    "supporting_data": "The WisdomTree WTI Crude Oil 3x Daily Short is an Exchange Traded Commodity (ETC) that provides -3x daily leveraged short exposure to the Solactive WTI Crude Oil Commodity Futures SL Index. The product uses fully collateralised swap agreements to synthetically replicate the index performance, explicitly confirmed by references to 'swaps', 'swap counterparties', and 'fully collateralised swap performance'. The product is not UCITS compliant and is structured as a debt security, not a fund or ETF. The leverage factor of -3x daily exposure and inverse positioning are clear complexity triggers. The product involves daily reset and compounding effects, which can cause returns over periods longer than one day to deviate significantly from the expected leveraged multiple, adding to complexity. The underlying index tracks commodity futures with rolling, which introduces roll costs and contango/backwardation risks, further complicating the return profile. The risk profile is at the highest level (7/7), indicating very high risk and complexity. Counterparty risk is significant due to reliance on swap counterparties, although mitigated by collateral held at a segregated custodian. The product is intended only for informed or sophisticated investors with specific knowledge of leveraged and inverse products. The PRIIPs KID and factsheet confirm the use of swaps, leverage, inverse exposure, and the synthetic nature of replication. These factors combined meet MiFID II criteria for classification as a complex financial instrument."
