    "classification": "complex",
    "supporting_data": "The WisdomTree WTI Crude Oil - GBP Daily Hedged ETC is classified as complex under MiFID II due to several key factors. Firstly, it uses a synthetic replication method through fully collateralised swaps, which introduces counterparty risk and requires understanding of swap mechanics. The product tracks a complex commodity futures index (Bloomberg WTI Crude Oil Multi-Tenor GBP-Hedged Daily Index) that involves rolling futures contracts, exposing investors to roll costs, contango/backwardation effects, and other commodity-specific risks that may not be easily understood by retail investors. Additionally, the ETC includes daily currency hedging, adding another layer of complexity. While the product is UCITS-eligible, it is not UCITS-compliant, and the risk indicator is rated 6 out of 7, indicating high risk. The presence of counterparty risk from swap agreements and the need to understand commodity futures markets contribute to its complexity. The product also carries a warning that it 'may be difficult to understand,' which aligns with MiFID II's criteria for complex instruments.",
