    "supporting_data": "The product is a Collateralised Exchange Traded Security (ETP) that seeks to provide -1 times the daily performance of Baidu, Inc. ADR, tracking the Solactive Inverse Leveraged -1x BIDU Index. The replication method is physical, holding the underlying Baidu ADR shares and cash collateral, with no use of swaps or derivatives for replication. However, the product is inherently leveraged with an inverse exposure (-1x), involving short selling and stock borrow costs, which introduces complexity. The product features daily rebalancing and compounding effects that cause returns over periods longer than one day to deviate from a simple linear inverse of the underlying asset, increasing complexity and risk. The risk indicator is high (6 out of 7), and the product is intended only for sophisticated investors able to monitor positions daily. There is no capital protection, and the product may be difficult to understand due to leverage, inverse exposure, and compounding effects. The product is not UCITS compliant. No swaps or derivative instruments are used inherently in the strategy, but the short exposure and leverage make it complex under MiFID II. The PRIIPs KID and factsheet confirm no swap usage but emphasize the complexity of the inverse leveraged strategy and the risks involved. Therefore, despite physical replication and no derivatives usage for replication, the leverage, inverse exposure, and compounding effects classify this ETP as complex under MiFID II."
