    "supporting_data": "The WisdomTree Lean Hogs ETC is classified as complex due to several key factors. It uses a synthetic replication method via fully funded swaps to track the Bloomberg Commodity Lean Hogs Subindex 4W Total Return Index, which involves futures contracts and a rolling mechanism. The presence of swap agreements and the need to manage roll costs, contango, and backwardation introduce additional layers of complexity that may not be easily understood by retail investors. The ETC is also exposed to counterparty risk, as highlighted in the risk disclosures, and the collateral management process adds another layer of complexity. The high risk rating of 6 out of 7 further supports the classification as a complex instrument. While the ETC does not employ leverage or inverse strategies, the underlying mechanics of futures rolling and the synthetic replication via swaps are sufficient to warrant a complex classification under MiFID II.",
