    "supporting_data": "The WisdomTree Lead ETC is classified as complex under MiFID II due to its synthetic replication method using swaps, exposure to commodity futures rolling risks (contango/backwardation), and counterparty risk from swap agreements. While the product is UCITS-eligible, it is not UCITS-compliant in its current structure. The use of derivatives is not merely for efficient portfolio management but is fundamental to the product's strategy, making it inherently complex. The risk profile involves market, liquidity, and counterparty risks that may not be easily understood by retail investors without specialized knowledge.",
