Roderic Bosse Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I strongly disagree with restrictions being placed on leveraged, public investments. Leveraged ETFs are an important part of my equity portfolio. I have also used inverse leveraged funds in the past. I should not be restricted from using these funds and I should not have to take a test to prove to anyone that I understand the risks of investing in leveraged funds. I already get a "pop up" message from my online brokerage (Fidelity) when I buy leveraged funds. I would like to see less restrictions from FINRA instead of more. Thanks for your consideration of my views.

Hello:

I am concerned about the possibility of being prevented from investing in various investments, like Leveraged and Inverse Leveraged funds.

I agree these are not for the uninformed investor. But in my case, I am informed. I used to have a series 7 license in my past. I do my own research, and make my own investment decisions. I am knowledgeable.

Please don't take away the INFORMED INVESTOR'S ability to invest in these.

Occasionally, I have used "complex investment products," such as leveraged or inverse funds in my portfolio for specific purposes. As a retired person, I need growth in my investments to fund my living expenses and so far, 2022 has not been very kind. One bright spot in my portfolio has been the ProShares ETF that shorts the 20-year treasury bond which produces a return in a rising interest rate environment.
