Ian Defilippi-Valdivieso Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I would like to maintain my freedom to invest in public securities. My investment decisions are carefully decided from reading extensively. Changing the rules in this way is patronizing to thousands of investors that have strategies that differ from what regulator deem acceptable. If issuer is transparent and doesn't commit any fraud (which is the actual responsibility of our regulators), then they regulators should let investors make our own decisions.

To whom it may concern:

Leveraged funds are vital to responsible management of my family's investments. I've been tasked to safeguard our family monies and this responsibility has taken on extra urgency since my father died and my mother experienced a major stroke.

I have used SPXS as an insurance policy against a major market downturn. Certain external risk factors -- Putin, Climate Change, political unrest, widespread famine -- make this approach vital, given our limited assets. This fund enables a very low risk means of protection.

As an experienced non-accredited investor, I am totally opposed to limiting my investment options. Some of my best investments this year are on the list: commodity funds, managed futures funds, private REITs, etc. While stocks and bonds have performed very poorly in 2022, these investments have hedged some of my portfolios and actually perform well in an inflationary environment. Please do not limit our investment choices.

Individual investors should be allowed to invest in whatever they choose to invest THEIR hard earned money in. Limiting the availability of investments to whatever the government decides is capricious and poorly thought out. This is also a violation of constitutional rights in particular as it relates to the first amendment. Our constitutional freedoms are not just limited to speech, religion and happiness.
