News and Analysis:Building a lasting legacy

This content is not appropriate for an in-depth article but included in case Martin wanted to replace this content with an article about this subject.

Many charities receive off-the-shelf investment services which do not account for their unique and often specific financial circumstances. Indeed, all too often, this advice comes at a price that is significantly higher than best practice.

Ultimately this advice and its associated costs will have an impact on how long your assets will last.

This is where we at Cartwrights differ.

It is important that you believe you have been categorised appropriately and are comfortable with the implications of that decision. If your charity has been classified as a professional client you should be receiving an institutional quality level of investment service and should be benefitting from the lower levels of fees and wider opportunities that an institutional investor would expect.
