Our Philosophy
Our work with charities is based around three core principles: Partnership, Purpose and Performance.
Partnership – Our aim is to build a relationship with you, not complete a transaction with you. We understand that charities want to work with individuals that understand them and that every charity has its own unique circumstances and objectives; one size does not fit all. We do not have relationship managers; we have investment managers. That means the team you meet, is the team making decisions about your investments. As your investment partner, we will take a complete approach to get to know you and your aims, motivations and competing pressures (financial and non-financial).
Purpose – Our goal is to ensure that your investments align with your values, to protect and enhance the reputation of the charity. At a portfolio level, we invest within an authentic responsible investment framework where environmental, social and governance factors are considered alongside financial matters. For us, it is simply sound investing and a source of information to help us identify quality companies. We fundamentally believe that well-run, socially, and environmentally aware organisations are going to deliver the best returns over the long-term.
Performance – Our goal is to maximise the performance of your investments. We construct resilient, global portfolios that are positioned to benefit from long-term structural changes within our world. This multi-generation time horizon helps us tune-out the short-term noise and focus on the factors that drive sustainable long-term investment performance.
We are long-term investors with a global perspective. Our bottom-up investment approach is grounded in fundamental analysis and proprietary research. We construct high conviction active portfolios of 40-60 direct holdings, with an emphasis on quality companies which are the beneficiaries of global structural growth trends
