5. IN THE NAFOA NAVIGATOR:
RECENT MODIFICATIONS TO THE ACCREDITED INVESTOR AND QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER DEFINITIONS
A Discussion with Marty Margolis, CIO, PFM Asset Mangement LLC
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recently adopted a change to the rules that limit sales of certain private market securities. The change expands access for state/local and tribal governments to commercial paper, negotiable bank deposits and corporate bonds. Amendments to the rules defining an “accredited investor” and a “qualified institutional buyer” (QIB) put governments and tribes on the same plane as corporations and not-for-profits. PFM Asset Management LLC was active in promoting this change, and we believe comments/recommendations we submitted to the Commission were recognized in the new rule.To learn more about the changes we conducted the following Q&A session with Marty Margolis. Marty founded the investment management business at PFM and serves as its chief investment officer.
