Please don't add further restrictions on purchasing these securities. I should be allowed to read the risk and then make my own decision.
Investors like me not regulators should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family.
Public investments should be available to all of the public,
not just the privileged.
I shouldn't have to go through any
The use of inverse and leveraged funds are a part of my investment strategy. Current regulations and requirements that are in place are proper and necessary. The brokerages are required to warn of the inherent risks as well as obtain written statements from clients that these risks are understood and accepted. LEAVE THINGS THE WAY THEY ARE. STOP TRYING TO SQUASH THE INDIVIDUAL INVESTOR. The
I strongly oppose the proposed regulation of complex products that might include leveraged and inverse funds. The assumption that retail investors do not know what they are doing is flawed. The retail investor should be able to choose investments that are right for them and not the regulators. The investor shouldn't have to go through any course before getting an approval to trade in
I see no reason I should be restricted from making money / profits from leveraged products as an individual investor. As an individual investor I want the ability to invest as I please without burdensome and frankly unnecessary impositions by regulators or obtaining the blessing of the provider of my brokerage account. While I could support limited net worth requirements I believe no one who
As a Financial Advisor, we have a small portion of our practice that uses leveraged and inverse ETFs in our clients accounts. We fully understand the risks involved. We employ multiple analytics in our decision making process, and use an active trading system in an attempt to mitigate the risks. The long-term results can be quite substantial for our clients. We feel it would not be in our clients
I believe as a middle class citizen that I have the right to invest in funds. Public investments should be available to all not just the privileged.
Leveraged funds provide a hedge against inflation. Which is at a already high rate as it is now. I personally use them only for a small portion of my portfolio but I can see the use of them greatly. However, yes I do see there risk. As with an
I am opposed to regulators interfering or restricting my rights as an investor. I use ETFs like these to enhance returns and often times even to protect me from downside risk (i.e. buying a market leveraged inverse when my portfolio has had outsized returns). I feel the regulators job should be one to provide information so people understand the risk, I don't feel they should limit my
I oppose this regulation because it limits my public investment options that fit within my risk tolerance. I am capable of making my own strategic investment decisions without the government imposing limitations. I understand leveraged and inverse funds and associated risks and do not think I should have to go through a special process or test before investing in these types of public securities
I am very much opposed to any limits or restrictions on an individual investor's ability to purchase non-leveraged inverse ETFs. These securities allow individual investors to hedge during periods when traditional markets are experiencing negative returns. For example, during the first four months of 2022 SPY was down (12.99)%, but SH had a positive return of 12.85% Likewise, IEF had
Leveraged funds allow investors to take on a relatively cheap form of leverage without risking margin call or needing to deal with the tax implications of rolling futures or options contracts. It shouldn't be the government's job to force investors to make what they consider "safe" investments, and in the digital age investors are only a google search and an
