What are the Benefits of Non-Profit Investment Strategy? 

In this ever-changing environment, non-profit organizations need to be clear on how to meet objectives and how to manage through the economic, regulatory, demographic and geopolitical events which bring new challenges and opportunities. Non-profit investment consultants help clients navigate uncertainties and manage risk — all toward the goal of improving the likelihood of meeting objectives through aligned portfolio results.

How Aon Can Help

  • Investment Advisory Consulting

    Our teams collaborate with non-profit organizations to provide a broad range of services, including guidance on governance best practices, asset allocation, investment strategy, manager selection across strategies, including private capital and alternatives, responsible investing and diverse manager initiatives.

  • Outsourced Chief Investment Officer

    Investment services to suit the level of engagement that’s right for you. Aon provides a flexible outsourced chief investment officer (OCIO) solution — from traditional investment advisory consulting to partial delegation to an OCIO. Our platform is an open architecture, providing more customized solutions for clients.

  • Alternatives Investments

    By first understanding your unique portfolio objectives and composition, hedge fund allocation goals, liquidity needs and complexity tolerance, we uncover opportunities across alternatives, including private equity, private debt and hedge funds.

  • Operational Due Diligence

    Aon’s proprietary solution, ODD IQ, comprehensively reviews how an asset management firm is run. ODD IQ* helps investors identify and quantify operational risks to make informed, consistent decisions, enhancing their qualitative evaluations.
