Who said only the big are mighty? As a boutique investment manager that leads the way in responsible and sustainable investing we know that not to be true.
Given our unique charity ownership, and as part of Ecclesiastical Insurance Group, the UK’s 4th largest corporate donor, delivering almost £100m to charity over the last 5 years, we feel it is vital for all charities, irrespective of size, to have access to investment services, especially high quality responsible and sustainable products managed by dedicated specialists. As a result, the minimum investment threshold for charity investors is just £1,000.
On Friday 18th June, during Small Charity Week and in celebration of Small Charity Big Impact Day, David Katimbo-Mugwanya, Senior Fixed Interest Fund Manager, led a workshop in partnership with the FSI on how to achieve social impact through your investments, however small.
In his workshop, David busted a few common myths or phrases we often hear from smaller charities. These include: ‘we’re too small to invest’, ‘a responsible approach means sacrificing investment returns’ and ‘we can’t make an impact with our small investment’.
