These types of funds actually reduce risk for retail investors who wish to short the market. Conventional short-selling's losses are theoretically infinite while trading inverse funds ensures you only lose a fixed amount of capital.
Please leave the ETF investment choices as is. I use inverse and leveraged ETFs often. I understand how they work and use them as tools to reach goals. When used correctly they can actually reduce risk
Thank You,
As an individual investor, it is important to me to be able to invest in leveraged and inverse products to design and manage my retirement investment portfolios to minimize risk and drawdown over long-term economic periods. Please continue to allow these products to be accessed.
I elect to keep my right to choose public investment of my choice inclusive of leveraged and inverse funds as they play significant part in my investment strategy. I do understand underlying risks assosiated with above mentioned investments.
The ability to use leveraged and inverse funds is a vital way to hedge against your portfolio. If you limit the use of these funds in any way you are creating more risk for investors. This would be a huge mistake!!!! Barry Schutsky
I should not have to go through any special like passing a test before I can invest leveraged and invest funds. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I dont need these measures impose on me.
I oppose this as I believe I alone should be able to choose the public investment that is right for my myself and my family. I understand leverage and inverse funds and the risks associated because I am capable of making my own financial choices.
I feel that the government should not restrict my investments. I alone should be in charge what I wish to invest in. I am aware of The risks and it should be my right to invest in leveraged assets As I deem appropriate towards my investment goals.
I use leveraged ETFs as part of a mean-variance optimized, diversified portfolio that is appropriate for my risk tolerance. If you all limit my ability to invest in leveraged ETFs, I will lose the most important component of my investing strategy.
I OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS TO MY RIGHT TO INVEST !! I don't agree with having to pass a test before investing in securities. I'm am quite capable of understanding the funds and their risk. Public investments should be available to all and not a chosen few!
