    "classification": "complex",
    "supporting_data": "The product is a leveraged exchange traded product (ETP) providing 3 times the daily performance of Disney equity, achieved through synthetic replication using swaps. The use of derivatives is integral to the investment objective, introducing counterparty and collateral risks. The product exhibits a high risk rating (7/7), with a recommended holding period of only one day due to the compounding effect of daily leverage rebalancing, which can cause returns to deviate significantly from 3x the underlying asset over longer periods. The structure is complex and not easily understood by retail investors with basic knowledge, as it involves advanced concepts such as leverage, swaps, counterparty risk, and compounding effects. There is no capital protection, and the product may result in losses exceeding the initial investment. According to MiFID II Article 25(4)(a)(vi) and Article 57 of the Delegated Regulation, such features classify the product as complex, requiring an appropriateness assessment before sale to retail clients. The product is not UCITS compliant and is explicitly described as 'not simple and may be difficult to understand' in its KID. Therefore, it fails the criteria for non-complex instruments, including the absence of embedded derivatives, ease of understanding, and limited risk exposure. This aligns with ESMA guidance that synthetic ETFs and leveraged products with embedded derivatives are complex. Hence, the classification is complex."
