But the profit or earnings that you can make from starting your own investment club are huge ? from a modest $5000 to $20,000 annually with one club, $25,000 to $100,000+ annually if you own five clubs or more depending on the number of members you have!
What does an investment club do?
Investment club is a really a group of people who come together with the singular aim of learning how to invest in the stock market. These people are known to each other and could be friends, family, colleagues, neighbors etc. Your investment club offers the people a safe and easy opportunity to make money without knowing how to. Your club and invest either in shares or real estate or bonds etc. Usually, most investment clubs prefer to invest only in one type of financial instrument. Where do you get the money to invest?

How do you run an investment club?
Once you have started your own investment club, you will have to ensure it is profitable. For this purpose you will require members. Advertising in various newspapers and financial magazines is a good way to attract people to your club. You can even advertise on the Internet. As part of your office setup you will require a desk, a computer, a phone, a fax and a printer. On the days (once a week) that the members of your club meet, you will need to arrange chairs, projector, etc.
How Does an Investment Club Work?
The rules of the club are fairly simple and can be modified if required. An investment club has officers to see the day-to-day operations and these are elected by the members only. Both the officers and the members are required to:
- Attend each meeting (weekly/monthly)
- Pay the membership fee ? usually a minimum of $20
- Research and share information by following the progress of specific shares (either already bought by the club or considered for purchase)
Finally, it is important to understand that the success of your investment club depends on the involvement of your club members. As for you, spending a couple of hours everyday on the club?s business will help you build good profit.
