FINRA, Please consider maintaining leveraged and Inverse funds and ETFs as viable investment tools for retail investors. Proshares and Fidelity always advice about the risk associated on using this products and I am full aware that this are short term investment products and as such they must be monitored frequently.
I understand the benefits and risks of investing in both leveraged and inverse funds. I make my own investment decisions. These funds are public securities. Regulators should not establish any rules or procedures that would inhibit my ability to invest in leveraged or inverse funds. Thank you.
There are risks with all types of investments. The choices should be a matter of personal decision. It is true that leverage funds have the potential for higher degree of loss in a market downturn. The inverse is also true as they have the potential for a higher percentage of gain when markets are making positive gains.
I want the ability to purchase leveraged and inverse funds. It has helped my portfolio be able to protect against down markets. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risk. We do not need more regulations. Thank you for hearing my voice
I am strongly opposed to regulation and tests to determine eligibility to make certain investments. I should continue to choose investments that are right for me and my family. Leveraged and inverse funds publish the risks involved and as an individual I understand them.
Please do not impose unnecessary regulations.
Restricting these products to only high income individuals is not protecting smaller investors but limiting their options and creating an unfair playing field. Require these etfs to disclose risks but do not increase the inequality in investment options that already exists between high and low net worth investors
I have not used leveraged funds but inverse funds are an important part of my investment strategy as protection against market downturns and also for selling options. Brokerage companies already issue appropriate warnings to their customers re: risks. Please do not restrict access to these funds.
I'd like to voice my concern about the potential to restrict investing access to leveraged and inverse funds. These products help investors protect their portfolio and the risks are understood. Changing the rules now when portfolios need protection the most is careless, reckless, and risky for investors.
I have been using leveraged funds for years. People should have the freedom to choose their investment vehicles. Risks are on their shoulders. You learn from both good and bad experiences when investing. Please don't limit the options available to the every day investor.
I believe it is imperative to allow the average investor the same opportunities availed to wealthy ones regarding access to leveraged investments. Of course any investor should educate himself regarding the risks of any investment, but we dont need to be saved from ourselves by government fiat.
