Ross Libman Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

As long as the prospectus of the ETF is documented and the fund manager is able to maintain the daily tracking detailed, there should not be additional regulation upon public securities. Having access to specialized products allows knowledgeable investors to properly allocate to their portfolios outside of options or futures, which require higher risk management capacities in comparison to leveraged or inverse ETFs.

James Maugeri Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I should be able to choose which investments (whether leveraged/inverse or not) to invest in. I fully understand the risks/rewards of leveraged/inverse ETFs. They provide a specific investment strategy within my diversified portfolio. Restricting or eliminating these types of investments would be the same as prohibiting or restricting investors from investing in publicly traded small-cap stocks (or some penny stocks), which may have a higher risks, but also provide a possible higher return. There would be outrage if those were subject to the same proposals.
