    "supporting_data": "The WisdomTree Brent Crude Oil - EUR Daily Hedged product is an Exchange Traded Commodity (ETC) that provides total return exposure to Brent Crude Oil futures contracts, currency hedged in EUR. It is a Jersey law governed, collateralised debt security, UCITS eligible. The product uses synthetic replication by tracking a futures-based index (Bloomberg Brent Crude Oil Multi-Tenor EUR Daily-Hedged Total Return Index) rather than physical commodity ownership. The KIID explicitly states the product is 'not simple and may be difficult to understand' and highlights risks related to rolling futures contracts, contango, and backwardation effects, which add complexity. The product is exposed to counterparty risk due to its collateralised debt security structure. The risk indicator is high (6 out of 7), reflecting the volatile nature of commodity futures and the structural risks. There is no leverage or inverse exposure, but the use of derivatives is inherent and 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 contracts. The product is not capital protected and carries significant market and issuer risk. These factors combined meet MiFID II criteria for classification as a complex financial instrument."
