Forrest Hilton Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I oppose new rule making that would make leveraged and inverse ETFs difficult or impossible for normal investors to buy. I have used these sorts of ETFs in the past profitably for both hedging risks and investment purposes. I believe these products are both understandable and useful to the average investor.

Given the recent blow-up of so-called qualified investors and family offices like Bill Hwang, I would much rather regulators focus their time on tightening the rules in places that are systemically important, like large private funds rather than on small individual investors.
