    "supporting_data": "The WisdomTree WTI Crude Oil ETC is classified as complex due to several key factors. Firstly, it uses synthetic replication via swap agreements to track the Bloomberg WTI Crude Oil Multi-Tenor 4W Total Return Index, which introduces counterparty risk and collateral management complexities. The ETC is exposed to the risks associated with rolling futures contracts, including contango and backwardation effects, which are not easily understood by retail investors. Additionally, the product's high-risk rating (6 out of 7) and the explicit warning that it is 'not simple and may be difficult to understand' further support its classification as complex. The presence of swap counterparties and the need for collateral management add layers of complexity that require specialized knowledge. While the ETC does not use leverage or inverse strategies, the combination of synthetic replication, futures rolling, and counterparty risks makes it a complex instrument under MiFID II.",
