    "supporting_data": "The Leverage Shares 3x Long Exxon (XOM) ETP is classified as complex due to its 3x leverage, which amplifies both gains and losses. The product explicitly states it is designed for sophisticated investors who understand the risks of leverage and daily rebalancing. The compounding effect, high risk indicator (7 out of 7), and the potential for significant losses due to volatility and leverage make it unsuitable for retail investors without specialized knowledge. The product's structure, while using physical replication, involves margin borrowing to achieve leverage, which introduces additional complexity. The KIID explicitly warns that the product is not simple and may be difficult to understand, further supporting its classification as complex under MiFID II.",
    "confidence": 95,
    "risk_level": 7,
    "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 leverage factor of 3x and the associated risks of compounding and volatility override this argument, as the product's performance is not linear and requires sophisticated understanding.",
    "additional_notes": "The product is not UCITS-compliant, which often correlates with higher complexity. The recommended holding period of 1 day and the explicit warnings about the risks of leverage and compounding further justify the complex classification."
