    "supporting_data": "The GraniteShares 3x Short Rio Tinto Daily ETP is a collateralised Exchange Traded Product that seeks to replicate -3 times the daily performance of Rio Tinto plc via the Solactive Daily Leveraged 3x Short Rio Tinto plc Index. The product uses a funded swap agreement with Natixis as the swap counterparty, with collateral held at BNY Mellon, indicating synthetic replication. The product explicitly states leverage of -3x and inverse exposure, with daily reset and compounding effects that cause returns over periods longer than one day to deviate significantly from the underlying asset's performance multiplied by leverage. The risk indicator is at the highest level (7/7), reflecting very high risk and complexity. The product is not UCITS compliant. The KIID and factsheet highlight significant counterparty risk, leverage, and derivative use as inherent to the product's strategy, not merely for risk management. The product is intended only for sophisticated investors with specific knowledge, further indicating complexity. There are no capital protection features, but the presence of funded swaps, leverage, inverse exposure, and daily compounding effects all contribute to complexity under MiFID II. The product's costs include swap fees and ongoing derivative-related costs. Overall, the synthetic replication via funded swaps combined with leveraged inverse exposure and counterparty risk clearly classify this ETP as complex."
