Your Investment Learning Journey
Most successful community members follow a similar path of development over their first year with us
Foundation Phase (Months 1-3)
Learn market basics, understand different investment vehicles, and get comfortable with financial terminology. Most people spend this time asking questions and observing community discussions.
Active Participation (Months 4-6)
Start contributing to discussions, share your research findings, and begin developing your personal investment thesis. This is where many members find their preferred market sectors.
Strategy Development (Months 7-9)
Refine your approach based on community feedback and personal experience. Many members start leading specific discussion topics or research groups during this phase.
Community Leadership (Months 10-12)
Help newer members, contribute regular market analysis, and potentially mentor others. This is when the learning really accelerates through teaching.
Common Questions About Investment Communities
These are the questions we hear most often from people considering community-based learning
What if I'm completely new to investing?
Perfect! About 60% of our members start with little to no experience. We have specific onboarding resources and pair newcomers with experienced community members for guidance.
How much time should I expect to spend?
Most active members spend 3-5 hours per week in discussions, research sharing, and educational activities. You can participate more or less depending on your schedule and interest level.
Do you focus on specific types of investments?
We cover a broad range including JSE stocks, ETFs, property investment, and alternative investments popular in South Africa. Members often specialize in areas that interest them most.
What makes this different from online forums?
We have structured learning paths, regular expert presentations, and local meetups in Johannesburg. Plus, all members are verified and committed to constructive participation.
