The Charity's investment policy seeks to protect
the real terms value of its endowment - valued at around £380
million as of 31 March 2011. This is held in property, equity
investment, hedge funds and cash. Each year approximately four per
cent of the endowment is released on a smoothed basis to invest in
charitable activities (a mix of transfer of capital and investment
income).
We also invest in health related innovations which have the
potential to generate a return on investment. These 'mission
related' commercial investments and related income are managed
through GSTC Health Innovations Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of
Guy's and St Thomas' Charity. You can read about the achievements
of our commercial investments here.
