Foundations and NPOs

Independent Consulting for Foundations and NPOs

At a glance

When investing their assets, grant-making foundations and non-profit organisations (NPOs) not only have to pay attention to their risk capacity and their long-term financial stability. They often also need to focus on the foundation’s purpose and thus on a sustainable investment policy. When it comes to the subsequent mandating and monitoring of asset managers, a broad comparison of providers pays off (typical criteria are the stability of the asset manager, performance, fees, sustainability, etc.).

Strategic asset allocation

Definition of a suitable investment strategy while taking into account the statutes as well as the intended grants.

Ensuring financial stability

Proprietary model for any type of foundation (perpetual, spend-down, etc.) to establish your annual expenditure budget that can be financed in the long run.

Assessment of reserves

Assessment of the reserves a NPO needs, comparison with ZEW standards and peer group comparison (around 500 organisations).

Asset manager selection

Assistance in the selection of banks and asset managers, conducting contract negotiations.

Sustainability (ESG)

Development of a sustainability concept that is tailored to your needs and can be easily implemented, e.g. in a workshop with the foundation board.
