    "supporting_data": "The GraniteShares 3x Short Alibaba Daily ETP is a collateralised Exchange Traded Product that seeks to replicate -3 times the daily performance of Alibaba Group Holding Limited via the Solactive Daily Leveraged 3x Short Alibaba Index. The product uses a swap agreement with Natixis as the swap provider, indicating synthetic replication. The presence of a swap and collateralisation explicitly confirms derivative usage and counterparty risk. The product is leveraged at 3x 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. The risk indicator is at the highest level (7/7), and the product is explicitly described as not simple and difficult to understand, intended only for investors with specific knowledge and experience. The PRIIPs KID and factsheet confirm the use of swaps, leverage, inverse exposure, and collateralisation, all of which are complexity drivers under MiFID II. There is no capital protection, but the product carries significant counterparty risk and complex return dynamics due to leverage and daily resetting. The product is not UCITS compliant. These factors combined lead to a classification of 'complex' under MiFID II rules."
