Overview
Individuals, including married couples or domestic partners, have a set of standards they need to meet in order to be designated as an accredited investor by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Note: Individuals encompass natural person and/or their spouse or domestic partner.
Individual Standards
Below are the common standards for individuals. Investors do not need to meet all of them, but rather only one of them.
- Income
- Net Worth
- Financial Professional
Again, note that these standards can be met as a single natural person, or jointly between two natural persons who are domestic or married partners.
