    "supporting_data": "This UCITS ETF is designed to deliver the inverse (-1x) daily performance of the EURO STOXX 50 Index using synthetic replication through over-the-counter total return swaps. The use of swaps is central to the investment strategy, not merely for efficient portfolio management, introducing significant counterparty risk. The ETFu2019s daily rebalancing and leverage mean its performance over periods longer than one day does not match the simple inverse of the index, adding complexity. The structure, risks (including counterparty, collateral, and leverage risks), and payoff profile are not straightforward for a retail investor with basic knowledge to understand. These features override the general UCITS presumption of non-complexity and trigger a complex classification under MiFID II Article 57 and ESMA guidelines, as the productu2019s mechanics and risks are not easily comprehensible to the average retail client[3]. The ETF would require an appropriateness assessment before being sold on a non-advised basis."
