Proposed changes to the Sophisticated Investor Test

About this event

In 2024, proposed changes to Australia's Sophisticated Investor Test threatened to raise the wealth threshold - potentially locking thousands of experienced investors out of the private markets and startup ecosystem entirely.

Outstaffer hosted a Fireside Chat bringing together policymakers, investors, and ecosystem leaders to examine the real-world impact of these changes on Australia's startup economy, diversity in investing, and our competitiveness against global markets.

Agenda

  • The case against the changes — Why raising the threshold is out of step with the US, UK, EU and Singapore
  • Impact on startups and angel investing — What tighter restrictions mean for early-stage capital
  • Diversity and inclusion — How wealth-based tests disproportionately exclude women, regional investors and minority groups
  • What should happen next — A positive reform agenda for Australia's private capital markets
  • Q&A
  • Speaker

    Hon. Angus Taylor MP (Shadow Treasurer), Cheryl Mack (Aussie Angels), Ben Grabiner (Side Stage Ventures), Amanda Price (KPMG Australia), and Aaron Violi MP (Member for Casey)
