    "supporting_data": "The WisdomTree Gold 2x Daily Leveraged ETC exhibits multiple complexity indicators under MiFID II. It uses synthetic replication via fully funded swaps to achieve 2x daily leveraged exposure to gold futures, which introduces significant counterparty risk and derivative complexity. The daily compounding effect and futures rolling mechanics create non-linear returns that may be difficult for retail investors to understand. The product's high risk rating (7/7), warnings about potential capital loss, and the need for daily monitoring further support its complex classification. The use of leverage and derivatives for purposes beyond simple replication, combined with the structured nature of the product, makes it unsuitable for classification as non-complex.",
    "confidence": 95,
    "counter_argument": "Some might argue that the product's transparency and exchange-traded nature could suggest non-complex status. However, the leverage component, synthetic replication method, and the explicit warnings in the KIID about the product's complexity for retail investors override this argument. The combination of leverage, derivatives, and the compounding effects of daily resets creates a product that requires sophisticated understanding, firmly placing it in the complex category under MiFID II.",
    "risk_level": 7,
    "comprehension_warning": true,
    "additional_notes": "The product's factsheet confirms the use of fully funded swaps and highlights the risks associated with leverage and futures rolling. The PRIIPs KID's highest risk rating and explicit warnings about the product's complexity further reinforce the complex classification. The daily reset mechanism and potential for significant tracking error over longer periods add to the complexity."
