Brian McEwan Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I don't think it is fair to regulate inverse and leveraged funds, since I rely on these as an important strategy. Especially inverse funds gives a "common" investor the ability to profit if the market goes down.

I understand the risks, and I accept gains and losses, just as I do with purchasing stocks and bonds.

In a free market, it is important to allow the market (of which I am a part of) to manage the ups and downs, instead of an elite group of investors.

1:1 inverse funds are one of the very few remaining tools available to individual investors today that can help even the odds and improve market performance. Depriving investors of their right to access these funds would hurt the very people you're intending to help.

The investing public should be free to choose investments on their own, rather than having access controlled by a cabal of privileged insiders and market players.
