Darin Chase Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

This is another example, in a growing list, of attempts by government bureaucrats to tell us that how individuals are too stupid and incapable of making investment decisions on our own. Stop overreaching! This also gives a false impression to the public at large that the investment funds that are not restricted are safer because the government has endorsed them. Let us do what we want with our money!

I would prefer my right to invest in leveraged and inverse funds to remain unchanged. Sectioning off portions of the free market causes it to remain privileged to a select few. Everybody goes through elementary school and understands multiplication.

I utilize leveraged funds to take advantage of periods of high return on investment in the overall market. As a retail investor, it is very clear that it is possible to lose money in the market, and this should not be locked from the general public because there are some investors who do not consider their own risk tolerance.

We as individual investors should have the choice and option to decide which investments are best for us. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. Especially in 2022, diversity and inclusion is extremely important, allowing all people to learn and make decisions that are best for themselves, not regulators.

Leveraged and inverse funds are an important investment strategy. These funds provide enhanced exposure without additional capital by using debt.

Michael Buckley Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I have been safely and profitably investing in a leveraged, inverse fund for years in taxed and tax-deferred accounts.and have been investing in stocks, bonds and derivatives for decades. Leveraged, inverse funds are only a small part of my investment portfolio and are an even smaller part of my net worth. I understand the risks and mitigate them by buying shares only when the risk is relatively low and the opportunity for profit is relatively high. So, I don't want the government allegedly protecting me by issuing regulations that limit my investing opportunities.
