Certainly these funds can be misused, misunderstood, or over-allocated to but that shouldnt prohibit the responsible use of such funds. I believe guidance, not
I recognize that some investors do not fully appreciate the risks of investing in these funds. However, for investors who understand them, they represent one of the few ways non-high net worth investors can simulate the strategies of hedge funds restricted to high net worth individuals. They level the playing field especially inverse funds whose implicit interest rates are much lower than the
To whom it may concern. I am writing in regards to the proposed restrictions on certain investment vehicles. My position is let the free markets decide which type of investment are marketable and of interest to the investment community. Politicians are not in a good position to make these decisions.
