Submit an investment proposal

We’re looking for proposals for the management of investment funds totalling up to £50 million. The focus of the mandate is long-term impact on future generations. We want our investment to be a bridge to a better economy in the future.

 

Help us shift the focus from short-term increases in financial value to long-term intentional impact on future generations alongside financial returns. 

Aligning capital with values

We’re calling on the investment industry to create a bold portfolio that prioritises long-term positive impacts on future generations, alongside financial returns.

How it works

The Endowments Investing Challenge is a public tender process to select an investment service provider for a mandate of up to £50million.

 

Six charitable foundations have pooled resources to invest in a portfolio that demonstrates positive impact for future generations.

 

It culminates in a high-profile event where shortlisted providers present their investment solutions to a live audience of values-led investors and young adults who ask questions and vote on a “people’s choice” winner.
