The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has proposed expanding the criteria for accredited investor status, a change that would broaden access to private-market investments beyond the traditional income and net worth thresholds, according to CNBC.
Among the proposed changes is a new exam that individuals could take to qualify as accredited investors, rather than relying solely on existing wealth or income benchmarks.
Accredited investor status currently determines who is permitted to invest in certain private offerings, including hedge funds, private equity, and other investments not registered with the SEC.
Further details on how the proposed exam would be structured, and when the rule change could take effect, were not included in the available report.
