        "classification": "complex",
        "supporting_data": "The product is classified as complex due to several key factors. Although it is 'UCITS eligible', which typically presumes non-complexity, this presumption is definitively overturned by its specific features. The ETC's investment objective is to provide 'total return exposure to Zinc futures contracts currency hedged in EUR'. The integral use of futures contracts (derivatives) to achieve its primary investment objective, rather than solely for efficient portfolio management, makes it complex. Futures contracts, as explicitly stated in CESR/09-295 (Section V, para 91), are considered complex instruments. Furthermore, the KID mentions 'rolling' of futures contracts, which implies exposure to 'roll costs', 'contango', or 'backwardation effects', which are indicators of complex structures that are difficult for retail investors to understand. The product is structured as a 'Jersey law governed, uncertificated, registered, collateralised debt security', which provides exposure to commodity futures and is inherently more complex than simple physical replication. The most compelling evidence of its complexity is the mandatory comprehension alert prominently displayed in the KID: 'You are about to purchase a product that is not simple and may be difficult to understand.' This alert is required for complex products under MiFID II Article 254 and Delegated Regulation EU 2017/565 Article 57 (Rule 7). The ESMA guidelines (CESR/09-295, Section VI, para 108) also note that ETCs structured in a way that combines features of contracts for differences (or similar derived instruments) will be treated as complex, which aligns with this product's structure as a collateralised debt security tracking futures performance."
