PBIRG is a membership based not-for-profit corporation in Florida; comprising a group of high-net-worth individuals that are active investors, investment professionals, and family office members and executives. Members share and benefit from the group’s collective investing intelligence and from monthly presentations by targeted investment professionals. Members are diverse but many are entrepreneurs who have transitioned to being full time investors; and who wish to participate on a monthly basis in a peer-to-peer learning experience that is independent from major institutional investment advisors. Most group events take place in Palm Beach, one of the wealthiest and most exclusive locales in the world. Group events provide a safe, collegial and stimulating environment for members to discuss and share actionable investment ideas, as well as other issues relating to significant wealth. Members, by virtue of their financial resources, can be overwhelmed by investment advisors and offerings of all kinds. The ability to discuss opportunities in an unbiased and trusted environment of peers that are not selling products/services is therefore one of the major benefits of membership.
