        "supporting_data": "The product is identified as a 'WisdomTree Wheat 3x Daily Leveraged' Exchange Traded Commodity (ETC), not a UCITS ETF, immediately overriding the UCITS presumption of non-complexity. The ETC's objective is to provide 3 times the daily performance of the Bloomberg Wheat Sub Excess Return Index. This constitutes significant leverage (3x daily), which is a key indicator of complexity under MiFID II rules (Rule 5). The product uses futures contracts to achieve its investment objective, indicating synthetic replication (Rule 3) and an integral use of derivatives (Rule 2). The document explicitly highlights the 'compounding effect' due to the daily reset of the leverage factor, meaning that the product's return over periods longer than one day will not be simply 3 times the index return. This feature, along with the mention of 'rolling' of futures contracts (implying roll costs, contango, or backwardation effects), makes the product's payoff and risk profile inherently difficult for a retail investor with basic knowledge to understand (Rule 4). Furthermore, the product is described as a 'collateralised debt security', which falls under 'other forms of securitised debt' that embed derivatives or are structured in a complex way, reinforcing its complex nature as per CESR/09-295 Section 2. The Key Information Document (KID) itself includes the mandatory comprehension alert: 'You are about to purchase a product that is not simple and may be difficult to understand' (Rule 7), confirming the manufacturer's classification of the product as complex. The intended retail investor is described as needing 'specific knowledge or experience of investing in similar products and in financial markets', aligning with the assessment that this product is not easily comprehensible for an average retail investor."
