    "supporting_data": "The product is a WisdomTree DAX 3x Daily Leveraged Exchange Traded Product (ETP) that provides 3 times leveraged exposure to the DAX index on a daily basis. It is UCITS eligible but uses significant leverage (3x daily leverage) and invests in futures contracts referencing the benchmark. The leverage is reset daily, causing a compounding effect that makes the return over periods longer than one day deviate from the simple 3x multiple of the index return. The product involves rolling futures contracts, which introduces roll costs and contango/backwardation effects, adding complexity. The product's risk indicator is at the highest level (7/7), reflecting very high risk. The use of leverage beyond UCITS limits and the complex payoff structure with daily reset and compounding effects make the product complex under MiFID II. Although it is UCITS eligible, the significant leverage and derivative use integral to the strategy, combined with the complex payoff and risk profile, mean it fails the non-complex criteria under Article 57 of the Commission Delegated Regulation. Therefore, it requires an appropriateness assessment for retail investors and is classified as complex."
