Please don't limit investment options for investors. While some may not understand how complex products work, those of us who do find these particularly beneficial at times. For example, since the beginning of 2022 both equity and bond markets have stumbled while interest rates have increased. Because of inverse treasury funds like TBX and TBF, interest rate tracking funds like PFIX, and inverse market funds like SH (inverse of the SP 500), I have been able to maintain and grow my family's portfolio.

Comments: As someone with the CFA designation that uses triple leveraged funds for their personal investment strategy, I do not feel that this rule should be passed. In economic downturns line were are experiencing, the use of triple leverage funds can be extremely advantageous for investors that understand the risks associated with such investments and track their investment performance. Disclosures around these funds provide adequate warning to investors using them for aggressive strategies and act as a means of discouragement for less seasoned investors.

I WHOLEHEARTEDLY OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS TO MY RIGHT TO INVEST! This is absurd, I should have the right to invest my money the way I see fit without the interference of any kind of regulators. Public investing should be made available to the public, not just the privileged. This is completely biased and would affect people of color and other minorities! I shouldnt have to go through a special processes to prove I can invest my own money. This sounds eerily like the 1950s and 1960s when black people were subjected to ridiculous tests to prove they can vote!

A reasonable review of an investors competence could provide value for these leveraged products. However, having invested for twenty years on my own, I will say there's less knowledge required and less risk in these products than individual options. Similar to leveraged products, individual stock options can also be used as a hedge or to provide higher growth potential, however, they take more time and effort to define the correct company, growth opportunity and risk reward potential. I can use these leveraged products and understand the risk reward scenario much easier. thank you.

Respected Sir/Mam, We appreciate rule making in the interest of consumers. But it is very important, we consumers be given the option to decide which funds are suitable for our risk appetite. We need the option to diversify and be able to invest in the ever growing Crypto ecosystem. Please do not impose any restrictions on us or our ability to invest in Crypto funds like BTCFX or BITO. It is an impotant part of our investment strategies.
