Manxiang Zhang Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

Leveraged/Inverse funds are very useful risk management tools for even the most common retail investors. To impose restrictions of any kind will limit retail investor options and leave only the privileged and institutional investors with the critical risk management tools.

The common retail investors should be able to choose the public investments that are right for you and your family.
Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.

James Vorwerk Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I oppose any restrictions on my right to invest in public investments, including and not limited to leveraged funds.
I am the one to decide which investments are right for myself and my family. Public investments should be available to everyone, not just those someone considers privileged.
There should be no process to go through like passing a test, we don't need some bureaucrat. I am fully capable of determining the shortfalls or benefits of leveraged and inverse funds, including their risk. I do not need these measures imposed on me.

Levered ETFs are a critical part of my investment methodology. They allow me to take advantage of short term trading opportunities, and do not represent core long-term investment holdings. Additionally they generate returns that are meaningful with limited capital, something I can't do without leverage. The current disclosures and warnings provided by brokerages when a trade for a levered product is submitted are more than adequate.
