    "supporting_data": "The GraniteShares 3x Long BP Daily ETP is a collateralised exchange traded product that seeks to replicate 3 times the daily performance of BP p.l.c. via a swap agreement with Natixis. This swap-based synthetic replication introduces counterparty risk and collateral risk, which are difficult for retail investors to understand. The product uses significant leverage (3x daily), with a daily reset causing a compounding effect that can cause returns over periods longer than one day to deviate substantially from the underlying asset's performance multiplied by leverage. The product is not UCITS compliant and is classified as an ETP, not an ETF. The use of swaps as the core replication method, combined with leverage and the complex payoff profile, meets the criteria for complexity under MiFID II Article 57 and ESMA guidelines. The product's risk indicator is the highest possible (7/7), reflecting very high risk and complexity. The product documentation explicitly states it is 'not simple and may be difficult to understand,' confirming its complex nature. According to MiFID II rules, such a product requires an appropriateness assessment before sale to retail clients, and a comprehension alert is mandatory in the PRIIPs KID. Therefore, this product is classified as complex under MiFID II."
