Professional Investor Rules are specific regulatory requirements and protections applied to individuals or entities deemed to possess sufficient experience, knowledge, and financial capacity to understand and bear the risks associated with certain investments. These rules often grant professional investors access to a broader range of financial products, sometimes with fewer disclosure requirements. They distinguish sophisticated market participants from retail investors. These regulations aim to segment the investment landscape.
