WEDNESDAY 2 NOVEMBER | 10:30 | Edinburgh
What every charity trustee needs to know about their investment responsibilities in layman’s terms: arming yourself with questions to tackle your advisers.
In recent years we have trained over 5,000 trustees and finance directors. We use the Sarasin & Partners Compendium of Investment as the ‘text book’ for our training.

11:00 - 15:00: Understanding your investments (more about the session below), including light lunch
UNDERSTANDING YOUR INVESTMENTS
Even though the day-to-day management of a charity’s investments is usually delegated, trustees retain the ultimate responsibility and liability. When matching an investment objective and benchmark to a charity’s wider goals, an understanding of the investment landscape is important.
Oliver Bates and Helena Wakefield will cover the following topics:
- A review of the characteristics and returns of the different asset classes in which charities invest
- A history of endowment returns and sustainable spending levels
- Future returns: realistic assumptions
- What to consider when creating a strategic investment policy
- Implementing your investment policy: appointing (and managing!) a manager
This is designed as an interactive session: questions are welcome as we work through the subject matter. There will be a 10-minute leg stretch at an appropriate moment.

The training will take place at The Balmoral Hotel, Edinburgh.
