And therefore that’s what he’s really asking. Bit bloody personal isn’t it? Maybe I’d feel differently if I actually met the parameters


obviously not sophisticated enough!!
There's some out there that think the test is redundant
Particularly the net assets test
I understand that test includes the family home so with property prices increasing (especially last decade) many people are meeting the criteria almost by default
Some argue that some sort of "financial literacy" test could be a better option
Bottom line if you do currently qualify you can have access to opportunities that are not available to all
The double edge to the sword is that because you're a "sophisticated investor" promoters or providers of investment opportunities are not required to furnish you with the same amount of financial protections in terms of providing product disclosure documents amongst other things
