Our Company
To Tatou Korero
At Trust Investments, we exist to help charities and for-purpose organisations thrive. We do this by taking care of the things that can otherwise get in the way of impact, property management, financial accounting, and funds management, so our clients can stay focused on delivering their mission.
For more than 24 years, we’ve partnered with hundreds of organisations across Aotearoa, building long-term relationships based on trust, understanding, and shared purpose. Our role is to provide practical expertise, tailored solutions, and sound financial stewardship that give our clients confidence and clarity in their operations.
As a registered charity ourselves, we understand both the opportunities and pressures of the sector. That’s why we’re committed to strengthening the foundations of our clients’ work, so they can achieve more for the people and communities they serve.
Me mahi tahi tātou mōte oranga o te katoa
We should work together for the wellbeing of all.
