I have used leverage funds over the past fifteen years. They are integral part of my investment strategy, one that has allowed me to retire early. This constituent a limited portion of my portfolio but have allowed enhanced returns.

As an individual investor, I take full responsibility for my investment choices. Public investment tools should be available to all, not just the privileged. Leveraged and inverse funds, options, etc. are important financial tools in the portfolio. I sometimes use them for risk management.

As an alternative to the restrictions, a requirement could be to allow purchasing after receiving one training course on the risks of these funds.
