    "supporting_data": "The WisdomTree Brent Crude Oil Longer Dated product is an Exchange Traded Commodity (ETC) that provides total return exposure to Brent Crude Oil futures contracts by tracking a Bloomberg Commodity Brent Crude Subindex 3 Month Forward 4W Total Return Index. The product uses fully collateralised, synthetic replication through swap contracts rather than physical ownership of the commodity or futures. The replication method is explicitly described as 'synthetic - fully funded' with collateralised swap contracts to avoid physical delivery. The product is structured as a debt security, not as an ETF or equity fund, and is not UCITS compliant. The KIID and factsheet highlight significant counterparty risk due to reliance on swap counterparties, with collateral held to mitigate but not eliminate this risk. The product's value is affected by roll costs and market phenomena such as contango and backwardation, which add complexity to understanding performance. The risk indicator is high (6 out of 7), reflecting the volatile nature of commodity futures and the structural risks of the product. There is no leverage or inverse exposure, but the use of derivatives and swaps as an inherent part of the investment strategy, combined with the complex underlying index and counterparty risk, drives the classification as complex under MiFID II. The product also carries a comprehension warning and is described as 'not simple and may be difficult to understand,' reinforcing the complexity assessment."
