    "supporting_data": "The WisdomTree Cocoa 2x Daily Leveraged product is an Exchange Traded Commodity (ETC), not a UCITS ETF, and is designed to provide 2x leveraged exposure to the Bloomberg Cocoa Sub Excess Return Index. It uses derivatives to achieve this leveraged exposure, specifically through futures contracts and daily leverage reset, which introduces complexity such as compounding effects and deviation from the index performance over periods longer than one day. The product is fully collateralised but involves significant derivative use integral to its investment objective, which introduces counterparty and collateral risks. The product is classified as high risk (7/7) and is intended for informed retail investors with specific knowledge or experience. The product documentation explicitly states it is 'not simple and may be difficult to understand,' indicating a comprehension alert consistent with MiFID II complex product requirements. The use of leverage beyond UCITS limits, synthetic replication via derivatives, and the complex payoff structure due to daily leverage reset and compounding effects all contribute to its classification as complex under MiFID II. Additionally, as an ETC rather than a UCITS ETF, it does not benefit from the automatic non-complex presumption that applies to UCITS ETFs. Therefore, this product fails the criteria for non-complex instruments under Article 57 of the Commission Delegated Regulation and related MiFID II provisions, requiring an appropriateness assessment for retail investors."
