Regarding Regulatory Notice 22-08, I am submitting my comments opposed to this proposed regulation. Limiting access to inverse and leveraged ETFs is unnecessary and only reinforces public opinion that the 'system is rigged' against the retail investor.
I have used these ETFs for short-term positions and have found the disclosures and warnings about these issues to be clear
We are in the dawn of the empowered, intelligent investor and these restrictions are a clear step backwards in empowering the individual to make choices for their own financial well-being.
Leveraged funds have allowed me to seek enhanced returns without the need for obtaining further credit. This was incredibly helpful when I was younger and had less ability to obtain credit lines for this
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.
I work in the financial industry and I fully understand the pros and cons of the leveraged and inverse funds. One can achieve leverage through other ways like margin, so I do not see why leveraged funds are
I do not need a regulator to tell me when and how I can invest in leveraged or inverse funds. They are easy products to understand and much less complicated than options.

I have used these types of instruments for many years as a hedge in my portfolio. I am certainly able, and motivated to understand risks and upsides to leveraged
Received the letter, thank you for this reminder. I have been studying and managing finances for a long time, considering that this is a common investment for me and my family.

Limiting the options for individuals to invest in public investments, which any sort of investment, whether its a security, ETF, CD, stock, fund, note, trust, etc, whether its complex, or not is not justified.

As an investor, I'd like to decide for myself for what I can invest in. I oppose for the regulators to limit my freedom of choice when it comes to what I can invest.

Leveraged and Inverse funds play an important role in managing my clients aum. I use them to hedge in down markets like the one we are currently experiencing.
