The investment challenges faced by not-for-profit organisations, in most respects, are the same as those faced by commercial investors – most obviously higher inflation, higher interest rates, financial market volatility and uncertain economic growth.
At Aon, we believe that not-for-profit organisations of all sizes should be able to access the absolute best in investment advice and services, to achieve the same standards of capital preservation and income generation expected by other institutional investors.
What we do
Aon’s strategic investment advisers and asset management experts bring their deep investment knowledge, best ideas and operational excellence to not-for-profit investment portfolios to cut through investment complexity and keep pace with market opportunities.
We work with trustees of charities, endowments and foundations to build a deep understanding of their return objective, risk tolerance, spending plans, responsible investment views, and governance concerns.
Together, we develop an optimal investment strategy and execution plan designed to:
- Increase portfolio efficiency
- Manage investment risks
- Access best-in-class funds
- Address ESG and responsible investment considerations
- Achieve strategy and fund-level fee-savings.
“The continually expanding scope and complexity of investments has increased the need among not-for-profit organisations for deep investment experience, agile decision-making and execution and sound investment governance.”
