    "supporting_data": "The Leverage Shares -3x Short China ETP is classified as complex due to its -3x inverse leverage, which introduces significant risk and requires sophisticated understanding of daily rebalancing and compounding effects. The product explicitly states it is not simple and may be difficult to understand, targeting only sophisticated investors. The high risk indicator (7/7) and the potential for substantial losses, including the possibility of losing the entire investment, further support this classification. The use of short positions and the compounding effect, which can lead to unexpected returns over longer holding periods, add to the complexity. Additionally, the product's structure as a debt security with collateralized assets and the lack of capital protection contribute to its complex nature.",
    "confidence": 95,
    "risk_level": 7,
    "counter_argument": "While the ETP uses physical replication and does not explicitly mention swaps or other derivatives beyond short selling, the leverage and inverse exposure inherently introduce complexity. The daily rebalancing and compounding effects are not straightforward and require a deep understanding of financial markets, making it unsuitable for retail investors without specialized knowledge. The high-risk profile and the potential for significant losses further justify the complex classification under MiFID II."
