    "supporting_data": "The WisdomTree STOXX Europe Travel & Leisure 2x Daily Short is an Exchange Traded Product (ETP) that provides a leveraged short exposure (-2x daily) to the STOXX Europe 600 Travel & Leisure Index. It uses a fully collateralised swap structure to achieve this exposure, explicitly referencing swap counterparties and collateral held at The Bank of New York Mellon. The product is not UCITS compliant and is structured as a debt security rather than an ETF. The leverage factor is reset daily, causing a compounding effect that makes returns over periods longer than one day deviate from a simple multiple of the index return. The product carries a highest risk rating of 7 out of 7, indicating very high risk. The KIID and PRIIPs documents emphasize the complexity of the product, the need for specific investor knowledge, and the risks related to counterparty exposure and liquidity. The product does not offer capital protection and may suffer from tracking error due to futures rolling and swap costs. The presence of leverage, inverse exposure, synthetic replication via swaps, and the complex nature of the underlying index exposure all contribute to the classification as a complex financial instrument under MiFID II. Despite being fully collateralised, the counterparty risk and the structural complexity inherent in daily leveraged inverse swap-based ETPs make this product unsuitable for retail investors without sophisticated understanding."
