    "supporting_data": "The WisdomTree Gold 3x Daily Short ETC is classified as complex under MiFID II due to multiple factors: 1) It uses 3x inverse leverage, which significantly amplifies risk and requires sophisticated understanding; 2) The product relies on synthetic replication via swaps, exposing investors to counterparty risk; 3) The underlying index (Solactive Gold Commodity Futures SL Index) is complex as it involves futures contracts with roll costs and contango/backwardation effects; 4) The product is not UCITS-compliant, indicating higher regulatory risk; 5) The daily compounding effect means performance diverges significantly from simple leveraged returns over time. The KIID explicitly states this is 'not a simple product' and requires specific investment knowledge, which aligns with MiFID II's complexity criteria. The PRIIPs KID also includes a comprehension warning, reinforcing the complexity assessment.",
