I believe investors should be allowed to invest in complex products and options regardless of the level of their net worth as long as they have an understanding of the products and the risk involved. I oppose limiting these investment opportunities to only high net-worth individuals.
Inverse ETFs are a valuable tool that help retail investors hedge long exposures without the complexities and risks of using put options. Please do not limit our access to these vehicles. Thank you for your consideration.
All investors should be able to freely choose their own investment strategy. We dont need more regulation. Regular disclosures from fund managers is sufficient to protect investors and provide adequate notice of the risks.
The Government should not be over stepping their power by restricting us from investing in the way we choose. We know the risks and are able to make our own choices. We need to have all the options on the table.
Prohibiting these investments is regulatory overreach. Required attestations and waivers should be enough to let individual investors manage their own risks. Moreover, implementing a net worth minimum just reserves the ability for enhanced returns for the already-wealthy.
This is insane. If I want to take on a large risk profile who are you tell me what to invest and not invest into. This is borderline communism not letting me pick and choose where to place my money in a free and open market
This is my money, I do not need anyone telling me how to invest it. I am assuming the risk involved in investing by using my money to make those investments. I do not need permission to invest my money.
Please note that as an individual investor I oppose any limitations on my ability to buy or otherwise freely trade the Funds. There is enough disclosure already in the prospectus and brokerage firms such that investors are warned about the potential risks (and rewards) associated with the Funds.
I have owned ProShares for many years and would like to continue to use them as an investment vehicle. I understand the inherent risks in these products, but they also serve an important hedge in the overall investment portfolio. Please do not restrict access to these products.
I have 30 years of investment experience, and my strategy is conservative. I use leveraged and inverse funds as a hedge, and understand the risk of maintaining these holdings over an extended period of time. My investment in these funds never exceeds 3% of my portfolio.
