How much can a non-accredited investor invest in crowdfunding? Are the rules changing on this?
The limitation on how much a nonaccredited investor can invest during a 12-month period depends on his or her net worth and annual income:
• The greater of $2,500, or 5 percent of the greater of the investor’s annual income or net worth, if either the investor’s annual income or net worth is less than $124,000; or
• Ten percent of the greater of the investor’s annual income or net worth, not to exceed an amount sold of $124,000, if both the investor’s annual income and net worth are equal to or more than $124,000.
There are no current plans to change these rules, although the dollar amounts may increase from time to time. Under Securities Act Section 4A(h), the Commission is required to adjust the dollar amounts in Section 4(a)(6) “not less frequently than once every five years, by notice published in the Federal Register, to reflect any change in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.”
