    "supporting_data": "The product is a WisdomTree Natural Gas 3x Daily Short ETC, which is a fully collateralised Exchange Traded Commodity designed to provide leveraged short exposure (-3x) to the Solactive Natural Gas Commodity Futures SL Index. It uses commodity futures contracts with daily leverage reset, which introduces a compounding effect making the product's return over periods longer than one day deviate significantly from the index multiplied by the leverage factor. The product is not a UCITS ETF but an ETC, which is a different type of instrument. The use of derivatives (commodity futures) is integral to the investment objective, not limited to efficient portfolio management, and the leverage is significant (3x short exposure). The replication is synthetic in nature, as the product does not hold the underlying natural gas but gains exposure via futures contracts. The product carries high risk (risk class 7/7), includes counterparty and collateral risks inherent in derivatives, and has complex payoff and risk profiles that are difficult for retail investors with basic knowledge to understand. The product documentation includes a comprehension alert stating it is not simple and may be difficult to understand. These factors align with MiFID II Article 254 and Delegated Regulation EU 2017/565 Article 57 criteria for complex instruments, especially due to leverage, synthetic replication, and derivative use beyond EPM. Therefore, the product is classified as complex under MiFID II rules."
