Paul Fernandes Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I am a retail investor and have been trading various of these “complex” products for well over a decade (leveraged/inverse ETF’s and options). I find the premise of this Regulatory notice to be highly suspect – that retail investors are not sophisticated enough to be able to trade these PUBLIC instruments and should have sufficiently high impediments put in place to discourage or bar their use ( i.e. Restrictions or limitations on retail customer access to complex products (e.g., limiting access to high-net worth or other categories of customers)).

Comments:FINRA should restrain from limiting access to leveraged funds. These funds are suitable for any investor that understands how leverage can be effective in achieving a financial goal. Obviously these funds are more for short term trading so the trader should be vigilant. Long term inexperienced buy and hold investors are better served elsewhere. Any investor should have access to these funds, it is the responsibility of the investor to understand the risks of investing and of trading. Government should not stand in the way to limit a persons capability and success.

please don’t close or restrict leveraged ETFs. Those are for many years and people made money. If you saw a risk on those you should take action when market was hot during November 2021. Retail investors like me lost money on stock market. If you close or restrict trading thess probably I will not get back my money. I think this is a regulatory scam. Request your kind consideration to have those leveraged ETF to run as it is
