Investment Club
Moleside’s Investment Club meets on the third Tuesday of each month and, managing its own portfolio, seeks to keep its blue line performance indicator ahead of its popular benchmarks.
We invited Simon Harker, a recent club recruit, to share his thoughts on his first months with us and what drew him to our Investment Club in particular.
“ I retired in 2022 and soon afterwards joined Moleside Probus. I quickly realised that the way to get the most out of the Club was to join in one or more of the activities that take place outside the monthly meetings. The Investment Club caught my eye.”
“I had had a certain prior interest in investments but really limited to Unit Trusts. From my point of view it was Investment Trusts that were really the height of daring (you can actually watch the price go up and down as you watch your screen) and as for buying shares in “proper“ companies, I really had no experience or indeed confidence.”
“The Investment Club meets once a month to discuss the portfolio, sales and acquisitions. From my point of view an unlooked for benefit has been that by meeting on a Tuesday it does not clash with other Probus and non-Probus events which tend to take place on Thursdays.
So if you have an interest in investments why not join us?”
Ed. Thanks Simon – and Moleside indeed works hard to avoid clashing dates both within our own programme and that of Cobham’s Cedar Club of which many of our other halves are enthusiastic members.
