    "supporting_data": "The WisdomTree CAC 40 3x Daily Short is a UCITS eligible Exchange Traded Product (ETP) designed to provide leveraged short exposure (-3x daily) to the CAC 40 index. It uses derivatives (futures contracts) to achieve this synthetic exposure, with a daily reset of leverage causing compounding effects that make the product's performance over periods longer than one day deviate significantly from the index multiplied by -3. The product is fully collateralised but involves complex features such as leverage, inverse exposure, synthetic replication, and daily reset compounding effects. These features introduce risks including counterparty risk, leverage risk, and complexity in understanding payoff and risk profiles for retail investors. The product is explicitly intended for informed retail investors with specific knowledge or experience, and the KID includes a comprehension alert stating the product is not simple and may be difficult to understand. Under MiFID II Article 25(4)(a)(vi) and Article 57 of the Delegated Regulation, such features classify the product as complex because it uses derivatives integral to its strategy, involves leverage beyond UCITS limits, and has a payoff structure that is difficult for average retail investors to understand. The synthetic replication method and the use of derivatives for achieving the investment objective (not just for efficient portfolio management) further confirm complexity. Therefore, despite being UCITS eligible, the product is complex under MiFID II rules and requires an appropriateness assessment before sale to retail clients."
