Lorraine Cavanaugh Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

Hello,

I firmly object to additional hurdles to investing. I (and the general public of mostly non-accredited investors) are not idiots, we just have less money. The tools to learn about investment and the finance industry are out there and we are using them.

Being able to participate in the market should not only be for the rich or those with finance degrees. I am against agency testing to allow access to inverse and leveraged funds.

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.

Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies. They help me protect (hedge) your investments and seek enhanced returns.

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 you.

I'd suggest not limiting access to these products, but rather increasing the education requirements and understanding of these products. The risks of the products should be spelled out plainly, not lost in some lengthy document that none of the investors are reading. In big bold letters and a concise one page document, all of the risks are summarized and distributed regularly to investors in these products.

Regulators should stay out of choosing what types of publicly traded investments are right for market participants.

Public investments should be available to all market participants, not those deemed "worthy" by regulators.

No one should have to take a test in order to trade a leveraged or inverse ETF.

Leveraged and inverse funds are important for portfolio strategy, particularly for those investors who are already limited by qualified plans.
