    "supporting_data": "The WisdomTree Nickel 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 nickel futures, which introduces significant counterparty risk and complexity in tracking the Bloomberg Nickel Subindex. The daily compounding effect and the need to understand futures rolling costs (contango/backwardation) make the product's performance difficult for retail investors to predict. The high risk rating (7/7) and warnings about potential capital loss further support the complex classification. The product is explicitly stated to be for informed investors with specific knowledge, reinforcing its complex nature.",

The reliance on swap agreements and the potential for significant tracking error due to futures rolling costs further contribute to its complexity. The fact that it is not UCITS-compliant and carries a high-risk warning aligns with MiFID II's criteria for complex products."
