In a new podcast, Elroy Dimson, BGI Professor of Investment Management, talks about philanthropic and charitable investors, and the unique challenges they face in the current economic climate.

Professor Dimson begins the podcast by discussing how market conditions have changed. “Markets have subsided but they haven’t gone down at the rate we experienced at the beginning of this decade”. He then talks about how one should be positioning a fund for 2008/9.

He goes on to discuss specific challenges for charitable investors and factors that they need to take into consideration that other investors may ignore. The podcast concludes by explaining the benefits of the Foundation and Endowment Asset Management programme held in June each year, at London Business School.
