Zachary Hughes Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I have been an investor for many years and I have experienced very positive returns by investing in leveraged ETFs. I believe you should allow people to make up their own minds if they can stand the risks involved with investing. I think it is only fair to allow the average person a chance to try and catch up with all the rich people in the world. If leveraged ETFs are used in balance with more conservative investments such as bond funds, they can greatly improve an investor's long term performance.

We do not need further regulations on funds which can be invested by normal people. Further limiting parties who can invest in these funds removes opportunities for investment equality as well as potential economic growth. Any stock market investment should be considered for risk. There is already significant notifications as to the additional risks involved in a leveraged fund. Please do not add further barriers to trading for normal people. That in itself could negatively impact the performance of these funds.

I am currently an investor in leveraged and inverse instruments -- these are an important part of my investment strategy. Yes they require some extra work to understand, but they have proven to be a successful investment strategy for me. I do not think you should be regulating access to these vehicles -- the more you restrict access to vehicles like this to "priviledged" individuals, the more unbalanced the financial markets become. Force the right disclosures (which you already do) and then let the market function the way it is supposed to.

It poses a severe threat towards market fairness. It's like preventing people from skiing because it's dangerous, but except the rich ones. Retail traders or investors should be able to freely choose whatever products that fit their trading strategies. Finance is NOT only for the rich or the privileged. We know what leveraged funds are. Also, the liquidity will be severely affected if passed.

I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities. I am capable of understanding my investments and their risks. I do not need
these measures imposed on me.
