Nathan Statham Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I and other members of the investing public are perfectly capable of reading and deciding what to read regarding our investment choices. There is no need for regulators to discriminate against and take opportunities away from lower net worth individuals in an effort to ensure that we read information we are fully capable of accessing.

Leveraged and inverse funds are critical to my personal investment strategies and provide a far less risky alternative than futures derivative products that accomplish the same objectives but on margin contract and leveraged option instruments. I have invested in many commodity based positions prior to the availability of leveraged and inverse fund product and incurred significant losses as a result just from the complex market timing and margin nature of these investments. The availability of leveraged and inverse funds has significantly limited my investment risk and allowed me to properly balance my investment strategies.
