I am the portfolio manager for a $280 million dollar RIA. But I am also an individual investor who is growing increasingly concerned about the regulatory creep which aims to impose additional restrictions on retail investors. There has been a long history of gatekeeping investments in the US, where only the very wealthy have had access to the full range of investment options. I have been pleased
Dear Sirs, I have read your proposed regulations related to "complex" investments, and I would like to voice my opinion. I am somewhat surprised that regulators are focused on the investors themselves rather than on the fundamental function of regulating the markets through conditions imposed on funds and traded securities. I would definitely approve and happily participate in any

I have been investing since 1998. The first time I placed a trade it cost $75 to place the trade over a phone. I don't wish to go back to those days. Nor do I want regulators telling me what I can and can't invest in or require me to pass a test to demonstrate my knowledge. I have invested in both leveraged and inverse funds. Inverse funds are especially useful for hedging.
The leveraged ETF's are a way for the little guy to make money. One of the big advantages that Wall St. has over the little guy is a plethora of capital at their disposal. The little guy invests with the little extra savings from their paychecks or bonuses. It's almost impossible to build wealth with the little extra savings most Americans accumulate each year. The old saying

Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies. they help my protect (hedge) my investments or seek enhanced returns.I use them as a limited part of my overall portfolio.

I am a CPA by trade currently working in the banking sector and have combined public/private experience of more than 20 years. I actively manage my retirement account as well as family fund. I hold bachelor and master degrees in accounting/finance and has been self-educating myself in investing over the years. I don't need a broker license or CFA title because I don't intend
