    "supporting_data": "The product is a GraniteShares 3x Long Lloyds Banking Group Daily ETP, which seeks to replicate 3 times the daily performance of Lloyds Banking Group shares via the Solactive Daily Leveraged 3x Long Lloyds Banking Group PLC Index. The replication is achieved synthetically through a collateralised swap agreement with Natixis, explicitly described as a swap-backed product with collateral held at BNY Mellon. The product uses leverage of 3x daily, 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 three. The risk indicator is at the highest level (7/7), indicating very high risk and complexity. The product is not UCITS compliant and is explicitly described as not simple and difficult to understand, intended only for investors with specific knowledge and experience. The presence of a funded swap, counterparty risk, daily leverage, and synthetic replication are all complexity triggers under MiFID II. The product also carries warnings about potential total loss of capital and the impact of volatility on returns due to daily compounding. No capital protection or principal guarantee is provided. The costs include swap fees embedded in ongoing costs. The product is classified as an ETP, not an ETF, and the use of derivatives is inherent to the investment strategy rather than risk management. These factors combined lead to a classification of 'complex' under MiFID II."
