Instead of restricting people from using leveraged instruments, work on educating people on the advantages and disadvantages. It is our money at risk, and we should not be restricted because a handful of individuals got clobbered using a use these tools.
Inverse ETFs are a valuable tool that help retail investors hedge long exposures without the complexities and risks of using put options. Please do not limit our access to these vehicles. Thank you for your consideration.
Prohibiting these investments is regulatory overreach. Required attestations and waivers should be enough to let individual investors manage their own risks. Moreover, implementing a net worth minimum just reserves the ability for enhanced returns for the already-wealthy.
All investors should be able to freely choose their own investment strategy. We dont need more regulation. Regular disclosures from fund managers is sufficient to protect investors and provide adequate notice of the risks.
This is insane. If I want to take on a large risk profile who are you tell me what to invest and not invest into. This is borderline communism not letting me pick and choose where to place my money in a free and open market
The Government should not be over stepping their power by restricting us from investing in the way we choose. We know the risks and are able to make our own choices. We need to have all the options on the table.
This is my money, I do not need anyone telling me how to invest it. I am assuming the risk involved in investing by using my money to make those investments. I do not need permission to invest my money.
I am fully aware of the risks I take with my investments. I do not need the Government to protect me from myself. Leveraged funds are important to my investment strategies for retirement because they help to maximize returns on my investments.
I have invested in various ProShares stocks for more than 7 years. I fully understand the risks. Currently, my investments in ProShares products are a small percentage of my overall investments. I would like to continue to invest in ProShares products.
I believe that any restrictions on inverse or leveraged ETFs would result in an inability for investors to hedge the risks to their portfolios that are inherent in the market.
I use such ETFs myself and find them to be a very useful tool in implementing my investment strategies.
