Private Placement Overview

Overview

Private placement refers to the offer and sale of any security by a brokerage firm not involving a public offering. Private offerings are not subject to a registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under an exemption to the Securities Act of 1933 (1933 Act). One advantage of a private placement is its relatively few regulatory requirements. This course provides an overview of the rules, regulations and guidance surrounding private placements.
