    "supporting_data": "The GraniteShares 3x Long NVIDIA Daily ETP is a leveraged exchange traded product (ETP) that seeks to replicate 3 times the daily performance of NVIDIA Corp through a swap agreement with Natixis. It uses synthetic replication via total return swaps, which introduces counterparty risk and collateral risk. The product resets leverage daily, causing a compounding effect that makes returns over periods longer than one day deviate from the simple leveraged multiple, increasing complexity. The product is not a UCITS ETF but an ETP, and it explicitly states it is not simple and may be difficult to understand, targeting investors with specific knowledge and experience. The use of leverage beyond UCITS limits, embedded derivatives (swaps), synthetic replication, and the complex payoff structure all contribute to its classification as complex under MiFID II. According to MiFID II Article 254, Delegated Regulation EU 2017/565 Article 57, and ESMA guidelines, such features override the baseline presumption of non-complexity for UCITS ETFs. The product's structure and risks are not easily understood by retail investors with basic knowledge, requiring an appropriateness assessment and comprehension alert. Therefore, this ETP is classified as complex."
