    "supporting_data": "The product is a Leverage Shares -3x Short Silver ETP Securities, which is a collateralised exchange traded security (ETP), not a UCITS ETF. It provides -3 times the daily performance of the iShares Silver Trust, implying triple leverage and inverse exposure. The product uses synthetic replication via derivatives to achieve this leverage and inverse exposure, which introduces counterparty and collateral risks that are complex for retail investors to understand. The product documentation explicitly states the presence of a compounding effect due to daily rebalancing, which can cause returns over longer holding periods to deviate significantly from -3x the underlying asset's return, increasing complexity. The recommended holding period is only 1 day, reflecting the product's complexity and risk. The risk indicator is at the highest level (7/7), indicating very high risk. The product is not capital protected and may result in total loss. The issuer may redeem the product early under certain conditions, adding liquidity and redemption risk. The product is not UCITS compliant and is classified as an ETP, not an ETF. According to MiFID II rules and ESMA guidelines, such leveraged, inverse, synthetic replication products with embedded derivatives and complex payoff structures are classified as complex financial instruments requiring an appropriateness assessment for retail investors. Therefore, this product is classified as complex under MiFID II."
