Jared Hamilton Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I have used leveraged and inverse funds to enhance the profitability of my portfolio and built an entire strategy surrounding their use successfully. The proposed regulations have the potential to harm my future investment goals. The current information provided surrounding these types of funds is more than sufficient for proper understanding of risks and my abilities to utilize these products should not be infringed.

PK Shrivastava Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I would like you to let me maintain my ability to choose the type of investments that I consider are best for my family's financial future. This includes my ability to invest in leveraged and inverse funds since I understand the trade details and inherent risks involved. Please do not take away my ability to freely and unhindered invest in such products. Leveraged and inverse fund investing has proved profitable to my portfolio and I hope to continue working with these strategies.

Regulators, Leveraged ETFs are important to my investment strategy and ability to tailor my investments to my risk tolerance. I use leveraged and invers ETFs for efficient hedging and speculation based on my analysis. Restricting free access to these instruments means infringing on my rights to manage my investments without outside intervention and will be an absolutely stupid policy that will distort the information embedded in free market prices.

Matthew Kortes Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I oppose any restriction on individual investors use of inverse or leveraged ETFs. I personally have used inverse and leveraged ETFs to protect myself during periods of market volatility as a means to limit my downside risk while keeping invested in the market. I except to lose a certain amount of money on these instruments in many instances but accept that cost because of the downsides of liquidating other positions within the market. Certainly, these instruments carry risk but any investment has risk. Removing this instrument will force me to engage in use of options and puts and calls.

Restricting leveraged investment products to high net worth individuals only harms the retail investor. A retail investor can already access significant amounts of leverage through student loans and real estate, LETFs are no different. So long as the investment prospectus is clear, risk rightfully falls entirely on the investor.

On a personal level, restricting my ability to purchase leveraged investment products would force me to engage in far more complex, less tax efficient, higher risk strategies in order to attain similar exposure to the market.

Michael Beilstein Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I depend on leveraged ETFs for my retirement. Without these returns, I would not be able to earn enough to support myself in the coming years. I understand well the risk associated with these funds and have educated myself well enough to trade them. I very much oppose any limitations placed on mobility to do so by regulators and feel such actions would be unfair and discriminatory.

Bryan McAninch Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I, not regulators, should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged elites.

I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before you can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds.

I am fully capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I do NOT need these regulatory measures imposed on me.
