, including risks from rolling futures contracts (roll costs, contango). There is no leverage or inverse exposure, but the use of derivatives (swaps) as an inherent part of the investment strategy, combined with the debt security structure and counterparty risk, classifies this product as complex under MiFID II. The product is also described as 'not simple and may be difficult to understand' and intended for investors with specific knowledge or experience, further supporting the complexity classification."
