The resutt of this Periodic Review of Fund Managers was considored a risk-reducing measure. Stakes held in both funds remain proportionate to original and subsequent inveslmenls. All Household Cavalry charitable investment portfdios are now divided between Cazenove Capital Management and Wavortrm Investment Management.

This prioritisation underpins the support for all members of the Household Cavalry °family' that the charity offers lo our operational casualties, our serving soldiers, our veterans and their dependents bul also, when applicable, lo our heritage and the welfare of our retired horses. Our risk managomenl framework encourag$s smaller 18rgeted fundraising events which do not involve significant up-front capital outlay or any exira work for our already busy soldiers. ACTIVITIES AND PUBLIC BENEFIT Th@ charty provides public benefrt by the provision of welfarg grants and donations that help Regimental personnel both past and present, as well as their dependanls. who are in need, hardship or distress.

The perfomiance of the portfolios and the chaTity's investment strategy are reviewed by the Iru¥tee5 whose representatives meet wf(h the investment managers every six months. Included wi(hin investments are monies advanced lo the charty by the Household Cavalry and its associated funds. Income and gain8 lor losses) accruing from these monie8 are added lor deductedl from the$e funds and the* balances dug are refflerted within the creditor figures In the attachod financial statements. R6sorves policy 11 is the Iruslees, intention to build up sufficient reservgs within the charty. through fundraL8ing infiiatwes and ietums on investments, in order lo mgel liabilf(ies as they fall due and to enable the continued ¢Jevebpment of the charty's objectwes to support the Household Cavalry. The charty generates inGome largely through fundraising and investments and. therefore, it is subject to fluduation from yeaT to year. As a resutt, the Foundation has a Reserves, policy that no less than six months of costs are typically lo be hèld as a cash reserve, to provide protection against such fluctuations and enable il to ntIfiUe operating in all circumslan¢g$ and following all eventualities, inclutjing any SignifinI unexpected fall in income. At limes it may hokl signfficantly more cash if there are known future commitments and if there is a wider concern about prevailing market condiiions. It is lo be noted that the cash Tgs&rve Is also influenced by the special costs of the future Standards, Parade. The reserves policy is, and will continue lo be, reviewed annually by the trustees. The total value of free reserves at 31 March 2023 of £1,879,921 12022 - £1,962,562) is in excess of thls policy al the current time. The ITUStees are conscious of the fact that income generation in the current climate is drfflcu, yo1 tho need for the charty's support remains as high as ever. Therefore, for the lime being the trustees consider the charty's free reserves to be adequate but not excessNe and at a level appropriate lo cover the charity's commitments and guard against any reasonably foreseeable downtum in income.
