NPA Keynote Series - Sept 2022 - Beyond the market noise: understanding investment risks for NFPs

As social sector Leaders we need to understand the challenges of preserving our capital while financing our mission’s activities, which can be a daunting task during times of market volatility, especially with the current risk of recession and rising inflation.  

As Leaders we should be asking ourselves:

How well do I understand my organisations investment portfolio? How well do I understand the risks? And the level of reserves needed in a volatile market?

Kej Somaia, understands the challenges we face and can help answer these questions in our September Keynote Event Beyond the market noise: understanding investment risks for NFPs. 

The session will cover an approach to investment that touches on:

• Governance & philosophy 
• Understanding capital markets
• Whether to be strategic or dynamic with your asset allocation
• How to construct a balanced portfolio 
• Investment risk: how to measure and manage it
• Responsible investment 

Join us for this one hour session to better understand the risks and rewards of your investment portfolio, and manage your funds in a sustainable, future-focused way.
