The US securities regulator proposed rules on Wednesday that would broaden access to private assets traditionally reserved for wealthy or professional investors. This could potentially give more Americans opportunities for higher returns while exposing them to greater risks, according to the Reuters report.
The Securities and Exchange Commission’s proposals form part of the Donald Trump administration’s broader effort to “democratise” investments such as private equity, private credit, real estate and venture capital, which can potentially deliver higher returns than conventional stock-and-bond portfolios.
