non-accredited investors

Non-accredited investors are individuals or entities that do not meet specific financial criteria set by regulators, such as having a high net worth or substantial income. Because they are considered to have less financial sophistication or fewer resources, they are limited in their ability to invest in certain high-risk or private offerings that are not available to the general public. This regulation aims to protect less experienced investors from potentially risky investments that don’t undergo the same level of oversight as public securities. In short, non-accredited investors typically access fewer exclusive investment opportunities but are protected through these regulatory safeguards.
