    "supporting_data": "The product is a Leverage Shares 3x Microsoft ETP Securities, which provides 3 times the daily performance of Microsoft Corp equity. It uses leverage (3x) and synthetic replication via derivatives to achieve this exposure. The product involves daily leverage rebalancing, causing a compounding effect that can significantly deviate returns from the underlying over longer holding periods. The use of derivatives is integral to the product's objective, exposing investors to counterparty and collateral risks. The product is not capital protected, has a very high risk rating (7/7), and is intended for sophisticated investors with a very short holding period (recommended 1 day). The structure and risks (leverage, synthetic replication, compounding, counterparty risk) are complex and not easily understood by retail investors with basic knowledge. According to MiFID II Article 254, Delegated Regulation EU 2017/565 Article 57, and ESMA guidelines, such features classify the product as complex. UCITS ETFs are generally non-complex, but this product is an ETP (not a UCITS ETF) and uses leverage and derivatives centrally, making it complex. The product also carries a mandatory comprehension alert in its KID, confirming its complex status."
