Investment Club Toolkit: Meeting Agenda, Rules, and Decision Logs

A structured toolkit for investment clubs: meeting flow, role assignments, and decision logs to avoid groupthink.

Most investment clubs underperform because discussions are opinion-heavy and process-light. This toolkit introduces structure so ideas are challenged, documented, and reviewed objectively.
