FTA Reiterates Call for Expanded Access to Capital Ahead of HFSC Capital Formation Hearing
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Financial Technology Association (FTA) joined industry partners in calling on Congress to modernize investment regulations and expand access to capital while maintaining strong investor protections.
In a letter with the Accredited Investor Alliance (AIA), FTA urged lawmakers to expand the accredited investor definition, allowing more individuals to participate in investment opportunities that drive economic growth. “Meaningfully expanding the pool of accredited investors while preserving appropriate investor protections would help democratize access to investment opportunities and foster capital formation,” the joint trades stated.
Additionally, FTA joined a coalition representing the U.S. innovation ecosystem to advocate for policies that enhance capital formation, support emerging fund managers, and increase investment access. Key proposals include expanding exempt offering pathways, broadening accredited investor eligibility, and improving retail investor access to private markets. “Expanding private market investment opportunities while preserving important investor protections will not only drive innovation but will also help broaden economic opportunity,” the group emphasized.
These efforts reflect FTA’s commitment to ensuring that entrepreneurs, small businesses, and investors across the country have greater access to the capital needed to fuel innovation and economic progress.
