    "supporting_data": "The product is a WisdomTree STOXX Europe Travel & Leisure 2x Daily Short ETP, which is UCITS eligible but structured as a collateralised debt security (ETP), not a plain ETF. It provides leveraged inverse exposure (-2x daily) to the STOXX Europe 600 Travel & Leisure index, achieved through derivatives such as futures and swaps. The product uses synthetic replication, relying on derivatives to achieve its investment objective rather than physical replication. This introduces counterparty and collateral risks, which are complex for retail investors to understand. The daily leverage reset and compounding effects add further complexity and risk, making the product's performance over periods longer than one day deviate significantly from the simple leveraged inverse of the index. The product is explicitly described as high risk (7/7 risk class), with no capital protection and potential for total loss. The KID includes a comprehension alert stating 'You are about to purchase a product that is not simple and may be difficult to understand.' These features align with MiFID II Article 57 and ESMA guidelines that classify products using derivatives integral to their strategy, leverage beyond UCITS limits, inverse and leveraged exposure, and synthetic replication as complex. The product is not a plain UCITS ETF with physical replication but a structured, leveraged, synthetic ETP with embedded derivatives and inverse exposure, thus complex under MiFID II rules."
