Accredited Investor

An individual or entity meeting SEC income, net worth, or professional criteria, qualifying to invest in private securities.

An accredited investor is an individual or entity meeting SEC criteria that qualifies them to invest in private (non-publicly-registered) securities offerings. Individual criteria: $200K+ income ($300K joint) for two years with reasonable expectation of continuation, OR $1M+ net worth excluding primary residence, OR specific professional certifications (Series 7/65/82). Entity criteria: $5M+ assets, family offices, trusts with sophisticated trustees. Investment management marketing under Reg D 506(c) can publicly advertise to accredited investors only if the issuer takes reasonable steps to verify accredited status. Empire325 builds compliant 506(c) marketing programs for hedge funds and PE firms.
