Investment clubs are very fun and sociable and more and more everyone wants a piece of the action. Established clubs are looking to invigorate their ranks with new members, new ideas and new money. Private investors or stock market beginners are looking for clubs to join so they too can access the power to learn and earn. Individuals across the UK are trying to find each other to set up their own brand new club and benefit from varying backgrounds, experience and expertise.
If you are looking for a club, a new member or some like-minded investors to start your own club, drop a note to our match-making team with your postcode and contact details and we’ll add your information to our 'lonely hearts' section below.
In the meantime, make sure you get your hands on a copy of the ProShare Investment Clubs Manual so that when you find true love you’ll be prepared to jump in with both feet.
Looking for: We are just starting up and looking for new members; no experience needed, only an interest in the stock market. The aim is as much to be able to swap ideas as to run a portfolio. The focus is UK equities of all sizes, but we don't want to neglect other asset types and global influences.
Postcode: Base is Ludlow, but open to anyone from W Midlands or Welsh Marches
Looking for: The Bath Heritage Investment Club, founded in 1998, and currently with a membership of 6 (ages mid 50's and up) would be interested to hear from potential new members living within 40 minutes of the centre of Bath, or other small clubs nearby that are thinking of amalgamating. Meetings are held monthly rotating amongst members homes. Previous stock market experience not required - just a keenness to participate & learn
Looking for: Individuals looking to build a financial stake in equities and to contribute to investment discussions and decisions.
Newly established and would like at least ten members interested in contributing to investment decisions and building a FTSE100 / FTSE250 equity portfolio, possibly including AIM companies too. The intention is to meet monthly, in the Glasgow area.
Established in 1997 we meet in Wokingham for a morning meeting and pub lunch every 2nd Tuesday of the month (when all decisions are made), plus other occasional get-togethers. Our aim, beyond the social aspect, is to allow us to try riskier stock market investments than we would go for as individuals. We have men and women, some couples, some chartists, some value investors. Currently 14 strong we would like to meet one or two potential new members who might contribute positively to our deliberations. There is a modest joining fee plus a regular subscription of £25/month by standing order.

Black Monday Investment Club
We are London based for meetings however we have members living in South East, Midlands and one person in Australia. We are work friends or family and have added numbers over the years. Around 8 of us are active over e-mail and phone. Between 4 and 6 of us meet every 5 or 6 weeks in a pub in the City. Our latest member joined last year, via the Proshare website. As chairman I am frustrated that only 2 or 3 of us make any investment suggestions or kick off discussions. Therefore I am especially keen for members who want to take part in making suggestions, debates and decision making. Please contact Kirit if you are interested and want more details.
The Cock Inn Investment Club is named after its meeting place in Henbury.
We have held our monthly meetings in this friendly hostelry since November 1986. We are currently seeking new members, preferably living within 15 miles of Macclesfield. Experience is not essential as we all remember what it was like to ascend the investment learning curve. Members back their hunches with new technology on meeting nights since we justify our choice of shares by downloading the closing prices and looking at other data on the companies in which we hold shares. We are looking at accessing company data on-line in future meetings. For further details contact Stuart Thompson.
We are a small investment club meeting on the Ruislip/Pinner borders, which would welcome enquiries for membership. Known as ‘BASIC’, we meet one evening each month for two hours. The joining deposit is £100.00 and then monthly subscription, payable by Standing Order, is £30.00.

Osterley Club seeking members
I'm in the stages of setting up a new investment club with a good mixture of beginners to advanced. We're based in Osterley. We shall follow both fundamentals and technical analysis in our style of trading.
Our club has been running since 1998 and we meet on the second Monday night of each month at the New Mill Restaurant in Eversleigh Hampshire, near Reading, Crowthorne and Wokingham. Our meetings are based around an excellent two course dinner (£25) and a stable agenda emphasising individual member input. Our proceedings centre firmly on the monthly meeting though all members are on email and the current stock market turmoil has prompted us to delegate more intensive debate to subgroups. Members of any experience are welcome as we consider fun and education almost as important as making money. Investment subs are £25, £50 or £75 monthly. We would particularly welcome more lady members.

They are currently in West London W6 rea but most of their communication will get started over email. Check out their website on. There is no formal meetings, access to a forum and just general chitchat/advice on investing.
The Fiveways Investment Club is still going strong and was recently featured in Radio 4's 'You and Yours'.

Lively discussion guaranteed.

Phoenix Investment Club seeks keen new members
If you are keen and interested to join a friendly club, get in touch. We have been in existence over 7 years and are still as enthusiastic as at day one. We now predominantly liaise by email so distance is not a problem. We meet every 2 months and most members have a bite to eat before the meeting. All current members are in profit. But either way we insist on everyone enjoying the ride and gaining experience.
The club has existed since 1998 and as a result of changes in member’s circumstances we are down to 9 members. We meet monthly in a local pub. We have a joining subscription of £100, of which £90 goes into the new member’s funds, and then there is a monthly sub of at least £20.
We are now looking for like minded members. The club is set up to use auto trading programs that are available from various companies. The only stipulation is that the starting capital is quite large so the members would be required to start with £5000.
Wolferstan Investment Club, loosely based around Salisbury, in Wiltshire, is looking for new members.

The club has traditionally met in each others homes, but we do use local pubs as well. Good food, good company and hopefully good investment decisions! Meetings are held on the second Sunday of each month. We would welcome phone calls, emails, whatever, from anyone interested.
