We do not have a deadline to become a member. But the deadline to give up your investment group preference is the 24th of October. So, keep this in mind and don’t miss out on joining one of our 47 investment groups.
How do I get to know the Investment groups?
On every Thursday in September and October we have a social drink where all investment groups will join as well. Here you can speak to the members, ask them questions and taste what being a B&R Beurs members means. Many investment groups organize their own events as well, so be sure to ask them or look at their Instagram account to find more information.
How does the sign up for an investment group work?
After the last formation drink, you can give up your preferences at our website. With the preferences, you can choose your top 3 investment groups you would like to join. The deadline for filling in the preferences is on the 24th of October. The days following the investment groups have meetings and will decide who can join them. This will be done in three rounds:
- The first preferences will be shared with the groups.
- After the decisions about the first preferences, the second preferences will be shared with the groups if they have spots left.
- After the decisions about the second preferences, the third preferences will be shared with the groups if they have spots left.
What happens if I did not get into an investment group?
If you did not get into your top three, don’t worry! We still have an extra formation drink on the 30th of October. Here you can try to find a different investment group.
