The Secret Investment World Of The Wealthy

In this video, we pull back the curtain on a part of the financial world most people never get to see. The SEC has specific rules that determine who qualifies as an accredited investor or a qualified purchaser, and those classifications open the door to opportunities that are not available to the general public. I explain how the accreditation system works, what the requirements mean, and why income and net worth play such a significant role in accessing private markets.

We also look at the types of private investments that become available once someone meets these qualifications, along with clear examples of the strategies wealthier investors often use to diversify and expand their portfolios. Most viewers are surprised to learn that there are legal and compliant ways to access certain private investment structures even if you do not meet the traditional net worth or income thresholds. In this video, we talk about how that works.

If you have ever wondered how high-net-worth investors find opportunities that most people never hear about, this video gives you a straightforward look at how this side of the investment world operates and what you should understand before exploring any of these options.
