TRUSTEES. REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS. REPORT) (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
Investrnent Pollcy and Parfornianco
In last year's Accounts, it was reported that, following the decision by the Investrnent Committee on 14th
February 2022 (which was later ratified by the Board) that our non-property investments should be placed under
the managenient of Quilter Cheviot Investment Management (QCIM). the existing investments (in the form of
two Ederrtree Amity Funds and two M&G Funds) were then sold in July and August 2022 with the proceeds
handed to QCIM.
In the course of setting up a new account with QCIM. the Investment Commitiee agreed a "Statement of
IrNeslrnent Policy" which was essentially a5 follows:_
that QCIM should be authorised to aim for optimum "Total Retum" (meaning that the proportions of
investment growth and revinvested income would be of no consequence). and
that QCIM should manage the portfolio on the basis that PCNH has a medium tolerance for investment
risk. and also work on the basis that the charity has a moderate abilty to bear investment losses during
periods of volatilty and market weakness, and
that investment i￿ome should be transferred to the capital account for rfrinvestmerrt, and
that QCIM should be free to invest for the longer (indefinite) tiM&l￿ri10n.
The investment director at QCIM who is responsible for managing PCNH'S investments is Ms Poppy Fox and
the Investment Committee had its first annual review meeting with her on 6th September 2023 (when the value
of the portfolio was stsnding at £787.182) and, after the meeting. the Investrnent Committee agreed that it was
satisfied that she was {1) operating within our mandate. and (li) obtaining a respectable investment perfomiance.
(It was then up 2.9% in the year to date)
The total fvnds under QCIM'S management as at 31 December 2022 stood at £765,088 and a year later on 31
Decetnbei 2023, Ihis value had increased lo £830.455 aftei all fees - i.e. 8.5'A 4JP during the year as against a
3.6% rise in the FTSE100 Index over the same period. (No additional funds were placed under QCIM'S
management and nor were any funds withdrawn during the period).
Financial review
In 2023. there was an operating deficit of £97.742 (2022.. £265,571) and an overall surplus of £46,938
(2022.. deficit £40,377) leading to an increase in the total reserves held. The income received from
residents rose by 12.70k {2022.' 7.2%) with average o¢¢upancy of 27.5 residents12022. 28.5).
Reserves Pollcy
The financial policy of the charity Is to continue to hold reserve funds not only to cover the maintenance and
renewal of the buildings and equipment of the charity but also lo ensure a strong balance sheet to mitigate the
impact of any weakness in the market during the current and continuing recessionary period. It is considered
politic and sound management to ensure that reserves do not fall below £800.000 in order to meet many
months expenditure and Wential repairs to the property.
Total unrestricted funds were £2,995.199 (2022: £2.948.262) and after taking acc<)unt of £1.933,900 {2022:
£1,996.063) tied up in tangible fixed assets and investment property. uncommitted reserves at the year end
were £1.061,299 (2022: £952,199).

The Trustee Directors and Management team will endeavour to sustain occupancy levels. A major consideration
and concern continues to be recwitment of both nursing and caring staff. This is greatty exacerbated by PCNH'S
geographical location which is comparatively Isolated. The Budget for 2024 is based therefore upon an
occupancy level of 28.

under the leadership of the Home Manager. together with a Trustee and Experia with vthom we have w￿rked
over a period of many years.
