What does being a “sophisticated” or “accredited” investor mean?
The Securities and Exchange Commission regulates the issuance of securities. These regulations often require compliance with lengthy and complicated rules. Some securities considered exempt by the SEC avoid those compliance issues, provided that the investors are “qualified” to participate. Examples of exempt securities include those filed under Regulation D of the SEC (see below). In those cases, companies are relieved from the onerous SEC requirements but are limited to offering the security to potential investors who are “accredited” or “sophisticated” since, by definition, an exempt security is considered a higher risk one.
“Accredited” is a term specifically defined by the SEC. An accredited investor is someone who is deemed to have sufficient income, net worth, asset size or professional experience in investing, indicating that they can bear the risk of an unregistered investment. Typical requirements to be “accredited” are:
- Annual income exceeding $200,000 in each of the two most recent years.
- A net worth exceeding $1,000,000.
- Being an investment professional or an investment advisor themselves.
- Being part of an entity that meets the above requirements.
A “sophisticated” investor, less defined, is generally someone who has a high net worth and substantial experience in making investments of high risk. “Accredited” and “sophisticated” are terms that are often used interchangeably. From the perspective of a company offering an investment that is exempt and, accordingly, considered higher risk, it is wise to require investors to submit financial statements and other documents that evidence their status as a qualified accredited investor.
What is “Regulation D” of the Securities and Exchange Commission?
As referenced above, Regulation D is a section of the Securities Exchange Act that permits certain investments to be offered without being registered with the SEC. Instead the filing is “Notice of Sale of Securities.”
Reg D includes private placement offerings, like the debt instruments MLP offers. This permits companies like MLP to raise limited funds through these investments without registering as a security. Since these are exempt, Reg D requires that all but 35 investors be “accredited.” Those who are not considered accredited must be “sophisticated.” In this case “sophisticated” means: “having sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment.”
