David Jones Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

Inverse fund products provide a necessary alternative to shorting an over-valued security while minimizing the risk with a direct short of a security. Additionally, leveraged products are an alternative to margining ones account, which can lead to margin calls. Lastly, most brokerages have internal controls to limit individual's exposure to any risks that may be associated with leveraged products; additional external regulations are not necessary.

Oliver Puttler Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I oppose restrictions on my right to invest in public investments.

I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.

I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I do not need these measures imposed on me.
