"Complex products" are a valuable resource for investors for diversification of investment strategy and risk mitigation that should be available to all investors. The notice tries to draw parallels between option trading and "complex products", but there is a significant difference in the level of leverage and potential financial exposure between these
I oppose restrictions on my right to invest in leveraged or inverse funds. These funds are important compositions of my portfolio. It makes investment more rewarding for many of us.
