The SEC recently proposed rules to revise its definition of "Accredited Investor" so that it mirrors the definition adopted by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. Under the proposed rules, a person is no longer permitted to include the value of his or her primary residence in determining whether they meet the $1 million net worth requirement for an Accredited Investor. The proposed rules do not define "primary residence," but do say that, for the most part, the common meaning of "the home where a person lives most of the time" should be used, whereas, in complex cases, the federal income tax rules should be consulted for guidance.
