Knowledge Management Platform

This report represents the fourth in a series of studies covering the financial performance of Conservation Trust Funds during the five-year period from 2006 through 2010.

Conservation Trust Funds invest capital through various financial mechanisms, such as endowments and sinking funds, to provide long-term financing for conservation and sustainable development projects. To date, over 50 Conservation Trust Funds (CTFs) have been established throughout the world, many of them fairly new. The 31 established trust funds participating in this year’s study manage over $500 million dollars.

The main objective of this study is to report on the performance of present the investment strategies and structures implemented by participating Conservation Trust Funds. A secondary objective is to explore the expanding roles of CTFs in managing and protecting biodiversity in their countries.

This project was conceived as a mechanism to provide information on fund management and to compare endowment investment strategies and performance over time. Our hope is that this study will promote information sharing and networking regarding best practices for investment management, especially for those funds that are just beginning to establish their structures and policies. This report will also provide the investment, donor, and conservation communities with an assessment of the continuing efficacy and reliability of Conservation Trust Funds (CTFs) as a mechanism to achieve long term sustainable financing of biodiversity.
