SEC proposes investor exam to widen private-market access
Original: SEC proposes investor exam to expand private-market access — here's how it could work
The US Securities and Exchange Commission has proposed a test that individual investors would take in order to gain access to private-market investments, such as venture capital and private equity deals traditionally reserved for accredited investors. The idea would replace wealth thresholds with demonstrated knowledge, potentially opening higher-risk opportunities to a broader pool of retail participants. Details of how the exam would work and who would qualify are still being worked out.
Why now: The SEC's proposal could significantly change who is allowed to invest in private markets, affecting retail investors and the wider financial industry.
