S. Bechtold Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I am opposed to restrictions on my ability to trade in publicly traded hedge or derivative funds.
I am of age and use these types of investments as a very small part of our family investments, but they allow me to participate in the market during economic periods of change without liquidating my long-term holdings.
A simple and straightforward note or warning would be sufficient to alert potential investors of related risks.

Scott Anderson Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me. Public investments should be available to the public. I shouldn't have to go through any special process to be able to invest in these securities. Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategy and allow me to trade broader sectors with less exposure and capital investment. I understand the risks involved with making these investments.

Many retail traders looking to invest in leveraged funds do not simply find the options menu in their brokerage app. Leveraged funds offer retail investors an easy and hands free alternative to margin that does not come with constant rebalancing. The knowledge needed to understand leveraged funds are much less than understanding how they are achieved. In comparison to options, leveraged funds are simple. They rebalance and aim to roughly track some other funds returns.
