Alternative, "alt" or “liquid alt” funds are publicly offered, SEC-registered funds that use investments or strategies that can differ from what is offered in a typical fund. Compared to more traditional mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs), liquid alt funds tend to hold investments that extend beyond equities and bonds or employ more complex or sophisticated strategies.
Please do not reduce the investing freedom of individual investors. We should be free to make our own investing decisions, whether they are wise or not - that is our decision to make. This would further stack the deck against individuals, when institutional investing firms already have myriad tools and freedoms that are not given to average people. Furthermore, these firms have shown no better
I would oppose FINRA regulatory notice #22-08. Regulators should not be able to choose which public investments that me or my family can make.
I should not have to pass a test to invest in public securities.
Brokers should not be required to screen me before I can invest in public securities.
Leveraged and inverse funds allow me to better hedge my portfolio.

I strongly oppose any regulator dictating where and how I can invest my personal money. Investments are an at risk activity and the potential for losses are not limited to leveraged and inverse ETFs. I am confident that I know my risk tolerance better than a federal regulator. If the investment is one I am comfortable investing in I am entitled to the freedom to invest my money, independent of
It is the right of everyone to have the equal opportunities in every aspect of life. The right to invest in products such as these should not be limited to a general definition of qualified. I did better for my personal finances than my employer matched IRA (managed by Raymond James since post Covid crash 2020) even though I began my investing journey in 2021. Removing the ability to invest takes
Please stop treating investor's like children in kindergarten that need to be protected from themselves -- like a typical Government agency, you think you know better. Stay out of my way - I'm entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness - that means I can invest where I choose to, hopefully, obtain certain results. All stocks have risks and I understand what those
I oppose restrictions on my right to invest in public investments.
I should be able to choose the public investments that right for me. Public investment should be available to everybody, not just the privileged.
I'm capable to select what is better for me them you, since you don't have a clue what my needs are.
Please, do not change what is working. Every time you regulators,
Dear regulators, I do not think it is appropriate to further regulate investors in this regard. I am not a professional investor according to most definitions, but still I have been able to use several leveraged funds *more* effectively than I have individual securities. The regulatory restrictions that apply to me actually tend to result in *worse* decisions on my part, not better. I do not
You have no right in how much I can invest or tax me I'm trying to get a better future for me and my kids you move forward this well put me and family poor and I don't like to be poor investing is the only way I see to have a future other then working for the rest of my life leave me alone and get off my pockets stop sending money to other countries
I am a regular investor. 1.Inverse fund helps correct the portfolio better than bond when even a common investor like me can know that market is overpriced. 2. Leverage fund can be regulated but only to the point of reading the prospectus, if prospectus takes 60 min of fast reading then only keep the restriction of not able to buy the leverage fund for 60 min. This should be done only once per
