    "supporting_data": "The product is a 5x leveraged Exchange Traded Product (ETP) that seeks to provide five times the daily performance of the iShares TIPS Bond ETF, using synthetic replication involving derivatives such as swaps. The use of derivatives is integral to the investment objective, introducing counterparty and collateral risks that are difficult for retail investors to understand. The product employs daily leverage rebalancing, causing compounding effects that can significantly deviate returns over holding periods longer than one day. It is classified as high risk (6 out of 7), with no capital protection, and is intended for sophisticated investors with a very short holding horizon. These features align with MiFID II criteria for complex instruments, as the product embeds leverage, synthetic replication, and derivative exposure that exceed the thresholds for non-complex classification under Article 57 of the Commission Delegated Regulation and related ESMA guidelines. Therefore, an appropriateness assessment is required before sale to retail clients."
