    "supporting_data": "The WisdomTree Sugar - EUR Daily Hedged ETC is classified as complex primarily due to its exposure to commodity futures and the inherent complexities of rolling futures contracts, which introduce risks such as contango and backwardation. Additionally, the product involves currency hedging, adding another layer of complexity. While it is UCITS compliant and does not use leverage or swaps, the underlying strategy of tracking a commodity futures index and the associated rolling costs make it difficult for retail investors to fully understand the risks and performance drivers. The KIID explicitly states that the product is 'not simple and may be difficult to understand,' which aligns with MiFID II's criteria for complex instruments.",
    "confidence": 85,
    "risk_level": 5,
    "counter_argument": "Some might argue that the ETC is non-complex because it does not use leverage or swaps and is UCITS compliant. However, the complexity arises from the nature of the underlying assets (commodity futures) and the rolling mechanism, which are not straightforward for retail investors to comprehend. The MiFID II classification is driven by the product's structure and the risks associated with futures-based strategies, not just the presence of derivatives."
