I feel it is important for an individual investor to choose investments that are right for them, this includes leveraged and inverse funds that can greatly benefit an investor and provide enhanced returns, I am perfectly capable to understand the associated risks. Investment choices should not be restricted.
Leveraged and inverse ETFs are an important option for individual investors. They are NOT difficult to understand. Individual investors should have access to be able to both attempt to enhance returns and to hedge investments.
Equity investments in general are risk assets and do not have guarantees.
So many of the funds that may be at risk are important for individual investors to be able to access. It seems anti-democratic to keep them away from small investors and to only grant access to some of the best types of funds to rich (aka 'qualified') investors.
Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies. They help me protect/hedge my investments and seek enhanced returns. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. The loss of access to these instruments would hurt me considerably.
I oppose proposed restrictions on the use of leveraged investment products. I use them in a balanced portfolio which minimizes risk yet enhances returns. Individual investors are unable to access borrowed funds easily and these products offset that disadvantage.
Thank you.
I use inverse funds to hedge my risk against black swan events, such as the 2020 pandemic.
I (not regulators) should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family.
Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.
It should be my right to invest as I see appropriate for me. Be it equities, bonds, etfs, mutual funds, inverse and leveraged funds, etc. as all investments imply risk. It is up to the individual investor as to where, with due diligence, they wish to apply their money
I dont believe that leverged ETF and inverse ETFs should be locked behind account size, its probably fine to require understanding how they work, but if i want to take risks and potentially lose money i dont see why i should not be able to.
Why Does FINRA need more Power?
I am capable of making my own financial investment decisions together with my Financial Advisor.
This is the USA. and we should be free to risk what we have without more Regulation.
Please do not restrict these investments!!! Ive been investing in leveraged securities for over 20years and have extensive experience in them and they have been some of my top performing investments. I understand the risk and volatility and want the most growth
