    "supporting_data": "The WisdomTree Sugar ETC is classified as complex under MiFID II due to several key factors: 1) It uses synthetic replication via swaps to achieve exposure to sugar futures, which introduces counterparty risk and requires understanding of derivative mechanics. 2) The product's performance is affected by contango/backwardation effects in the futures market, adding complexity beyond simple price tracking. 3) While the ETC is fully collateralized and UCITS-eligible, the use of swaps and futures-based replication creates a risk profile that may not be easily understood by retail investors. 4) The PRIIPs KID includes a comprehension warning, reinforcing the complexity assessment. 5) The underlying index (Bloomberg Commodity Sugar Subindex) involves continuous rolling of futures contracts, which introduces additional risks and requires specialized knowledge to understand fully. The fact that the product is structured as a debt security (ETC) rather than a traditional equity-based ETF also contributes to its complexity.",
