    "supporting_data": "The WisdomTree Natural Gas - EUR Daily Hedged product is an Exchange Traded Commodity (ETC) that provides exposure to Natural Gas futures contracts through a fully collateralised, UCITS eligible structure. The product replicates the Bloomberg Natural Gas Sub Euro Hedged Daily Total Return Index by tracking futures contracts rather than physical assets, indicating synthetic replication. The KIID explicitly states it is a Jersey law governed collateralised debt security, which inherently involves counterparty risk and complexity beyond a simple physical ETF. The product uses futures contracts with daily rolling, which introduces roll costs and contango/backwardation effects, adding to complexity. The risk indicator is high (6 out of 7), reflecting the volatile nature of commodity futures and the structural risks of the product. The document warns that the product is 'not simple and may be difficult to understand' and is intended for investors with specific knowledge or experience. There is no leverage or inverse exposure, but the use of derivatives is fundamental to the product's strategy, not merely for risk management. The collateralised debt security structure and synthetic replication via futures contracts classify this product as complex under MiFID II. The PRIIPs KID and factsheet confirm the use of futures and collateralisation, with no indication of physical replication or direct ownership of natural gas assets. The product's complexity arises from its synthetic exposure, counterparty risk, and the nature of commodity futures markets, including roll costs and currency hedging. Therefore, despite being UCITS eligible, the product is complex due to its structure and underlying asset exposure."
