    "supporting_data": "The product is a leveraged ETP Securities aiming to provide 3x the daily performance of Apple Inc. stock, which inherently involves leverage and daily rebalancing leading to compounding effects that can significantly deviate returns over holding periods longer than one day. The product uses a synthetic replication method by tracking the iSTOXX Leveraged 3X AAPL Index, which is derivative-based exposure rather than physical holding of underlying securities. The use of derivatives is integral to the investment objective, introducing counterparty and collateral risks. The product is non-interest bearing, non-principal protected, and carries a very high risk rating (7/7). The intended retail investor is expected to be sophisticated, able to monitor frequently, and understand the risks of leverage and compounding. The product documentation includes a mandatory comprehension alert stating it is not simple and may be difficult to understand. These features align with MiFID II criteria for complex instruments, including Article 57 of the Delegated Regulation and ESMA guidelines, which classify leveraged, synthetic, derivative-based products with complex payoff profiles as complex. The product is not UCITS compliant and is an ETP security, not an ETF. Therefore, it fails the non-complex criteria such as physical replication, limited derivative use for efficient portfolio management, and ease of understanding by retail investors with basic knowledge."
