The Alpha Common Investment Funds have been designed to allow charities to efficiently and successfully fulfil their investment objectives. There are two key factors that have been put in place to enable these objectives to be met.

First is the team responsible for delivering the strategic and day-to-day investment management advice and client reporting: Sarasin & Partners LLP is a specialist investment manager with strong charity credentials.

Second is the structure: the Income & Reserves Fund and the Endowments Fund are both Common Investment Funds approved by the Charities Commission. Each is a charity in its own right.

In summary, by creating two funds designed specifically for charities and employing a committed investment management house with a strong performance record, charities can achieve success through specialisation.
