Sriram Krishnan Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

Hi SEC, I am a regular investor, investing myself for my money growth to help my family. The 2x and 3x leveraged ETF's give me a brilliant way to carefully craft my strategies for investment needs. I use it very carefully with proper hedging and fully aware of the risks of the downside. It would be pain to see these products go-away from the marked for individual investors like me who is fully aware of the risk and use it carefully when appropriate with proper mitigation.

I'm a former registered investment advisor and was on the board of the National Futures Association as a CTA representative on the self regulatory body for the futures industry. I also served as an arbitrator on cases where clients were suing their futures brokers. In my experience over 45 years of trading, investors in the US have been handicapped in providing themselves strategies and products that can be used to mitigate risk or use to capture a return stream of their choosing. I have seen a steady flow of regulations over the years that give investors a false sense of security.

I don't agree with limiting investors choices in regards to which funds can be invested in, especially in regards to inverse market funds. It's my understanding you intend to enact measures to restrict investors rights to invest in these types of funds if the investors don't meet certain criteria. I believe strongly that investors should be allowed to make their own choices. I don't believe that it is the right thing to do to restrict access to these funds.
