Gary Okazaki Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

Dear Sir or Madam: One aspect that I love about the financial markets in this country is the FREEDOM we have to invest in a wide variety of investment options, such as leveraged funds. I am grateful that we live in a country that believes investors are intelligent enough to ascertain the risks and rewards of such investment vehicles. BUT WAIT! So regulators are considering limiting access to such investments? That is very much a "Putin-esque" move on the part of regulators. PLEASE let us, the investors, make our own choices.

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.

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.
