Investment clubs offer safety in numbers
Article Abstract:
The Aureus Investment Club in Toowoomba, Australia was modeled after the Beardstown Ladies investment club of the United States. Its purpose was to provide a low-cost entry into the sharemarket as well as to pool the resources and knowledge of others. The idea for the investment club came about in 1996, and in 1998 it is fully operational with 14 members. Its success has followed the ups and downs of the market.
