Tailored investment management services for charities

At Adam & Company Wealth Management, we believe that every charity is different and that you need to feel sure that we understand the unique requirements and objectives of your charity or foundation.

We are acutely aware of the challenging responsibilities you face as a trustee of charitable investments, and we have tailored our services to help in any way you need. With extensive experience taking care of charitable organisations, and over £1bn in charity assets under management, Adam & Company is a name you can trust. 

How we will work with your charity

Your dedicated Investment Manager will take the time to get to know you, and will ensure our service, and your portfolio, are tailored to your specifications. They will be in regular contact with you, meeting either face-to-face or virtually, and can attend trustee meetings, if you need them to.

Our process is flexible, which allows us to reach our goals of ensuring your investment needs are met with the best possible returns for your selected risk level and inline with your charity’s Investment Policy Statement (IPS).
