    "supporting_data": "The WisdomTree Petroleum 2x Daily Leveraged ETC is a leveraged product (2x daily exposure), which is a clear indicator of complexity under MiFID II. It uses derivatives (commodity futures) to achieve its investment objective, introducing risks such as counterparty risk, collateral risk, and the compounding effect of daily reset leverage, which are difficult for retail investors to understand. The product is not UCITS-compliant and does not offer capital protection or participation in any investor compensation scheme. The risk indicator is 7/7, the highest possible, reflecting both market and structural risks. The product is intended for informed investors who can bear loss of capital and have specific knowledge of similar products. The structure, risks, and payoff are not straightforward, and the productu2019s performance can deviate significantly from a simple 2x multiple of the index over periods longer than one day due to the compounding effect. These features make the ETC complex under MiFID II Article 57 criteria, as it involves actual or potential liability exceeding the cost of acquisition (due to leverage), uses derivatives integral to the strategy, and has a structure and risk profile that are not easily understood by the average retail investor."
