Circuit tru5tees' investment polio/ is aligned ,[th that of the Ceatral Fin&nce Board :'CF31 and th- TlknfjCP because these orgonisations take into consideration the social. environmental aiid ethical ton5ider3iions, both negatively and positively. that make investments suitable for +he Methodist Church. There are no benchmarks for the expected returns or appreciation on iniiostment9 at CFB and TIIACP. It IS the Circuit's policy to manage the cash ar,d investmeiit fe50urces of the Circuii $0 that a rate of return on investment- both by way of dividend and capital 3ppreciation- is obtained at least as good as mèrket rate considering the Circuit's Sow appetite for risk. Investimunts are currently spread between the CFB Managed Equity Fund, the CFB Managed Mixed Fund and ihe CFB Deposit Fund. A donation had heen made toviards The Connection Pension Fund of £18,750. The Connexion have noiiv said they no longer need the money, and this money plus that given by South Cliff N4ethodist Church Inovi closedl has been returned to the Circuit.
