The importance of investment clubs is increasing in the fund management industry. There are several reasons for the popularity and success of investment clubs. One must meet several requirements to run and operate a successful investment club. There must be certain rules and conditions that must be followed by the members. Here are some important requirements to keep in mind to get the job done smoothly:

• There must be a specific goal in the minds of all members, which is common to all. For example, if a specific part of the members of the clubs have joined with the motive of profit, while others have the intention of learning and understanding the investment business, there will be diversity in mentalities and it will lead to various conflicts.

• There must be an explicit and clear vision of the club’s long-term objectives. All members should be aware of the fact that the amount of profit generated by investments and the part will be instantly reinvested in the stock market.

• There must be an organized means of communication between members on a regular basis. This helps a lot to share ideas and experiences with each other.

• Ensure that all members are present at meetings related to future investment decisions. It is not good to delay decisions due to the regular absence of some members.

• Before finalizing any deal related to the purchase or sale of shares, all investment club members should carefully study the specific shares to be purchased.

• In order to cope with modern trends, members must have computers with Internet access to keep up with the latest market news from their homes. Furthermore, communication can also be done more efficiently without physically meeting in one place on a recurring basis.

• Accountability is most important in any business, especially where there is a continuous flow of money. Therefore, it is very important for an investment club to have accountability checkpoints that can provide information about investments, profits, losses, and various financial matters. These checkpoints must be accessible so that all members can obtain information on the spot.

Simply put, all investment clubs can function smoothly only if there is reliability, trust, and confidence among their members. When all members work for a common purpose and with a clear vision, success can be achieved.
