Advice for Trustees

In England and Wales, the Trustee Act 2000 states that trustees must consider ‘standard investment criteria’, including:

The suitability of the investments to the trust
The need for diversification of the investments

These will form the background to our assessment of your charity’s requirements and should ensure that from the outset we have a comprehensive understanding of your investment needs. We also provide bespoke training for trustees.
