"Global Partnerships deliver innovative advice and financial solutions that empower clients to make informed decisions to achieve peace of mind and ongoing security".

We understand the financial challenges faced by not-for-profit organisations. Our role is to assist boards and management committees with the appropriate selection of investment strategies to help meet future capital requirements and operating expenses incurred in the delivery of services.

Through our extensive research and work with not-for-profit organisations, we have produced a white paper. The white paper will assist boards and committees to better understand how they can manage their investments and have more time to concentrate on core business activities. Aligning the investment strategy with the long-term goals and objectives of the organisation is vital.

"(I'm) dealing with a board who are very conservative, many of whom have had limited experience in managing investment portfolios and therefore they will tend to make decisions based on their own insecurities and conservatism. They have a fairly short-term focus and are very reactive to market movements. That can be very damaging to structuring a long-term investment plan." [Executive Officer, not-for-profit organisation]

To obtain a copy of our white paper, go to our website www.gpfc.com.au and follow the links under "Our Services".

Aon is Australia's leading Insurance Broker with a long association with Not for Profit organisations. We assist with either Risk and Insurance solutions for the Association itself or creating and providing Insurance facilities for the benefit of their members.

Two of the most important insurance products tailored specifically for Not for Profit organisations are:

• Association Liability
• NFPO Public/Products Liability

Association Liability Insurance provides protection for those in the organisation that make decisions and direct the Organisation's activities. Unfortunately mistakes, or an oversight can be made by an office bearer and it can either jeopardise the existence of the organisation or even the personal finances of that individual. Why would you want to volunteer to help run an organisation knowing if you get blamed for a financial loss relating to a decision you made, you could lose your house or perhaps everything you ever worked for?

If you would like to have more information on these exposures, we have Association Liability experts in every state of Australia. Here are some main contacts:
