    "supporting_data": "The Leverage Shares 3x Long Exxon (XOM) ETP Securities are not UCITS-compliant and are explicitly described as intended for sophisticated investors due to their leveraged structure, which provides 3 times the daily performance of the underlying asset. This daily leverage rebalancing introduces a compounding effect, making the product's return over any period other than one day different from 3 times the return of the reference asset, a feature that is difficult for retail investors to understand. The product carries the highest risk indicator (7/7), offers no capital protection, and investors may lose their entire investment. The structure, risk profile, and intended investor base all indicate that this ETP does not meet the criteria for a non-complex instrument under MiFID II Article 57, particularly due to the leverage, compounding, and lack of frequent, reliable pricing independent of the issuer. The product's complexity is further underscored by the explicit warning in the KID that it 'is not simple and may be difficult to understand,' aligning with regulatory expectations for complex products."
