Added hedges and max allocations

Hey guys,
New Pearler Super user here! Just transferred my super over to you guys from CFS. So far so good, very user friendly UI experience and Cathy from the support team was very pleasant to talk to.
The main selling point to coming over to you guys was the ability to use geared ETFs. As someone who likes to have more control over my investments, and a long term time horizon (I'm 24), I love the control that geared ETFs give. That being said, geared ETFs are generally best used with hedges.
I would love to see added hedges in the available investments. For example, a super common hedge for geared funds is long term US bonds (25+ years) (ticker ZROZ, GOVZ). Another one that is less common is managed futures.
I think it would improve the platform if we had the ability to have greater asset allocations to geared funds (like the ability to push GNDQ past 25%), and more hedges to use with these assets. The guys over at subreddit r/LETFS are a great source to be keeping an eye on for retail needs and wants with geared funds.
Just a thought! Glad to be here.
Cheers,
Adam
