    "classification": "complex",
    "supporting_data": "The WisdomTree Petroleum 2x Daily Leveraged product is a fully collateralised Exchange Traded Commodity (ETC) that provides 2x leveraged exposure to the Bloomberg Petroleum Sub Excess Return Index. It uses a synthetic replication method via fully funded collateralised swaps with swap counterparties, as explicitly stated in the factsheet and KIID. The product is not UCITS compliant. The leverage factor is 2x daily, with daily reset and compounding effects, which introduces complexity in return profiles over periods longer than one day. The product carries significant counterparty risk due to reliance on swap counterparties, mitigated by collateral held at a custodian but still a material risk. The underlying index tracks petroleum futures contracts that are rolled regularly, exposing investors to roll costs, contango, and backwardation effects, which add further complexity. The risk indicator is at the highest level 7/7, indicating very high risk. The product is explicitly described as not simple and difficult to understand, intended only for informed investors with specific knowledge of leveraged ETCs and derivatives. There are no capital protection features. Costs include management fees and transaction costs related to the underlying swaps and futures. The product is structured as a debt security, not as an equity ETF, which adds to complexity. All these factors combined meet MiFID II criteria for classification as a complex financial instrument."
