I am aware of the risks related in investments such as leveraged etfs and other types of structured etfs, mutual funds, and ETNs. They have been part of my investment strategy for many years.
Inverse funds are an important vehicle to hedge against downside risk. Not all investors are comfortable using Put Options. Options have a time element which can be an expensive premium.
Please keep these ETFs open to all investors. Its very important that we keep the freedom to invest our money as we see fit and take the risks we are comfortable with.
Leveraged ETFs are an extremely important part of my investment strategy. I am familiar with the risks, and the discontinuation of my access to these instruments would adversely affect my portfolio to a great degree.
Focus first on better disclosures for mutual funds and make a simplified prospectus. And make investors read something about leveraged funds that explains risks, but don't over regulate it pls
I'm an experienced investor with a Master in Finance with a concentration in portfolio management.
Why should I not be able to trade in these products when I'm aware of the risks, understand and am willing to accept them?
I am invested long term in a leveraged etf for almost a decade, and really dont see a problem I have read the prospectus carefully, understood the risks and rewards and decided to buy and hold!
I oppose restrictions on my right to invest any leveraged and inverse funds, which are important to my investment strategies. I understand the risks of the leverage and inverse funds but seek enhanced returns.
We are investors, we understand the risks of investing. Let the financial market provide products to fit the needs of educated customers. We don't need FINRA to be our mommy or daddy.
I have the right to invest my money and take the risks associated with investment. I do not want or need additional regulations if FINRA deems I too am stupid . It is an insult to me and to others.
