Introduction

Many investors, especially beginners, constantly face the same question of accumulating, preserving and increasing their earnings and funds. One of the methods offered by Andrey Sapunov Agency is placing funds in the “Closed Investor Club”.

A counter question inevitably arises: “What is so good about the Investors Club? What are its advantages?” After all, there are familiar and understandable financial instruments, such as bank deposits or mutual funds.

Let's try to look at the main advantages of the Investors Club.

If you have a task to accumulate and create your own capital, with a minimum starting capital, then the investment portfolios of the Investors Club are a more suitable and convenient tool for fulfilling investment tasks. What we mean here is the mass investor - people who do not have professional investment knowledge and experience. And why is such a tool as the investment portfolios of the Investors Club convenient? The answer is simple.

The Investors Club is:

1. Easy to understand. In order to start your investment business in the Club, you do not need to have knowledge about stock markets and other investment instruments. No skills or experience required. All work on managing investment portfolios will be taken over by the well-known professional asset manager Andrey Sapunov and his team, and the administrative part (document flow, reporting on work with investment portfolios to investors and reporting with other bodies established by Russian legislation, etc.) will be taken over by the Agency .

2. Professionalism in management. So, it is a professional team of asset managers who will manage investment portfolios. All managers on the team are certified in investment. and Andrey Sapunov, presenter of programs on the RBC TV channel, is one of the best experts in technical analysis, which allows him to qualitatively analyze the securities market and select profitable trading strategies for investment portfolios. Which contributes to obtaining maximum efficiency from concluded transactions and minimizes risks. This is not in theory! This is reality!

By becoming an investor in the Club, you actually hire professional managers who perform the task of obtaining maximum income through the effective management of the funds of the Club’s investors.

3. Availability of investment instruments. This is one of the most important advantages, thanks to which the majority of the population of our country can, using relatively small amounts, invest them in the stock market and other investment instruments.

4. Information transparency. Indeed, the Investors Club is the most transparent. The investor receives quarterly reports on the performance of investment portfolios. The register of the Club's shares is maintained by a licensed company, the Club's shares are registered with the Federal Financial Markets Service. Reporting meetings of the Club's shareholders are held annually. In addition, the necessary information is published on the Investors Club website.

5. Reliability of infrastructure and operating mechanism. The Investor Club includes: advisory asset managers, a registrar, an auditor and a specialized depository. This provides the Investors Club with reliability. Such infrastructure of the Club makes it possible to separate the functions of storing shares of shareholders, accounting for them, as well as managing funds and prevents theft and fraudulent transactions with investor funds.

6. High profitability. Club investors have the opportunity to receive higher returns than on bank deposits. But we must not forget that any type of investment has risks, just like any other activity.

7. Diversification of investment portfolios. Investment portfolios of the Investors Club include various securities, futures, options and other investment instruments. this allows you to minimize risks. People say. That you don’t put your eggs in one basket is one of the rules of investors. Small investors, holding insufficient capital, cannot afford to diversify their portfolio. By joining the Club, an investor enjoys all the benefits of diversified investment portfolios.

What is the Investors Club?

The Investor Club of the Andrey Sapunov Agency is a club form of collective investment with a legal entity, the advisory trust management of property and investments of which is carried out by the famous professional asset manager Andrey Sapunov and his team. The resources of the Investors Club consist of investment contributions from investors, which are confirmed by a security - a share of the Club.

In simple language, you can put it this way - the Club members put their money together into one whole. In return, according to the investment contribution, they received a block of shares of the Club, which were registered with the Federal Financial Markets Service. The club has its own brokerage accounts, to which it transfers funds from investors, according to investment portfolios. With this money, professional managers purchase shares of enterprises and other assets on stock exchanges, according to investment portfolios.

The Club's investment portfolios are highly profitable financial instruments for medium and long-term investment. They have good liquidity and have minimal risk. when compared to an individual security. Any private investor can become an investor in the Club. even with a minimum amount of capital.

The Investors Club, in comparison with each individual Club member, is a large investor, therefore assets are invested more efficiently, and profits are distributed among Club members in proportion to their contributions.

Club shares are a book-entry security that confirms to the owner the right to own a share in the property of the Investors Club. The value of the acquired shares changes along with the total value of the Club's assets. Stock appreciation is the profit an investor can make when selling his shares.

The regulations and other regulatory documents of the Investors Club are public agreements to which the investor, upon joining the Club, joins with equal rights. like the rest of the Club members. Joining the club is considered an application to purchase shares of the Club.

Any novice investor dreams of support. Not just financial, no; rather, it’s about moral support, about having someone more experienced and wise share their experience in building an investment portfolio. Also, many capital owners dream of implementing a large investment project, but their own funds are not enough; and then, together with the creator of the project, they begin to search for new investors who would agree to invest their money and help implement the common cause. It is for these purposes that investor clubs are created - communities where participants can not only exchange experience, knowledge, and interesting ideas, but also provide assistance in the form of financial support, participate together in large investment projects, attract foreign partners, and give guarantees to their colleagues.

In Russia, investor clubs most often register on the Internet, on websites specially created for these purposes. On any of these sites you can find an investor, post your investment project, and also select a profitable investment object for those people who do not know where to invest their money. Such clubs bring together people with common goals and interests - those who dream of increasing their money, gaining experience and knowledge.

Online seminars and webinars

Often, members or club leaders organize and conduct online seminars, in which not only members of the investor club itself, but also everyone can take part. Sometimes such services are free of charge and are provided through contributions from club members; in some cases, so-called listeners will have to pay some fee to watch the seminar.

Membership in the club is most often voluntary. There are closed investor clubs where it is almost impossible for an ordinary person to get into - you need to have enormous financial capabilities, regularly make profitable investments, and earn a good reputation in this area. Membership in the club is usually free, but charitable contributions may be provided, which go towards solving organizational issues, paying club bills, etc.

Being a member of an investor club is most often prestigious; it gives additional bonuses and advantages to those people who are seriously involved in investing and define this activity as the goal of their life. Of course, such clubs bring certain benefits to society; they help people resolve any issues (most often free of charge), and help investors who want to find money to implement a project. The more communities are created aimed at meeting the information needs of the population, the more literate and educated our society will be.

We have created a new training program called DojiStar Investment Club (DSIC).

The reason was obvious: for the vast majority of Internet users, “learning to trade,” “trading on the stock exchange,” and at the same time vCollege were an empty phrase! It seemed that we were teaching people something that many simply could not imagine. How can you put into words the unique thrill that a trader experiences when he opens a position and watches a stock soar upward? Or the chilling horror that holds your breath against your will, when a position that just a moment ago seemed invulnerable crumbles to smithereens before your eyes?!

One can, of course, argue that numerous stock exchange simulators allow you to “get a taste” of trading, however, as we always thought, this is a dead end: “make-believe trading” is neither hot nor cold! It is enough to play poker for an hour with matches to understand the melancholy of such an “experience.”

The problem is aggravated by the fact that for real trading you need to open your own brokerage account, the minimum amount of which varies from 2 to 10 thousand dollars (for a brokerage account in America) and from 10 to 30 thousand (in Russia). Agree, the amount of $10,000 is a serious “surplus” to use without preparation for stock market speculation. And I want to try it! And no simulator can satisfy this itch. How can this be?

That’s when we came up with the idea of an “investment club,” which allows anyone to experience all the delights and passions of live real trading, but the risk is limited to $10! This is exactly the minimum share contribution we have set for DojiStar Investment Club.

We believe that today there are many prerequisites for the revival of DSIC (the economic crisis had an impact not least!), especially since, on the one hand, participation in the investment club does not imply any more or less tangible material costs, and, on the other hand, , - personal experience of participating in real exchange trading is truly unique and serves as an invaluable addition to all training programs - Tough Drill, Free Run, and Blast.

Of course, the topic of reviving the DSIC requires deep and thorough study, especially from a legal point of view. However, regardless of whether we will ever bring the idea of an investment training club to fruition, or whether it will remain a memory of our innovations 15 years ago, it is a phenomenon in itself investment club deserves to convey to readers information about its existence, its strengths and weaknesses.

We will begin the conversation with a compilation of articles by Sergei Golubitsky dedicated to investment clubs and published at different times in the Business Journal, as well as in a closed mailing list for members of the DojiStar Investment Club.

Investment clubs are a purely American invention, long ago put on an organized footing. The vast majority of US investment clubs are members of the so-called. NAIC – National Association of Investment Clubs of America, a non-profit organization founded in 1951 and uniting 13 thousand investment clubs with 400 thousand members at the end of the twentieth century.

Today, with just over 120,000 members remaining in the NAIC, we have to admit that the golden age of investment clubs in America appears to be a thing of the past. Such a sad circumstance, however, does not in any way detract from the merits of this extremely useful and very effective form of introducing people far from the financial world to the stock market.

Of course, the “investment club” has not only advantages, but also disadvantages, usually hidden from the unprofessional eye. I believe it will be useful for the domestic reader to learn about all these pros and cons today, when the idea of an investment club is shamelessly perverted in the vastness of the Runet and is used by an army of swindlers for their own enrichment.

We found the following advertisement in RuNet. There is nothing unique about it, quite the contrary – it is typical. Typically, as an exemplary perversion of the investment club idea:

“Closed investment club, which is more than three years old! The owner of the club is a businessman with extensive experience and an impeccable reputation. Registration: carried out only by the inviter. Possibility of investing only for a period of 12 months. At the end of the term, the money is withdrawn from the account and can be re-entered again for a period of 12 months. Profits are withdrawn monthly and cannot be reinvested in the same investment account.
Deposits:
1. Junior = Deposit amount: ($100.00 - $500.00) Income: 8% per month
2. Pro = Deposit amount: ($501.00 - $2500.00) Income: 10% per month
3. Tycoon = Deposit amount: ($2501.00 - $10000.00) Income: 12% per month
4. Oligarch = Deposit amount: (from $10,001.00 - ~ $) Income: 15% per month"

The first thing a person interested in stock markets should understand is that the above text, typical and many times replicated on the Runet in different variations, has nothing to do with investment clubs. Everything you see above is pure scam!

Firstly, there are no “investments”, “loans” and “credits” in investment clubs. Secondly, there are no restrictions on withdrawal or any other form of redistribution of profits. Thirdly, not a single investment club, and simply not a single honest entrepreneur, will give guarantees on the return on investment in the stock market at the level of 8 -15% monthly. This order of numbers itself is fraudulent, so whenever you see offers of this kind, run away if you do not want to lose your money.

The problem is not that the exchange is unable to provide such profitability (it is quite possible to earn not even 15, but 150%, and not in a month, but in one day), but that no one will ever promise such a level of profitability, much less guarantee.

Finally, the last thing: investment clubs, in principle, do not imply and do not allow any form of confidential transfer of money to anyone, especially to “businessmen with extensive experience and an impeccable reputation.”

A real investment club rests unshakably on two pillars:

1. Exchange trading is not carried out by some good strangers and great schemers, but by the participants of the investment club themselves;
2. The main (and maybe the only!) purpose of this form of group activity is learning, not making a profit.

The last circumstance is especially important. If you want to earn income from investing in the stock market, you don't need an investment club at all. Take your money to banks, mutual funds, or trust a broker. The investment club is designed for those who want to independently study the stock market and learn to make sober and responsible decisions in this market.

It is assumed that after a thorough immersion in the topic and gaining the necessary experience, a person leaves the investment club, opens his own account with a broker and works in the market independently! I will tell the reader a little later about why the investment club is not suitable for full-fledged trading, using the example of personal experience. For now, I will present in general terms the main properties and characteristics of that structure, which alone has the right to be called an “investment club.”

The first investment club arose in 1898 in Texas in the wake of the burning desire of ordinary citizens to partake of the material blessings emanating from the distant and mysterious New York Stock Exchange. Farmers and merchants read in local newspapers about the next million dollars earned by elite traders on a lightning-fast deal, clicking their tongues in delight, shaking their heads and dreamily envying.

American envy (unlike Russian) has one remarkable property: a person does not want the ruin of his neighbor, but his own rapid enrichment. Ordinary people, eager to understand the secrets of the stock market, intuitively sought out the most reliable forms of education. Reliable, because readers familiar with my “Great Scams” well remember what a seething anthill of fraud and general deception provincial America was at the turn of the century!

There have always been plenty of offers in history to take your money “in management at a high interest rate” and “guaranteed return”, but the sad statistics of ruin, bankruptcy and shameless deception suggested that it is better to part with your own money as rarely as possible. It was obvious that a provincial American alone could not get into the stock exchange; the situation, however, changed radically when people who were close, trusted and well known to each other were united into a close-knit group of like-minded people.

This is how the first rule of the investment club was born, which is still an example of common sense: you should join a club not with just anyone, but with people from your inner circle! Investment clubs are primarily created by relatives, neighbors, friends and co-workers.

It’s great when you have a person in your inner circle who is professionally versed in finance. For starters, an ordinary accountant will be enough, but a banker or stock trader will simply be an asset to any investment club.

If there are no financiers around, it doesn’t matter: that’s why the investment club is created, so that all participants can independently master the technique of smart investing.

The ideal club size is up to 15 people. There are no formal restrictions on the number of participants, but larger numbers create additional challenges in terms of managing the club, coordinating training, and making investment decisions.

So, people decide to study the stock market together - what next? Nothing complicated. Firstly, there is no need to give your investment club any legal status, since this will not bring any benefit, but will only create difficulties in terms of taxation and other aspects of relations with the state.

The ideal, time-tested form for establishing an investment club is a general partnership with unlimited liability of its members (what is called a general partnership). In this case, each of the club members independently deals with their taxes, profits and losses.

The main conditions for maintaining the status of a general partnership: the investment club should not have any shares, no issues and no public offerings of securities to the outside. Equally, members must also not hold any securities issued by the club.

The general algorithm of the investment club is as follows.

Members make regular contributions to the club, usually in a minimal amount. Let's say, 1 - 2 thousand rubles initially, and then by agreement - any amount monthly: even 100 rubles is enough, since, as I already said, making a profit from stock exchange activity is not initially the main thing on the agenda of the investment club. If you manage to make money, great! If it doesn’t work out, it’s also not a problem, since the low costs are perfectly compensated by the knowledge gained and the experience gained.

A brokerage account is opened with the collected money - on behalf of any of the participants by joint agreement. It is advisable to draw up the decision on paper so that there are no misunderstandings and, especially, complaints later. Obviously, all this is built on complete trust in the person who opens the brokerage account for the needs of all club members. If there is no trust, then it is better not to start anything at all - another argument in favor of creating a club by relatives, close friends, and neighbors.

In proportion to their contribution, each member of the investment club receives a conditional share in the trading account, which determines two things: the size of the participant’s profit from successful trading, as well as the weight of his vote when voting when discussing and selecting candidates for purchase or sale on the exchange.

The trading account of the investment club is used to conduct real exchange transactions. As working capital increases (from the profit received and further regular receipts of contributions), new positions will be added to the club’s portfolio, or the size of existing previously open positions will increase.

The selection of candidates for inclusion in the investment portfolio is made as a result of voting by all club members. In practice, this looks like this: participants discuss the state of affairs of a particular company (start with anything - for example, with shares of Sberbank or Rosneft!), learn to read and analyze financial statements and information materials coming from the media, study one or another aspect of the stock market theories (for example, short selling, options hedging, risks and purpose of futures contracts, account margin requirements, types of exchange orders, etc.) put forward and defend arguments in favor of buying or selling shares of a particular company.

For all this activity, it is not at all necessary for all club members to physically gather. Virtual forms of communication will suffice – an online discussion club, a chat, a forum, a social network (by the way, it’s a great idea to open a page for your investment club on Facebook!).

Having a presence on a social network is also good because you can always seek help, advice, recommendations or advice from recognized experts and stock exchange professionals who, I have no doubt, will always respond and help you understand some complex aspects of stock exchange theory.

After discussing and approving the preliminary list of candidates for the investment portfolio, club members begin voting. The weight of each participant’s vote is determined by the size of his conditional share in the club. The calculation of this share is based on the so-called value units system, which is used in all investment clubs in America.

The structure of the system is easiest to explain with an example. Let's say we have three partners in an investment club:

The total fund of the partner club is 50+40+30=120. Let’s assume that a decision was made to purchase 100 shares of a company (in order not to offend anyone, let’s call it “Magadan Compost”) at a price of 1 ruble per share, while paying a commission to the broker in the amount of 1 ruble 20 kopecks. Thus, the club's assets amounted to:

Question: what personal assets does Petya have? What are Vasya’s? What are Katya's? I think arithmetically gifted readers will quickly master this problem. What if our investment club has not three participants, but 15? What if there is not one transaction, but 121? What if Petya took and withdrew half of his funds, and Katya, on the contrary, added another 70 rubles? How to take all this into account?

To eliminate confusion, the NAIC developed and recommended a system for use in investment clubs units of account – valuation units. Abbreviated R.E.

Usually the value of R.E. equals the average contribution amount accepted in the investment club. Suppose in our example the size of R.E. equal to 10 rubles. Then the initial situation looks like this:

As you might guess, as a result of investment activities, the value of R.E. may fluctuate significantly (and with it, the size of the conditional shares of each club member). The value of R.E. increases if the shares in the overall portfolio grow, the value of R.E. decreases if stocks fall. Also the value of R.E. may decrease slightly due to the deduction of commissions when making exchange transactions.

In this regard, the question arises: “By what value R.E. Will new members join the club, or can existing members make additional contributions?” The value of RE at which participants enter the club (or add money) is called approved unit of account (purchase unit). What is it?

In a traditional American investment club (in which the number of participants rarely exceeds 30 people), the value of the approved R.E. determined each time at regular meetings of club members (usually once a month). At these meetings, the so-called valuation report – evaluation report, which fixes the new size of the approved R.E. This value is valid throughout the entire month.

What's going on with R.E. between meetings? R.E. is constantly changing and at any given moment in time its value differs from the value of the approved R.E.. Such a value of R.E. called current unit of account (actual unit).

Recalculation of the value of the current R.E. can occur at any frequency previously discussed and approved by the club members: if you want - once a week, if you want - after each exchange session. In the latter case, during the current working day the previously approved R.E. will be in effect, and the current R.E. at the end of the exchange session will be considered approved for the next day.

We understand that out of habit, all this may seem overly complicated, but this is the golden highlight of the investment club - you not only engage in trading and strive to make money on the stock exchange, but also intensively comprehend the intricacies of financial science!

Now let’s return to our example with Petya, Vasya and Katya and run the transaction with Magadan Compost through the accounting department of units of account. After purchasing 100 shares, the R.E. changed instantly because commissions to the broker were paid. A universal formula for calculating the value of the current R.E. is this:

Current R.E. = ((total number of RE * previous size of approved RE) -+ current profit or loss) / total number of RE

Let's substitute the numbers from our example:
((12*10) – 1.20) / 12 = 9.90

Thus, the current R.E. after purchasing shares of Magadan Compost, it decreased by 10 cents and became equal to 9 rubles 90 kopecks (instead of the original 10 rubles). This is what the status of the individual accounts of all club members will look like at this moment:

Now, let’s assume that Magadan Compost has invented a unique fertilizer that can significantly increase the yield of the fields of our native Fatherland! In the wake of stunning news, the company's shares on the stock exchange jumped to 4 rubles per share.
At this fateful moment, the members of our hypothetical club - Petya, Vasya and Katya - decide not to tempt fate further and immediately sell all 100 shares in the general portfolio (and, by the way, they will do the right thing, because one of the golden rules of trading is: “ Buy rumor, sell news!”).
In the reporting of the investment club, the transaction will be carried out as follows:
100 * 4 – 1.20 = 398.80. To this amount we should add 18.80 – the amount of cash in the club’s account and we get: 417.60 – these are the club’s new assets. How are things going for each member? Let's calculate the size of the new current RE. after all these transactions:
((12*9.90) + 300 (profit on buying and selling shares) – 1.20 (second commission)) / 12 = 34.80
This is the size of the new R.E. Now it’s not difficult to calculate the individual portfolios of club members:

Voting for investment decisions in the club is based on the same units of account. Each club member has a certain number of votes, which is calculated using the formula:
Number of votes = account size * number of voting options

Let's assume that club members select a candidate to replenish their investment portfolio from three applicants. According to the formula in our example:

In the practice of investment clubs, two types of voting are accepted: majoritarian And cumulative

Today, almost all brokers provide potential clients with the opportunity to open a conditional account, deposit a conditional amount of money into it and “play trading”. My many years of experience in active exchange presence and teaching clearly tells me: simulating exchange activity is an absolutely unpromising, useless and dead-end path. Such trading is neither cold nor hot. Not to mention, you won't learn anything other than the technical elements of managing a brokerage account, placing orders, and using the interface.
It is the investment club that can convey the maximum reality of trading, combining traditional forms of education and training with invaluable live practice. There is, however, an important limit to the investment club that must be kept in mind from the very beginning.

The objective limit of the investment club was outlined for us by our own implementation of the idea within the framework of the mentioned educational project vCollege DSIC.

Our investment club existed for almost three years and at the peak of its popularity more than 500 people took an active part in its work. Many of the club members subsequently completed full training at vCollege, the rest chose an independent path on the stock exchange, and some realized that the stock market was not their occupation in life.

DSIC members meticulously and scrupulously implemented all aspects of the investment club’s work: they selected candidates for trading, held heated discussions, argued, convinced each other, carried out strong arguments and arguments, and voted according to all the rules of the cumulative procedure.

One of the most valuable elements of the experience we have accumulated has been our understanding of the deep psychological conflicts of trading as such. It turned out that any decision on the stock exchange should, in principle, be made on a strictly individual basis. Otherwise, psychological discomfort is guaranteed.

Subsequently, I witnessed similar discomfort with any other forms of collective trading. In addition to an investment club with a large number of participants, I had experience working on the stock exchange with two or three people, but in all cases situations arose when even a successful trade did not bring the expected and proper satisfaction. Whenever you open a position based on an offer from your partner, you are entering a slippery slope: if the trade turns out to be unprofitable, you will, albeit on a subconscious level, still harbor a reproach (“What did I tell you?! You shouldn’t have taken these papers !"). It’s even worse if a trade based on a partner’s tip brings profit, because in this case you will reproach yourself for being short-sighted and, as a result, lose confidence in your own ability to make decisions. On the stock exchange, this is the end.

Even with all of these limitations, the investment club is an ideal starting point for getting to know the stock market. The main thing is to learn to separate the wheat from the chaff and not allow crooks and swindlers who camouflage their activities under “investment clubs” to cast a shadow on the structure itself, which is wonderful and useful in essence.

An investment club is a community of like-minded people whose goal is joint investment in the stock market. There are several forms of investment clubs.

About the Academy's online Investment Club

The most difficult period in investment activity is the beginning. According to statistics, most mistakes are made by novice investors. The easiest way to avoid this is supervision by more experienced investors and constant classes that provide new knowledge and reinforce the material already covered with practice. This is precisely why it was created at the International Academy of Investments.

About Elite Investment Clubs

An investment club is a practical group of like-minded people who study together, put together a small amount each (you can start with $100), and then invest real money together and make real profits (not virtual money on simulators).

Practice has proven that learning new material always happens faster if learn by doing. So it is in this case: the very fact that you are investing your real money (even a small amount) encourages you to learn the basics of investing many times faster and approach this process more seriously.

In addition, each Club member receives support from more experienced investors who have confirmed their knowledge with successful practice in the stock market.

The main benefits of joining an investment club:

Exchange of knowledge within the club, regular training from professionals.
Support from successful investors.
The minimum entry threshold is the ability to start investing from $100 (Elite Club).
Saving time on market analysis.
Saving money on access to information.
The ability to copy club strategies on your personal account.
Opportunity to communicate with investors from different countries.
