Accreditation for international investors - Accredd.com

Accredd.com provides third-party accreditation letters for investors from countries outside the U.S. The accreditation thresholds are the same as for U.S. investors, and all documentation must meet SEC standards.

Currency Conversion Required

All values submitted in foreign currency will be converted to USD using the exchange rate at the time of submission. This ensures alignment with SEC thresholds for accreditation.

What Documents Are Accepted

Investors must submit financial documentation that directly demonstrates income or net worth. Examples include:

• Tax returns (if available)
• Bank statements
• Brokerage/investment account statements
• Credit reports
• Other government-issued or financial institution documents

What If I Don’t File Personal Taxes?

If you earn income through a business and do not file personal taxes, you may still qualify by submitting:

• Bank statements showing over $200,000 USD in income each of the past two years, or
• Government-issued forms that verify income or assets (varies by country)

🏢 What About Company-Owned Assets?

Assets do not need to be in your personal name—but you must have clear ownership. For example:

• If a property is held by a company you control, it can be counted based on your ownership percentage
• Assets owned solely by family members do not qualify

📌 Please Note

Even if you receive an accreditation letter, fund managers may still have restrictions on accepting international investors. Some may require you to invest via a U.S.-based LLC with an EIN to avoid triggering complex tax and compliance requirements.

✅ Pro Tip

Let your fund manager or onboarding team know:

• What country your documents are from
• Whether you’re qualifying through income, net worth, or company assets
• Whether you file U.S. taxes

This helps them guide you through the correct accreditation path.
