        "supporting_data": "The GraniteShares 3x Short Apple Daily ETP is a leveraged and inverse ETP. Based on the provided KID information, several factors contribute to its complex classification under MiFID II. The product's objective is to replicate the inverse of the Apple stock index and it uses a 3x leverage factor. The ETP uses swaps with Natixis (the u201cSwap Provideru201d) to achieve this objective, not holding the underlying securities. The daily reset of the leverage factor results in a compounding effect, which makes the return deviate significantly from the performance of the underlying asset, adding further risk and opacity to the product's structure. The KID explicitly states that it's a complex product that may be difficult to understand, with a risk indicator of 7 out of 7. The PRIIP manufacturer has included a comprehension alert in the KID, which warns investors of the products complexity. This structure means the ETP's risks (counterparty and collateral) are not easily understood by retail investors, supporting the 'complex' classification. The document states that this product does not have a fixed term and the term will depend on how long the investor chooses to hold the product. This also adds to the lack of simplicity. The fact it's a leveraged product backed by a swap and designed to have inverse exposure makes it complex. The ESMA document ESMA35-36-1640 reinforces the need to understand the risks involved. The document states 'Where the appropriateness test applies, it requires a firm to seek information from a client or potential client about his knowled ge and experience (i.e. ability to understand the risks about a specific type of investment product or service ).' ESMA considers financial instruments and or structured deposits which make it difficult for the client to understand the risk of return or the cost of exiting the investment product to be complex. ESMA also states, 'Bonds or other forms of securitised debt admitted to trading on a regulated market or on an equivalent t hird country market or on a MTF, excluding those that embed a derivative or incorporate a structure which makes it difficult for the client to under stand the risk involved' are non-complex, this ETF is in the complex category because it relies on derivatives to achieve it's objective."
