    "classification": "complex",
    "supporting_data": "The WisdomTree Corn - EUR Daily Hedged product is a UCITS eligible Exchange Traded Commodity (ETC) that provides total return exposure to corn futures contracts, currency hedged in EUR. It is structured as a Jersey law governed, collateralised debt security, which inherently involves counterparty and collateral management risks. The product tracks a Bloomberg Corn Sub Euro Hedged Daily Total Return Index, which is based on futures contracts rather than physical assets, indicating synthetic replication. The KIID explicitly states the product is 'not simple and may be difficult to understand,' and highlights risks related to rolling futures contracts, which can cause tracking error due to contango or backwardation. The risk indicator is 5 out of 7, a medium-high risk level, reflecting the complexity of the underlying commodity futures exposure and the collateralised debt security structure. There is no leverage or inverse exposure, but the use of derivatives (futures) is fundamental to the product's strategy, not merely for risk management. The product also involves currency hedging, adding another layer of complexity. Costs include transaction costs related to buying and selling futures, and ongoing management fees. The product is not capital protected and may lose all invested capital in adverse market conditions. These factors combined\u2014synthetic replication via futures, collateralised debt security structure, counterparty risk, and commodity futures roll complexity\u2014drive the classification as a complex financial instrument under MiFID II."
