    "classification": "complex",
    "supporting_data": "The WisdomTree Aluminium - EUR Daily Hedged product is a UCITS eligible Exchange Traded Commodity (ETC) that provides total return exposure to aluminium futures contracts, currency hedged in EUR. The product is described as a fully collateralised, Jersey law governed, uncertificated, registered, collateralised debt security, indicating it is not a traditional ETF but an ETC. The replication method is synthetic, achieved through tracking the Bloomberg Aluminum Sub Euro Hedged Daily Total Return Index, which is based on futures contracts rather than physical aluminium holdings. The KIID explicitly mentions the impact of rolling futures contracts, which introduces complexity through contango and backwardation effects. The product exposes investors to counterparty risk as the issuer is a special purpose vehicle, and payments depend on the issuer's ability to meet obligations from secured property. The risk indicator is medium (4/7), but the product is noted 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) and the collateralised debt security structure, combined with the complexity of commodity futures roll and counterparty risk, drive the classification as complex under MiFID II. Costs include transaction costs related to buying and selling underlying futures, further indicating derivative usage. No capital protection or structured features are present, and no leverage is applied. Overall, the synthetic replication via futures, collateralised debt security nature, and counterparty risk exposure are the main complexity drivers."
