Investing with confidence in a turbulent world

With rising geopolitical tensions, shifting economic priorities, and ongoing market turbulence, charity trustees face increasing complexity in managing their investments, especially amid the financial pressures of inflation and rising costs. Quilter Cheviot will explore the key market themes shaping today’s investment landscape and what this means for your organisation. 

In this session, we will cover: 

• The big picture: What global conflicts, sanctions and trade barriers mean for markets, and the forces likely to shape returns in 2026

• Market behaviour: Why markets appear disconnected from geopolitical events

• Macro themes to watch out for: Geopolitical realignment, digital transformation, changing demographics, government debt and persistent inflation

• Responsible investments: How, if at all, has corporate behaviour changed in response to the Trump Administration’s hostile attitude towards ESG?

Charities SORP

The major updates to the Charities SORP will reshape how charities recognise income and account for leases effective for financial years starting on or after 1 January 2026. Crowe will discuss the key updates to accounting and reporting arising from the revised Charities SORP and FRS 102, and what they mean for your organisation. 

Key learnings:

• Income recognition made clearer - when to recognise grants, donations, and contracts under the new rules

• Leases on the balance sheet - what this means for your charity and how to prepare

• New requirement for the Trustees’ Report - including the new tiers for reporting. 

Who should attend? This event is exclusively for charities, and is suitable for trustees, finance directors and senior leaders. Spaces are limited and will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
