Connect your clients with the world’s most impactful climate philanthropy.
Clients increasingly want to do something meaningful about climate change. But while sustainable investing is vital, its impact is limited. No investment product exists for directly regenerating the planet.
Meanwhile, philanthropy has a critical role to play in tackling climate change. But less than 2% of global philanthropic giving goes to climate mitigation efforts.
Help us build a bridge between these issues. Tackle two challenges with one innovative solution.
The Global Returns Portfolio is the first selection of effective and scalable philanthropic organisations tackling climate change.
Our ‘fund management’ approach to philanthropy means we embrace diversification, rigorous selection research and regular performance reporting. Our team of world-class climate scientists oversees the Portfolio’s selection and assessment.
Financial advisers offer the Global Returns Portfolio as a philanthropic option for clients. The Global Returns Project (UK charity no. 1186683) runs the Portfolio. We charge no fees to participating advisers and take no deductions from client donations to the Portfolio.
1. Advisers incorporate information about the Global Returns Portfolio into regular client correspondence (onboarding materials, annual reports etc). Interested clients are directed to the Global Returns Project website for more information.
2. Clients set up a regular donation on our ‘contribute’ webpage, selecting their financial adviser from a dropdown menu during the donation process. Most individuals start with a donation of 0.25% of savings and investments annually.
3. 100% of every donation goes to the Global Returns Portfolio’s constituent not-for-profits. Clients and advisers are sent detailed six-monthly Impact Reports.
