What are the benefits from becoming a member of UKSA? Apart from the advantages of supporting the general aims and objectives of UKSA and protecting your investments in UK companies, these are as follows:

• You gain access to a network of investors keen to discuss investments and share ideas. For many this is one of the most important aspects. Learning from the experience of others is one of the key advantages of membership.
• UKSA organises company analyst-style meetings with directors and senior managers of major PLCs which you can attend. This can put you on a level footing with the professionals and from asking questions you can learn a lot more than what is contained in their annual report.
• You will receive, at least quarterly, copies of 'The Private Investor', a newsletter with articles contributed by members and others on a wide range of investment issues (see the The Private Investor for more information).
• You will get a chance to talk to investment and corporate governance experts at regional and national events.
• You get discounts on investment software, free spreadsheets, free company reports and other services available only to members
• You can present your views and that of other private shareholders to Government, the City, Companies and many other bodies through working parties and company Annual General Meetings. UKSA can give you advice on how to speak at AGMs and question company directors, and may be able to assist when contentious issues arise. UKSA is active in taking up issues where companies’ boards are not acting in the interests of all shareholders, and can provide a focus for shareholder action - see the “Companies” page for examples of this.
• Your membership subscription also helps to support this web site which is a source of much useful information for investors and for financial media.
