We take on the responsibility for investing a charity’s assets, including managing the risk, and coping with uncertainty.

Our approach
How A single strategy across all assets under management
Returns Strong track record of positive returns with low correlation to conventional investment strategies*
Protection Positive performance through dot.com bubble, the credit crisis and the crash in Q1 2020, but please remember past performance is not a guide to future performance 
Process  Distinctive, clear and repeatable 
Perhaps An attractive alternative to volatile equity markets

 

* Past performance is not a guide to future performance. Regulatory performance disclosure


Our charity clients

We manage money for charities, both large and small.

Our clients range from hospitals, universities and schools, livery companies, religious bodies, community foundations and grant-making endowments.

We have a specialist charity team of seven investment professionals.

In managing assets for so many charities we have an almost unimaginable responsibility. We bear this responsibility with bravery, and very great caution.
Jonathan Ruffer, Chairman

We hold and sponsor events, provide training for trustees and share investment thinking with our clients and the broader sector via our partnerships and charity publications.
