    "supporting_data": "The product is a Collateralised Exchange Traded Security (ETP) that physically holds short positions in PayPal Holdings, Inc. stock and cash balances in a margin account, with no use of derivatives or swaps for replication. The replication method is physical, owning the underlying securities shorted. The product provides -1x inverse daily exposure to PayPal stock, i.e., it is an inverse leveraged product with a leverage factor of -1x. The product explicitly warns about daily rebalancing and compounding effects that cause returns over periods longer than one day to deviate from the simple inverse of the underlying asset's return. The risk indicator is high (6 out of 7), reflecting the amplified risk due to leverage and inverse exposure. The product is not UCITS compliant and is targeted at sophisticated investors able to monitor positions daily. There is no capital protection, and investors may lose all their investment. The product involves stock borrow costs and margin account collateralization, which add complexity. No synthetic replication, swaps, or derivatives are used inherently in the strategy, but the short selling and leverage features, combined with daily compounding and inverse exposure, drive the complexity classification under MiFID II. The PRIIPs KID and factsheet confirm no derivative or swap usage for replication, but emphasize the complexity of the leveraged inverse exposure and the risks of compounding and daily rebalancing. Therefore, despite physical replication and no derivatives, the leverage and inverse nature, plus the sophisticated risk profile, classify this ETP as complex under MiFID II."
