Hey, Bigboy and Frankiriri,

As promised I called the stockbrokers (Zenithsec. and cashcraft) and the discussions were a little fruitful. They have a 'joint account' arrangement and a 'family account' which I didnt understand too well but Zenith securities promised to send me something in my email to better understand.
Cashcraft I will have to call again tomorrow.

It is understandable that we have to register the 'organisation' but as at the last time I checked registering a business in Nigeria was not a walk in the park.

What we need is an arrangement that will protect all concerned. Maybe something everybody can sign (for now) and get up and running. I don't know how much time we have or how soon everybody wants this thing up and running but I think the sooner the better.

If we can get the stockbrokers to bear the 'organisational' burden for now while we get organised that will be beautiful.
Any arrangement that does not involve an incorporated company will not be too tidy for the type of organisation that you are thinking of.
That is the reason why I have decided to use the company I iincorporated for another purpose for the investment club that I run.
All I will do is to appoint the elected officers of the club as officers of  the company with respect to all the transactions the company will enter in to on behalf of the club

Finally, stay away from JAPAUL, Crusader Ins, Cornerstone ins, Transcorp, and the Access Bank PO!



Why Access Bank??? I was hoping to catch some Access when the IPO opens, but you're making me wonder now.

@easimoni
Thanks brother man.
I wonder whether you can help me analyse my current stocks, that is, offer advise on which you will retain and which you will keep. If you indicate a willingness I will send a private e-mail to you. Thanks again

@ Bigbwoy
I have recently registered a company to offer investment services. I am also presently doing  a business name registration for the club. My company is a member of the club. So It will enter into an agreement with the club for the shares to be held in its name and then it will in turn appoint the officers of the club as officials of the company with respect to all the club's transactions undertaken in its name. 
On paper I have some fifty something members.

Sure, email me on easimoni2004@yahoo.com

Also, this thread was meant for the proposed Investment club. Let's move this discussion to a more appropriate thread.

Hi People.

Just received a reply from Zenithsec concerning opening a stockbroking account with them. I have copied and pasted the reply below.

Quote
Good Morning Sir,
 
Am very sorry sir for not replying your mail immediately.
 
Concerning our last discussion,you can only operate such account if its a partnership business hence the company must be registered.Once the company is registered and you are still interested in opening the account then we can open a corporate account for you.The requirement for opening the account is as follow:
 
1.Certificate of incorporation (Original must be sighted).
 
2. MEmorandum and Articles of Association (certified true copy) by the Registrar of companies and a director of the company.
 
3. Board resolution appointing Zenith Securities Ltd as the company's stockbroker/fund managers and this       must include names of all signatories to the account and directors of the company in attendance.This must be executed under company seal.
 
 
Thank You.
 
Ese.

In this regard I am wondering what the next best step would be.

I will still be going to Naij later this month. I have been quite busy writing some professional exams so I do apologise for not keeping the thread alive plus the stockbrokers themselves were not very quick in replying.

I am wondering if going with Frankiriri is not going to be the best route IF WE INTEND TO TAKE A JOINT POSITION IN THE FIRST BANK PO.

@ Frankiriri
How many people do you have on board and How much has been raised? What is the minimum, average, maximum and mandatory price for inclusion in your club? What is your target for the club for the First bank PO?

I already have a company to use. I am also registering a business name for the club./ We have just concluded the election of the officers so we are going to be opening an account soon. Once all the modalities are set we will take a position in the market.

on paper I have 58 people. However the wheat will be seperated from the chaff when we start investing

Good job!
OK I think you are in the right direction then.

How important is taking a position in First bank to your plans? Will you be able to conclude your arrangments before the PO is over?

See you soon.

We have raised N136000 from four people, one of whom is in  the US. The admission fee- for covering admistrative charges is a one - off fee of N5000 and the minimum monthly contribution for the main class of membership is N5000. Members are encouraged to pay their subcription upfront to enable us invest available balances in bulk.
For the First Bank PO I expect that we should be able to do at least 10000 units

The club has not  been registered. But my company which is also a member of the club has. And since the only way for an unregistered body to buy shares is to buy in  the names of the individual members we are using the club as a proxy. the company will appoint the recently elected members of the clubs governing council as it's officers in respect of all the transactions relating to the club.
E.g we are in the process of opening accounts for the club with Intercontinental bank, so the company will appoint the officers as the signatories to that account.

@bigboylary
I dey very sorry jare. Na dis book book wey we dey come suffer for here. I go bell you today or tomorrow.

@blackbeaut and other people in UK

We need to meet or network to get ourselves organised (my email is dunhayes@yahoo.com).
I will be going to naij by the end of this month so are many other people who are interested. So we can either agree to meet before we all go to Nigeria (Important if we hope to take a position in the Firstbank PO), meet in Nigeria (To gather information, get the business side sorted out (ie. link Frankiriri) and report back to people in the UK who cant be there physically) then meet back in the UK to decide which equities we will be investing in (Obviously Firstbank would not fit into this last option).
This is just my view though. I will be glad to hear suggestions from you folks.

Opps. There was a typo highlighted in the statement in green. I have corrected. So the sentence should read better now.
The club I am refering to is the Betta Investment club which I  run.

Yes, My investment services company is a member.
Myself and another director of the company are members of the club.
The club is not the company and the company is not the club.
Nigerian rules require that only incoporated bodies can hold shares or any other property for any group of persons. The only ways to get around this rule is to : (1) Incorporate the club (this is different from a business name registration which is what we are pursuing for the club) (2) Buy stocks in the name of specified members
(3) Buy stocks in the name of a corporate body which is also a member.
It is this last option that we have adopted as it saves on the initial cost ( and stress) of registration and also enables the elected officials of the club to be in direct control of the assets of the club.

your idea is brilliant but i would suggest that u buy into international shares instead of the corrupt country,everything built here is built on corrption and read me,it would not go for long.

i wld suggest u contact etrade to register your club name,put in some money for them to use in buying stocks and shares,before u know it google wld be interested in buying into it and u're already a big man.dont 4get the dollar wld always go high no matte what so if you start from there things wld change.
