What Is An Accredited Investor?

We often hear the term "accredited investor" thrown around, but what does it actually mean? Let's break it down. Essentially, an accredited investor is someone who meets specific financial criteria set by the SEC.

This designation grants them access to investments that are not available to the general public. Understanding the requirements and benefits of being an accredited investor is important, especially if you want to diversify your investment portfolio.
