    "classification": "complex",
    "supporting_data": "The WisdomTree Soybeans - EUR Daily Hedged product is a UCITS eligible Exchange Traded Commodity (ETC) that provides total return exposure to soybean futures contracts, currency hedged to EUR. The product is described as a fully collateralised, Jersey law governed, uncertificated, registered, collateralised debt security, indicating it is not a physical ETF but an ETC. The replication method is synthetic, achieved through exposure to futures contracts rather than direct physical ownership of soybeans. The KIID explicitly mentions the impact of rolling futures contracts, which introduces complexity through contango and backwardation effects. The product carries counterparty risk as it is a debt security issued by a special purpose vehicle, with no investor compensation scheme protection. The risk indicator is medium (4/7), but the product is described as 'not simple and may be difficult to understand,' and intended for investors with specific knowledge or experience. 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 collateralised debt security structure and synthetic replication via futures contracts, combined with currency hedging and roll costs, contribute to the product's complexity under MiFID II. The PRIIPs KID and factsheet confirm the use of futures and collateralisation, with no mention of swaps per se, but the synthetic nature and counterparty risk remain. Therefore, the product meets the criteria for classification as complex under MiFID II."
