    "supporting_data": "The WisdomTree Copper IE is an Exchange Traded Commodity (ETC) that provides total return exposure to copper via the Solactive HG Copper Commodity Futures SL Index, which tracks front-month COMEX copper futures contracts. The product uses a fully funded synthetic replication method through collateralised swap agreements with counterparties, as explicitly stated in the factsheet and KIID. The product is structured as a debt security, not as an ETF or equity fund, and is not UCITS compliant. The KIID and factsheet highlight significant counterparty risk, collateral management, and liquidity risks associated with the swap structure. The product's performance depends on futures contracts that require rolling, which introduces complexity through roll costs, contango, and backwardation effects. The risk indicator is medium-high (5/7), and the product is described as 'not simple and may be difficult to understand,' with specific warnings about the need for investor knowledge and experience. There is no leverage or inverse exposure, but the synthetic swap-based structure and commodity futures exposure make the product complex under MiFID II. The use of derivatives is inherent to the investment strategy, not merely for risk management, confirming the classification as complex."
