Built for clubs that decide together
Investment club software that turns votes into trades.
Good Stewards runs your entire investment club in one place: pooled monthly contributions, member-proposed investments, club-wide voting, and execution through a regulated brokerage — with an audit trail every member can verify.
Most investment clubs run on a spreadsheet, a group chat, and trust.
That works until it doesn't. Contribution records drift out of date, votes happen informally in a thread nobody can find later, one member ends up doing all the bookkeeping, and when tax season arrives the treasurer loses a weekend reconstructing the year.
Good Stewards replaces that stack with one system of record. Contributions are collected automatically and ownership updates in real time. Proposals are written down, voted on, and archived. Approved trades execute in the club's own brokerage account. Every action is logged in a tamper-evident audit trail — so the club runs on structure, not memory.
And because Good Stewards is coordination software, not a money manager, the club stays fully self-directed: members propose, members vote, members decide. Good Stewards never holds funds, never places a trade the club didn't approve, and never gives investment advice.
Everything an investment club needs to operate
Proposals & voting
Any member can propose an investment with a written thesis. The club debates, votes under its own rules, and the result is binding — majority decides, not the loudest voice.
Pooled contributions
Members set a monthly amount and contribute automatically from their own bank. Ownership percentages update with every contribution — no spreadsheet math.
Brokerage execution
Approved proposals execute through the club’s own brokerage account at Alpaca. The club starts with stocks and is built to extend into other asset classes.
Tamper-evident audit trail
Every contribution, proposal, vote, and trade is logged and verifiable by any member, anytime. Perfect records for tax season and total transparency year-round.
Roles & governance
Presidents, treasurers, and members each get the right permissions. Operating agreements and club rules live where the decisions happen.
Non-custodial by design
Funds move only between regulated institutions — your bank, Stripe, your partnership account, and your brokerage. Good Stewards never touches the money.
Made for family investment clubs
Friends' clubs and coworkers' clubs work great on Good Stewards — but the platform was designed around families first. A family investment club gives parents, siblings, and adult children a shared destination, a monthly habit of contributing, and a decision process that turns money conversations from tension into teamwork.

Investment club software FAQ
What is investment club software?
Investment club software is the operating system for a group of people who invest together: it tracks each member’s contributions and ownership, runs proposals and votes, records meeting decisions, and keeps an audit trail of every trade the club approves. Good Stewards adds brokerage execution on top, so an approved vote can become a real order without anyone re-keying it.
How do votes turn into actual trades?
A member proposes an investment, the club discusses it, and every member votes inside Good Stewards. Only when the proposal passes under your club’s rules is the trade executed through the club’s own brokerage account at Alpaca. No single member — and never Good Stewards — can trade unilaterally.
Does Good Stewards hold our money?
No. Good Stewards is non-custodial coordination software. Contributions and assets move between regulated institutions — your bank, Stripe, the partnership’s bank account, and the Alpaca brokerage account — all in your club’s name. Good Stewards never holds or directs funds.
Is Good Stewards an investment adviser?
No. Good Stewards is not a registered investment adviser or broker-dealer, and it never recommends investments or manages money on your behalf. Every investment decision is proposed and voted on by your club’s members. Good Stewards provides the structure — the decisions are always yours.
Can we use it for a family investment club?
That’s exactly what it’s built for. Good Stewards is designed around families investing together — shared goals, monthly contributions, transparent ownership, and a decision process that keeps parents, siblings, and adult children on the same page.
