Having invested on these funds for over 10 years, I don't feel that the government has any right to interfere with my investment decisions.

While I fully understand the need to have informed investors by placing common investment vehicles such as ESG funds , CEFs, ETF etc. on the list only serves to limit investments from the "common citizen".

In addition artifical barriers such as " broker approval" and tests seem to tilt the landscape toward forcing individuals to use "advisors" who charge fees. We know how well that works with products like annuities which are often hawked to investors based on the fear of loss.

To regulate and restrict those people investing with a smaller amount of start monies while protecting and increasing the growth of dirty monies received by washing and redistributing illegal money, like from politicians who sell votes to the highest bidder or like Pelosi who gets early information known as insider trading, passing it and washing it to become legal.

I am very opposed to the notion that these investments should be restricted. They have been an excellent tool to enhance returns, and restricting them will only hurt smaller investors, making portfolios harder to manage except for the very wealthy.

Please do not affect the way I invest on stocks and index funds and leveraged funds I have done in the past and currently is a large part of my portfolio. I have made money investing in these funds and do not want to see it go away. Please honor my right as an investor to continue these investments in the marketplace. Thank you!

Stop the nonsense

Hello, I should be allowed to choose the investment of my choice. I am always provided a prospectus or information concerning the risks of investments. I use a small portion of my overall investment allocation to invest in inverse funds. It is not fair to consider any type of mandates, classes, additional education to invest in these funds.

I see leverage and inverse funds as just another investment vehicle. Really no difference than bond funds or Bitcoin or even some of the stocks that are outside there being traded.
I support inverse and leveraged funds.

I don't believe these leveraged funds are riskier than any other stock, an education into the stock market is a must before you just throw money into it, but freedom means that not only can institutions be aloud to buy and sell these stocks but so should everyone else.

I have used leverage funds over the past fifteen years. They are integral part of my investment strategy, one that has allowed me to retire early. This constituent a limited portion of my portfolio but have allowed enhanced returns. This would not be possible has I not been able to use leverage funds earlier in my investment experience or with a smaller portfolio balance. There is ample information available relative to the risks for this class of funds, additional hurdles or limited access is not required.
