Ayman Dabibi Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I strongly oppose any restrictions of my rights to invest in leveraged funds. I should be able to make my own investment decisions with my own capital. I, along with many others opposing such restrictions are well aware of the risks involved with investing in leveraged funds and many of us use such funds to enhance our returns during periods of economic growth (i.e. 2010 - 2020). I do not need to take an exam or become a qualified investor to understand the concept of/invest in leveraged funds.

I disagree with restricting my free and equitable access to leveraged and inverse funds.

Trying to limit the access of investors to leveraged and inverse funds will further put the individual investor at disadvantage against big institutions.

These funds have been there for years and are part of many investor's strategies (e.g. hedging risk).

Another point to consider is that restricting access to these funds would push the individual investor to use other hedging/leveraging strategies such as options and/or crypto which are even more complex and risky.

William Fincher Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I'm writing to ask that you don't change rules that would disallow me from making my own choices on which funds that I choose to invest. There should not be any special litmus test to determine my ability to invest in funds of my choosing. Leverage funds have benefited me greatly. My investments have grown exponentially, especially during lean covid years. Most investors who use these funds use a system or some sort of methodology to help manage risk. I ask that you keep these funds available for public consumption

Investors, not regulators, should be able to choose the public investments that are right for the inventors and family. Public investment should be available to all of the public.

Leveraged and inverse funds play an important role in my investment strategies. They serve a purpose, for example, to provide enhanced returns by taking a calculated risk bound by a limited part of my overall portfolio.

Christopher Deimel Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I oppose the proposed additional regulations for investing in leveraged and/or inverse funds. I am fully capable of understanding the risks involved and currently use some of these investments to hedge my long positions during the recent and ongoing market downturn.

In fact, without such investment vehicles being available, my financial position would be much more deteriorated than it is using such strategies.

Dave Lundquist Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I have learned that you are considering limiting investors ability to buy leveraged and inverse funds. I have had terrific successes with these types of funds and in fact the bulk of my trades are using this as part of my investment strategy.

Please reconsider, and leave these securities as-is so that we can buy and sell as we should be allowed to do in a free market economy. All the risks and rewards are ours - we don't need a nanny state to "protect us".

Thank you &
