Expanding Investment Access: New Rules for Accredited Investor Status.

This bill creates a new pathway for more citizens to invest in private companies and funds previously restricted to the very wealthy. Individuals can now qualify as an "accredited investor" if their total investment in non-public securities does not exceed 10% of their annual income or net assets. This change expands investment opportunities but also introduces higher financial risk for everyday investors.
Key points
Establishes a new threshold for individuals to qualify as an "accredited investor" without meeting high income or net worth requirements.
Allows citizens to invest in non-public securities (like startups) provided the investment is capped at 10% of their income or net assets.
Increases access to potentially high-return, but riskier, private investment markets.
