AIs may still opt to one-click-certify after Sept. 23

8/29/2013

Some Reg-D platforms will eschew general solicitation, so AIs can self-certifyBy David M. Freedman, Contributing Writer

After September 23, accredited investors will be able to choose between Regulation-D crowdfunding platforms that (a) allow issuers to generally solicit via advertising (also known as Rule 506(c) platforms), and platforms that (b) do not permit issuers to advertise to the public. Why should that distinction matter to an investor? Because the funding platforms that choose not to allow issuers to advertise (or otherwise generally solicit) can still allow AIs to self-certify; whereas platforms that do allow issuers to advertise to the public, thanks to the SEC’s recent implementation of Title II of the JOBS Act, will have to collect or facilitate the collection of evidence sufficient to allow issuers to reasonably verify that their investors are indeed accredited.

Such evidence may be in the form of tax returns (to verify based on the income threshold) or bank statements (to verify based on the net worth threshold), or letters from AIs’ accountants, lawyers, or bankers, for example.

Jobs Act - Installment #1- Are you an Accredited Investors and, if so, what does that mean?

8/22/2013

0 Comments

 
By: Vanessa Schoenthaler and Jonathan Friedland

One in a series of articles explaining why and how Accredited Investors will likely change their investment strategies because of the JOBS Act of 2012

Installment #1- Are you an Accredited Investors and, if so, what does that mean? Let us introduce you to Bob.

Bob lives in Middle America, where he owns a nice house in a middle class neighborhood and drives a practical car which he bought used several years ago.

Bob isn’t fancy, however. In fact, if you asked him, Bob would tell you that he was just an ordinary guy

Meet Michele. Michele lives in a large coastal city. She owns a nice, but not over-the-top condo in a residential neighborhood and walks or relies on public transportation to get to work. Michele isn’t fancy either; she’s just an ordinary urbanite.

Finally, meet David and Isabella. They live, with their two school-age children, just outside of a mid-sized city. They also own a nice house in a nice suburban neighborhood and each drives a nice, but not new car.

But like Bob and Michelle, David and Isabella aren’t fancy and if you asked them they would also tell you that they’re just an ordinary family.

Aside from being ordinary, there is one other thing that Bob, Michelle and David and Isabella all have in common: they’re allaccredited investors.

Jobs Act - Installment #2- What Kind of Alternative Investment Opportunities Are Available to Accredited Investors?

One in a series of articles explaining why and how Accredited Investors will likely change their investment strategies because of the JOBS Act of 2012

Installment #2- What Kind of Alternative Investment Opportunities Are Available to Accredited Investors? The very point of being an accredited investor is that there is a whole world of alternative investment opportunities available to you that are not available to non-accredited investors.  And, if you are an accredited investor, it would be irrational for you to not at least consider including some of those alternative investments in a well-balanced, diversified investment portfolio.  However, before you can properly consider where, if at all, alternative investments fit into your portfolio, you must first understand what the world of alternative investments looks like and where to access such opportunities.

Defining Alternative Investment Opportunities There are many different ways of categorizing the alternative investment opportunities available to accredited investors; no one universally accepted approach exists. That said, for our purposes, we group alternative investment opportunities into the following four overarching categories:

  • private equity;
  • venture capital;
  • hedge funds; and
  • hard assets

Installment #3-The Lifting of the Ban If you are not a lawyer, fund manager, CEO, or entrepreneur, you may have never heard of the JOBS Act.  However, if you are an accredited investor, you will increasingly be exposed to the JOBS Act over the coming months, even though you may not realize it at first.

Jobs Act Installment #4- “What’s all the Noise about Crowdfunding?”

One in a series of articles explaining why and how Accredited Investors will likely change their investment strategies because of the JOBS Act of 2012

 Installment #4- “What’s all the Noise about Crowdfunding?” 

Let’s stop for a moment and consider crowdfunding, which you probably have heard of, and Kickstarter, one of the most well-known types of crowdfunding platforms and one of the least important to you as an accredited investor.

It’s not that Kickstarter doesn’t matter at all.  Kickstarter has in fact been a pioneer in the nascent market for crowdfunding and the platform that it provides has been instrumental in the funding oftens of thousands of creative ventures.
