William Heidenreich Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

An individual should be able to make their own choices regarding what their risk tolerance is and what investment vehicles they choose. Leveraged/Inverse funds are only a small portion of my portfolio. I use this type of an investment as a hedge to protect the rest of my portfolio as well as enhance my overall returns. Over the last 50 years that I have had an active portfolio of investments, my risk tolerance has decreased. However, I will always maintain a portion of my investments in aggressive securities. This is a choice that I have made as an informed investor.

Completely unfair - the public should be able to take whatever risk they see fit without being subject to excessive requirements. These rules would literally be limiting the public's access to high-risk/high-ROI investments for little reason. There should be tools available to anyone who is interested in going beyond traditional investing (i.e. daytrading, speculation, etc.). Adding literal pay-to-play rules does not make for a healthy market.

I oppose restrictions on public investments to so-called "complex products" including leveraged and inverse funds. Preventing the general public from accessing these types of investments will subvert the ability of non-high-net-worth individuals from offsetting losses during periods of economic retraction as well as capitalizing during times of volatility with calculated risk-taking.
