Dear FINRA, please do not begin gatekeeping access to complex financial instruments based on an assessment or net worth basis. This jeopardizes personal freedom and creates artificial and unnecessary barriers in the market for individual investors to participate. This compromises liquidity, price finding, and is an infringement of liberty.
A focus on risk disclosure and awareness is prudent and appropriate, but limiting investor access to products based on means tests or other assessments is not.
