Why We Started This Club
The Club was born from the collective brainstorming of a group of private investors who experienced firsthand the challenges of dealing with unprofessional and deceptive sponsors and fundraisers. These frustrations underscored a troubling reality for amateur investors:
- Their smaller investment sizes often excluded them from reputable private investment opportunities.
- They were subjected to high fees or lacked access to high-quality sponsors.
H.G. and Cheng founded the Club to solve these issues by pooling resources, conducting deep analysis, and creating a transparent and trustworthy platform.
Our Philosophy
This Club’s inception is deeply rooted in the founders’ personal investment journeys. Their distinguished backgrounds have instilled a strong commitment to:
- Rigorous Analysis: Members would collectively make rigorous analysis on the private investment opportunities in the online forum. It is also essential for members to conduct their own due diligence to ensure they make informed decisions.
- Knowledge Sharing: By sharing insights gained from decades of experience, the Club empowers members to make informed decisions.
- Equity and Transparency: The Club prioritizes fairness, extending all negotiated benefits and opportunities equally to its members.
We are here to redefine the private investment experience, opening doors to opportunities that were once out of reach for individual investors.
How to Invest in the Club
Four Steps to Join Our Investment Opportunities
- Identifying and Negotiating Opportunities
Any member can present promising investment opportunities and bring them to the Club. Leveraging the collective knowledge of our members, a thorough analysis is conducted. Based on individual risk-reward expectation, members can express their interest in investing or not. The Club would negotiate favorable terms with sponsors on behalf of the members. Once the terms are finalized, we share these terms with our members. - Pooling Member Interest
If there is sufficient interest from members to meet the Club’s negotiated minimum investment amount (typically ranging from $1 million to $3 million), we form a special-purpose LLC to make the investment collectively. - Managing the Special-Purpose LLC
The Club serves as the administrator for the LLC. We handle all legal and tax requirements for the LLC and facilitate contributions, distributions, and redemptions between the LLC and the fund. This allows members to focus on their investment journey while we manage the operational complexities. - Administrative Fee
To cover the legal, tax, and administrative costs associated with running the LLC, the Club charges a flat fee based on the invested amount. For detailed fee percentage, please refer to each specific investment. This fee is deducted from the distributions received by the LLC, ensuring transparency and alignment with members’ interests.
Our Approach
This Club was created to share the lessons we’ve learned as individual investors and the invaluable insights gained through rigorous research and analysis. Our goal is to foster a supportive community where members can learn, share ideas, and achieve success together.
Key Principles:
- No Investment Recommendations or Advice: While we share our opinions and ideas, we do not provide specific investment advice or recommendations. Members should conduct their own due diligence or consult with financial advisors.
- Avoiding Conflicts of Interest: We do not receive payments from sponsors or engage in profit-sharing with investment sponsors, ensuring our independence and maintaining alignment with our members.
- Equitable Terms: Any favorable terms negotiated on behalf of the Club will be extended equally to all members who choose to invest.
Why an Administrative Fee
Unlike traditional fundraisers in the marketplace, we do not profit from commissions, kickbacks, or profit-sharing arrangements with sponsors. The small administrative fee charged to the LLC is our only source of revenue, ensuring we can:
- Manage the legal and tax compliance of the LLC.
- Provide seamless administration of contributions, distributions, and redemptions.
- Maintain independence and focus solely on creating value for our members.
