I am not an institution, but I believe that if the power of options and futures is available to retail investors, so too should leveraged funds. Im sure there was opposition to index funds when the first came out, and Im sure this is a similar situation. I agree one should check a box stating they understand that the fund they are about to buy is leveraged and subject to volatility decay; but they can still buy it. Limiting our freedoms to take risks and strive for success goes against everything that is American.

As someone who regularly and frequently invests in publicly traded securities it is my view that the federal government and its agencies do not have the right to tell individual investors what we can and cannot invest our money in. How or when I invest my assets is my decision and should not be limited by anyone.

While I agree that some of these funds should be limited to qualified investors, restricting all of these will limit my ability as a middle-class investor to grow my wealth through the stock market. Either lower the bar for qualification to participate in these funds so the growing group of new retail investor can reap the rewards of these funds OR do not restrict them in the first place - it will only continue to worsen the wealth gap in the US.
