    "supporting_data": "The product is a WisdomTree BTP 10Y 5x Daily Short ETP, which is UCITS eligible but provides leveraged short exposure (-5x) to BTP futures contracts, indicating significant leverage and use of derivatives integral to the investment objective. The replication is synthetic, relying on futures contracts rather than physical holdings, introducing counterparty and collateral risks. The product's daily reset leverage causes compounding effects, making returns over periods longer than one day deviate from the simple multiple of the index return, increasing complexity. The product targets informed retail investors with specific knowledge and experience, acknowledging the complexity and risk. The risk indicator is at the highest level (7/7), reflecting very high risk. The product does not offer capital protection and involves currency risk. These features align with MiFID II criteria for complex instruments: use of derivatives beyond efficient portfolio management, synthetic replication, significant leverage, and complex payoff structures. According to MiFID II Article 254, Delegated Regulation EU 2017/565 Article 57, and ESMA guidelines, such characteristics classify the product as complex, requiring an appropriateness assessment and a comprehension alert in the PRIIPs KID. UCITS ETFs are generally non-complex unless they embed derivatives integral to the strategy or use synthetic replication with associated risks. This product clearly meets the complexity criteria due to its leveraged synthetic short exposure to futures, daily reset mechanism, and risk profile. Therefore, it is classified as complex under MiFID II rules."
