Mark Perisich Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I hope it is not true FINRA is going to restrict trading in leveraged and inverse ETFs. I have used this vehicles for financial planning for 15 years. They just one of many invaluable tools to be used in certain situations. There are risks in EVERY investment. Leveraged funds get a bad rap, but if you study the math, it is really unjustified. Yes, they have higher fees, which can be an issue. But there are many un-truths behind them. Please do not restrict them

Please allow my research and judgement to decide the best investment vehicles for my money. All tools require effort and time to learn. None are more complex than others. ETPs like Inverse ETF funds go the opposite direction of a benchmark. How is this difficult to understand? In fact, in my ROTH IRA this is the safest means to hedge against the market going lower. I don't want to go through special approvals or tests to buy any ETP such as an ETF. Their purpose, objective & method of operational are clearly explained.

In September 2022 I will have been retired 10 years. Leveraged ETFs have made it possible for me to continue my preretirement lifestyle while being able to be generous to my children, their spouses, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. I have also increased my retirement savings while doing this. It would be unfair to change the rules and exclude me because I am not worth enough.

Leverage and Inverse ETFs are clearly described in the prospectus(s) and in my experience the returns have been exactly inline with the stated objectives of the fund. These funds have been very useful to me in expressing particular views on the market in a simple transaction. It is important that the playing field be FAIR - and to me, that means that individual investors should have access to the same products as professionals.
