The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has proposed rule amendments to expand retail investor access to private markets. The amendments aim to facilitate capital formation in public and private markets, expand retail investor choice, and encourage innovation in regulated fund structures. Announced on September 30, 2026, this proposal includes provisions that broaden opportunities for retail investors to invest in private assets that were previously difficult to access.
