Congress Moves to Expand Definition of “Accredited Investor” Under Regulation D

Posted In Equity Development, Investment

In an era where Congress and the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) have been working to break down barriers to investment and equity development, it only makes sense a new bill currently wending its way through the legislative process would expand the definition of an “accredited investor.” H.R. 2187, The Fair Investment Opportunities for Professional Experts Act (“the Act”), passed the United States House of Representatives by a vote of 347 to 8 in February and now resides in the Senate. This effort would widen the pool of investors for private placements under Section 501(a) of Regulation D[1] by including those with experience and education in addition to those with a requisite net worth or salary.
