Sam Augusta Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I not regulators should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public,not just the privileged. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I don't need the government to baby-sit me. Furthermore, leveraged and inverse funds help me to hedge my investments and, with the right timing, get enhanced returns when using them as a limited part of my overall portfolio. Concerned Investor

I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I do not need these measures imposed on you. FINRAs definition of complex products is so broad, arbitrary and vague that it could ensnare a vast number of commonly used public securities. Tests or criteria to determine investor understanding are subjective and could lead to unfair or even discriminatory treatment of investors.

Please do not burden leveraged and inverse ETFs with more regulation. You will be taking my rights away to freely invest in these vehicles. I should be able to make my own choices and not be restricted by government excessive oversight. I shouldn't be required to pass a test to invest. Inverse funds are important to me to mitigate risk when investing and protecting against the downside. I understand these risks.
