Qualified Purchaser

A Qualified Purchaser is an individual or entity that meets a specific financial threshold allowing them to invest in certain private investment funds. This designation, regulated by U.S. securities laws, typically requires having at least $5 million in investments for individuals or family trusts. Qualified Purchasers gain access to exclusive investment opportunities that are not available to the general public, often aimed at sophisticated investors who can handle higher risks. This distinction helps ensure that only those with adequate financial resources and understanding engage in these complex investment opportunities.
