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 requiring investors to pass an exam before gaining access to private markets, a shift from the current wealth-based accreditation rules. The idea would test knowledge of the risks of private investments rather than relying solely on income or net-worth thresholds, potentially opening opportunities to a broader pool of retail investors.
Why now: A regulator proposing to replace wealth tests with a knowledge test would significantly change who can invest in private markets, prompting debate among investors and advisers.
