CCLA can trace its roots to 1958 with the launch of The Church of England Investment Fund, which allowed church organisations to pool their funds and enjoy efficient access to professional fund management services.
As the guardians, not the owners, of assets that we manage, we seek to ensure our portfolios are aligned with the Church of England’s objectives, values, and beliefs.
The Central Board of Finance (CBF) Church of England Funds is one of the National Investing Bodies within the Church of England and works closely with the Church of England’s Ethical Investment Advisory Group (EIAG). The EIAG gives ethical advice which forms the basis of the policies that are put into practice in the management of the CBF Funds.
