Investors should have the freedom to make informed decisions about their investment choices. There are those who of us who desire to use reasonable leverage without the burden of adopting complex and costly options hedging strategies. Leveraged ETFs accordingly provide significant value to us as ordinary retail investors. It is hard to imagine anyone who does even a modicum of due diligence (even a basic Google search) not finding a huge volume of information warning of the potential risks associated with leveraged products. Please allow us to do our own research and make our own fully informed investment choices without taking away a very important avenue for us to use in hedging or potentially optimizing our returns per unit of risk.
