At Bedrock, we remain committed to engaging in philanthropic activities that help enrich the lives of others. Using the UN’s sustainable development goals (SDGs) as a framework to focus our philanthropic mission, the initiatives we support are aimed at “ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all” (SDG 4).
Most recently, combining our philanthropic activity with our expertise and focus on the latest private tech investments, we supported the London School of Economics and Political Sciences (LSE), Student Union Israel Society, with an educational trip to visit the global tech hub, Israel.
LSE wished for the students to experience the entrepreneurial spirit of the rising ‘Start-Up’ Nation, and gain exposure to the large array of cultures that call it home. Bringing together a melting-pot of individuals, aged between 18 to 32, from 25 countries, 19 different LSE programs, both master’s and undergraduates, the diverse range of students discovered the contrast between “the old and the new“, between modern Tel Aviv and authentic Jerusalem; between the modern start-up and scientific environment, and the forever lasting spiritual and historical senses of the country.
Students visited a variety of leading Israeli-founded companies and institutions, from the likes of cyber security company, CheckPoint, The Israeli-Arab Tech Hub, and Space Pharma, a company executing experiments in microgravity.
As a result of the trip, many students expressed an interest in returning to Israel, both to initiate business collaborative journeys, and also to further their historical knowledge of the country.
It was a pleasure to support such a memorable and rich educational experience for the LSE students. We look forward to supporting more educational endeavors in the future wherever in the world they may take us!

This month we look at sharp US tech rotation, strong gains in Japan and key emerging markets, renewed demand for sovereign bonds, and rising geopolitical tensions that reinforce the need for broader global diversification.
At the start of 2026, we continue to see a range of opportunities offering attractive value across certain focused parts of the corporate bond market. In this article, Bedrock’s Head of Fixed Income, Alex Perowne, outlines the five sectors we see as having notable value in the current environment.
Recent reports show that in 2025, families of significant means contributed $207 billion to philanthropic causes, accounting for 36% of all individual giving worldwide. This growth reflects not just increased generosity, but a shift toward more structured and disciplined approaches to giving, as families increasingly professionalise their philanthropic activity. To explore this evolving landscape, we spoke with Jo Shropshire, co-founder of Benesys, a leading philanthropic advisory firm.
