    "classification": "complex",
    "supporting_data": "The WisdomTree S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures 2.25x Daily Leveraged ETP is classified as complex under MiFID II due to several key factors: 1) It uses 2.25x daily leverage, which amplifies both gains and losses and requires sophisticated understanding of compounding effects. 2) The product uses synthetic replication via swap agreements to achieve its exposure, introducing counterparty risk. 3) The underlying asset (VIX futures) is inherently complex due to its volatility and roll costs. 4) The product is structured as a debt security (ETP) rather than a traditional ETF, with a maturity date in 2062. 5) The risk profile is rated 7/7, indicating very high risk. 6) The recommended holding period is just 1 day, making it unsuitable for long-term investors. 7) The PRIIPs KID includes a 'comprehension warning' indicating complexity. While the product is UCITS-eligible, it is not UCITS-compliant, and the documentation explicitly states it is not suitable for retail investors without specific knowledge. The combination of leverage, synthetic replication, complex underlying assets, and high risk profile clearly meets MiFID II's criteria for complex products.",
