Please allow investors to make their own decisions on funds and securities they choose to invest in. I have personally been making my own investment decisions for several decades now. Leveraged investments are important to my strategies as I am able to stay ahead of market conditions (like inflation) vs. barely breaking even with non-leveraged investment options. Having to prove my means and abilities are contrary to a free capital markets mindset that each individual should have as a self-evident right.

I should have the right to invest in leveraged and inverse funds without restriction. Risks are disclosed up front so I do not need protection from regulators, thank you.

I should be able to choose my own investments without an added burden of the new rules you are considering. My broker already has my investment background and experience, so no federal survey is needed. A test is an especially onerous requirement. It is already clear when purchasing a leveraged or inverse fund what the risks are.

I oppose limitations on my investments. Dont regulate the right to buy leveraged and inverse funds.

The is an addendum to a previous comment I made. Prohibiting inverse funds would remove people's ability to hedge against down markets in a cost effective manner. The expense ratios of these inverse and leveraged inverse funds are much more manageable than taking out margin loans and opening oneself up to margin calls. The liquidity and affordability of these fund should not and cannot be limited to only a select few.

I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me. Public investments should be available to all of the public not just the privileged. I should not have to pass a test to invest in public securities like leveraged and inverse funds. Leveraged and inverse funds are important for me to be able reduce risk in my investment portfolio.

I should continue to decide what I wish to trade > period

I want to be able to choose what investments are right for me and my family. Sometimes, the right investment is a short ETF. Regulators should not be able to limit our investment opportunities.

I believe I should have the right to invest in Proshares funds as well as others like these funds. Please do not limit my ability to invest in these types of leveraged funds.

I have personally been an investor for years and utilise leveraged investment products to boost my returns. I know the risks involved and choose to use a small portion of my overall money invested in these products to supplement standard, non-leveraged mutual and exchange traded funds. The leveraged funds are already regulated and restricted to have limited offerings. Taking away more freedom to invest in what is available feels like my rights and freedoms are being removed. More regulation is not needed.
