James DiGiorgio Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I have invested in inverse funds and find them to be a useful tool for my investment goals. I should be able to choose investments that I choose and not be 'disqualified' from any investment. For all the investments I make, I am aware of the risks and am able to utilize those different investment options. In particular, I have used inverse funds in the past and have found them to be useful to capture higher returns for my portfolio. Do not bar any class of investors from any types of investment.

It is the investors duty to make sure they perform they fulfill their due diligence on the stocks they are going to invest. Most of the trading platforms warn the investor about the nature and volatility risks of these stocks already. There is no need for extreme oversight as such. They should put these regulations in action for the gambling industry if they want to protect the consumers/retail traders as the risk of loss is much higher than the stocks!

I should be able to choose public investments that are right for me, and these investments should be available to all of the public. I should not have to go through a special process or test to invest in inverse and leveraged funds. I understand their risks well - information on them is widely available. Leveraged and inverse funds are an important part of my investing approach, allowing me to hedge against risk and/or achieve better returns. I use them as a limited part of my portfolio where higher risk is acceptable, and I monitor those risks on a daily basis.
