SEC Eases Performance Fee Rules to Widen Retail Access to Private Assets
Original: SEC Eases Performance Fee Rules to Expand Retail Access to Private Assets; Proposes New Accredited Investor Pathway via Exam
The US Securities and Exchange Commission has moved to relax its performance fee rules, opening private-market investments to a broader range of retail investors. Alongside the change, the regulator proposed a new pathway to accredited investor status based on passing a professional exam, rather than income or wealth thresholds alone. The moves signal a push to democratize access to private assets while adding a knowledge-based test for eligibility.
Why now: The SEC's regulatory changes could significantly reshape how ordinary investors access private markets.
