    "supporting_data": "The GraniteShares 3x Long AMD Daily ETP Securities is a leveraged exchange traded product that seeks to replicate 3 times the daily performance of AMD via a swap agreement with Natixis. It uses synthetic replication through a collateralized swap, exposing investors to counterparty and collateral risk. The product resets leverage daily, causing a compounding effect that makes returns over periods longer than one day deviate from a simple 3x multiple of AMD's performance, which adds complexity. The product is explicitly described as 'not simple and may be difficult to understand' and carries the highest risk class (7/7). It is not a UCITS fund but an ETP security. The use of derivatives is integral to the investment objective, not merely for efficient portfolio management. The product's structure, leverage, and derivative use mean it fails the MiFID II criteria for non-complex instruments under Article 57 and related ESMA guidance. Therefore, it requires an appropriateness assessment for retail investors and is classified as complex."
