Frequently Asked Questions

How are Individual Accredited Investors in this directory ordered?

What information is included in each Individual Accredited Investor profile?

How important is location when evaluating Individual Accredited Investors?

Location can be an important consideration, but it does not necessarily define where a firm is active.

Not necessarily. A firm’s location does not always define its geographic reach. Many Individual Accredited Investors based in California are active across multiple regions, while firms based elsewhere may also participate in the California market.
