Trustee Investment Strategy for Endowments and Foundations捐赠与基金受托人投资 网盘下载 pdf 免费 2025 在线 epub 电子版

Trustees are responsible for the stewardship of assets and for implementing the mission of their endowment or foundation. Almost invariably trustees delegate the management of those assets to agents who are investment professionals.

In this increasingly sophisticated and litigious financial world there can be a growing gap of comprehension, exacerbated by mathematics and jargon, between trustees who are responsible and agents who are accountable.

This book aims to fill that gap. The book draws on the author's own experience and research and that of generations of investment professionals and academics to explain the fundamentals of investment strategy.

Key features are therefore:

Foreword by George Keane (founder and former president of Commonfund, won the first ever Lifetime Achievement Award from Foundation & Endowment Money Management) one of the icons of endowment fund management in the US

Aimed at professional trustees

An holistic approach to strategy

Avoidance of jargon and mathematics

Focus on principles underlying asset strategy
