About us

SIGnet provides:

• Local Groups across the country, usually meeting monthly – with stimulating agendas! Small enough to allow everyone present to contribute.
  
  
• Specialist Groups for investors particularly involved in a particular form of investing.
  
  
• No financial commitment to contribute to a portfolio. What you invest in and what you are worth is your private concern.
  
  
• The Serious Investor magazine reporting on topics relevant to private investors and members’ research.
  
  
• The SIGnet Sector Average Index (SSAI), an alternative to the FTSE 100, 350 and All Share indices to track the UK equity market which more accurately reflects private investors' portfolios. View a recent plot; and read more detail concerning the purpose and philosophy. As a subscriber, you will be able to download the index in Excel or CSV (Comma Separated Variable) format to use for further analysis in your own spreadsheet.
  
  
• The SIGnet Newsletter featuring group activities, exhibitions &c.
  
  
• This website.
  
  
• Discounts on products and services – software, training, exhibitions & publications.

SIGnet’s Objectives

To enable members to improve their investment performance from organised discussions with other investors of similar interest at local meetings, specialist groups and via the web.

Membership of a group helps an investor increase confidence in his or her investment decisions. An open mind and ability to listen to others are assets.

The emphasis is on investment techniques and knowledge rather than tips.

Status

SIGnet is an independent association of serious private investors. It is not involved with sharing consensus-formulated portfolios. It is not a pressure group. Addresses, telephone numbers and e-mail addresses are treated as confidential. There are groups in England, Scotland and Wales and groups are planned in Northern Ireland, Isle of Man and the Channel Islands.

Subscription

The Annual Subscription for participating members is £25. Fractions of a calendar rear at £2 per month. (In addition, some groups have moderate local meeting expenses).
