High risk/high return investment products should not be privileged to only the very wealthy. Index funds as such give smaller investors access to a wider array of investment tools. Trading the product requires buyers to fill out some extra paperwork demonstrating their understanding of the risk. Limiting the risk that smaller investors take on but not that of high net worth individuals seems anti democratic, plutocratic and wrong. If regulators deem that the financial sector as a whole is taking on too much risk, regulate wealthy individuals the same as small net worth individuals.

It is hypocritical how the U.S government talk about helping lower-income families and individuals get out of poverty, then you slap on unrealistic regulations saying it is in the best interest of the consumer. The only day to get out of generational poverty is to build wealth. Owning leveraged financial asset classes is a quicker way to achieve wealth building. You will be doing the American people a disservice by passing any regulations that could hinder a person's ability to achieving wealth, through this investment vehicle.
