    "supporting_data": "The WisdomTree Energy Longer Dated ETC is classified as complex primarily due to its synthetic replication method using fully collateralised swaps to track the Bloomberg Commodity Energy Subindex 3 Month Forward 4W Total Return Index. Key complexity indicators include: (1) The use of swap agreements to achieve exposure, introducing counterparty risk; (2) The inherent complexity of commodity futures rolling and the associated contango/backwardation effects; (3) The need for investors to understand the mechanics of futures contracts and their rolling process; (4) The medium-high risk rating (5 out of 7) and explicit warnings about potential capital loss. While the ETC is UCITS-eligible and fully collateralised, the synthetic nature and the complexity of the underlying commodity futures strategy make it unsuitable for retail investors without specific knowledge of these instruments.",

    "additional_notes": "The PRIIPs KID explicitly states that the product is 'not simple and may be difficult to understand,' which aligns with the MiFID II complexity classification. The factsheet further confirms the use of swaps and the complexity of the underlying index, reinforcing the decision. The ETC's structure, while designed to mitigate some risks through collateralisation, still requires a sophisticated understanding of commodity futures markets and swap mechanics."
