If an asset is something that has actual or potential value to an organization, then this book is an asset to you and your organization. Some of the same people who shaped ISO55000, the current international asset management standard, share their knowledge and experience in this book. The aim of this work is to create a new way of thinking about how your organization manages its assets. Traditionally, the assets themselves directed reactive decisions at all levels of an organization based on the latest data or incident. Business analysts agree that reactive asset management decisions are usually not financially optimized. The simple translation is that there is tremendous opportunity for meeting the triple bottom line of financial opportunity, environmental sustainability and social responsibility through asset management. The asset management approaches expressed in the New Asset Management Handbook are designed to connect top management to the physical asset base using a concept called line of sight. Asset management frameworks require that value and acceptable risk be defined and understood at all levels of the organization. This provides the alignment in decision-making at all levels of the organization to deliver value from assets at an acceptable risk level.The revised edition of this handbook has divided the text into topic sections so the reader has a clearer understanding and focus. The sections are: Introduction, Line of Sight (alignment), Derived Value and Financial Impact, Asset Management Enablers,and Case Study

There is a profound linkage between the quality of a university and its financial resources. The universities of Oxford and Cambridge rank among the world's finest educational institutions, and are able to draw on invested assets that are large by any standards. Endowment Asset Management explores how the colleges that comprise these two great universities make their investment decisions.Oxford and Cambridge are collegiate institutions, each consisting of a federal university and over 30 constituent colleges. While the colleges may have ostensibly similar missions, they are governed independently. Since they interpret their investment objectives differently, this gives rise to some remarkably dissimilar approaches to investment, which the authors explore in detail.The first study of its kind, Endowment Asset Management analyses the objectives, investment philosophy, asset management and governance of over 60 college and university endowment funds. Drawing on exhaustive research and detailed discussions with Oxford and Cambridge investment bursars, the authors investigate issues such as asset allocation and spending policy, which have a major influence on the institutions' financial health. This study reveals the colleges' individualism and diversity, and carefully analyses their strategies, which range from the traditional to cutting edge.The authors' findings are thought provoking for anyone concerned with the assets of foundations, endowments, charities, family offices, or trusts. All investors with a long-term investment horizon will find it extremely engaging.
