Club 100 Plus

Club 100 Plus is a private investors club that allows its members to build diversified investment portfolios aligned with their personal preferences. The club has made approximately 80 investments totaling $140 million, with half allocated to start-up companies and the remainder to real estate, alternative funds, and other sectors. Operating through an investment committee of 40 experienced members, the club ensures a high-quality investment screening process. Members include businessmen and women, senior executives, entrepreneurs, and professionals from various fields, all united by the desire to invest in diverse enterprises. Membership is free and typically obtained through personal acquaintance with investment committee members or via a membership application form. The club's mission is to form a leading high-quality membership group interested in real investments and to introduce its members to promising investments of varying risk levels, primarily in technology, biomed, alternative funds, and real estate. It enables members to create a real investment portfolio tailored to personal preferences, with a high probability of success relative to the risk level. The club is not an investment fund and does not manage members' money. For each investment, a dedicated investment group is formed and incorporated ad hoc to make the specific investment, usually as a registered partnership. Accumulated experience shows that most club members participate in the two investment arms – start-up companies and real estate/alternative funds – thus creating a real investment portfolio that is balanced in terms of risk. The club identifies quality investment opportunities for its members. It is not, however, an investment fund and does not manage its members' money. Members participate only in investments of their choice, based on personal preferences and risk appetite. For each investment, an ad hoc group of investors forms and is incorporated as a dedicated legal entity, usually a registered partnership. With a relatively small amount of money, it is possible to build a diverse portfolio of real investments with substantial returns relative to the risk. The club operates through an investment committee of 40 members, all business leaders in their field, with years of experience in management and investments. Thus, the investment screening is of the highest quality. Investment committee members do not act solely in an advisory capacity but also participate in the various investments to a significant extent. An investment is offered to all club members only if at least six members of the investment committee have expressed an interest in it. The investment agreement is generally prepared by a lawyer who is an investment committee member personally participating in the investment. The remuneration of the management team is largely based on the investments' success. The club's various investment meetings promote interpersonal acquaintance, which is further fostered by club-sponsored social events, such as evening or weekend get-togethers, etc.
