What is an Investment Club?

An Investment Club is typically formed by a group of individuals who want to learn how to invest in the stock market by pooling together a small amount of money each month. Not all investment clubs invest in the stock market; some decide to invest in property, trade FX currencies, or art work for example.

Investment clubs provide a supportive environment where investors can learn how to invest by sharing knowledge and experience, with the benefit of being in a social club with like minded people.

The Investment club members tend to meet regularly (typically on a monthly basis) to make investment decisions, discuss lessons learnt and review past performance. They are typically organised as a legal partnership, however some investment clubs choose to incorporate; whilst others will be self-directed, whereby the club members meet each month to discuss investment decisions and thereafter club members invest through their own brokerage accounts, rather than investing collectively.
