Solutions for Investment Clubs

Why start an Investment Club

Community saving schemes known as Stokvels or investment clubs remain a popular way of saving for many South Africans; however the improved way of managing stokvels is by putting money away for investment and creating wealth rather than saving up and using these savings for day to day living and burial societies.

Investment Clubs provide a great way for those who are new to investing to get involved in the investment market and learn more about investing in a group setting.Each member is required to make a modest monthly contribution and these funds are pooled to purchase shares in the stock market. Pooling of funds allows investors to purchase a wider range of shares than would be possible if they were investing their funds individually.

Investment Clubs also allow investors to share ideas about the market and make informed investment decisions together as a group. It provides a great opportunity for new investors to gain experience and knowledge about the markets in a group setting.
