It is critical that all investors and not select few institutional traders or prescreened individuals have access to all instruments helping us protect our portfolio and retirement funds. Leveraged and inverse funds offer critical ability to reduce our portfolio beta in the times of volatility and control broad risk exposure without complex instruments like options or betting on individual
I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before you can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. Explain that you are capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for you and your family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not
I am writing to comment against passage of proposed rule #S7-24-15. As a retiree the use of inverse and leveraged funds are important vehicles for managing risk to my retirement. They provide diversification that is not available in any other products. I do not need to be protected from using these products. Indeed if these products had not been available to me my retirement portfolio would be
I do not feel that I should be restricted or hampered from investing in these types of funds just because someone (who doesn't even know me) feels I'm not capable of undrestanding the risks. I also feel that I should not have to go through any process that will make it more difficult for me to continue to invest in these types of funds. As such, I strongly oppose restrictions to my
I am very concerned that you are considering placing more restrictions on my ability to invest as I see fit. A perfect example is with the bear market we are now in, without inverse ETFs available, I would have no choice but to sit in cash. The deck is already stacked too much against the small investor. I understand the risks of leverage ETFs, but I have used them, and I consider them a
I oppose restrictions to my rights to invest in public investments. Public investments should be available to retail investors, including leveraged and inverse ETFs/funds. I understand the risks of these products and use them for both hedging purposes as well as investment strategies for a limited part of my portfolio to enhance returns. Restrictions and obstacles to access of these
Regarding Pro-Shares (SDS), "we the people" do not want more regulation on "complex products" or any other regulation that prevents free will based on market conditions. Instead, your energy should be focused on the education of risk for these products ONLY. Your intervention in this matter, in itself, is controlling and disruptive to current investors. An
Myself not regulators should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and your family. Public investments should be available to all of the public not just the privileged. I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before you can invest in public securities. I am capable of understanding my investments and their risks. I do not need these
I oppose restrictions to my ability to invest in leveraged funds. Each investor should have the ability to invest their money as they see fit and take risks they can tolerate. I fully understand leveraged investments and use they frequently to boost returns against rising inflation. Restricting access to leveraged ETFs only helps large powerful brokers and undermines the average investors ability
