Guide: Are you a charity trustee?

Here's what you need to know about investing charity assets.

If you sit on a charity’s board or investment committee, you’ll know the weight of responsibility that comes with it.

You’re balancing financial returns, risk, and the charity’s mission, all while meeting your duties as a trustee.

A guide for trustees

Our Charities Investment Service has put together a short guide on what trustees need to know when investing charity assets. It’s worth a read if you want a clearer picture of the current landscape: Investing charity money: the new landscape for charity trustees.

A fully outsourced solution, built for trustees

As a B Corp investment manager, we offer a fully outsourced investment solution for charity trustees and investment committees.

Our charity team takes full accountability for every aspect of the charity’s investments, considering its attitude to risk, financial position, liabilities, and cash flow needs.

You’re backed by ongoing advice and clear communication, so you always feels informed.

Our specialist approach helps ensure the charity’s assets align with its values and support its goals, giving you and your fellow trustees confidence that you’re fulfilling your duties.
