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 currently invest in the following:
Target Date Funds
Non-Traditional Index Funds (Smart Beta + ESG)
Emerging Market Funds
High Yield Bond Funds
Closed-end Funds
Commodity Funds
Cryptocurrency Funds
Unconstrained Bond Funds
Floating-rate/Leveraged Loan Funds
Leveraged/Inverse Products
Interval Funds
Global Real Estate Funds
ETNs
Variable Annuities
Defined Outcome ETFs
Volatility-Linked Funds
Currency Funds
Funds using cryptocurrency futures
Non-traded REITs
Business Development Companies
Opportunistic and Tactical, Multi-Strategy Funds
Funds using derivatives for hedging or leverage
Principal Protected Notes
Structured Notes
Asset-Backed Securities
Funds Selling Short
Start-up Company (IPO) Funds
Funds Investing in Unlisted Securities
Distressed Debt Funds
Absolute Return Funds
Finds of Hedge Funds
Reverse Convertible Notes
Market-linked CDs, and
Insurance-Linked Securities
I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities, like leveraged and/or inverse funds. I am very capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I do not need these extra measures imposed on me.
Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies. I use leverage and inverse funds, because they help me protect (hedge) my investments or give me enhanced returns, and I only use them as a limited part of my overall portfolio.
I oppose restrictions on my right to invest in public investments!
