$100 Exam Could Open Private Markets to Retail Investors

Original: $100 Exam Could Open Private Markets to Retail as Institutions Pull Back

A low-cost, $100 exam is being positioned as a mechanism to open private markets to retail investors at a time when institutions are pulling back. If adopted, it could give ordinary investors access to asset classes long reserved for institutions and accredited investors. Observers see it as part of a broader push to democratize investing, though questions remain over protections and who would oversee the qualification process.

Why now: Institutional retreat from private markets is renewing debate over letting retail investors in via accessible qualification tests.
