    "supporting_data": "The WisdomTree Bloomberg WTI Crude Oil ETC uses synthetic replication via swap agreements to track the Bloomberg WTI Crude Oil Subindex, which includes exposure to WTI Crude Oil futures contracts. The KIID explicitly states the product is 'not simple and may be difficult to understand,' which is a MiFID II complexity indicator. The PRIIPs KID confirms the use of a 'fully collateralised swap' structure, introducing counterparty risk. While the ETC is UCITS-eligible, it is not UCITS-compliant, and the risk profile (6/7) is high. The underlying index's roll return and contango/backwardation effects add complexity. The ETC's debt security structure and reliance on swap counterparties further support the 'complex' classification.",
    "confidence": 95,
    "counter_argument": "One might argue the ETC is non-complex due to its full collateralisation and transparency, but the MiFID II framework prioritises the use of derivatives for replication over physical assets, which inherently increases complexity for retail investors.",
    "risk_level_assessment": "The high risk rating (6/7) aligns with the complexity classification, as the ETC's performance is tied to commodity futures, which are volatile and subject to roll costs, contango, and counterparty risks."
