    "supporting_data": "The GraniteShares 3x Long NIO Daily ETP is a collateralised exchange traded product that seeks to replicate 3 times the daily performance of NIO Inc via a swap agreement with Natixis. This swap-based synthetic replication introduces counterparty risk and collateral risk, which are complex features under MiFID II. The product uses significant leverage (3x daily leverage), which is beyond UCITS limits and adds complexity. The daily reset and compounding effects further complicate the risk-return profile, making it difficult for retail investors with basic knowledge to understand. The product is explicitly described as 'not simple and may be difficult to understand' and is classified in the highest risk category (7/7). It is not a UCITS fund but an ETP, and its structure involves embedded derivatives (swaps) integral to its investment objective. According to MiFID II Article 254 and Delegated Regulation EU 2017/565 Article 57, such use of derivatives as a core strategy, significant leverage, and synthetic replication classify the product as complex. The PRIIPs KID includes a comprehension alert, confirming its complex status. Therefore, despite being exchange traded, the product's synthetic leveraged structure and embedded derivatives make it complex under MiFID II rules."
