    "supporting_data": "The product is a Leverage Shares -2x Short Tesla ETP Securities, which is a collateralised exchange traded security (ETP), not a UCITS ETF. It aims to provide -2 times the daily performance of Tesla shares, implying significant leverage and inverse exposure. The product uses synthetic replication via derivatives such as swaps to achieve its investment objective, introducing counterparty and collateral risks. The KID explicitly states the presence of leverage, daily rebalancing, and compounding effects that can cause returns to deviate significantly from -2x the underlying over longer holding periods. The recommended holding period is only 1 day, reflecting the complexity and risk. The product is classified as highest risk (7/7) and is intended for sophisticated investors able to monitor frequently and understand complex risks. The use of derivatives is integral to the strategy, not merely for efficient portfolio management. The product is not capital protected and involves securities lending and collateral management. According to MiFID II Article 254, Delegated Regulation EU 2017/565 Article 57, and ESMA guidelines, such features (leverage beyond UCITS limits, synthetic replication, embedded derivatives, inverse leveraged exposure) render the product complex. UCITS ETFs are generally non-complex unless they embed such features, which this product does. Therefore, it must be classified as complex under MiFID II appropriateness rules."
