    "supporting_data": "The Leverage Shares -3x Short Gold Miners ETP is classified as complex due to its -3x inverse leverage structure, which creates non-linear returns through daily rebalancing. The KIID explicitly states this is not a simple product and requires sophisticated investors who understand compounding effects and leverage risks. The risk indicator of 7/7 (highest) and warnings about potential complete loss of investment further support this classification. While it uses physical replication of the short position, the leverage mechanism and inverse exposure create complexity beyond standard ETF structures. The product's design inherently involves derivative-like behavior through short selling and leverage, even if not using traditional derivative contracts.",
    "confidence": 95,
    "counter_argument": "Some might argue the physical replication method suggests non-complex status, but the -3x inverse leverage and daily compounding effects create risks and return patterns that require specialist knowledge to understand, meeting MiFID II's complexity criteria. The product's own documentation emphasizes it is only suitable for sophisticated traders who can monitor positions intraday.",
