Different Investor Qualifications & Classifications

For many alternative investments, particularly those involving private...

The concept of an accredited investor is primarily defined by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933.

Key Criteria:

  • Income: An individual with an annual income exceeding $200,000 (or $300,000 jointly with a spouse) for the past two years, with an expectation of the same or higher income in the current year.
  • Net Worth: A net worth exceeding $1 million, either individually or jointly with a spouse, excluding the primary residence's value.

Investment Implications:

Accredited investors are deemed to have sufficient financial acumen and resources to understand and bear the risks of unregistered securities. This status allows them to invest in private placements, hedge funds, venture capitals, and other sophisticated investment opportunities not available to the general public.

There is no one place to register your investor status, confirm your income level or tax returns, or be certified as an accredited investor. The government does not review individual investor credentials or certify financial statements. Instead, companies that offer investments must determine who is an accredited investors as part of their due diligence process. Investors can’t simply check a box, though. Once they inquire about an investment opportunity, they may be asked to fill out an online form to start the process.
