    "supporting_data": "The Leverage Shares 3x Alphabet ETP is classified as complex due to its 3x leverage, which introduces significant risks and complexities such as the compounding effect and high volatility. The product is designed for sophisticated investors who understand leveraged returns and daily rebalancing. The risk indicator is at the highest level (7 out of 7), and the product explicitly states it is not simple and may be difficult to understand. The use of margin (borrowing) to achieve leverage, along with the potential for substantial losses, further supports this classification. While the replication method is physical, the leverage and associated risks make it a complex instrument under MiFID II.",
    "confidence": 95,
    "risk_level": 7,
    "counter_argument": "The ETP uses physical replication and does not explicitly use derivatives or swaps, which might suggest a non-complex classification. However, the leverage factor of 3x and the associated risks, including the compounding effect and high volatility, override this argument. The product's high-risk profile and the need for sophisticated investors to understand its mechanics justify the complex classification."
