Hi Charles,
Far from a Halloween scare, today was a monumental day in our industry. 3 1/2 years after the landmark passage of the JOBS Act, the SEC has finally approved the final rules for Title III! What does that mean for the private investing market? Well, as of January 2016, our vision of enabling retail investors to invest in the private securities market will become a reality! See details here.
EarlyShares has been an active advocate for these rules since day one. We have participated in SEC discussions, provided official comment on proposals, and have shown a deep commitment to building our business based on core principles of sound investing and compliance. In fact, in 2013, our founders were honored by The White House as Champions of Change in support of their efforts.
We look forward to the release of the final rules to finalize how they can be applied in the commercial real estate sector.
In the meantime, I wish you all a happy and safe Halloween!
Best regards,
Joanna Schwartz
CEO & Co-Founder |

particular state. No longer! Today the SEC promulgated Regulation CF to give effect to Title III of the JOBS Act, originally signed into law on April 5, 2012.
