    "supporting_data": "The product is a Collateralised Exchange Traded Security (ETP) that seeks to provide 3x the daily return of the iShares Core DAX UCITS ETF (DE) through physical ownership of the underlying ETF shares combined with margin borrowing. The replication method is physical, with direct ownership of the underlying ETF shares, and no indication of synthetic replication or swap usage. However, the product uses leverage (3x exposure) achieved by margin borrowing (Euro Short-Term Rate +1.5%) to purchase additional shares, which is a key complexity trigger under MiFID II. The product explicitly warns about the compounding effect due to daily rebalancing, which can cause returns over periods longer than one day to deviate significantly from the simple 3x multiple of the underlying ETF's return. The risk indicator is at the highest level (7/7), reflecting the high risk and complexity of leveraged daily rebalanced products. The product is not UCITS compliant itself (it is an ETP security), although it tracks a UCITS ETF. There is no use of derivatives or swaps as part of the investment strategy, only margin borrowing. The product is intended for sophisticated investors able to monitor positions daily, indicating complexity in understanding and managing the product. The PRIIPs KID and factsheet confirm no swap or derivative usage, but leverage and margin borrowing are present. The product is not capital protected and carries significant risk of loss, including total loss of investment. These factors combined\u2014leverage, daily compounding, margin borrowing, and high risk profile\u2014drive the classification as complex under MiFID II despite physical replication and no derivative usage."
