investment club
A group of retail investors who pool some of their money and make joint investments. Investment clubs attempt to enable individuals to become individual investors by pooling their funds in small groups and collectively deciding how to invest the money. Like-minded investors come together to make investments based upon the input and research of the entire group, often providing a more complete foundation for subsequent decisions. Of course, members of investment clubs do not need to invest only through the club, so the club can make an excellent addition to a portfolio or it can serve as an excellent introduction to investing as an individual.
