Niranjana Makki Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I am writing to oppose restrictions to my right to invest in leveraged and inverse funds. These funds are very important to my investment strategy and I shouldn't have to go through any special process to invest in these funds. Public investments should be available to all and not to just a few people. I fully understand the risks of leveraged funds and I use them as a hedge and also to enhance my returns following my own carefully thought out investment strategy. Please consider my comments above and do not impose any restrictions.

I strongly disagree with the proposed regulations to limit the public securities that individuals can purchase. Having access to leveraged and inverse products allows individuals to protect themselves as integral parts of their portfolios and create opportunities to build wealth. There are obviously risks associated with these products, as there are with all investments, but deciding on ones risk tolerance should be an individuals decision, not regulators.

To Whom it May Concern: I am writing in opposition to SEC Proposed Rule #S7-24-15 which would place unduly burdensome restrictions on persons wishing to invest in leveraged an inverse funds. This rule would require passing a test, showing high net worth, "cooling off" periods and other impediments that would do nothing to address the risk that regulators perceive in these investments.
