A natural and vigilant approach butone that author –James Brooke-Turner, Investment Director at the NuffieldFoundation – turns on its head.

In his innovative newbook, he challenges conventional charity investment practice.

Being over-protectiveof the capital, he argues, can thwart a charities spending plans and itsultimate mission, whereas the more a charity spends the more it can make adifference.
