Charity Investment Forum 2025

Thursday 13 November 2025

About

We are delighted to be hosting our annual Cazenove Capital Charity Investment Forum on the 13th of November 2025.

Once again, the forum will be held as a hybrid event, giving you the option to attend in person at 1 London Wall Place, or virtually. 

The theme for this year’s forum is “Humankind: Politics, Power and Purpose”  

We will be joined by our keynote speaker Rory Stewart, alongside investment experts and practitioners, including Caspar Rock, Cazenove Capital’s Chief Investment Officer, Kate Rogers, Global Head of Endowments & Foundations, Alex Tedder, CIO of Equities at Schroders and Mark Norbury, Chief Executive Officer at UnLtd, to name just a few.

We will be coming together to discuss the forces that are shaping charity investment, not only in terms of market trends and economics, but also in response to the geopolitical shifts redefining our global landscape.
