    "supporting_data": "The WisdomTree Copper - EUR Daily Hedged product is a UCITS eligible Exchange Traded Commodity (ETC) that provides total return exposure to copper futures contracts, currency hedged in EUR. It replicates the Bloomberg Copper Sub Euro Hedged Daily Total Return Index by tracking futures contracts rather than physical copper, indicating synthetic replication. The product is described as a collateralised debt security issued under Jersey law, which introduces counterparty risk and complexity beyond a straightforward physical ETF. The KIID explicitly states the product is 'not simple and may be difficult to understand' and warns that price changes in futures contracts may not correlate perfectly with the benchmark due to rolling futures, implying contango and backwardation effects. The risk indicator is 5 out of 7, a medium-high risk level, reflecting the complexity of futures exposure and issuer risk. There is no leverage or inverse exposure, but the use of derivatives (futures) is inherent to the product's strategy, not merely for risk management. The product does not have capital protection or structured features but involves complex commodity futures roll mechanics and currency hedging. The issuer is a special purpose vehicle, and investors bear counterparty risk if the issuer defaults. These factors combined meet MiFID II criteria for a complex financial instrument due to synthetic replication, derivative exposure, and counterparty risk. The PRIIPs KID and factsheet confirm these points and the absence of leverage or inverse exposure. Therefore, despite being UCITS eligible, the product's structure and underlying assets classify it as complex under MiFID II."
