An uncommon approach.
We’re not for everyone. Our approach to investing has been described as “contrarian”, “disruptive”, even “maverick”. We call it “refreshing”.
This is our happy place. A collective of smart-thinking and like-minded HNWIs that sparks, generates and trades in brilliant ideas and impactful insights to enable the creation of economic value while simultaneously leveraging accumulated personal wealth to benefit wider society.
We want to do well by doing good. It’s that simple.
A refreshing perspective
It’s vitally important to us that our club has a soul and a purpose, beyond that of simply generating individual wealth. We intentionally set out to create both economic and social value – and that balance is something we’re constantly aware of.
It’s why we’re always looking at the wider value of progressive, purpose-driven investments that will help change our world in positive ways – making it a better, safer, more interesting or more technologically advanced place.
Facilitating access
We’re an engine room of ideas and insights, constantly fuelled by the fascinating narratives, technologies and disruptive trends that are going to be changing the world in 10, 15, 20 years’ time…
We’re all about delivering actionable insights on emerging investment trends and themes. So we facilitate access to the world’s most disruptive companies and leading industry thinkers, showcasing the investment trends, innovations and deals that will drive our society’s future.
What makes us tick?
Collective intelligence
Meeting virtually and in person, members scrutinise management teams together and learn from one another’s ideas, insights, experiences and knowledge.
Sharp presentation
We attract world-class speakers for our club calls and produce high-quality creative videos to explain the rationale and power of the stocks and trends we showcase.
Social impact
We leverage individual affluence and opportunity to support positive social impacts. Our charitable programme donated £125k to good causes in its first full year. This year, our members have already raised over £115k for Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice in just 3 months via our Just Giving page.
Next generation
We’re always looking towards tomorrow and nurturing the natural energy and enthusiasm of the next generation. Each year, we provide graduate training within the investment industry. In preparation for their future employment, over 100 students have attended our free training programme to date.
OUR PURPOSE
“To deliver focused market intelligence and exclusive connection opportunities that enable members to grow wealth in a purposeful and rewarding way.”
