Steven Forrester Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

The risks of investing are well known. Loss of capital is always possible. The risks of investing in leveraged and inverse funds are equivalent. As an investor, I don't need the government to tell me what I may or may not invest in. Your duty is not to protect me from myself, or from possibly poor decisions I may make. At the limit, your duty may be to inform me of risks, but beyond that, it is up to me to invest as I see fit. PLEASE DO NOT RESTRICT MY RIGHTS.

I feel that the move to restrict access to leveraged and inverse funds is a wrong one. Such a restriction would devoid the retail investor from access to quality instruments that could be significantly beneficial. Several academic studies have underlined the importance of leverage. The LifeCycle Investment from Yale is one such example. These leveraged and inverse funds provide a simple option for investors looking to incorporate strategies from these well researched academic studies as part of their portfolio.

To whom it may concern,

I oppose restrictions on my right as a US citizen to invest in PUBLIC investments as this SEC Proposed Rule #S7-24-15 is trying to do. As an investor, I should be able to choose the investments that are right for me & my family. Public investments are just that - investments that need to be available to ALL of the public, not just those who have large portfolios or who can obtain special approvals to obtain them.
