Luke Irby Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

You 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. Tell regulators you do not need these measures imposed on you. Myself, Not people that impose and regulate should have the right to choose what to invest in publicly and privately. Its my money not yours

Access to specialized financial products, such as inverse funds has allowed me to hedge against market drops and retain and grow the value of my IRA over the last several volatile years. In addition, I have held target date and other non-traditional emerging/global markets funds as a simple way of diversifying my portfolio. Removing the ability of smaller AUM individual investors to access these investments is only allowing ultra high net worth individuals and professional investors access to outperformance.

You regulate everything, yet I watch the well connected get away with all sorts of corruption. How about enforce existing laws and stop making new ones. If the government and the people running it are so smart, the country would not be $30 trillion in debt. I am much better at making decisions for myself than a bunch of bureaucrats that have not shown they can run anything. Leveraged and inverse funds allow small investors to manage risk that only large investors typically have access to. Please let me run my own life and make my own decisions!

I should be able to choose what investments are right for me and am capable of understanding them. Leveraged and inverse funds are VERY important to my strategies. I use them to enhance my strategy when I make projections and want to get ahead of trends. The use of leveraged assets by the average investor is essential for leveling the playing field. Please do not restrict access based on asset level or knowledge, without them my returns would be handicapped.
