Live webinar: Re-evaluating defence stocks in charity investment portfolios

For many years, aerospace and defence companies have been considered off-limits for charity investments. They have often been grouped with so-called “sin stocks” such as alcohol, gambling, tobacco and pornography, and excluded on ethical grounds. 

However, with the ongoing  war in Ukraine and a rapidly shifting geopolitical landscape, this stance is increasingly being questioned. 

Join us for a thought-provoking webinar hosted by Nicola Toyer, Charities Director at Quilter Cheviot, as she explores this timely topic with a panel of expert speakers:

•         Commodore Mike Beardall MA RN (Retd) – CEO and Editor, The Naval Review

•         Charlotte Schofield – Director of Fundraising, University Hospitals Birmingham Charity

•         Richard Williams EMBA FCA – Trustee, The Church in Wales

•         Matthew Dorset – Equity Research Analyst, Quilter Cheviot

Together, the panel will discuss:

•         How global events are influencing investment decisions

•         The case for including defence and aerospace stocks in modern charity portfolios

•         Whether trustees and finance leaders should be challenging the status quo and what should be considered before they do. 

The webinar will feature a Q&A format, providing an opportunity for you to ask questions relevant to your organisation’s needs. To maximise the benefits of this session, we encourage you to submit any questions in advance when registering.
