As an investor, we should have the right to choose our own specific investment vehicles best suited to our investment objectives and risk tolerance. Leveraged and Inverse funds, although involving more risk, can help individual investors with my investment experience and risk tolerance, are able to achieve the results I'm looking for as part of my overall investment portfolio.
This decision should ultimately be my choice, and should not be left in the hands of regulators.

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
capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds
and their risks. I do not
need these measures imposed on me. Also, Leveraged and inverse funds are important to your
investment strategies.

I am against any intention to take away my right to manage my investment. I consider this right is essential for me to invest the way I want and the way to use leverage instruments to grow and protest my wealth and wellbeing.

The ability to trade inverse ETFs (easier to capitalize on a downward market for novice trader) and utilize leverage helps to encourage market participation by people in all income brackets. To take away these options would be a stride towards exclusivity based on economic status and further separate already diverging income classes and political parties.

I'm a financial professional fully licensed with a Series 7 and 24. I utilize leveraged funds not only in my retirement account but also in my retail account. I utilize leveraged inverse bond funds, biotech funds and QQQ etfs. There should be no limit on these funds, with the exception of 300+ % leveraged funds. That's when risk becomes unmanageable in my opinion.

Leveraged and Inverse funds provide an important tool in managing investments. I've utilized these funds during the past several months to hedge my exposure in a challenging market. I've been able to remain invested in strong companies that pay dividends, while reducing my exposure to a substantial loss during market corrections. These funds provide an important tool to retirees that place a priority on preservation of capital.

I strongly oppose putting restrictions on investment options available today including the leveraged ETFs. Please help expand investment choices to retail investors. Thank you.

ProShares is same as all other investment such as equities, options, futures, and Forex. They has it's own risk and reward. Restrictions on one asset is not fair. Investors should have the right and freedom to pick their investment; and should not have to go through any special process of test. I am strongly object.

Don't limit leveraged ETFs. There is too much inequality as there is already.

Public investment should be open to all of the public, not just the privileged as a protection of fairness.
