Principydl Risks And Uncer¢ain¢ies
The Trustee has examined the major risks faced by th¢ Foundation. including administraiive, investment
related, regulatory, conflici of inierest. financial controls and other issues. Systems aTe in place to regularly
monitor 8nd control ihese risks and to mitigate any impa¢1 th¢y may hg4ve on the Foundation.
The main market risk to the Foundation comes from fixed asset investments. The risk lies in the combination
of uncertain investTn¢nt mark¢ts and volatiliiy in yield. The Foundation manages these investment risks by
retaining expert advi50TS and operating an investment policy that provides for a high degree of diversification
of holdings within investment classe5. Credit risk on cash balances 15 mitigated by holding cash at
mainstream financial instiiutions with strong credit ratings and in high grade money markei funds.
The Trustee considers th¢ following risk factors for each proposed investmeni as well as the impact of a
panicular investment 5¢1ection on th¢ overall portfolio risk return profile..
a) market risk.. equiry - bets of investment to equity markets, volatility, drawdown risk
b) market risk.. rate5- sensitivity of investment io moves in interest rates
¢) market risk.. credii - sensiiivity of investment to moves in credit spreads
d} capital risk.. counterpaty risk, default risk or risk of total investment failure
e) concentration risk.. tsveTexp05ure io parti¢ular sector or investment type
currency risk.. with respeci io unintended cU￿encY exposures
8) liquidity risk.. considered both in nomial and stressed market circumstance5
In order to manage the risk profile of the portfolio and its constituent parts, the Trustee maintains a heat map
that is monitored on an ongoing basis.
Financial markets face several uncertainties in particular with respect to the rnacro-economi¢ impact of
uncertain trade policies and Various sources of geo-politl¢81 risks. The Trustee anticipates an elevated level
of volaiility in light of these uncertain investment ¢ondition5, however, believes that the adopted Investment
Policy Serves to mitigate th¢% risk5.
Public Benefit
The TTU5tee has had due regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit when exercising any
powers or dutl¢S to which the guidance is relevant. Each grant is made in fvrthEr2nce of a charitable purpose
that offer5 an identifiable benefit to the public in 8eneral or a sufficient section of the public, and any private
benefit that may accru¢ to any person or entity as a result of a grant is incidental. The Trustee will consider
wh¢ther any ham or detrin)ent could arise from any grant and not make the grant if any such ham) or
detriment could outweigh the public benefit. The Trustee considers that the detail in this report about the
Foundation'5 grants and its purposes sufficiently identifies the benefit and beneficiaries of the Foundation's
grant5, in such a way a5 to demonstrate the Foundation's benefit to the wider public.

the main contaeis for panner organisations. In addition to handling the grant cycles, a key function of theirs
is to be activ¢ participants in respective sectors and io create network el'fects among partner organisations.
The Foundation is not operating a scheduled applicaiion process, rather searches for new partnerships
through its variou5 contact points in respective 5¢¢t(Trrs.
Grants are made and monitored in aecordance with the Grant Making Policy and other procedures adopted
by the Tjustee. The Tru5tcc hAs delegated auihority to th¢ Signaiur and LACT Boards io make grants and
approve their ierms and conditions. The delegated authority is subject to cenain limitations, conditions and
thresholds and is reviewed annually by the Trusiee. Project5 are selected on the basi5 that they are specific

Financial Review
Incomirtg resources of the Foundation comprised donations, inve5tm¢nt and interest income. The
Foundation received substantial contributions in the forni of expendable ¢ndowmenl in 2017, 2018, 2023,
2024 and 2025. The grants provide that the Trustee shall apply the income derived from the expendable
endowment io such pujposes within its charitable objects as it may detemiine and may, at its discrction,
decide ih8t all or any part of it may be expended on such purposes. However, despite the fact that the whole
of the exp¢ndable endowment may be expended by the Trustee. it was the Settlor's wish that it be inv¢5t¢d
to produ¢e in¢ome on a lon8-temi basis for charitable expenditure for the publi¢ ben¢fii.
The Foundation's resources and capabilities have evolved since its fom)ation including r¢crnitment of
Finance team comprising the Finance Director and, in early 2025, a Finance Manager. In the financial year
the Foundation received a si8nifJcant grant increasing investable assets by approximately 36Q/o. This
evolution ha5 necessitated a ¢ontinued focus on the investment strategy of the Foundation.
Following the fomiation of the Foundation, the Trust¢¢ appointed a single investment manager to manage
the investmcnt portfolio of the expendable endowm¢nt, Goldman Sachs International. With the receipt of
additional funds in 2023, the kn￿stee considered it prudent to engage a broad¢r set of investment managers
and funds in order to diversify operational and mark¢t risks and also to enable a more efficieni control of
investment management expenses related to specific a55¢t ¢la5s mandates.

Advisory mandate. Under a discretionary martdate with Partrt¢rs Capital, dir¢¢t inv¢stmeDts were made in
absolut¢ return (Partners Capital Harrier Fund IC) Ltd in August 2025), private equity (PCAAM Private
Equity Fund in August 2025) and private cr¢dit {Partners Capital Phoenix Fund 11 Ltd) in October 2025).
In addition to the Goldman Sachs dis¢r¢tionary mandates, a direct fund investment was made into private
cquity (Goldman Sachs Alternatives SICA V - G- Private ￿quity (Lux) in July 2025}. The Trnsiee has
reviewed the perfomiance of the investment portfolio and noted it achieved a retum of 3.5 /0 in 2025 (time
weighted rcturn as measured in GBP) vs the annual observation of 2.40/0 of the Investment Objective (see
Investment Policy section below for definition., 6.50/0 in 2024 vs 6.80/0). The returns of each external
mandate and directly invested fund are measured against separaiely specified benchmarks by relevAnt asset
class. At year end, assets were invested in global equity (41'/0) and fixed income markets (240/0), Cash and
money maTkets (13¢/0) as well as alternative and other investments (22 /0). wilh assets held in US dollars
(630/0), British pounds {27Q/è) and euros I IOO/D).
Total income, including donation5, for the year iotalled £47,829,264 (2024.. £101.493,537) and total

Th¢ Foundation's funds increased to £211,156,066 as at 31 December 2025 from £162.494.984 as at 31
Decemb¢r 2024, which comprises the net income before gains and losses of £44,096,012 12024..

exchange loss of £1,971,073 (2024.. gain of £2.067,735}.
Re8erve8 Polley
In adopting its Reserves Poli¢y, the Trustee has considered the level of urtrestricted income likely to arise
from the expendable endowment and its power to convert inv¢stments held in the expendable endowment
fund, if necessary, inio income.
It has also consid¢red its grant-making intentions and obligaiion5 and the impact on grantee organisation$
if any funding obligations were not io be met. For 5pe¢ifi¢ grants expected to materialise in the iinmediate
future (within th¢ next three months}, the Trustee may choose to designate a part of the unrestricted funds
to cover thos¢ wnount5 as design8ted funds. The TnJ5tee has reviewed the Foundation's operating eosts and
the risks to which the Foundation is exp05¢d, particularly with regard to its investment portfolio.
The Reserves Policy was reviewed during 2025, and taking these factors into a¢¢ount, it 15 the Trustee's
poli¢y to retain, out of the Foundation's unrestricted income, £350,000 in r¢serves which is deerned
sufficient for immediate outlays (other than those with respect to d¢signated funds, if any). This is an
increase from £250,000 in the prior year in recognition of th¢ boundation's larger expense base.
As at 31 December 2025, the Foundation has unrestricted funds of £3,607,543 {2024.' £1,685,521) and the
designated funds were £2,115,118 (2024.. £837,594). Consequently, the reserves as at 31 December 2025
amounted to £1,492,425 (2024.. £847.927).
Investment Policy
The ultimate investment obj¢¢tive of the Foundation is to enable it lo fund charitable projects in the UK and
elsewhere, where the r¢al funding value is maintained through time. Triangulating the current annual granf
budgei {£4m). size of expendable endowment (£207m) and anticipated investment income (£5.Om), it is
appropriate for the Trustee to have a long-tem investment horizon. Thi5 allows the Trustee to consider
invesiments, such as private equity, with in excess of ten years duration. However, it is an ambition of the
Trusiee that over time the annual grant budget will increase in real ternis, making it prudent for the majoriry
of the portfolio to be managed to a shorter time horizon of five years.
The Trust¢e ha5 adopted a long-tem) portfolio return objective of inflation + 3D/D {the 'lnv¢stment
Objective"), measured in equal proportions of US and UK inflation indicators and for reporting purposes
expressed in GBP. The Trustee aims to achieve its Investment Objective by reviewing, selecting and
ongoing evaluating a range of discretionary inv¢stm¢nt managers and investment funds in line with the
deierniined ass¢1 allocation. The selection 15 conducted asset class by asset class.

The I rustee is mindful of the fact that beneficiaries are located aeross many countries and the real value of

Responsibilities of the Trustee
As explained more fully in the Trnstee'5 responsibilities statement set out on page 20 the Trusttt is
responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they giv¢ a tNe and

rinancial statement5 that are free from material missiatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Trustee 15 responsible for assessing the Foundation's ability to
Continue as a going ¢on¢ern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concem and using the going
concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Foundation or to cease

Audilor's responsibilities for the audlt of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in ac¢ordance
with regulations made under section 154 of that Act.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements ar¢ free from
Tnaterial 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
23

Karlsson Jativa
Independent auditor's report (continued)
to the Trustee of The Kar15son Jativa Charitable Foundation
accordance with ISAS (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when li exisis. Misstatements can
arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they tould
reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken based on thes¢ finan¢ial
statements.
I￿egularitIes. including fraud, are instance5 of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design
procedures in line with our re5pon5ibilities, outlined above. to delect material misstatements in respect of
irregulariiies, including fraud.
Our assessment of the susceptibility of the entity's financial Sta￿ment to material misstatement, including
how fraud might occur, is ¢onsidered to be low. This conclusion was rea¢h¢d for th¢ reasons outlined below..
due to the relatively simple business model and low volume of iransactions within th¢ Trust, ther¢ are
comparatively few unexpe¢ted fluctuations in the reported results and balan¢es and any such
unexpected items would be 5p¢cifically enquired inio by us., and
there are a number of individuals who comprise "manag¢ment" and therefore, there is no single
individual who is likely to be able to ov¢rride ¢ontro15 to effect a fraud.
We ascertained the most significant legislation was the Charities Act 2011 and where Televant the Charities
A¢t 2022, money laundering legislation, health and safety and employment law. The extent ofcomplianee
with these law5 and regulations was a55essed as part of our procedures on the related financial statement
it¢m5 by..
enquiry of management to understand where there was susceptibility to fraud and whether they have
the knowledge of any actual suspected or illegal fraud.
enquiry of management to identify any instances of non.compli8nce with laws and r¢gulation$; and
onsiderdtion of the controls that the Trust has established to address risks identified. or that othetwise
prevent, deter ond dete¢t fraud, and how management monitors those control5.
W¢ designed our audit procedures to respond io identified audit risks, including non-compliance with laws
#nd regulations (l￿eSular1tieS) that are maierial to the financial statements. Some of the specific procedures
perfomied to detect irregularities, in¢luding fraud, are detailed below..
the review of control accounts and joumal entries for large, unusual or unauthorised entries,.
the analytical review of the detailed statement of financial activities for variances that are either
unexpected or ¢on5idered not to be in a¢¢ordanc¢ with our understanding of the Thisi activities during
the year;
obtaining and reviewing for completen¢ss a list of entities and persons considered to be r¢lat¢d parties
(as defined by Financial Reporting Standard 102} and reviewing the ledgers of the Trust for previously
unreported re12ted party transaction5; and
review of trdn5actions and journals for any indication of fraud, management override or bia5.
Because of the inherent limitstions of an audiL 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 with
regulation. This risk increase5 the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from th¢ events
and trdnsactions 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 irregul8ritie5 occurring due to fraud rather than em)r,
as fraud involves intentional con¢ealmenL forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the
Finan¢ial Reponing Council's webslte at https.'Ilwww.frc.org.uklauditorsrespon5ibilities. This description
fornis part of our auditor's reEx)rt.

£1,685,521 l and the designated funds W¢Te £2,115,118 {2024'. £837,594). Cons¢qu¢ntly, the reserves as at
31 December 2025 amounted to £1,492,425 (2024.. £847,927) which is in ex¢¢ss of the target, and hence the
Trustee eonsiders the going basis io r¢main appropriate.
With respe¢t ¢0 ¢he next reporting period, the most Significant area of uncertainty that affe¢ts the reserves of
the Foundation 15 the performance of investment markets which will deiemiine the earrying value of the
investments held by the Foundation. The significance of fixed asset investments to the ongoing financial
sustainability of the Foundation is considered in the financial review, principal risks and investment policy
sections of the Trustee's annual report.

1. Accounting pollcles (continuéd)
hl Invostmènt gains and Iossos
Gains and losses are realised when investments are sold.
Investments are fair valued prior to sal¢.
Unrealised gains and Ios5e5 are calculated as the differenee between the fair value at the y¢ar end and their
carrying value.
11 Tanglble flxed a88•ts
Tangible fixed assets are ststed at hisiorical cost le55 accumulated depreciation and any accurnulated
impairnient losses. Depreciation is ¢harged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over
their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. Depreciation is provided on the following
basis:
Computer equipment- 3 years straight line
Leasehold improvements- over ierni of lease
11 Provl8lon8
Provisions for grant payments to partner organisations of the Foundation are made wh¢n the intention to
make a grant has been communicated to the partner organisation but there is uncertainty about ¢i¢her the
liming of the grant or the amount of grant payable. No provisions are made for future ¢onditiOTJal instalmeThts
of multi-year grants where the payment of such instalmeni remains at the discretion of the Trustee.
kl Opgratlng lease•
Rentsls paid under operating leases are eharged to the statement of comprehensive income and retained
earnings on a stra2gh¢ line basis over the lease tem. The value of any rent free periods are amortised over
the life of the lease.
11 Key judgements and ￿tIma￿S
In applying the Foundation'5 accounting poli¢i¢$, the Trustee may be required to make judgements and
estimates that could impact the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as at the Statement of Financial
Position date and the amounts reported for rev¢nue5 and ¢xpense5 during the financial year.
The Tru$tee'5 estimate5 are based on the evidence available ai the time; including historical experience and
other factors that are considered to be applicable. Due io the inherent subjectivity involved in making such
estimates, the actual results and outcomes may ditrer. Esiimaies are reviewed on an on-going basis and
rev15ion5 to accounting estimates ar¢ recognised in the financial year in which the estimate 15 revised.
The TNsiee is not aware of any significant sour¢e$ of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the
financial statements.
Donations
Income from donation5 totalled £42.821.945 {2024'. £98,731,767), of which £5.946 (2024.. £6,645) was
