Jason Kozlowski Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08
As an investor in leveraged funds, I find it upsetting, and frankly, ridiculous that regulators are investigating banning these funds in the name of protecting the consumer.

As an Fellow of the Society of Actuaries (FSA), I have a strong understanding of risk. I use leveraged funds to obtain a beta in my portfolio of ~1.25. People use these leveraged funds to a desired level of risk that they are comfortable with. Taking away our ability to invest in these funds is taking away our freedom to obtain our goals.
Freedom to invest must be maintained for all!
As an investor and former stock broker, I am very opposed to your regulatory agency telling me and the general public what we can an can't invest in, and reserving these investments to specific individuals (ie: high wealth and those in the know) and restricting everyone else. You need to keep to more important matters and away from what Soros funded organizations want you to do. Remember, You work for the investor.
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.
I am against this rule and want freedom to invest in any fund.
Please dont limit me
I oppose limitations on my investments.
Please stop restricting my ability/right to invest. I was building a small business of mining and earning interest on mined BTC through crypto lending but now I am no longer able to invest into my interest bearing account, which has hamstringed my ability to secure those compound gains. I will NOT be voting for ANY crypto negative politicians, and I am very dissatisfied with the manner the current elected/appointed officials have lazily mishandled and ignored proper and fair crypto regulations for the masses.
Adult Americans can and should be capable of investment decisions without ham handed, paternalistic special procedures or restrictions concocted by a largely unaccountable bureaucracy.
