These products need to stay available for an overall portfolio and everyone should have access to these funds. They already disclose enough information for an investor to make a sound decision on the product and be aware of all the good and bad that comes with that product. There is no need to add additional regulations to these products especially requiring the investor to take a test. There are already strict stipulations in place to enter into these products and this will only suppress investors having the freedom to choose their investments based on their desires and choice.

Please do not restrict the use and trading of existing leveraged exchange traded funds, and other sorts of "alternative" funds. These are parts of important investment strategies for individual investors like myself, that allow us to manage risk in our portfolios in more effective ways than conventional index funds. These products give individuals like myself access to strategies that are infeasible to small investors without using advisors or funds that charge very high fees.

Hi, I like to have freedom to invest in leveraged and inverse funds without going through tests and additional constraints. I usually do my research on what I'm investing and so knowledgeable enough to make my own independent decisions considering all risks involved. I usually use these funds to hedge my investments or get some higher returns based on their leverage. I want investment options to be less complex and seamless and not go through too many levels of rules and regulations. So, please keep these funds available for easy investment through online brokerage.
