    "supporting_data": "The product is a 3x leveraged daily ETP on Netflix Inc, seeking to replicate 3 times the daily performance of the underlying index via a swap with Natixis as the swap provider. The use of leverage (3x) and synthetic replication through a swap introduces significant complexity, including counterparty risk and collateral risk. The daily reset of leverage causes a compounding effect that makes the return over periods longer than one day deviate from a simple multiple of the underlying asset's return, which is difficult for retail investors to understand. The product is explicitly described as not simple and may be difficult to understand, targeting investors with specific knowledge and experience. The swap exposure and collateralization, while mitigating some risks, do not remove the inherent complexity of the derivative use and leverage. According to MiFID II Article 254, Delegated Regulation EU 2017/565 Article 57, and ESMA guidelines, such features (leverage beyond UCITS limits, synthetic replication, embedded derivatives, and complex payoff structures) classify the product as complex. The product is not UCITS compliant but an ETP, further supporting complexity classification. Therefore, the product fails the non-complex criteria under Article 57, requiring an appropriateness assessment for retail investors under MiFID II."
