    "supporting_data": "The GraniteShares 3x Long Alphabet Daily ETP is an Exchange Traded Product (ETP) that seeks to replicate 3 times the daily performance of Alphabet via a swap with Natixis, indicating synthetic replication and use of derivatives integral to the strategy. It employs leverage (3x), which is significant and beyond UCITS temporary borrowing limits, making it complex. The product involves counterparty risk due to the swap agreement and collateral management, which are difficult for retail investors to understand. The daily reset of leverage introduces a compounding effect, increasing complexity and risk. The product is explicitly described as 'not simple and may be difficult to understand' and is classified as highest risk (7/7). According to MiFID II Article 254, Delegated Regulation EU 2017/565 Article 57, and ESMA guidelines, such featuresu2014synthetic replication, embedded derivatives (swaps), significant leverage, and complex payoff structuresu2014classify the product as complex. UCITS ETFs are generally non-complex unless they embed such features. Therefore, this ETF is complex under MiFID II rules."
