    "supporting_data": "The product is a Collateralised Exchange Traded Security (ETP) designed to provide -3x the daily return of the VanEck Vectors Semiconductor ETF, indicating triple leverage and inverse exposure. The replication method is physical, as the ETP holds short positions in the underlying ETF shares and cash balances, with no mention of synthetic replication or swap agreements. There is no use of derivatives as an inherent part of the strategy, only physical short positions. The product is not UCITS compliant. The risk indicator is at the highest level 7/7, reflecting very high risk due to leverage and inverse exposure. The product documentation explicitly warns about the compounding effect from daily rebalancing, which can cause returns over periods longer than one day to deviate significantly from the expected -3x multiple. The product is intended for sophisticated investors able to monitor positions daily, highlighting complexity in understanding and managing the product. There is no capital protection, and investors can lose their entire investment. No swap or derivative fees are mentioned, and the costs are straightforward. The complexity arises primarily from the leverage, inverse exposure, daily rebalancing, and the short nature of the product, which can cause non-linear and difficult-to-predict returns. The product is classified as complex under MiFID II because of the leverage and inverse exposure, despite physical replication and no use of swaps or derivatives as part of the replication strategy."
