    "supporting_data": "The WisdomTree Natural Gas product is a UCITS eligible Exchange Traded Commodity (ETC) that provides total return exposure to Natural Gas futures via a fully collateralised swap structure. The replication method is synthetic, using fully funded swaps to track the Bloomberg Commodity Natural Gas Subindex 4W Total Return Index. The product is structured as a debt security, not an ETF, and involves counterparty risk from swap counterparties, mitigated by collateral held at a custodian. The product documentation explicitly states the use of swaps and derivative instruments as inherent to the investment strategy, not merely for risk management. The product carries a high risk rating of 6 out of 7, reflecting the volatility and complexity of commodity futures exposure, including roll costs and contango/backwardation effects that can cause tracking deviations. There is no leverage or inverse exposure, but the synthetic swap structure and commodity futures exposure make the product complex under MiFID II. The product is not capital protected and investors may lose their entire investment. The PRIIPs KID also includes a comprehension warning indicating the product is 'not simple and may be difficult to understand,' reinforcing the complexity classification. Overall, the key complexity drivers are the synthetic replication via swaps, counterparty risk, commodity futures exposure with roll yield effects, and the debt security legal form."
