I oppose restrictions on my right to invest in leveraged and inverse funds - funds that are already approved and trading, and which comprise a relatively small share of my portfolio. I understand the risks that are involved, and I have had to express my views on risk regarding investment strategies to my online broker to be able to trade in the first place.
I am a user of the referenced types of funds. I think strong and simple warnings (perhaps enhanced, with some check-off from a user), at most, are adequate to support informed and free choices, and handle the concerns here.
Hi,
I believe the ability to buy leveraged and inverse funds are important part of investing. It is a great way to hedge when used responsibly as limited part of my overall portfolio. It is imperative to have access as this type of investment allows me to invest peacefully during chaotic times as I know I have protection.
Please allow us to continue to have access!
Retail investors should have the freedom to choose whatever investment that is right for them. You are attempting to put a paywall in front of instruments making it only available to a select few individuals
The ability to use leveraged and inverse funds is a vital way to hedge against your portfolio. If you limit the use of these funds in any way you are creating more risk for investors. This would be a huge mistake!!!! Barry Schutsky
In today's world we, the public, need alternative ways to invest. we do not need government interference to tell us what is good and bad for us. look at what government did with the virus, screwed up the world. If you want to control something do not let our legislative body have free access to information and then allow them to act on the information. what is good for thee is good for me. any ill gotten gains by the legislative body should be shared by all.
I have been investing in leveraged funds for many years, any investment has risk, leveraged funds carry less risk than many individual stocks that have no such requirement as they are a balance of many stocks which is better than someone who invests too much in a specific stock.
The PEOPLE should be able to choose the public
investments that are right for them and their families
Public investments should be available to all of the public,
Market is never perfectly efficient, but these leveraged and inverse funds actually help investors like us to better manage risks and balance out the irrationalities in the market. Restrictions like this only postpone risks at best and impose longer-term threat to the market.
