Schwab "Update" Form APP70337-09 (04/23)
I'm a partner in two investment clubs. In both we were
recently switched from TDA to Schwab.
We are both in the process of changing Treasurers and
struggling with Schwab's Update Form.
"Update Your Schwab One Organization Account for
Incorporated and Unincorporated Organizations"

In Section 2, we are asked for our NAICS code. I selected
#523910 Miscellaneous
"This Industry Comprises Establishments Primarily Engaged In
Acting As Principals (except Investment Bankers, Securities
Dealers, and Commodity Contracts Dealers) In Buying or
Selling Of Financial Contracts Generally On A Spread Basis.
Principals Are Investors That Buy or Sell For Their Own
Account.

Individuals investing in financial contracts on own account
Investment clubs
Mineral royalties or leases dealing (i.e., acting as a
principal in dealing royalties or leases to investors)
Oil royalty dealing (i.e., acting as a principal in dealing
royalties to investors)
Tax liens dealing (i.e., acting as a principal in dealing
tax liens to investors)
Venture capital companies
Viatical settlement companies"

Does that sound right?

I'm also gather signatures from members for these two
sections
10. Authorizations to Update Account for Non-Incorporated
Organizations Only
11. Required Certificate of Authority and Resolution
(Complete only for Non Incorporated Organizations)

This 17 page form is intimidating, and it was accompanied an
additional four pages we need to read and acknowledge.
Linda,

Yes, 523910 is the correct NAICS code for an investment club. I know that BI used to (maybe, still does) recommend 523990, but that is clearly incorrect. For federal income tax purposes, some tax software only allows you to use 523900. Note that each additional non-zero digit represents a subcategory of the shorter version. That is, 523910 and 523990 are both subcategories of 523900.
