The US Securities and Exchange Commission is considering a number of proposals and plans to hold a committee vote next week to ease restrictions and allow retail investors to participate more in the private equity market. One of the regulatory measures aims to expand the scope of qualification for investable private equity projects, that is, the definition of an accredited investor. According to an announcement on the SEC's official website, the regulator plans to seek comments on a proposed rule to expand the category of qualified investors. Current criteria for qualified investors: personal net assets of more than $1 million; or personal income of 200,000 US dollars or more, combined annual income of at least 300,000 US dollars for husband and wife. The SEC is scheduled to vote on the above proposals on Wednesday. If the proposal goes ahead, this is another expansion of the scope of accredited investor recognition after the Trump administration relaxed the relevant restrictions in its first term.
