Doing well with shares (average 18% per year) how can I get people to invest in me?

I wouldn't worry about the administrative aspects of how to formalise this - fundamentally it seems extremely unlikely that you'd be able to persuade people to part with their money solely on the basis that you've achieved respectable returns during some good years of a bull run.

By all means kid yourself that you're capable of outperforming the market (and all the well-funded professionals trying to do the same) on a sustainable basis but getting random strangers to buy into that seems somewhat ambitious!

To what do you attribute your 'success' thus far?

I gave one of my twins 10K in capital to invest for me. But i know it is technically a gift and his money. but i trust him to hand it over if i ask lol. But it will all go to him and his brothers when we die anyway.

Have you asked your parents?

Probably a question better directed towards OP rather than me!

It was a long time ago now but I remember somebody winning an investment competition and forming their own fund on the strength of this. I don't think it ended well. Unfortunately I cannot remember his name.

All my heroes failed me in the end. Is that just the way the shining stars have to end ?
