Investment Club Operations Handbook
HelpRegister |
Investment Club Operations Handbook I was reading the Investment Club Operations Handbook recently (BetterInvesting), and I was hoping someone could clarify two questions that I had: (1) When there is a new member admitted or change to the partnership agreement, how is the agreement actually revised - meaning do you add an addendum page with everyone's signature, or do you re-create the whole document? (2) In terms of taxes, the handbook says when a member withdrawals, the withdrawal itself is a taxable event based on their cost basis. But, this does not make sense to me because all gain/losses, interest, dividends, etc are already being passed through to the individual members based on their proportional ownership. It seems this would be double counting. For example, if a club had a 25% return in year one and sold all investments and went to cash, the unit value would rise from $10 to $12.50. The gains would be passed through proportionately. If a member withdrew, why would the increase from $10 to $12.50 be a taxable event when the underlying securities transactions have already been accounted for on the K-1? Am I missing something? Thanks. |
