- 9. ORGANIZATIONAL PORTFOLIO WITHOUT A DOUBT THE MOST REQUESTED CLUB FEATURE The Situation Nearly unanimous desire for a fund “Real money” fund currently impractical due to constraints Possession of funding issues Collection Disbursements Fees Etc. Costly mechanism to adequately pool money together Prior funds have been liquidated We can no longer ignore this desire; the UK Investment club needs this aspect in order to live up to its name
- 10. A VIABLE SOLUTION Real money is currently not viable We need a digital service with adequate controls & functionality Morningstar, Inc.
