ShareSoc is the UK’s premier individual investor organisation

 

We campaign on issues that matter to individual investors – from strengthening shareholder rights to improving how companies and markets engage with retail shareholders. We represent individual investors in discussions with companies, regulators, and government, working to ensure fair treatment, transparency, and accountability.

Alongside our policy work, we provide news and information, develop practical investor education, host insightful webinars and networking events, and – through SIGnet – support a nationwide community of like-minded investors.

Whether you’re just getting started or managing a substantial portfolio, ShareSoc exists to help you invest with confidence and influence.

Shareholder Rights

We believe all shareholders – including those holding shares through nominee platforms – deserve full access to their legal rights. This core campaign pushes for voting rights, company communications, and AGM access to be guaranteed for all investors.

Woodford Campaign

Thousands of private investors suffered losses in the collapse of Woodford’s investment vehicles. This campaign seeks accountability, redress, and lessons learned. We’re tracking legal routes, supporting affected investors, and pushing for stronger regulation to prevent future failures.

Hartley Pensions

ShareSoc is supporting clients of Hartley Pensions who have faced long delays accessing their retirement savings. We’ve engaged directly with the FCA and administrators, helped secure FSCS support for fees, and continue to push for a swift resolution to pension transfers.
SIGnet

The UK’s investor network

SIGnet is the UK’s only national network of investment groups — 58 groups and growing, meeting in person and online across the country. Each group brings together experienced and newer investors to discuss companies, exchange research and sharpen each other’s thinking.

SIGnet groups are not investment clubs — no pooled money, no tips, no selling. You make your own decisions, in your own time and in your own way, in the company of serious investors learning together. Members regularly call it the best investment decision they’ve made.

ShareSoc is the voice; SIGnet is the community.
