    "supporting_data": "The product is a 5x leveraged Exchange Traded Product (ETP) that physically holds the underlying iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF shares and uses margin borrowing to achieve 5 times daily exposure. There is no use of synthetic replication or swap agreements, and no derivatives are used as an inherent part of the strategy, only physical ownership of the underlying ETF shares. The leverage factor of 5x and daily rebalancing with compounding effects significantly increase complexity and risk. The product is explicitly intended for sophisticated investors able to monitor positions daily and understand leverage and compounding risks. The risk indicator is at the highest level (7/7), indicating very high risk. The product is not UCITS compliant and is structured as a collateralised ETP security with no capital protection. The PRIIPs KID and factsheet confirm no swap usage or derivative instruments inherent to the strategy, but margin borrowing is used to amplify exposure. The complexity arises primarily from the leverage, daily rebalancing, compounding effects, and the sophisticated knowledge required to understand the product, not from derivative or swap usage. The product\u2019s risk profile and investor warnings align with MiFID II complexity criteria for leveraged products. Therefore, despite physical replication and no derivatives, the high leverage and associated risks classify this ETP as complex under MiFID II."
