It's absolutely absurd to consider inverse or leveraged funds as "complex products". The absolute maximum restrictions that should be similar to having to apply for options approval. Every broker I have used to invest in these types of funds does an excellent job explaining the risks. Imposing regulations would over-complicate it.
