Women earn less and live longer. But still, only 1 in 5 women currently hold an investment compared to 1 in 3 men.
Join the Gender Wealth Gap Revolution today by starting an Investment Club with Stockpot.
As a group, you’ll all invest a fixed amount of money (you decide how much!) in your investment pot each month.
Each member “pitches” an investment. As a group, you’ll vote on which shares or funds you’d like to buy. We’ll help by showing you around all the Wall St lingo!
Invest in the shares or funds you agree. Enjoy your new-found confidence of investing as a group.
Join our community of investment clubs. Finally! A safe place to talk about investing where we’ll share results and learnings across clubs.
We've always been told that it's safest to store our money in cash. But with inflation set to rise, the real spending power of our money goes down each year.
If you'd have put £100 away in 1999, after adjusting to inflation you'd have £56 if you'd held it in cash, £124 in fixed term savings accounts and £284 if you’d put it into the stock market.
Of course, past returns don’t indicate future performance but over the long term, cash is one of the only places where you’re guaranteed to go backwards.
But still, just 1 in 5 women currently hold an investment compared to 1 in 3 men. Some find investing intimidating, others find it boring. Whatever the barrier, teaming up with others makes it fun and way less daunting. We believe that investment clubs are key to helping women prepare for their futures.
An investment club is just like joining a running club or book club. Pound those pavements, turn those pages or invest those earnings. Together. No one likes letting the team down.
There’s just something about safety in numbers. Just like skydiving, investing seems less daunting when you’re in good company.
A diversified portfolio is a less risky portfolio. You don’t want all your eggs in one basket. Teaming up with others offers up different experiences and perspectives.
We’re in this for the long haul. Time IN the market beats TIMING the market. None of this “Buy The Dip” faff. Just the tried and tested method of investing regularly.
Money makes the world go round but it's supposedly a taboo topic? Yeah, no thanks. Investment Clubs help to normalise talking about money.
Turn something you used to dread into something you look forward to. Your club meetings are surprisingly fun, so you’ll be far less likely to give it up. Commitment FTW!
