investment club assets- returns on investment-zambia

Some investment club’s opt to move as investment options whereby after a long stretch of time the funds are re-invested for the individuals’ advantages.

However, a major portion of existing groups do not invest.

The few opt to make investment ventures yet have little knowledge on financial issues thus leading to economic losses.

Rarely do investments made by investment club’s lead to an optimum return for the team as most of the decisions are made on a theoretical basis or speculation. Other groups work in a repetitive way whereby every member gets the whole or part of the contributions of the gathering after a set period.

SACCO’s

The conventional way that investment club’s work in Kenya is as SACCOS.

Through the Act, several groups have been registered though their method of operation qualifies them as SACCOS.

Contributions are made by individuals occasionally, and credits are likewise offered to members. 

Investment-Options

However, groups which are formed with the objective of venturing into pooled assets investment may defeat the unique problems faced by investment club’s. This can be done by seeking after enrollment as a Collective Investment Scheme under the Capital Markets Act.

FEATURES

Saving in a savings and credit co-operative society (Sacco) involves depositing money and getting returns in form of dividends.

Money deposited in the SACCO is given out as loans to other members.

This earns returns in form of interest charged on the loans.

At the end of the year, members are paid a portion of the profits as dividends.

As a investment club, all that needs to be done is to forward members contribution every month and wait for dividends at the end of the year.

There are SACCOS that pay returns as dividends of as high as 20% per year. Many pay between 6% and 10%.
