Is Being An Accredited Investor Worth It?
The SEC’s definition of an accredited investor determines who can take part in these lucrative investment opportunities. An accredited investor, according to Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, is someone with at least $200,000 of earned income over the past two years, with a reasonable expectation that they will earn the same amount in the present year. For a married couple, they need to have a joint income of $300,000.
