    "supporting_data": "The Leverage Shares 3x Long Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM) ETP is classified as complex due to its 3x leverage, which amplifies both gains and losses. The product explicitly states it is not simple and may be difficult to understand, targeting only sophisticated investors. The compounding effect from daily rebalancing introduces additional complexity, as returns over longer periods may deviate significantly from 3x the underlying asset's performance. The risk indicator is the highest (7 out of 7), and the product is structured as a debt security with margin borrowing to achieve leverage. While it uses physical replication, the leverage and associated risks make it unsuitable for retail investors without specialized knowledge.",
    "confidence": 95,

    "comprehension_warning": true,
    "counter_argument": "The ETP uses physical replication and does not explicitly rely on derivatives or swaps for its leverage, which could suggest a non-complex classification. However, the 3x leverage and the compounding effect introduce significant complexity, making it difficult for retail investors to fully understand the risks and potential outcomes. The high-risk profile and the explicit warning that the product is not simple override the physical replication aspect.",
    "additional_notes": "The product's factsheet confirms the use of margin borrowing to achieve leverage, which, while not a derivative, still introduces complexity through amplified risk and the need for daily monitoring. The lack of UCITS compliance further supports the complex classification."
