    "supporting_data": "The Leverage Shares -3x Short Semiconductors ETP is classified as complex due to several key factors. Firstly, it employs a -3x daily inverse leverage on the VanEck Vectors Semiconductor ETF, which introduces significant complexity through amplified returns and compounding effects. The product explicitly states that holding it for more than one day will result in returns that differ from the expected -3x multiple due to daily rebalancing, a concept that requires sophisticated understanding. Additionally, the risk indicator is rated at the highest level (7 out of 7), and the product is explicitly stated to be intended only for sophisticated investors who can monitor their investment frequently. The presence of a 'comprehension warning' in the PRIIPs KID further underscores its complexity. While the replication method is physical, the leverage and inverse exposure mechanisms inherently make the product complex under MiFID II rules.",
    "confidence": 95,
    "counter_argument": "Some might argue that the physical replication method and the absence of explicit swap usage could suggest a non-complex classification. However, the leverage and inverse exposure, combined with the high risk profile and the need for sophisticated investor understanding, override these factors. The daily compounding effect and the potential for significant losses due to leverage make it unsuitable for retail investors without specialized knowledge.",
