Do I Qualify to Invest in Private Equity?

To invest in private equity, you must qualify as an accredited investor under guidelines established by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). There is not a test or certificate required. Most investors meet SEC qualification metrics based on income or net worth. In general, qualification requires that the investor is at least 18 years old, earns $200,000/year (if individual) or $300,000/year (if married), or has a net worth of $1,000,000.
