TRUSTEE TRAINING & ECONOMIC UPDATE
14 JUNE | 09:30
14 JUNE | 09:30 | VILLA PARK
What every charity trustee needs to know about their investment responsibilities in layman’s terms: arming yourself with questions to tackle your advisers.
This training is based on the Foundation Course that we run on behalf of Charity Finance Group (CFG). In recent years we have trained over 5,000 trustees and finance directors. We will use the Sarasin & Partners Compendium of Investment as the ‘text book’ for our training.

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 Rowena White 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.
