The existing investment instruction and terms are sufficient. People at legel age are able to consider rationally and independently if they can bear the risks. It is unreasonable to ask people do tests especially there are a large group of people already has experience of investing leveraged and inverse ETF products, not to mention how unfair it is to restrain investment activities by how much
I'm troubled to learn that my access to invest in leveraged funds me be significantly hindered, if not outright prohibited. Those who are investing directly in the market can see for themselves how certain assets are performing and can put protections in place to guard against significant losses. It should be up to the the investor, not a bureaucrat what risks he or she wants to take. Please
I use leveraged and inverse funds as a hedge in my portfolio. I have been very successful using leveraged and inverse funds and do not want regulators restricting what I am to buy and sell.
