Christo Angelov Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I believe that the proposed regulation in its effort to protect investors way oversteps the line between being helpful by ensuring that investors can make informed choices and being harmful by assuming it knows best what those choices should be and who should be allowed to make such choices and who should be banned from making them. Leveraged funds have been a part of my portfolio, including my retirement accounts, since 2015. I believe they are on average less risky than investments in many individual companies.

LINGMUYI CAHello, regulators! We invest in stocks and all public investments, including ETFs, based on a portfolio of shareholders using surplus funds from the company's operations. Thanks for the risk tips for leveraged and inverse funds. Before investing, carefully evaluate the financial situation and put the company in a low-risk capital structure; at the same time, fully understand the risks and possible fluctuations of investing in these. We are completely immune to these risks. As any kind of public investment, it is open to all investors in society.

Robert Alan Kesselring Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I agree that investor education is critical and that both high level and detailed materials should be made more available that explain these products in terms that the average investor can understand. I oppose putting hurtles in the way of investors who want to use these products. Restrictions based on net worth or other financial metrics would be especially egregious.

I, not dubiously motivated regulators should be able to choose investments that are right for my strategy. The majority of investment vehicles should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged considerating there are already plenty of investment products off limits to the public. I shouldn't have to go through any special processlike passing a test before I can invest in public securities for myself and my family. I fully grasp leveraged and inverse funds including their risks and I DON'T needregulatorymeasures imposed on me.

Anthony Schneider Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

Individual investors must always be able to choose whatever investments they decide are right for them and their family. After over 5 decades of investing, I should not be required to prove to some regulator that I am capable of responsibly handling all aspects of my financial situation. The vast majority of investors use leverage only to protect their other positions and/or to amplify the returns on a small portion of their trading portfolio. I am personally opposed to any efforts to restrict my investing rights.
