    "supporting_data": "The LS Brent Oil ETC is classified as complex primarily due to its exposure to commodity futures and the associated risks of rolling futures contracts, which introduce complexities such as contango and backwardation effects. While the ETC is physically backed and does not use swaps or OTC derivatives, the underlying strategy involves continuous rolling of Brent Crude Oil futures, a process that requires understanding of futures market dynamics. The KIID explicitly states that the product is 'not simple and may be difficult to understand,' which aligns with MiFID II's criteria for complex instruments. Additionally, the high risk indicator (6 out of 7) and the potential for significant tracking error due to futures rolling further support this classification. Although the ETC is UCITS-eligible and does not employ leverage or inverse strategies, the inherent complexities of commodity futures trading justify its classification as a complex instrument.",
