    "supporting_data": "The product is a WisdomTree PHLX Semiconductor 3x Daily Short ETP, UCITS eligible, designed to provide -3x daily leveraged inverse exposure to the PHLX Semiconductor Sector Gross Total Return Index. It is a fully collateralised, English law governed, certificated, registered, collateralised debt security. The replication method is synthetic, as the product provides exposure through a collateralised debt security rather than physical holdings. The product uses leverage (3x inverse exposure) with daily reset, which introduces compounding effects and complexity in returns over periods longer than one day. The risk indicator is at the highest level (7/7), indicating very high risk. The product documentation explicitly states it is 'not simple and may be difficult to understand' and is intended for informed investors with specific knowledge or experience. There is no mention of swap agreements or total return swaps explicitly, but the structure as a collateralised debt security with leveraged inverse exposure implies use of derivatives. The product is not physically replicating the index but synthetically tracking it with leverage and inverse exposure. The costs include significant transaction costs (3.74% annually) reflecting active management of underlying derivative positions. The product carries counterparty risk inherent in the issuer structure and collateralisation. The daily reset and leverage amplify risk and complexity, making the product unsuitable for typical retail investors without specific knowledge. These factors combined meet MiFID II criteria for classification as a complex financial instrument."
