Clay Broussard Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I very often use leveraged inverse ETFs to hedge my portfolio at the most efficient way possible. The loss of this choice would significantly reduce my potential to protect my portfolio from downside losses during market corrections. I strongly request putting restrictions and limits on leveraged and inverse ETF investing be terminated from consideration. Going forward with these restrictions is very UN-AMERICAN.

I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me. 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 you can invest in public securities like leveraged and inverse funds. Explain that you are capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. Thank you!

I am writing to oppose the possible upcoming changes from regulators on how I can invest my own money. My money is MY MONEY, and no one should have the authority to control my investment options. When necessary, I seek my own council from my trusted financial wealth sources to make my investment decisions. If I choose to invest in leveraged and inverse funds, this is my decision, and I am aware of the risks associated with them and all my other investment choices. Imposing tests and other restrictions by regulators is clearly overreach.

In light of the recent boom in private and boutique investments, I completely understand the benevolent spirit with which FINRA is attempting to protect small investors from themselves. Leveraged and inverse funds pose a risk hardly understood by everyone with a Robinhood or a TD account. However, those of us laypeople who receive investment advising and learn from friends, family, and literature are now having their rights to strategically invest threatened in the crossfire. As follows, I hope FINRA moves its tactics from regulation to investment education.

Please do not restrict my ability to invest in inverse funds. I don't want my only choice to be long the market or out of the market. The government policy of setting artificially low interest rates for far too long leaves me little choice. My retirement savings is being eaten away by inflation, whether inflation is high or inflation is low. I need the same investment options available to me that are available to the wealthy. Otherwise I don't see that I stand a chance to keep my head above water.
