Charlene Higgs Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

Trading has recently become accessible to the public via apps in a way it has never been accessible in the past, and I believe that this broad access should continue to be available to all presently qualified people - for better or worse. The burden of responsibility ultimately falls on the individual to understand the risks of their actions and make decisions accordingly, whether it be in trading stocks or any other circumstance in life.

As a professional investor with 15 years on Wall Street and another 8 years at the US Treasury, I find this stretch to be over-regulation. Investors should have the ability to choose investments and while limiting investment choices makes a sense for some investors, broadening the scope to require additional hurdles and an regulator review is an over stretching. Investing is risky. Investors are provided numerous tools and options to ensure they are making the appropriate decisions.

I believe I should be allowed to make my own informed decisions about investing in any public security. There are ample warnings and notifications in place and to segregate and make one class that is useful in hedging my portfolio harder to access only adds unnecessary and burdensome complications. While it is only a small part of my portfolio,over the past 10 years it is my second best performing asset and acts as a balance to other funds selections.
