How To Find An Investment Club

For many people, taking the plunge into investing can be a
daunting experience. They may have little investment
knowledge or limited funds. Joining or starting an
investment club is a great way to learn about investing in
stock or real estate. Investment clubs enable members to
pool their money for joint investment so you don't need to
have massive capital to start investing.

Finding an online investment club
There are many online investment clubs available. To start
with, choose an investment club that fits your investing
style and interests. Do you want to invest in stock or real
estate? If you are a male (or female), do you prefer to
join an all-men (or all-women) or mixed investment club?

Finding a good fit is important for an online investment
club. Keep in mind what your main objective is for joining
a club. If you are new to investing and need support and
knowledge, be sure to choose a club that offers lots of
hand-holding for its members.

Another important feature of an online investment club is
the forum or discussion board. It allows members to
communicate with each other since they don't meet face to
face. They can ask and answer questions. Newbies can learn
a lot from others who are more knowledgeable and
experienced. People from all over the world can join an
online investment club. Distance is not a problem as the
internet has made it possible for them to stay connected.

Choose a long established online investment club that is in
line with your approach to investing. You should contact
the club directly if you have any questions. Enquire about
its past and current investment performance.

Finding an offline (or local) investment club
For people who have time to socialize, they may prefer to
join a local investment club. These clubs are similar to
online clubs except that members meet locally, typically
once a month, to discuss and evaluate what stocks to invest.

The meetings incorporate educational talks on various
investing subjects. You have the opportunity to hear
investment experts speak and share their experience – not
from someone with textbook knowledge only.

Local investment clubs are often advertised in the local
newspaper classified ads. You may also find them through
postings on bulletin boards. Your local bank may also have
information about investment clubs. Another good way to
find a local investment club is through word of mouth. Ask
your co-workers or friends. Chances are they may know
someone who is a member of an investment club and can make
a recommendation to you.
