Hello,
I use leveraged products from Proshares and Direxion as part of my portfolio.
I have read, understood the prospectus and know they behave as expected (by simulating and backtesting over flat/medium/extreme market or different timeframe scenarios).
They deliver asymetric risk profiles that are great tools to enhance returns and limit losses, if managed responsibly.
I now use them as part of
Im extremely disappointed at the consideration of new regulations which would put regulators instead of individuals the right to choose investments that are right for us and our families. Why should public investment be made available only to privileged elites?
Many investors like myself utilize leveraged and inverse funds not only to enhance gains but also to manage risks in certain market

I truly believe there is a place in ones portfolio for leveraged and inverse funds. In fact, if used correctly, the can minimize the risk in a portfolio. I've used inverse funds as a short term hedge during the Covid crash of 2021 and during the recent market correction. By investing 10-20% of my portfolio in these inverse funds, I was able to reduce volatility and manage risk

I am a novice investor. I have several friends who are also novice investors. We're responsible, upstanding people with day jobs who have earned our money and have made a conscious decision about the kind of risks we'd like to take with that money. We understand the risks we're taking. We

I should be able to choose which publicly traded investments are right for my investment objectives and not regulators. All people should have the ability to buy publicly traded funds and not just those who are at a certain net worth.

I strongly feel that American investors such as myself should continue to have the right to invest in leveraged & inverse ETF's if we so choose. To have some regulatory body make that decision for us I feel is un-American, un-called for and unnecessary. I have been investing in leveraged & inverse ETF's since 2013 and I continue to invest in them because of the great
I am very concerned to hear that you, as a regulatory body, want to take away the option for investors to invest in inverse funds. These funds are and have been a big part of my investment strategies over the years as an investment option to protect my downside risks in periods of market volatility.
