    "supporting_data": "The GraniteShares 3x Short Palantir Daily ETP Securities is an exchange traded product (ETP) that seeks to replicate -3 times the daily performance of Palantir via the Solactive Daily Leveraged 3x Short Palantir Index. The product uses a funded swap agreement with Natixis as the swap provider, confirmed by explicit references to 'swap with Natixis' and collateral held in a segregated account. The replication method is synthetic, relying on derivative instruments rather than physical holdings. The product employs 3x leverage and inverse exposure, with daily reset of leverage causing a compounding effect that can significantly deviate returns over periods longer than one day. The risk indicator is at the highest level (7 out of 7), indicating very high risk and complexity. The product is not UCITS compliant. The KIID explicitly states the product is 'not simple and may be difficult to understand' and is intended for investors with specific knowledge and experience. Counterparty risk is present due to reliance on the swap provider, although mitigated by collateral arrangements. Costs include portfolio transaction costs and other ongoing costs, but no performance fees. The product\u2019s complexity is driven primarily by its synthetic replication via swaps, high leverage and inverse exposure, and the daily compounding effect, all of which make it difficult for retail investors to understand and manage risk. These factors align with MiFID II criteria for classification as a complex financial instrument."
