Trustees 'should be free to seek total return investments without approval' - Civil Society - Finance - News - providing news and in-depth coverage of charities, voluntary organisations and not-for-profits: The Charity Law Association has recommended trustees are given the legal freedom to invest on a total return basis without seeking prior Charity Commission approval, in its submission to the Charities Act Review.
