Market Miners Investment Club added this clause to our bylaws:

5. In special circumstances, partners may call for a vote for a purchase or sale of assets to be taken via e-mail ballots. After a detailed proposal is sent to all members, there shall be a three day waiting period for rebuttal and discussion. Votes will be collected by the Senior Partner and the Treasurer. When they are in agreement that a majority of the full partnership has cast their ballots to authorize a specific action, the order for a purchase or sale will be placed with the broker and the partners will be notified of the actions taken.

Lee Weygandt, MMIC Treasurer

Jeff,

I'm not a lawyer, so I can't provide legal advice. However, as a tax professional with decades of experience, I've seen too many instances where things have gone wrong and when the lawyers do get involved, they look for the paperwork. The fact that your club has discussed this and agreed to the procedure by a documented vote is good. it would seem to be a "belt and suspenders" move to amend the appropriate club governing document so there can be no future question that this was approved by the club.

Our Club does it by email.  We have 9 partners and try to make sure everyone has read the email and we have a quorum before any purchases.

This process is not in our Partnership Agreement,  We discussed and voted on the process during a regular meeting about a year ago and the discussion and vote is documented in our minutes for that meeting.

Is this sufficient, or is it recommended or required that the process be in the PA?

Thanks

Jeff

If you think you might have to do this, you should have a documented procedure that is part of your Partnership Agreement or Bylaws. Any deviation from your adopted rules can lead to conflict and potential legal issues if a member feels injured by the action.
