    "classification": "complex",
    "supporting_data": "The WisdomTree Cocoa 2x Daily Leveraged product is a fully collateralised Exchange Traded Commodity (ETC) that provides 2x leveraged exposure to the Bloomberg Cocoa Sub Excess Return Index. It uses a synthetic replication method via fully funded collateralised swap agreements, explicitly confirmed in the factsheet and KIID. The product is not UCITS compliant. The leverage factor of 2x and daily reset with compounding effects are clearly stated, which significantly increase complexity and risk. The product carries a highest risk rating of 7/7, indicating very high risk. The use of swaps introduces counterparty risk, mitigated by collateral held at a segregated custodian, but still a complexity factor. The product is exposed to commodity futures rolling effects such as contango and backwardation, which can cause tracking error and performance deviation over periods longer than one day. The KIID and factsheet warn that the product is intended for informed investors with specific knowledge of leveraged and synthetic ETCs, and that returns over periods longer than one day may deviate significantly from the expected 2x multiple due to daily compounding. There are no capital protection features. Costs include management fees and transaction costs related to the underlying swaps. The product is structured as a debt security, not as an equity fund or UCITS ETF. All these factors combined meet the MiFID II criteria for a complex financial instrument."
