Why Become A Member?
The World Federation of Investors Corporation, La Federación Mundial de Sociedad de Inversores, offers to its members the benefits of enhanced information and better investment tools and techniques. More specifically, the WFIC member associations receive and share information about investor education, ways to protect investors, good practices, mediation, investing analysis tools (software programs, guides, books), investor fairs, and technology while also experiencing enjoyable networking opportunities at our annual meetings.
Perhaps some of the most valued benefits from WFIC are experiencing what our colleagues from other parts of the world are doing to defend themselves against misleading information (there have been enough drams in the world of finance) while at the same time learning about new investment.
Our investor fairs offer the discovery of shares and companies with high potential that are not necessarily known in the vast public markets. We do not recommend specific companies but we develop ways to analyze markets and discover better spreads of risks also by having analytical views on investment funds.
Our meetings are of direct benefit to those who are interested in better investments, financial analysis, investor protection, and sharing knowledge and experiences with colleagues.

The annual membership fee for a national association is based on the number of members. Fees are as follows:
€115 for associations with 1,000 members or less,
€350 for associations with more than 1,000 and less than 10,000 members,

The bylaws of WFIC allow for only one national organization of individual investors and/or investment clubs of a country to become a member of WFIC and be entitled to nominate two representatives to the WFIC Board of Directors. If a country has more than one national association, the associations may mutually agree on a method for nominating two directors.
Join WFIC today along with these national organizations.
