N/A
Restricting leveraged investment products to high net worth individuals only harms the retail investor. A retail investor can already access significant amounts of leverage through student loans and real estate, LETFs are no different. So long as the investment prospectus is clear, risk rightfully falls entirely on the investor.
On a personal level, restricting my ability to purchase leveraged investment products would force me to engage in far more complex, less tax efficient, higher risk strategies in order to attain similar exposure to the market.
