Headline Sponsor

Rathbones is a leading provider of investment management services, managing £47.5 billion¹ of funds for individuals, families, charities and not-for profit organisations. We manage £5.8 billion¹ of charity assets for over 1,900 charities. While no two charities are the same, we understand that many trustees face similar challenges in meeting their fiduciary duties, while acting in the broader interests of the causes they support. The Rathbone family was active in improving social welfare during the nineteenth century and we have since supported trustees, individuals and families in their philanthropic activities, through advice on strategy and structuring. We have a dedicated award-winning charity team of 22 members, over half of whom are charity trustees in their own right, underlining their personal and professional commitment to the sector.

1. As at 5 April 2019 – includes funds managed by Rathbone Unit Trust Management

**as at 31.05.19.

The value of investments, and the income from them, will fluctuate, which will cause fund prices to fall as well as rise and a charity may not get back the original amount it invested.

At Ruffer, we have a distinctive approach to investing which we believe is well suited to the needs and goals of community foundations and their trustees. We focus on deliver ‘all weather’ investment returns and protecting and growing the value of our clients’ assets throughout the market cycle. Instead of following benchmarks, we aim not to lose money in any single year and to deliver a return significantly greater than the risk free alternative of cash on deposit. By aiming to avoid the cyclical gyrations of the market, we aspire to provide a less volatile experience for our charity clients.
