SEC Staff Issues Guidance on Third-Party Recordkeeping Services
Dear Sirs:
I submit these comments in opposition to this FINRA Regulatory Notice:
I oppose limitations on use of ETFs that relate to "leveraged" or "inverse" funds. These ETFs are already fully disclosed to the public, and form a crucial part of many investor's plans for investing. Each individual is different; there is no "one size fits
Please do not restrict access to geared financial products. They are a beneficial part of an overall portfolio strategy. When accounting for time horizon, percentage of portfolio, hedging, and proper asset allocation geared products fit an important need of investors.

Individual investors should have the right to invest in a variety of asset classes and financial securities with varying amounts of risk rather than restrict them to a privileged few (trusts, hedge funds, high net worth individuals, etc.).

FINRA Regulators:
While I understand the concern of heightened risk posed by leveraged securities, I am alarmed at the proposed measures restricting investment into these publicly traded leveraged securities, especially requirements related to net worth, because these types of investments allow the type of returns necessary for lower net worth individuals to attain financial success, and
