    "supporting_data": "The WisdomTree STOXX Europe Automobiles 2x Daily Leveraged product is a UCITS-eligible Exchange Traded Product (ETP) that provides leveraged exposure (2x daily) to the STOXX Europe 600 Automobiles & Parts Index. It uses leverage explicitly, resetting daily, which introduces a compounding effect that can cause the product's return over periods longer than one day to deviate significantly from twice the index return. The product is fully collateralised but uses derivatives to achieve this leveraged exposure. The use of leverage beyond UCITS limits (temporary borrowing up to 10%) and the embedded derivative exposure for leverage purposes classify it as complex under MiFID II rules. The product's structure and risks (including leverage, daily reset, and derivative use) are difficult for retail investors with basic knowledge to understand, fulfilling the criteria for complexity. The product is not a simple physical replication ETF but a leveraged ETP with derivative exposure, which is a key complexity factor. The PRIIPs KID includes a comprehension alert stating the product is not simple and may be difficult to understand, reinforcing its complex classification. According to MiFID II Article 254 and Delegated Regulation EU 2017/565 Article 57, leveraged products with embedded derivatives integral to the investment objective are complex. The product does not have capital protection and carries high risk (risk class 7/7). Securities lending is not mentioned as a factor here. The replication method is physical in the sense it tracks an equity index, but the leverage and derivative use for daily leveraged exposure override the non-complex presumption of UCITS ETFs. Therefore, the product is classified as complex."
