Robert Allen Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

Leveraged funds allow investors to take on a relatively cheap form of leverage without risking margin call or needing to deal with the tax implications of rolling futures or options contracts. It shouldn't be the government's job to force investors to make what they consider "safe" investments, and in the digital age investors are only a google search and an hour away from learning about the additional risks of leveraged ETFs, such as volatility drag and fees.

Elizabeth Magno Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I am opposed to regulation #22-08.

I should be about to make my own decisions about my investments, not regulators. I can read & understand the notices that are provided when I choose an investment and should not be required to take a test to prove it.

I use inverse funds as well as other instruments and it will be detrimental to my portfolio if I am unable to use them.

I ask that regulation #22-08 not be enacted

Chong Choi Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

Dear Sir,

I clearly oppose any restrictions on my investment right. I am retired, meaning old enough to understand the risks of investing in leveraged and inverse funds. So, I only invest in those funds with small portion of my total investment amount. Sometimes, I need investment flexibility of leveraged funds, which can be accomplished with smaller amount of money. And, I invest in inverse funds for hedge purpose, which can be done efficiently with smallder amount of money too. So, I oppose any restrictions of my investment freedom of which funds I choose to invest.

Since savings accounts are, for all intents and purposes, gone or making an amount of interest smaller than inflation in a good year, I should have every right to pursue investments that interest me even if my starting capital is a small amount. It's ludicrous to tell me I can't invest because I'm not rich enough. Public securities are just that . . . . public. If we have a capitalist society, then all of this is especially true.
