Look out for these in-depth surveys published in selected issues of the magazine:

• The top audit firms serving the sector and their fee revenue

Charity Fund Management Survey
Charity Finance's Fund Management Survey provides an in-depth insight into in the investment firms serving the sector, as well as the latest trends in fund management. Using data provided by all of the major firms, it reveals:

Charity Pooled Funds Survey
Most charities do not have sufficient funds to invest on a segregated basis, making pooled funds their gateway into the markets. However, even larger investors these days recognise that pooled funds offer an easy means for diversification and cost-efficiency. Even segregated investors may find that their managers have stationed large portions of their portfolio in pooled funds.This survey canvasses fund managers' views on:
• The merits of pooled versus segregated investment
• The merits of charity-specific pooled funds compared to those on the wider market
• Risk and return characteristics of pooled funds
