The term "complex products" is a mask on an initiative aiming to limit the ability of lower net worth individuals to invest in the same high reward vehicles as their higher net worth counterparts. This regulation is another permutation of limiting access under the guise of limited understanding. Regarding those who actually have a limited understanding, why let them invest in
I disagree with the regulation of my right to invest in inverse and/or leveraged funds. The ability to invest in these types of funds ought to be available to all types of investors, not just the high net worth people. My ability to hedge my investments is even more important the smaller my portfolio and net worth are. The regulations if imposed would impede the ability to respond quickly to
To whom it may concern,
Please do not limit my investment options. I understand the risks involved with purchasing a leveraged fund. I understand the goals of such funds are to track the return of some underlying asset at a specific multiple. Furthermore, I understand the depreciation of such funds that occurs during periods of market volatility. I am thankful that these types of funds exist
Please do NOT regulate "complex products". I am a junior enlisted soldier whose income is comparable to the average minimum wage worker. I do not have a bachelor's degree let alone the knowledge of a niche finance professional. HOWEVER, it is my responsibility to understand what I am choosing to invest my earnings on. I, and other retail investors understand the risks of investment
Ive been recently informed of you trying to impose regulations & restrictions disqualifying normal people/investors from investing into crypto funds.

While I see some merit in making sure retail investors fully understand risks before directly trading on margin or shorting a stock, the proposal to restrict index/reverse index ETF investors is completely meritless; theres no specialized knowledge required to let the ETFs
I want to be able to decide for myself whether a particular leveraged or inverse investment vehicle is appropriate for my investment strategy. Although I have a middle-income-level job, I do not feel that I should have to submit to some kind of FINRA-mandated means testing or other qualifying criteria to invest in leveraged or inverse investment products. .
I have invested in some of these
I am totally opposed to the Proposed Rule #S7-24-15 for the following reasons: 1. I am a small investor that has invested in leverage funds for greater than 20 years and am quite capable of understanding the risks of using leverage funds. In fact, I find it offensive that a regulator would question my knowledge of the market by using some gimmick like passing a special test related to my
I oppose restrictions on my right to invest in vehicles that are of my own choosing, and I do not believe FINRA should be able to dictate to me about the use of my own money. I am capable of understanding public investment vehicles and I should not have to pass some sort of test in order to invest in them.

As an investor who has made use of inverse funds, including leveraged funds, over a period of approximately 20 years, I strongly oppose the restrictions and regulation described in this rule with respect to such funds.
