IHS Markit August Commodity Price Watch: Does The Recent Rise In Commodity Prices Foretell A Full Recovery? - Rebound In Manufacturing Likely A Bounce That Will Be Difficult To Maintain

Date 26/08/2020

“Can the momentum in the manufacturing sector be sustained, with prices rising further over the near-term? To be sure, the rise in prices highlighted by the four-month rally in the IHS Markit Materials Price Index does indicate the worst of the recession globally is over. But the continuing increase in COVID-19 case counts globally, and the re-imposition of containment measures even in regions that had seemingly beat-back the pandemic, underscores what is likely to be the start-stop pattern to growth.” – John Mothersole, pricing and purchasing research director, IHS Markit

Joint Statement On The Failure To Modernize The Accredited Investor Definition, SEC Commissioners Allison Herren Lee And Caroline Crenshaw

Date 26/08/2020

The accredited investor definition is the single most important investor protection in the private market. Today’s amendments purport to “update” that definition while leaving in place 38-year old wealth thresholds, declining to index the thresholds to inflation, and declining to provide economic analysis to show how the failure to index will affect American investors—the bulk of whom are seniors—going forward.

Statement On Modernization Of The Accredited Investor Definition, SEC Chairman Jay Clayton, Aug. 26, 2020

Date 26/08/2020

Today, the Commission adopted final rules to modernize and add much needed flexibility to the definition of “accredited investor” by adding new categories of qualifying individuals and entities that have demonstrated financial sophistication such that they should not be excluded from the very large, multifaceted and important private capital markets. The private capital markets are important to investors and issuers of various types, as well as our economy more generally. The accredited investor definition is the principal test for investor participation in significant segments of our private capital markets. It also plays an important role in other state and federal securities law contexts.

Statement On Amending The “Accredited Investor” Definition, SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce, Aug. 26, 2020

Date 26/08/2020

Today’s cautious expansion of the accredited investor definition to include additional categories of natural persons and entities is a step in the right direction. Series 7, 65, and 82 license holders and knowledgeable employees of private funds clearly have the knowledge and expertise to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment. These newly minted accredited investors are not your typical mom and pop retail investors, a fact that should assuage the concerns of those that fear any expansion of the definition.
