    "supporting_data": "The GraniteShares 3x Short Netflix Daily ETP is a collateralised exchange traded product that seeks to replicate -3 times the daily performance of Netflix Inc through a swap with Natixis as the swap provider. It uses synthetic replication via total return swaps, which introduces counterparty and collateral risk. The product is leveraged at 3x inverse daily exposure, with daily reset and compounding effects that make its return path complex and difficult to understand for retail investors. The product is explicitly described as high risk (risk class 7/7) and not capital protected. The use of swaps as the core replication method, the leverage, and the inverse daily reset mechanism all contribute to complexity under MiFID II criteria. According to MiFID II Article 254, Delegated Regulation EU 2017/565 Article 57, and ESMA guidelines, such features classify the product as complex because: it uses derivatives integral to the investment objective (swaps), it employs synthetic replication, it has significant leverage, and the payoff structure is difficult for a retail investor with basic knowledge to understand. The product is not a UCITS ETF but an ETP, which is a different type of instrument and generally more complex. The PRIIPs KID includes a comprehension alert stating the product is not simple and may be difficult to understand, confirming its complex classification. Therefore, this product fails the non-complex criteria of MiFID II and must be classified as complex."
