    "supporting_data": "The Leverage Shares -3x Short Gold ETP Securities are not UCITS-compliant and are classified as Exchange Traded Products (ETP). They employ significant leverage (-3x daily performance), use derivatives as a core part of their investment strategy (synthetic replication via collateralized margin accounts and securities lending), and are inverse products, amplifying both gains and losses. The structure introduces compounding effects, counterparty risk (via collateral assets and securities lending), and collateral risk. There is no capital protection, and the product is explicitly intended for sophisticated investors with a very short investment horizon. The risk indicator is high (6/7), and the product documentation includes a comprehension alert, signaling that the product is not simple and may be difficult to understand. These featuresu2014leverage, derivative use, synthetic replication, inverse strategy, compounding, counterparty and collateral risks, lack of capital protection, and high risku2014collectively make the product complex under MiFID II Article 57 and Delegated Regulation EU 2017/565, as they introduce risks and structural features that are not easily understood by the average retail investor. The product does not meet the criteria for non-complex instruments, particularly due to the use of leverage and derivatives central to the investment objective, the potential for losses exceeding the cost of acquisition, and the complexity of the risk profile."
