I strongly oppose the upcoming regulations on certain types of funds that would exclude the public from access to these investments in their portfolios. Every citizen should be allowed to decide what they choose to invest in, and not be subject to limits based on overall net worth or formal investment education and approval by individual brokers. Now more than ever, investing has become
SEC Approval and Effective Date for New Consolidated FINRA Rules on the Transfer of Customer Accounts, Recommendations to Customers in OTC Equity Securities and Anti-Intimidation/Coordination
I am an individual retail investor and my family relies on proceeds from my investment activities for consistent monthly income. We are now fully retired.
We frequently rely on inverse and leveraged trading vehicles (ETF's), in limited appropriate amounts, to help meet monthly income targets. These short-term tools are absolutely critical to our monthly returns, as well as for our
Retail investors are becoming more and more skilled, even as people have begun to invest from less traditional backgrounds. Requiring testing or other requirements prior to allowing investment in certain investment vehicles and products would effectively shut out many retail investors, particularly investors that are from non-traditional investment backgrounds.
Many investors, particularly
I strongly disagree with limiting the leveraged and inverse fund. Firstly, USA flaunt it is free market all the time. If regulators decide to do so, then whats the difference between USA and China. How can USA complain about the China is not free market? USA is not free market neither. Since 2020, FED has infinitely printed money in the name of saving economy to pump and manipulate the financial
I find it odd that FINRA would require individuals to possess a net worth of greater than 1.000.000 dollars or an income of over 200.000 a year in order to invest in leveraged ETFs. This effort blatantly furthers the financial disparity in the United States unequally allowing privileged individuals to create larger pools of wealth. No correlation exists between a persons competency and the size
Individual investors did not blow up the economy in 2008 with the use of leveraged investments they didn't understand, over-leveraged financial institutions (and the credit agencies that bodies like FINRA failed to regulate) did. Are you planning on prohibiting those same financial institutions from using leveraged investment or are you going to once again bend retail over in the guise of
I consider the proposed restrictions for individual investors to trade leveraged ETF's to be an egregious attack on my personal freedom. I do not need another Big Brother interfering to protect me from any perceived risk to my financial security. I am fully aware of the risk and use these instruments to hedge and protect myself from loses. The prospectus for every fund that I have
I am concerned that broad strokes are being made to decide what is overall the right investments for the American public. More and more investments are being put in the domain of "accredited investors" and it is going to prevent the American people from being successful. People, not regulators, should be able to choose the types of public investments that are right for them and their
The mission of Regulatory Economics and Market Analysis (REMA) is to elevate FINRA’s ability to make sound regulatory and policy decisions and foster innovation in regulation through best-in-class research and analysis.
