    "supporting_data": "The WisdomTree Long GBP Short USD 3x Daily product is a Jersey law governed, fully collateralised Exchange Traded Product (ETP) that provides 3x leveraged exposure to GBP relative to USD through synthetic replication using unfunded swap agreements. The product tracks the MSFXSM Triple Long British Pound Total Return Index, which is based on FX forward contracts. The use of swaps is explicit, with collateral held at The Bank of New York Mellon to mitigate counterparty risk, but counterparty exposure remains a key risk factor. The product is not UCITS compliant, reflecting its complexity and risk profile. The leverage factor of 3x, daily reset mechanism, and compounding effects introduce significant complexity and risk, including the possibility of returns deviating from the simple multiple of the underlying index over periods longer than one day. The risk indicator is at the highest level (7/7), and the product is intended only for informed investors with specific knowledge of leveraged and derivative products. The product is structured as a debt security, not as shares, and involves synthetic replication via swaps rather than physical holdings. There are no capital protection features, but significant counterparty and liquidity risks are disclosed. Costs include management fees and transaction costs related to the underlying swaps. The PRIIPs KID and monthly factsheet confirm the synthetic, leveraged nature and the use of unfunded swaps, reinforcing the classification as complex under MiFID II. The product's complexity arises from leverage, synthetic replication via swaps, counterparty risk, and the daily compounding and reset features, which make it difficult for retail investors to understand and assess risk accurately."
