I would like to comment on the rule to limit access for retail investors to "complex" instruments. As an infrequent trader, I understand the risk involved in investing. Those were clearly explained by online brokers I use and reinforced by all the research I've done and many years of trading I have. That said, leveraged and inverse funds are important tools that help hedge risks during the time of economic uncertainty, like those that we are going through in the last few years. Limiting access to those tools for investors as me would actually make our portfolios more risky and push into investing too more volatile assets such as cryptocurrencies. I strongly believe in free market and the freedom of each of individuals to choose any lawful way to invest their money. Thank you for consideration,
