    "supporting_data": "The Leverage Shares 3x Long ARK Innovation ETP is classified as complex due to its 3x leverage factor, 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, which can significantly alter returns over longer holding periods, adds another layer of complexity. The risk indicator is rated 7 out of 7, the highest possible, indicating extreme risk. While the replication method is physical, the leverage and the associated risks make it unsuitable for retail investors without specialized knowledge. The product also warns that holding it for more than one day can result in returns that differ significantly from 3 times the underlying asset's return due to the compounding effect.",
    "confidence": 95,
    "counter_argument": "The ETP uses physical replication and does not explicitly use derivatives or swaps, which might suggest it is non-complex. However, the leverage factor and the compounding effect introduce significant complexity and risk, overriding the simplicity of physical replication. The high-risk profile and the explicit warning that the product is not simple and may be difficult to understand further support the classification as complex under MiFID II."
