Charities and
endowments

Investment

Whether your charity’s spending plans are short-term, or your investment horizon is perpetual, we offer tailored advice in constructing, implementing and monitoring investment strategies.

We help charities implement risk-controlled investment strategies that have delivered strong returns. Our breadth of research ensures that our clients can access the right asset classes and investments based on their objectives and constraints.

Stable and high income is a key requirement for many charities and endowments. This is more difficult than ever in the current world of ultra-low bond yields. We help our clients overcome this challenge through diversification into alternative asset classes.

Our investment advisers have decades of experience working with institutional investors, researching and assessing novel investment opportunities, and providing personal advice, without the burden of a “house view”.

LCP assisted us with our strategy and manager line-up and were highly professional from start to finish.

How we can help

Our expertise in selecting managers is backed up by our global research covering a wide array of asset classes and investment styles. In addition to our proprietary research, we are supported by our global network of research partners, GIRA.

We are fiercely independent – we do not manage money – so we are able to advise our clients on the best investment products for their circumstances. We use cutting-edge technology to help you make better decisions in less time.

Our real-time market monitoring tool, LCP Spotlight allows you to easily evaluate how well your strategy and managers are working, to help you take advantage of opportunities or to take early, corrective action, if necessary.

We know how important fees are to charities, and we negotiate on your behalf to find cost-effective fund managers. Take a look at our fee survey to read more about the range of fees that institutional investors pay investment managers across different asset classes.

As signatories to both the UN’s Principles for Responsible Investment and the UK Stewardship Code, responsible investment and ESG are integral to our advice to charities and endowments. We help you to align your responsible investment policies with suitable investment managers and funds. Where our clients are seeking specific impact objectives, we help find funds to match.
