    "supporting_data": "The product is a WisdomTree Wheat 3x Daily Leveraged ETC, providing 3 times leveraged exposure to the Bloomberg Wheat Sub Excess Return Index via futures contracts. It uses derivatives extensively as an inherent part of its strategy to achieve leveraged commodity exposure, which introduces counterparty risk and complexity. The daily reset of leverage causes compounding effects, making returns over periods longer than one day deviate significantly from simple multiples of the index return, increasing complexity. The product is not a UCITS fund but an ETC (Exchange Traded Commodity), which is a collateralised debt security, not an ETF. It is governed by Jersey law and explicitly states it is fully collateralised but levered 3x daily, which is beyond UCITS leverage limits. The risk indicator is at the highest level (7/7), reflecting very high risk and complexity. The product documentation includes a comprehension alert stating 'You are about to purchase a product that is not simple and may be difficult to understand.' These featuresu2014significant leverage, use of derivatives integral to the strategy, synthetic exposure via futures, and commodity underlying with roll costs and contango effectsu2014make the product complex under MiFID II criteria. According to MiFID II Article 254 and Delegated Regulation EU 2017/565 Article 57, such use of derivatives beyond efficient portfolio management, leverage beyond UCITS limits, and synthetic replication classify the product as complex. The product is not a UCITS ETF but an ETC, which is generally more complex. Therefore, the classification is complex."
