The Steps to Getting Accredited as an Investor
An "accredited investor" is a wealthy individual or corporation allowed access to high-risk, high-reward investments such as hedge funds, leveraged buyouts, and startups not available to the general public. The Securities and Exchange Commission, also known as the SEC, requires a person to meet specific wealth, income, or expertise standards before they may be considered an accredited investor. Accredited or not, you can benefit from working with a financial advisor to manage your investments better while moving closer to your long-term financial objectives
