    "supporting_data": "The WisdomTree Physical Silver ETC is classified as non-complex under MiFID II for the following reasons: 1) It uses physical replication (backed by allocated physical silver bars held by HSBC Bank plc), 2) There is no leverage, inverse exposure, or derivative usage beyond efficient portfolio management, 3) The investment objective is straightforward (tracking the silver spot price less fees), 4) The risk profile is transparent and easily understandable (medium-high risk rating of 5/7), 5) The product is UCITS-eligible (though not UCITS-compliant), and 6) The structure is simple (debt security with direct exposure to silver). The KIID and PRIIPs documents confirm no swap agreements, unfunded swaps, or synthetic replication. The only potential complexity factor is the debt security structure, but this is standard for ETCs and does not trigger complexity under MiFID II. The absence of derivatives, leverage, or inverse features, combined with the transparent physical backing, supports the non-complex classification.",
