02 Activities

What the charity does

The Charity Asstes Trust is a common investment fund established under section 24 of The Charities Act 1993. It follows an 'absolute return' investment strategy. This means that the Manager will not endeavour to track or 'outperform' a specific benchmark or stock market index, but instead seek to generate consistent positive returns regardless of the prevailing market conditions.
