Who Can Write an Accredited Investor Letter?
Accredited investors are allowed to invest in securities that are not registered with the SEC. A non-accredited investor simply has to meet certain net worth and income thresholds in order to be considered accredited. Following the SEC’s definition, an accredited investor is a person or entity 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. Married couples and spousal equivalents may also qualify if they have a joint income of $300,000.
