I am a private citizen and individual investor concerned about limits on leveraged and inverse. These funds are an important tool for me as they present another method of limited exposure to leverage with less downside risk than many other leveraged strategies.

Leveraged products should be treated like any other high risk stocks or instrument, i.e., raise the margin requirement but do not require any undue
Dear FINRA Regulatory panel,

As a small business owner and someone who enjoys directing my own investments, I want to comment on the proposed regulation of leveraged and inverse funds. Leveraged funds make up a small, but important part, of my investment strategy. These funds are not difficult to understand nor are their potential risks and benefits. My investment strategy is conservative but leveraged funds give me an
