The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has proposed new rules that would update the definition of “qualifying” venture capital (VC) funds. The proposal comes in response to a congressional mandate from 2018 that called for adjustments for inflation every five years. Qualifying VC funds are currently exempt from regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The new rule would raise the dollar threshold for qualifying VC funds to $12 million in aggregate capital contributions and uncommitted capital, up from the current $10 million. The SEC’s proposal is subject to a period of public comment before it can be adopted.
