CHARITY INVESTMENT ADVICE

HELPING CHARITIES MEET THEIR INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES

How we can help

The Trustee Act 2000 outlines the duties and obligations of trustees. The rules apply to the trustees of charities, regardless of when they were established. Given this level of responsibility, professional advice is essential.

Our approach with charities is the same as with private clients: we work hard to identify your aims, values, goals and objectives and analyse what the charity is seeking to achieve. Once this process is complete, we will design and implement your investment strategy. This will include any ethical investment preferences.

Standard Investment Criteria

Trustees must consider standard investment criteria when managing a portfolio:

  1. Diversification

    The Trustee Act 2000 requires all trustees to pay attention to the diversification of their investments. We will ensure that your portfolio is spread across different asset classes.

  1. Suitability

    Trustees must ensure that their investments remain suitable. We will pay close attention to your investment criteria and aims. We will also ensure that risk is managed appropriately.

  1. Review

    Trustees are required to review and vary their investments. We will help you fulfill this requirement by carrying out regular documented reviews that will ensure your portfolio remains on track.

Charity Investment Service

Our Charity Investment Service enables trustees to comply with their statutory obligations. We help trustees demonstrate that they have taken and considered appropriate advice. Trustees are also able to prove that they have a suitable investment strategy, have regular reviews and have diversified their assets appropriately.
