We are the second member of the H&G Investment Club Family and were set up in May 1997. We were initially started as a response to the huge waiting list that was increasing on a daily basis to join the H&G Club. There are 20 of us and we each kicked the fund off with £500 to make an initial kitty of £10,000!! It is a limited life club of 5 years and this means that the investment strategy is different from that of H&G, which is long term.

The name comes from a discussion as to what to call ourselves. It started with the suggestion "monkey and pony" as we all started with a 'monkey' (£500) and were putting in a 'pony' (£25) a month. Sally thought that was silly(!) and suggested "Brass Monkey" - as we were hoping to make some 'brass' out of the deal. Quite frankly, we were getting bored by this time and the £10,000 we had to spend was burning a hole in our pockets so "Brass Monkey" it was!!

The H&G family now consists of 4 clubs..

The H & G Investment Club

The Brass Monkey Investment Club

S.T.I.C.

The Dirty Harry Investment Club
