    "supporting_data": "The WisdomTree California Carbon ETC is classified as complex primarily due to its synthetic replication method using fully collateralised swaps to track the Solactive California Carbon Rolling Futures Total Return Index. Key factors include: 1) The use of swap agreements to achieve exposure to carbon futures contracts, 2) The inherent complexity of rolling futures contracts which introduces roll costs and potential contango/backwardation effects, 3) Significant counterparty risk exposure despite collateralisation, 4) The product's structure as a debt security rather than a traditional fund, and 5) The need for investors to understand commodity futures market dynamics. While the product is UCITS eligible, it is not UCITS compliant, and the PRIIPs KID explicitly states 'You are about to purchase a product that is not simple and may be difficult to understand,' which is a strong indicator of complexity under MiFID II. The risk indicator of 4/7 and the detailed disclosures about counterparty risk and collateral management further support this classification.",

The fact that it is structured as a debt security rather than a traditional fund adds another layer of complexity for retail investors."
