    "supporting_data": "The product is a GraniteShares 3x Short AMD Daily ETP Securities, which seeks to replicate -3 times the daily performance of AMD via a swap with Natixis as the swap provider. It uses synthetic replication through a collateralized swap, exposing investors to counterparty and collateral risk. The product employs significant leverage (3x short), with daily reset of leverage causing compounding effects that make returns over periods longer than one day deviate unpredictably from the simple leveraged multiple. The structure is complex and not easily understood by retail investors with basic knowledge, as it involves derivatives integral to the investment objective, leverage, and synthetic replication. The PRIIP risk indicator rates it at the highest risk class (7/7), reflecting very high potential losses. The product documentation explicitly states it is not simple and may be difficult to understand. According to MiFID II rules and ESMA guidance, such features (embedded derivatives, leverage beyond UCITS limits, synthetic replication, counterparty risk) classify the product as complex. The product is an ETP, not a UCITS ETF, and thus does not benefit from the automatic non-complex presumption applicable to UCITS ETFs. Therefore, it requires an appropriateness assessment under MiFID II and must be classified as complex."
