Inverse and leveraged funds are an important part of the market as it allows retail investors like myself to take part in products that are normally not available to us. The ability to hedge against certain products, market segments, or scenarios should not be limited by a regulatory body. I agree the complexity of these funds and their risks should be well understood by anyone who invests in these funds, but that is the responsibility of the investor himself and not the regulatory body. At most the regulatory body should require the plan provide in great detail the risk of these types of funds, how they are constructed, priced, and managed.
