    "supporting_data": "The WisdomTree Natural Gas 3x Daily Short is a fully collateralised Exchange Traded Commodity (ETC) that provides -3 times daily leveraged short exposure to the Solactive Natural Gas Commodity Futures SL Index. The product uses a fully collateralised swap structure to achieve its investment objective, explicitly referencing swap counterparties and collateral management. The leverage factor is -3x with daily reset, causing compounding effects that make returns over periods longer than one day non-linear and potentially unpredictable. The product is not UCITS compliant and is structured as a debt security, not a fund or ETF. The KIID and PRIIPs KID both highlight significant counterparty risk, derivative usage, and complexity due to leverage and inverse exposure. The risk indicator is at the highest level (7/7), reflecting the high risk and complexity. The product involves rolling commodity futures contracts, which introduces roll costs and contango risks, further complicating the return profile. The product is intended only for informed investors with specific knowledge of leveraged and inverse ETPs and is not suitable for retail investors without such expertise. These factors combined meet MiFID II criteria for classification as a complex financial instrument."
