    "classification": "complex",
    "supporting_data": "The product is a 3x leveraged daily ETP on Lloyds Banking Group shares, using a swap with Natixis as the counterparty. It employs synthetic replication through a collateralized swap structure, which introduces counterparty and collateral risks that are difficult for retail investors to understand. The daily reset of leverage causes compounding effects, making returns over periods longer than one day deviate significantly from simple multiples of the underlying asset's return. The product is explicitly described as high risk (7/7 risk class) and is intended for investors with specific knowledge and experience. According to MiFID II rules and ESMA guidance, such use of derivatives integral to the investment objective, leverage beyond UCITS limits, and synthetic replication classify the product as complex. The product does not qualify as UCITS and is an ETP, not an ETF. The presence of embedded swaps and leverage mandates an appropriateness assessment under MiFID II. Therefore, this asset is classified as complex."
