Starting an Investment Club is a relatively straight forward process. The first and probably most important step is accumulating the right people for the club. As with any organization there are probably certain types of folks that you may want to avoid. The loud mouth know-it-all, the slacker, the questionable character person. Once you have this complete, look to assemble a club of 6-20 folks. Any less than six and it’s difficult to raise funds, any more than 20, then meeting space becomes a hurdle. Once there is a good working list, have a preliminary meeting.

One of my favorite albums is Like Water for Chocolate (shout out to my Chi-town family). If you know the album there’s a track called The Questions that I really dig, the following article addresses the questions you should ask when considering investment clubs. Investment clubs have been around for decades and have helped everyday folks like you and I learn about the investment world and advance financially (hopefully). Investment clubs across the globe hold more than $175 billion worth of equities and the clubs invest more than $50 million per month. Please, please, please remember that investing in securities does carry risk, you can lose money and we are NOT giving advice about what specific securities to buy or sell (sorry for the bold type—we gotta cover our ass-ets)
