An investment club is a group of people who pool their money to make investments. Investment clubs are usually organized as partnerships. Each member actively participates in investment decisions. After the members study different investments, the group decides to buy or sell based on a majority vote of the members.
Club meetings focus on education and each member actively participates in investment decisions.
Investment clubs usually do not have to register with the SEC, or register the offer and sale of their own membership interests. But since each investment club is unique, each club should decide if it needs to register and comply with the securities laws. You'll find answers to many common questions about investment clubs in our publication entitled Investment Clubs and the SEC . This membership organization provides education for individuals and members of investment clubs.
