New feature Description Benefits
Default recurring contributions Club founders can set a default amount that each member is supposed to transfer to the club each month from their bank accounts. Enables clubs to build wealth faster and “pay themselves first”. This accelerates growth in assets on platform, with more capital available for clubs to deploy each month.
Advanced Order Types Makes it easier for a club to be patient in waiting for a price (good till orders) and/or get the terms they want by moving quickly (stop orders). Greater flexibility over how users plan and facilitate trades.
Stock Discussions Private investment club chat rooms.  Helps with discovering new investment ideas as well as the thoughts people have before making proposals. Deepens engagement and provides mechanisms to be a springboard for trades.
Referral Mechanism Members refer others from their networks to join an investment club. Users earn bundles of free trade tokens when a referred club gets funded, improving virality and enhancing visibility on the source of new clubs.
Teams – a white-label exclusive feature Exclusively deployed in the pilot workshop with OP Financial Group, teams enable individuals to control their own accounts in the context of social groups.  Teams will facilitate a broader pool of users and new account types, as certain accounts can’t be comingled in investment clubs.
