John Forrester Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I have a very diverse portfolio which includes a fund having some leveraged and inverse funds in it, but I do not manage the fund. However it has done well foe me even though it is quite volatile.. The amount invested in this fund may make up 2-3% of my total portfolio. I certainly see no reason why I should be denied access to such a fund. Please do not try to regulate what a person can and cannot invest in. Thank you from a "small guy".

Leveraged ETF's provide a vehicle to trade momentum and volatility. Retail investors who don't have massive amounts of money like a hedge fund or other institutions would be at a disadvantage if required to pass a test or go through cooling off periods.

Placing restrictions would go against the very principle of capitalism that everybody should have access to the same investment opportunities regardless of their net worth. At the end of the day, investors are responsible for their choices and should be able to put their money wherever they see fit.

You not regulators should be able to choose the public
investments that are right for you and your family.
Public investments should be available to all of the public,
not just the privileged.
It is very important that you express your views in your own
wordsyour comments are more likely to be taken seriously
by FINRA if they reflect your own experience and perspective.
Not only do you have the right to share your views,
but the regulators are required to take your comments into

As a professional investor, I should be able to choose to invest in public funds and what's suitable for my investments. I use these inversed and leveraged funds to hedge my investments, I shouldn't have to go through any special process, like a test in order to invest in these public funds. I understand the risk involved in investing in leveraged and inverse funds, I do not need to have these measures imposed on me. These are easy access funds and it provides an easy path to hedge my portfolio.
