areas of interest for any investment club. It is available at all dfcu branches at no cost.

However, members are encouraged to amend it to suit the clubs’ specific needs, preferably

with the advice of a lawyer.

members, are often some of the best circles to consider when starting an investment club.

This ensures that the ties that bind the partners are deeper than just business.
