Leveraged ETFs is the way for us to capture the upside of the market on small investment amount that we own. We can not be satisfied with risk less or 5% investment return product which may not be sufficient for our need. Also at the time of lows of the market it would be major blow to our strategies.
Since we own small amount and we completely rely on our constant monthly income our risk is more
I am writing to express my opposition to regulations that would hinder my investment in public securities, such as leveraged and inverse funds. Leveraged and inverse funds have been important to my investment strategy in the past as both a protective hedge and for periodically seeking enhanced returns. I have educated myself on the risks involved with said securities. I know how to use them.
Several Comments on FINRA Notice #22-08: 1) I understand exactly what inverse and leveraged funds are and do not wish to be burdened by any type of special process that delays or restricts my ability to invest in such funds. 2) I can choose for myself what investments are right for me and do not want any regulations that would restrict my choice to do so in any way while potentially letting
To Whom It May Concern:
I oppose adding undo burden on individual investors in relation to inverse and leveraged funds. Current disclosures are quite specific about the risks and intended timeframe of such investments -- almost forbiddingly so. As an individual investor, I have diverged from such guidance, but I feel sufficiently warned.
Individual investors will always make bad decisions. More
Comments: More restrictions hurt; they do not help. The market is risky, as are many things in life. It is an individuals responsibility to do due diligence before investing.

I won't speak to all "complex products" - but the vague, undefined and arbitrary definition should be more tightly drafted to not include or restrict retail customer access to investments as relatively simple as a 2x or 3x index-based fund. These types of investment can help pass along economies of scale with respect to borrowing and therefore increase access to the markets for
As prepared for deliveryToday’s conversation on disrupting the cycle of financial fraud is important and timely—and we are grateful to have been able to convene such a distinguished group of regulators, policymakers, academics, law enforcement agencies, advocacy groups and financial firms here today. You all play a vital role in protecting investors, advocating for victims and working to stop
I am writing to ask that you do not put investment restrictions on individual investors with regards to leveraged funds and inverse funds. These funds are safer than taking out margin in my brokerage account to leverage up my positions. Inverse funds are great for portfolio management at times like this when the stock market is over valued and the federal reserve is raising interest rates. It is
Good morning, It is my understanding that there are proposed restrictions on individuals using leveraged and inverse ETFs investment instruments. My use of ETFs offer me diversity, liquidity and income. The ETFs invest in a large number of stock which spread risk. The active ones also trade millions of shares per day which offer the ability to sell shares quickly and because of their volume the
The decision on whether or not an inverse or leveraged product be available to an investor ought to rest solely with the investor. Any investor who would be willing to use such products is well aware of the risks and can make their own financial decisions. These are complicated products that the retail trader would not use. To be able to properly invest in financial markets requires extensive
