Joshua Hykes Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

Please do not further restrict or regulate public trading in leveraged ETFs. My family uses several leveraged ETFs to smooth our investment risk over time (temporal diversification). Leveraged ETFs are easy and tax-efficient means to increase our investment exposure early in our accumulation phase so that we can take less risk near the end of the accumulation phase. Additional regulation will likely make it harder to find such products, and increase the associated fees due to less competition.

James Swindler Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

As an investor who has made use of inverse funds, including leveraged funds, over a period of approximately 20 years, I strongly oppose the restrictions and regulation described in this rule with respect to such funds. I am a seasoned investor and am fully capable of evaluating the characteristics, risks, advantages and disadvantages of inverse funds, leveraged or otherwise. I do need a nanny state to decide what investments I should be allowed to purchase.
