Partners will have made their programmes longer and more intensive to deliver the support young people needed to achieve outcomes, with a focus on quality rather than volume.

The report found that young people from disadvantaged backgrounds with low levels of qualification and with special
educational needs or disabililies are almost three times as likely to be NEET. We launched the report on BBC Radio 4,5 Today programme and with exclusive coverage in the Financial Times. Over 100 people attended the launch event in Westminster, with the Minister for Employment speaking about how important young people's prospects are to Government and quoting our research. Plans for Future Perlods Through our work we are taking on some of the most pressing issues facing young people today.

Financial Review Flnancial results Im etus rou Our income for the year ended March 2025 stood at £24.1m Compared with £22.2m in 2024, the change reflecting a £1.7m increase in donalions, grant and fundraising income across the group, as well as a £0.2m decrease in investment Income. Totsl group funds as of 31 March 2025 were £131.6m (2024.. £158.6m). The main change to the balance sheel was a decrease in group cash balances by £3.Om to £9.9m and a decrease in investments to £127.5m from £150.8m, Teflecting the spend-down nature of the Youth Endowment Fund. et excludin the Youth Endowment Fun Our total income (including pro bono) in 2024-25 increased to £12.6m (2024.. £11.5m). Within this, we've seen a healthy increase in philanthropic income (excludes pro bono income) from £8.4m in 23124 to £9.6m in 24125, reflecting growing support for our work. Grants and donations to Impetus increased by £1.2m to £7.8m. with investment and fundraising income increasing by £0.3m. The value our pro bono experts contributed, in the forrn of donated seNices, was £2.Sm over the past year compared to £2.9m in 2024. Despite this decrease in pro bono income, which was due to a a few delayed projects as well as prior year having a very large strategically, and financially, valuable project, pro bono contributions remain a significant part of our value add to our portfolio. alongside grants and investment team time. Overall, Impetus continues to receive generous financial support from key main sources.. individual donations, corporate sponsors, grant-making trusts and foundations. Our expenditure increased from £11.8m in 2024 to £13.Om, reflecting ihe fact that we continued lo invest in our people, infrastruclure and the number of portfolio partners we support. We were able to increase our granl spend to portfolio partners from £4.6m to £5.7m which includes co-inveslment. grants, demonslrating our commitment lo backing more impacfful organisalions. Staff costs have risen slightly, reflecting investment in our team to support this growth. owm We received a £200m grant from the Home Office in April 2019 which is to be spent over ten years to 2029. The grant was included in full in the income for 2019. Investments from the fund returned a net gain of £6.1m (including income and market value gain) in the 12 monlhs to 31 March 2025. Additional grant income received during the period lotalled £6.5m. Expenditure in the 12 months to 31 March 2025 totalled £39.4m, of which £26.4m was on grants to interventions with a further £3.1m spend on activities undertaken directly. Of the grant, £128m remained invested with Goldman Sachs and remained the largest component of the balance sheet at the year end. The restricted fund at the year-end amounted to £123.7m (£123.3m for the Home Office grant and £0.4m from other grants received). Reserves etus excludin the Youth Endowment Fund Impetus has heaRhy unrestricted reserves and a strong cash position at the balance sheet date. Our reserves policy, as initially approved by the Board in March 2014, entails..
Minimum unrestricted funds being set as six months operating costs and the cash cost of any office lease commitment up until the break; and Unrestricted funds not being designated by the Trustees. Rather, a narrative is used to explain how unrestricted funds would be used against ongoing grant agreements and planned new investments. Our unrestricted funds were £7.4m as at 31 March 2025. The minimum level of unrestricted reserves to comply with our reserves policy is £3.2m, but an additional £3.5m is eannarked for paying grants to portfolio partners that are authorised but not accrued as expenditure, essentially leaving "free reserves" al £0,7m. The total value of grants to portfolio partners that are authorised but not accrued as expenditure at 31 March 2025 was £3.Sm12024.. £4.2m)', a decrease as portfolio partners graduated, and two exited the portfolio during the year. These grants only become an obligation to Impetus if the partners achieve specific milestones. The £3.Sm relates to the current portfolio partners and excludes any amounts in respect of new investees or next phase investments yet to be approved by the Investment Committee. If all current grant agreements progress as planned, then the granls made in 2025-26 will be £2.7m. Our level of reserves is such that we can reduce them over the next few years {though remaining above the minimum level) as we continue to support more organisalions, including through grants and funds. for a significant period in their journey to scaling impact. In the longer-term. we will need to raise additional funds to fulfil our commitments and the strategy agreed by the Board in June 2024 is designed to increase our sustsinability. In addition lo the unrestricted funds described above, Impetus had reslricled funds totalling £0.4m at 31 March 2025. These are held for the purposes shown in note 16 to the financial statements. Youth Endowment Fun The Impelus Board, as sole Trustee, agreed a policy of holding minimum restricted funds in respect of the Home Office funded work equal to six months. operating expenditure. The receipt of the Home Office grant at the outsel of our work means that this policy is comfortably met. Going concern We consider that we have adequate financial reserves to continue to deliver our plans and that we have a reasonable expectation that we will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and that there are no malerial uncertaintie5 that call into doubt the charity's ability to continue. Investment pollcy, objectives and perfomiance of The Youth Endowment Fund The grant from the Home Office was invested and has been managed by Goldman Sachs who were appointed after a competitive selects'on process. The investment objective is to achieve an average nominal retum of 2¥9 per annum, net of management fees, over the lrfe of the fund. As at the 31 March 2025, the portfolio totalled £128m, comprising £86m in fixed income 12
securities and £42m in cash. Following a 2024 de-riskin9 exercise. the portfolio was restructured into sub-portfolios.. Liquidity sub-portfolio - comprising cash and cash equivalents. Mid-term sub-portfolio- comprising investment-grade government and corporate bonds. To mitigate currency risk. cash and cash equivalent investments are restricted to sterling instruments, and all bond investments are issued in sterling. Fixed income maturities are actively managed to align with projected operating cash flow requirements, thereby ensuring sufficient liquidity lo fund planned grant disbursements and partner management costs throughout the lrfe of the YEF. The fund managers are fequired to integrate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations into the investment process and to engage with inveslee companies lo improve ESG practices and policies. In line with the fund's social objectives, the Trustees have prohibited direct or indirect investment in companies whose primary activities include lobacco or alcohol manufacturing, armaments or controversial weapons, gambling, adult entertainment, or high-intefesl-rale lending. As the fund approaches the end of its life, the investment strategy has prioritised de-risking and ensuring that future commitments are appropriately cash matched The Investrnent Committee, in consultation with the fund managers, has reviewed the portfolio and is satisfied that the strategy remains prudent and continues lo protect the charity's assets.

Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consislently., Obsenie the methods and principles in the Charities SORP- Make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent., State whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements., Prepare the financial statements on the going concem basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that Ihe financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and the group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Independent auditor's report to the Trustees of Impetus- The Private Equity Foundation Opinion We have audited the financial statements of Impetus - The Private Equity Foundation for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the Consolidated Slatement of Financial Activities, the Charity Statement of Financial Activities, the Consolidated and Charity Balance Slieets. the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including 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 the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). In our opinion, the financial statements.. Give a true and fair view of the State of the group's and of th8 parent charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2025 and of the group's and parent charitable company's net movement in funds, including the income and expenditure, for the year then ended., Have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice., and Have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) IISAS (UK)) and applir2ble law. Our responsibililies 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 group 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 basis for our opinion. Concluslons relatlng to golng concern In auditin9 the financial Statements, we have concluded that the Trustees, use of the going ncern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial slatements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating lo events or conditions that, individually or collectively. may cast significant doubt on the group's ability lo continue as a going concern for a period of at least Iwelve months frorn 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 seclions of this report. other inforniation The Trustees are responsible for the other infomiation. The other infomiation comprises the information included in the Trustees, Report. Our opinion or) the financial statements does not cover the other infomation and. except lo 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 incon5iStent wrth the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otheThvise appears to 19
be materially misstated. If we identrfy 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 perfomied, 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. Opinlons on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit.. The information given in the Trustees, Report (which includes the directors. report and strategic report prepared for Ihe purposes of company law) for the financial year for which the fi'nancial ststements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements., and The strategic report and directors. report included within the Trustees, Report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requiremenls. Matters on which we are required to report by exception In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and the parent eharrtable company and its environmenl obtained in the course of the audil, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees, Report (which incorporates the directors, report and strategic reporti. We have nolhing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 qUireS us to report to you if, in our opinion.. Adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent charitable company,. or The parent charitable company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and retums., Of Certain disclosures of trustees, remuneration specified by law are not made.. or We have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. Responslbllltles of trustees for the flnanclal statements As explained more fully in the Trustees, responsibilities statement set out on page 17 the Trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they 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 stalements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the group's and the parent charitable company's ability lo conlinue as a going concern. disclosing, as applicable, matters related lo going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidale the group or the parent charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but lo do so. Auditor's responslbilities for the audlt of the financial ststements 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 a55uran¢e 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 misslatemenl when it exists. Misslalements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial stslements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instan$ of non-compliance with laws and regulations. INe design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, lo detect material misstatements in respect of irregulanties. including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below. Based on our understanding of the group and the environment in which it operates, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to trust law requirements relate to the use of restricted funds. charity law and GDPR. and we considered the extent to which nonvcompliance might have a material effect ort the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011, and payroll tax. Vve evaluated management's incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls) and determined that the principal risks were related to recognition of voluntary income. Audil procedures performed by the engagement team included.. Inspecting Corresponden with regulators and tax authorities., Discussions with management including consideration of known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulation and fraud., Evaluatin9 management's controls designed to prevent and detect irregularities: Identifyin9 and testing joumals, in particular journal entries posted with unusual descriptions and entries posted al unusual times., and Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in their critical accounting estimates. Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance wilh regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rdther than error. as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at.. )Mww.frc.org.uklauditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report. 21
