Advice on investment policies
The Charity Commission require trustees to have
properly worked out policies on investment.
They strongly recommend in booklet
CC14 that charity trustees decide on an investment
policy for their charity, record it clearly in writing,
and keep it under regular review - if they have delegated
their investment function to an investment manager
these are legal requirements. Without an investment
policy, trustees are likely to find it difficult to
demonstrate that they are making good use of the charity's
funds.
Any investment policy should, for example, address
the following considerations:
- the need for enough resources for the charity
to carry out its present and future activities effectively;
- the level of acceptable risk and how to manage
it; and
- the charity's stance on ethical investment, if
any (see below)
