    "supporting_data": "The product is a 3x leveraged daily ETP aiming to replicate 3 times the daily performance of Apple Inc via the Solactive Daily Leveraged 3x Long Apple Inc Index. It uses a swap with Natixis as the swap provider, with collateral held in a segregated account. The use of swaps as the core replication method, combined with leverage (3x), daily reset and compounding effects, introduces significant complexity. The product exposes investors to counterparty risk, collateral risk, and path-dependent returns due to daily leverage reset. The product is explicitly described as high risk (7/7 risk class) and is intended for investors with specific knowledge and experience. It is not UCITS compliant but an ETP. According to MiFID II rules and ESMA guidance, such leveraged synthetic products with embedded swaps and complex payoff structures are classified as complex financial instruments requiring appropriateness assessments. The presence of leverage, synthetic replication, and derivative use integral to the investment objective automatically triggers complexity under MiFID II Article 254 and Delegated Regulation EU 2017/565 Article 57. The productu2019s structure and risks are not easily understood by retail investors with basic knowledge, confirming the complex classification."
