    "supporting_data": "The product is a 3x leveraged Exchange Traded Product (ETP) that physically holds the underlying VanEck Vectors Gold Miners ETF shares, using margin borrowing to achieve leverage rather than synthetic replication or swaps. The KIID and factsheet confirm physical replication with no use of derivatives or swap agreements as part of the investment strategy. However, the product employs daily leverage of 3 times the daily return of the underlying ETF, with a strong warning about the compounding effect and the risk of holding beyond one day. The risk indicator is at the highest level 7/7, reflecting the amplified risk due to leverage and daily rebalancing. The product is not UCITS compliant and is intended for sophisticated investors able to monitor positions daily. The complexity arises primarily from the leverage factor, daily rebalancing, and the compounding effect, which can cause returns over periods longer than one day to deviate significantly from the expected 3x multiple of the underlying ETF's performance. There is no capital protection, no use of derivatives or swaps, and no inverse exposure. The product is classified as complex under MiFID II because leverage above 1:1 is a key complexity trigger, and the product carries a high risk profile with significant potential for loss amplified by leverage and compounding. The absence of derivatives used for investment purposes (only margin borrowing) means derivatives = false, but leverage = true drives complexity classification. The product also carries explicit warnings that it is not simple and may be difficult to understand, reinforcing the complex classification."
