Johannes DeWaal Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

Afternoon,

I was recently notified about some potential regulation that may impact the ability for ordinary people to invest in complex investments, particularly leveraged funds.

This is troubling to me. In the last 5 years I have been studying investment strategies and just recently took the series 65 with the hopes of helping other people with their investment goals. My studies have had a particularly quantitative bent to them as I am an engineer as well. This has lead me to be increasingly interested in things most investors would consider "complex".

Arun Iyer Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

Subject - Petition to FINRA opposing FINRAs proposal to restrict / stop trading in Leveraged ETFs / ETNs
I submit that the current controls of my broker when any investor invests in any leveraged ETFs / ETNs are adequate.
1. Every investor when trades in Leveraged ETFs / ETNs mandatorily signs the Designated Investments Agreement that clearly states the risk & the qualification
requirements.
2. Every time the investor places order of any Leverages ETFs / ETNs, the system displays a warning about these products.
