Known Investor Program seeks to expedite review process for foreign investment in the US by regular filers.
On February 6, 2026, the US Department of the Treasury (Treasury), as chair of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), issued a Request for Information (RFI) seeking public feedback on how CFIUS can streamline certain aspects of its foreign investment review process with a focus on the upcoming Known Investor Program. The RFI has been published in the Federal Register.
In accordance with President Trump’s America First Investment Policy, CFIUS is seeking to improve process efficiencies to facilitate greater investment from allies and partners “where there is a verifiable distance and independence from foreign adversaries or threat actors.” This RFI is an opportunity for investors and stakeholders to contribute to shaping CFIUS process improvements and to consider whether they might benefit from participation in the Known Investor Program.
