UNDER: SEC — REGULATION D
Haus Rule: 1-2-3 — An accredited investor is an investor the law allows into private placements, and the Haus Rule 1-2-3 counts the ways in. By income: $200,000 a year on your own, or $300,000 together with a spouse, in each of the last two years, with the same expected ahead. By net worth: $1 million or more, not counting the home you live in. By credentials: a Series 7, Series 65, or Series 82 license in good standing; knowledgeable employees of a fund and family offices count too. A company with $5 million or more in assets can stand in the same place. The name counts the money: 1 million, 200 thousand, 300 thousand.
