The SEC will promote greater retail access to private markets, as these together with tokenization will expand the menu of investment options available to investors

It was stated by Hester Peirce, SEC Commissioner, in the speech she delivered to attendees at the Third Annual Conference on Emerging Trends in Asset Management

The official advocated for the elimination of the initial \$25,000 limit that exists for closed-end funds that invest 15% or more of their assets in private funds, as well as the restriction on sales to accredited investors
