George Zissimos Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

Every investment carries a level of risk. While leveraged and inverse ETPs might not be well known to most retail traders, those who know about these products tend to understand how they work and how to use them. Prohibiting adults from purchasing a leveraged index fund when there are people losing money on riskier assets like cryptocurrencies and non-fungible tokens is ridiculous.

Brokers already have hoops to jump through to get into these investments. These investment vehicles should be made available to everyone and not just privileged people. I already understand the dangers of buying leveraged products, and I should have the right to invest in the products that I want to. If access to these products were to change, they would absolutely adversely affect my portfolio in non-recoverable ways. Please stop regulating the retail investor and only providing these products to privileged institutions.
