Regulation D

Regulation D (also known as Reg D) is a regulation of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), and is also a term for an investment strategy, mostly associated with hedge funds, based upon that regulation. It also affects individual savings and money market accounts with banks and credit unions, and any other person or entity that wants to sell "securities." It provides a "safe harbor" from the general requirement that all offerings of securities be registered with the SEC, and also exempts certain offerings which total under $5,000,000 from the SEC's registration requirement. It is found at in Title 17 of the Code of Federal Regulations, part 230, Sections 501 through 508. The legal citation is 17 C.F.R. ยง230.501 et seq.
