    "supporting_data": "The product is a Collateralised Exchange Traded Security (ETP) designed to provide -3 times the daily return of the iShares Core DAX UCITS ETF (DE). It uses physical replication by holding short positions in the underlying ETF shares and cash balances, with no indication of synthetic replication or swap usage. The leverage factor is -3x, indicating triple inverse exposure, which is a key complexity driver. 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 expected multiple of the underlying ETF's performance. The risk indicator is high (6 out of 7), reflecting the amplified risk from leverage and inverse exposure. The product is not UCITS compliant and is intended for sophisticated investors able to monitor positions daily. There is no capital protection, and investors can lose the entire investment. No derivative instruments are used inherently in the strategy, but the leverage and inverse exposure, combined with daily compounding and short selling, create complexity. The product is classified as complex under MiFID II because of the leverage, inverse exposure, and the nature of the product's return profile, which is non-linear and difficult for retail investors to understand. No swap agreements or derivative counterparty risks are mentioned, and the replication is physical, but the leverage and inverse short strategy alone suffice to classify it as complex."
