Dear Regulators,
These leveraged and inverse funds are important part of my investment strategies. It helps me hedge my portfolio during market downtimes. I am aware of the risks involved. Any restriction around buying and selling will significantly harm my existing positions in these funds.
In fact, what we need is better supervision to eliminate any manipulations.
Any limiting regulations on my ability to utilize leveraged products will substantively reduce my investment returns and adversely impact my ability to hedge and enhance my positions. Investing and trading are not "risk free" endeavors. Denying products to the many as a few may suffer adverse consequences is unfair and punishes the "little guy" that so many regulators claim to
this regulation would limit my ability to invest as i want. the time and energy i put in to investing should not be cancelled because my net worth isnt high enough or i dont work in the finance industry. anyone who puts their money at risk in these funds needs to be accountable to themselves for those decisions. please dont try to put arbitrary restrictions on these products.
I oppose limitations to block or restrict my investing activities. All stocks have risk and if measures are sought to restrict a certain commodity then i say stop the whole global market trading as well. This is a gross overreach of FINRA to assume this is in the best interest of the investor. Tsla, amzn, nflz, fb, etc are significantly riskier than a leveraed etf based on the broad market.
Leveraged ETFs have become a very important part of my portfolio and retirement plan. They provide cheap, accessible leverage for normal investors like me, and without them I would be unable to utilize leverage in my situation. I fully understand the risks and use them as part of a larger, unleveraged, diversified portfolio, and Im sure many others do the same.
Being able to invest in an inverse bond fund has allowed me to mitigate risk that I would be unable to achieve on my own. Without the freedom to invest a small part of my portfolio in an inverse bond fund I would have suffered significant losses, and I lack the bandwidth to buy and sell options directly. The 1% overhead cost of the fund is well worth it.
Hello. Although I do believe that certain investments are not for everybody, restricting publicly traded investments is not the right path. Fidelity Investments has a Designated Investor Agreement to have on record that I understand the risks associated with more complex etfs and investments. I feel that is enough of a warning, but please do not restrict me from using these for my personal
This is not difficult to understand
Leveraged ETFs are not suitable for all investors and should be utilized only by investors who understand the risks associated with seeking daily leveraged and inverse investment results, and intend to actively monitor and manage their investments. Due to the daily nature of the leveraged and inverse investment strategies employed, there is no guarantee of long
Please don't restrict my ability to trade "complex productswhich could include the leveraged and inverse funds. My net worth is relatively low, but I am perfectly capable of reading pertinent documents and I fully understand what my risk are when trading. I have been trading leveraged and inverse funds for years and want to continue doing so.
I am an engineer and has strong understanding of the characteristics and risks of L&I Funds, and that their purpose is for short-term active trading. I never invest in these funds for longer term. I can say there is nothing complex to understand how L&I funds work. America is a country of equal opportunities so equal trading rights should be given to retail investors as well as
