At group meetings—usually held monthly—members deposit their investments, review studies of stocks presented by other club members, and select one or more stocks in which to invest.

Investment club provide a safe and supportive environment for novice investors to learn the basics of investing, as well as a fun collaborative environment for investors of any level to share their knowledge with each other.
