The SEC proposed increasing the net worth threshold for qualified clients from $2 million to $2.1 million as part of a five-year indexing adjustment required by the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. However, as the required indexing adjustment for the $1-million assets under management threshold is smaller than the amount specified under the act, the SEC isn't proposing a change to that part of the requirements. Comments are being accepted on the proposal until June 13.
