SEC Proposes Changes That Could Expand Private-Market Access
Blue Vault describes SEC proposals announced September 30, 2026, addressing access to private-market investment vehicles. The reported changes concern interval-fund repurchase scheduling and a framework for multiple share classes at regulated closed-end funds and BDCs.
The article also says the SEC sought input on additional ways individuals might qualify as accredited investors, including an examination or professional credentials. These are described as proposals and requests for comment, rather than completed rule changes. Blue Vault highlights the resulting need to compare liquidity arrangements and share-class costs.
