Investment Policy
The Investment Policy of the Daniel Gaskell Foundation will follow the guidance set out by the Charity Commission in their document “Charities and Investment Matters: A Guide for Trustees” (CC14).
In order to continue making charitable donations into the future the Charity requires its funds to continue to produce an income which as a minimum keeps pace with inflation.
The Charity therefore seeks to invest all bequests so as to produce income from which donations are made. Whilst a portion of the Charity’s invested funds could be used as they do not form part of the endowed funds, it is not considered generally prudent to do so as it would reduce potential future income.
The Charity will seek to minimise risk whilst making sufficient return on its investments to at least keep pace with UK inflation and generate a level of income to meet current requirements (circa £21,000 in 2020).
The Charity will reduce investment risk by only dealing with firms which are regulated by the FCA.
Charity Commission advice is that collective investment schemes enable charities to diversify their investments and thus reduce their investment risk in a more cost effective way than investing directly in individually selected investments. Common Investment Funds are regulated charities in themselves and provide collective investment schemes where only UK charities can invest. They give charities the ability to invest in a tax efficient way in a range of investments to achieve a professionally managed, diversified and balanced portfolio. The Charity therefore invests its balances in the CCLA COIF fund.
The Charity is not required to follow any ethical policy on investment. The CCLA COIF fund follows a socially responsible investment policy and restricts investment in certain areas such as arms and tobacco trade.
The performance of investments will be reviewed annually in terms of income generated, capital appreciation and costs. Costs will be compared with those levied by other suppliers of COIF funds.
Income will be compared to previous years and also to the Charity’s requirements to meet expenditure. Capital appreciation will be compared to the rate of UK inflation,

the return on Government stocks, the return on UK equities, the return on foreign equities and the return achieved by other COIF funds.
Investment decisions will be made by all trustees collectively.
