    "supporting_data": "The WisdomTree STOXX Europe Aerospace & Defence 3x Daily Short is an Exchange Traded Product (ETP) structured as a fully collateralised debt security that provides -3x daily leveraged short exposure to the STOXX Europe Total Market Aerospace & Defense Gross Total Return Index. The product uses synthetic replication via fully collateralised swap agreements, explicitly confirmed by the factsheet stating 'Replication Method: Fully Collateralised Swap' and references to swap counterparties and collateral management. The product is not UCITS compliant, although it is UCITS eligible. It employs leverage at a ratio of -3x, with daily reset of leverage causing compounding effects that can significantly deviate returns over periods longer than one day. The KIID and PRIIPs KID both highlight significant counterparty risk due to reliance on swap counterparties, collateral held to mitigate this risk, and the product's structure as a debt security rather than equity. The risk indicator is at the highest level (7/7), indicating very high risk. The product is intended for informed or sophisticated investors with specific knowledge of leveraged and inverse products, and it carries warnings about the complexity of daily leverage, compounding, and the potential for magnified losses. The use of swaps, leverage, inverse exposure, and the complex daily reset mechanism, combined with counterparty and liquidity risks, firmly place this product in the MiFID II 'complex' category. There is no indication that derivatives are used solely for risk management; rather, they are fundamental to the product's strategy. The product also involves costs related to swap fees and transaction costs, further adding to complexity. The underlying index is a sector-specific equity index, but the product's structure and leverage dominate the complexity assessment. The product is not a simple physical replication ETF but a synthetic, leveraged, inverse ETP with significant derivative and counterparty risk exposure."
