Hahns Copeland Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I not regulators should be able to choose the public investments that are right for you and your family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies. I use leverage and inverse funds to help hedge my investments and seek enhanced returns, and I use them as a limited part of my overall portfolio.

Dear Sirs and Madams: I feel that I have the right to invest in any investment that fits my financial requirements without having to 'pass a test'. These proposed regulations treat US citizens as children! I do not need 'help' from Federal Regulators to manage my money. Leveraged and inverse funds are an important and critical part of my investment strategy. When markets are in a correction and/or 'Bear Market', inverse funds offset losses for my longterm investments. Please let adults manage their own interest and stop trying to 'help us'!

There are many ways to design a portfolio as one tries to balance growth and risk. One method is to create a low volatility portfolio and use leverage to achieve the desired growth rate. There are many ways to achieve leverage in a portfolio such as margin, options, and futures. Leveraged ETF's provide another mechanism to leverage a portfolio that is much simpler and potentially cheaper than these other methods. Please preserve my ability to use these leveraged ETF's in my portfolio.

After 50 years of investing including the use of leveraged and inverse funds; I believe I have the right as well as the responsibility to control my own investments. I do not need or want measures inacted that would only impair my investing. I use inverse funds to stabilize my portfolio and to offset some of my long position. I started trading these funds when I was young. That's how I learned. Don't take this adventure away from other investors.
