UK Government Raises Investment Thresholds for High Net Worth Investors
Learn about the UK government's decision to reinstate private market investment thresholds, making it easier for high net worth individuals to invest.
The UK government has recently made changes to the eligibility thresholds for high net worth individuals looking to invest in certain private market opportunities. Moonfare, a Berlin-based company, has applauded this move, which was announced in the 6 March spring budget. The government has raised the annual income threshold from £100,000 to £170,000, and the net assets threshold from £250,000 to £430,000. These thresholds determine when certain investments, such as private market investments, are exempt from promotion restrictions.
This decision comes at a time when there is increasing discussion both in the UK and internationally about the importance of making private equity, credit, infrastructure, venture capital, and real estate more accessible to high net worth and mass-affluent investors. By raising these thresholds, the UK government is taking a step towards achieving this goal and opening up new opportunities for investors.
The UK government's decision to increase the eligibility thresholds for private market investments is a positive development that will benefit high net worth individuals and promote greater access to a wider range of investment opportunities.
