Structure, governance and management

Governing document

The charity is a trust set up under the terms of the will of Clifford Bernard Brodie who died on 1 August 1997. Its registration as a charity was confirmed by the Charity Commission on 20 January 1999.

Appointment and training of trustees

The power of appointing new trustees rests with the existing trustees who will meet with the appointee and ensure that he understands his duties and responsibilities and the contribution he will be expected to make to aid the achievement of the charity’s objectives.

Organisational structure

Day to day administration is carried out by Muras Baker Jones. Day to day decisions are taken by any two of the three trustees, this as one of the trustees, Ian B Brodie, is resident in Canada. Major decisions, including in particular those regarding distributions to be made by the charity, are taken at annual meetings of all three trustees.

Related parties

Services are provided to the charity by fbc Manby Bowdler LLP, a firm in which Andrew Vernon, a trustee, is a partner. The services are charged for on a normal commercial basis.

Risk management

A schedule showing areas of potential risk has been prepared. It is updated at each annual trustees’ meeting and a review is carried out to ensure as far as possible that procedures are being followed to minimise risk in the areas identified, the principal risk being vulnerability in investment returns. This is mitigated by recruiting expert investment managers and having a diversified investment portfolio.

Objectives and activities

The will directs that, for a period of eighty years from the death of Clifford Bernard Brodie, the income of the charity shall be divided between Compton Hospice, now known as Compton Care, Wolverhampton and The British Heart Foundation, with the trustees having absolute discretion as to the share of income payable to each. In carrying out their duties for the year the trustees kept in mind the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and have confirmed that the activities of those two charities are carried on for the benefit of the general public without discrimination.

At the end of the eighty year period the charity’s funds are to be divided between such charities as the trustees think fit.

Investments

It has been the Trustees policy to invest primarily for income but with the portfolio including some investments that are planned to produce capital growth in order to protect future income and capital funds against the effects of inflation. However, on advice from our investment advisor there was a temporary change in policy to invest only for capital growth in order to maintain the fund of the Trust in the short term. This policy was kept under review and a decision was taken in November 2021 to revert to the previous policy.

Distributions

The trustees’ policy is to make full distribution of the income arising after deducting administration costs to Compton Care and The British Heart Foundation. Any part of that income which relates to income tax recoverable is not, however, to be distributed until refund has been received from HM Revenue & Customs. In exercising their discretion as to the division of the distributions, the Trustees request and consider submissions from the two charities including their accounts.

Achievement and performance

The level of income generated for distribution as detailed in the financial review which follows is considered to be satisfactory as is the capital growth shown.

The policy stated above for distributions to Compton Care and The British Heart Foundation has been followed.

Financial review

The investment portfolio, under management of Mattioli Woods plc is held under Transact Nominees Ltd and as at 5 April 2024 the portfolio was valued at £1,210,490.

The portfolio is sub-divided into two accounts: -

General Investment Account No.1 (£1,199,699) invested into the MWFP Cautious Income Portfolio model. The portfolio model’s total return (including income) over one year to 5 April 2024 was 6.73% against a benchmark of 6.93%.

General Investment Account No.2 (£10,791) invested into Co-Operative Bank Final Repayment Subordinated Notes 11% and delivered a capital return of 10.36%. This stock has no benchmark for performance comparison purposes.

Income was distributed to the Trust’s bank account totalling £56,663 via the quarterly income sweep in May, August, November 2023, and February 2024. This represented a net yield of around 4.68%.

The asset allocation of the portfolio at 5 April 2024 was:

18% UK Equities 23% International Equities 4% UK Fixed Interests 37% International Fixed Interests

12% Alternative Investment Strategies

6% Cash

This asset allocation is in line with an overall ‘cautious’ risk profile and in accordance with the Trustees’ risk parameters and investment objective.

Economic Commentary:

Following a tepid start to the year, the continued resilience of the US economy and cooling inflation put a spring in the step of equity markets over February. Most equity markets made gains over the month, with Asia Pacific equities leading the way. The outperformance of emerging markets bucks the prevailing trend for the past 18 months and was driven by a Chinese rebound. The rally appears to have been based on investor sentiment as data from the region continues to paint a more mixed outlook. In developed markets, the US and Japan were the strongest areas, with the former driven by the seemingly relentless enthusiasm for mega cap technology companies, and the latter reaching a new all-time high for the first time in over 30 years. UK equities were the clear laggard, with smaller companies faring slightly worse than their larger peers. In fixed income, yields were generally higher, meaning prices fell, as investors pushed out the timeframe for central banks to cut interest rates.

THE BRODIE CHARITABLE TRUST

TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT - continued

year ended 5 April 2024

There is little change in the narrative that the US economy remains robust. Against a backdrop of a strong labour market and inflation potentially easing on a shallower trajectory, it is no surprise to see rate cut expectations shifting towards ‘higher for a bit longer’. European equities have lagged US peers over the past year due to the slower pick up in earning expectations but look poised to continue playing catch up as growth for the region has been revised marginally higher. Although this was driven primarily by a better external outlook, domestic demand is also expected to recover, as falling inflation and interest rates later in the year should support a recovery in household spending. Elsewhere, the Japanese stock market continues to ride high on the back of corporate governance reforms, a weaker yen, earnings improvement, and strong foreign investor interest, with the Nikkei 225 reaching its highest level in 37 years in February. This is despite a weaker than expected fourth quarter GDP, which put the country into technical recession over the second half of 2023. It is notable that across most equity markets, the largest firms are increasingly outperforming their peers. We expect this to continue over the short term, as large cap quality companies with defensive characteristics are more likely to outperform during periods of uncertainty.

UK markets underperformed peers over February following news that the economy fell into a technical recession in the second half of 2023. This was compounded by a flurry of disappointing earnings data from UK companies, which led analysts to downgrade estimates for 2024 profit growth; albeit the expected figure is still positive at 4.7%. The UK economy is likely to see a recovery through 2024, but we expect it to be at a slower pace largely owing to more sticky inflation and structural supply problems. Preelection fiscal giveaways could help lift growth at the margin but will also contribute to inflationary pressures that could limit interest rate cuts this year and next. Despite the somewhat glib outlook for the domestic economy, the UK stock market remains attractive to investors searching for world class companies at cheap valuations.

Chinese equity markets had hit five-year lows coming into the month; however, stronger activity data over the Lunar New Year holiday period and supportive measures from the Chinese government, including curbs on short selling and stock purchases by state-owned investment firms, sparked investor interest. This change to the near-term outlook for China led to a rally across Asia Pacific markets. We do, however, remain cautious on Chinese equities, given that planned fiscal stimulus remains relatively small. We maintain a measured position, relative to risk appetite, in broad EM and Asia Pacific equities as we expect stronger growth in developed markets, in particular the US, to have some positive spill over to emerging markets. We also acknowledge the potential for areas like Mexico, Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia to benefit from supply chains relocating out of China.

February was a poor month for most sovereign bonds, as investors further reduced expectations for central bank interest rate cuts over 2024. January inflation numbers were stronger than anticipated in the US, with headline inflation at 3.1% year-on-year. Markets are now forecasting three quarter-point cuts from the Fed by the end of 2024 to lower the benchmark rate to 4.6%, with the first move expected no sooner than June. In the UK, wage growth fell less than expected in December, prompting investors to scale back their rate cut forecasts for the Bank of England, given stronger wage pressures, suggesting inflation might prove stickier than anticipated. Against this backdrop, shorter-dated and higher-risk segments of the market (such as high-yield corporate credit and emerging market debt) outperformed. Although 2024 is poised to be a strong year for returns from both government and high-quality corporate debt, we expect short-term volatility in yields as market participants have become more attentive to surprises in economic data.

We believe that the weeks/months of short-term corrections and rallies are likely to continue until we see more clarity around the monetary policy outlook. We do, however, believe that the net impact in developments in macroeconomics, policy, and politics in 2024 should overall be supportive for both bond and equity markets.

THE BRODIE CHARITABLE TRUST

TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT - continued

year ended 5 April 2024

The value of the Endowment fund at the end of the year was £1,193,976 compared with a value of £1,189,608 at the end of the previous year.

Income and distributions

Net income for the year after deducting administration costs amounted to £48,607 to which was added undistributed income brought forward at 5 April 2023 of £14,513. Distributions during the year totalled £40,000 divided as to £20,000 to Compton Care and £20,000 to British Heart Foundation. Distribution of the remaining income of £23,120 is to be considered at the Annual General Meeting on 14 August 2024.

Reserves

The charity’s funds are divided between the restricted fund which represents income held for distribution and by the endowment fund. Income of the Restricted Fund is used to defray running costs of the Trust and any remaining funds are distributed to the nominated beneficiaries. The Endowment Fund is retained to generate future income and capital growth. No other reserves are, or need to be, created.

Plans for future periods

The trustees plan to continue with their objectives as stated above of providing for distributions to Compton Care and The British Heart Foundation by means of investing primarily for income but with some investments planned to produce capital growth in order to protect future income and capital funds against the effects of inflation.

Trustees’ responsibilities

Because of the relatively high capital value of the Charity and because Ian Brodie, living in Canada, is not party to day to day decisions, the trustees determined that they should not take advantage of the accounting and audit exemptions available to small charities. They have therefore resolved that

Under Charity Law applicable in England & Wales and the terms of the above resolution the trustees therefore are required to:-

. select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

. observe the methods and principles in the charities SORP;

. make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

THE BRODIE CHARITABLE TRUST

The trustees are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity which enables them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities

Auditors

A resolution for the re-appointment of Daw White Murrall as auditors is to be proposed at the forthcoming Annual Meeting.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE BRODIE CHARITABLE TRUST

We have audited the financial statements of The Brodie Charitable Trust for the year ended 5 April 2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the trustees’ annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE BRODIE CHARITABLE TRUST – continued

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement the trustees are responsible for the preparation of financial statements which give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We have been appointed as auditor under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made under section 154 of that Act.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

In planning and designing our audit tests we identify and assess the risks of material misstatement within the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. Our assessment of these risks includes consideration of the nature of the industry and sector, the control environment and the business performance along with the results of our enquiries of management about their own identification and assessment of risks and irregularities. In common with all audits under ISAs (UK), we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override. We also obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the charity operates in, focusing on provisions of those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosure in the financial statements. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context included the Charities Act, UK tax legislation and other laws and regulations identified as risk areas identified from our discussions with management.

We communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members including internal specialists, and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.

After consideration of the above risks we then carried out audit procedures including the following:

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE BRODIE CHARITABLE TRUST – continued

There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that the laws and regulations are from financial transactions the less likely it is that we would be aware on non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the trustees and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Year ended 5 April 2024

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (a) General information and basis of preparation

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) issued on 16 July 2014 (as updated through Update Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), and UK Generally Accepted Practice.

The charity has applied Update Bulletin 1 as published on 2 February 2016 and does not include a cash flow statement on the grounds that it is applying FRS 102 Section 1A.

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the financial currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £.

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.

(b) Funds

Restricted funds are funds to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by the Trust Deed. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The beneficiaries of these funds are set out in note 5.

(c) Incoming resources

Income is accounted for in the period in which it is received. Provision for recovery of income tax deducted from income at source is brought into credit in the period during which the relevant income was received.

(d) Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis and includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates:

(e) Investments

Investments are included at market value. It is the trustees’ policy to keep valuations up to date such that when investments are sold there is no gain or loss arising that relates to previous periods. As a result the Statement of Financial Activities does not distinguish between the valuation adjustments relating to sales and those relating to continued holdings as they are together treated as changes in the value of the investment portfolio throughout the period.
