Easier Investing: Self-Certification for Accredited Investors

This act allows individuals to self-certify that they understand the risks of investing in private companies. This means more people can access certain types of investments previously limited to those meeting specific financial criteria. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will create a simple form for this purpose.
Key points
More individuals can invest in private companies by self-certifying their understanding of risks.
The SEC will establish a short, maximum two-page form for self-certification.
This change opens new investment opportunities for citizens who previously did not meet formal criteria.
