BPW Investing Club

BPW members organized an Investing Club in 2002 to learn more about investments and money management and to enhance social relations among the group.

Membership in the Investing Club is open to any member of Business & Professional Women. The group currently has eleven members.

Meetings are held monthly. Each member must contribute a minimum of $25.00 per month to the club's funds, which are then used for the purchase of stocks. Members follow individual stocks and report at the meetings on the progress of those stocks.

 
In 2008 the Investing Club maintained its portfolio at 20 stocks, choosing to purchase more of those stocks it already owned rather than buying new companies. The portfolio is balanced among types of stocks. With the market downturn, the portfolio is worth less than it was at the end of the previous year, but the club has earned good dividends and plans to stick to its policy of investing for the long term. The Manhattan club is a member of the National Association of Investors, an organization by and for investing clubs.
