investment clubs

According to the SEC, investment clubs are groups of people who pool their money to make investments.

Usually, these clubs are organized as partnerships.

Then, after the members study different investments and investment markets, the group decides to buy or sell based on a majority vote of the members.

Club meetings may be educational and each member may actively participate in investment decisions.

As there have been some frauds related to these clubs, SEC has a list of resources that can help steer clear of bad clubs for investing.

The resource is located at nasaa.org/nasaa/abtnasaa/find_regulator.html.

Clubs-based investing is one path of learning-by-doing.

With a club, one shares with others the opportunity to enhance your knowledge of business and investing, possibly accumulating profits over time.

Finally, the clubs are about having fun while investing, too.
