In re FINRA Regulatory Notice #22-08:
I strongly disagree with any restrictions being put into place that would not allow myself and my household from being able to invest into leveraged funds. Investing in leveraged and inverse funds are taken after careful consideration and are used as a valuable investing tool. I should not be burdened with undertaking any additional special processes before
I don't feel the government should be putting restrictions on my right to invest in common public investments. I understand that all investments have some inherit risk and the leveraged funds can be much more risky. I should not have to take a test or prove my net worth in order to be able to take part in these public funds. All of these funds release a prospectus that help investors
As a retail investor, I do not wish to see so-called Complex Products subject to additional regulation. Every major trading platform provides lengthy disclosures about these products. All investors using these products already have the tools necessary to understand them and become familiar with the risks if they so choose. Further restricting access to these products by ordinary investors
I, not regulators, should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged elites.
I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before you can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds.
I am fully capable of understanding
I urge you to reconsider any attempt to limit the available investment choices to the citizens of this country. We work hard for our money and have the right to invest in the assets of our choosing in order to grow and preserve our wealth.
Leveraged and inverse funds are especially helpful because they allow investors to limit their risk in declining markets. With an inverse fund, you can
Dear FINRA,
I am writing today to express my disappointment that you are considering regulations limiting my publicly available investment options. Only through a wide and diverse array of investment options can a diverse and balanced portfolio be maintained. As an investor in the market today, just as in 2008-2009, maintaining a hedge against extreme volatility is an important and needed aspect
Hello, I am discouraged to know that there are regulations and restrictions being proposed that would severely hurt my investment strategy. Levered and inverse funds are very important to me and I strongly oppose such regulations and restrictions. Myself and my neighbors regardless of designation, education, or wealth should be allowed to choose for ourselves what risks we want to take. We are
I'm writing to register my alarm that FINRA is considering restricting leveraged/inverse funds to only certain investors. This is wrong on many counts, as well as requiring classes or passing tests, which amount to hurdles for the public. Many people, self included, use these kinds of investments to increase returns knowing full well they involve extra risks. I believe we're on the cusp
FINRA Regulators:
While I understand the concern of heightened risk posed by leveraged securities, I am alarmed at the proposed measures restricting investment into these publicly traded leveraged securities, especially requirements related to net worth, because these types of investments allow the type of returns necessary for lower net worth individuals to attain financial success, and
I am writing to oppose the radical limitations on my investments proposed by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). Under the long-standing disclosure-based system, investors have the right to decide which public equities, bonds, and funds they want to buy. The freedom to access a broad range of investment products help me build better portfolios and limit my risks in the market.
