Vinay Kumar Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

They provide a valuable tool to improve market returns . ANybody who invests should be aware of the risks involved. It is a very valuable tool available for ordinary investors so as to level the playing field . I believe is democratizing investment. A portfolio investing say around 30% in triple leveraged index fund and rest of the money in a bond fund to hedge against significant market risk is likely will outperform the index fund. I strongly believe that exposure and availability is essential to a healthy democratized investment market rather than regulating it further

I oppose restrictions to my right to invest. I, not you (the regulators) should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. I shouldnt need to take any kind of special process to allow us to invest our hard earned money into leveraged and inverse funds. I am capable of understanding the risks that are made and should only be my choice to decide. I do not need the measures that are being imposed on me or any other investor who uses these funds to hedge in order to protect our capital.

John Cormie Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I am a modest net worth investor but am familiar with so-called hedge funds.
I have used such funds to provide some hedging to my investment portfolio and consider them a key part of my financial planning.
A policy that tries to eliminate risk from investment decisions is doomed to failure and will, inevitably, create negative consequences.
I oppose restrictions to my right to make my own investment decisions.

We should be able to choose the public investments that are best for us. Leveraged and inverse funds are important for our
investment strategies. A "cooling off" period destroys such strategies and causes unnecessary sales and other "knock-on" financial consequences. The existing extremely high margin requirements are sufficient for ensuring that those with margin accounts maintain solvency. We do not need more regulation in this area.

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