## OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The objectives of the Charity, as set out in its constitution, are:

- Relief of persons in need, within the definition of potential beneficiaries
The potential beneficiaries are the life members of the former Baltic Exchange Charitable Society; individuals engaged or formerly engaged in maritime activities; the spouses, civil partners, widows, widowers, issue or other dependants of the foregoing; and the employees and former employees of the Baltic Exchange.
The Charity was formed to take over the activities of the following charitable trusts:
- The Baltic Exchange Charitable Society
- The London Shipowners’ and Shipbrokers’ Benevolent Society
- The Baltic Charitable Fund
- The Bonno Krull Fund
The transfer of activities occurred on 31 March 2021 and the Charity now carries on the activities of the trusts transferred, namely:
- The provision of support of individuals in need
- The awarding of grants to institutions connected with the maritime industry
## Activities in the year
## Supporting individuals in need
The Charity supports individuals by the award of financial grants and the provision of interest free loans.
The financial grants are awarded as annual grants to help towards the payment of day-to-day expenses or as special grants to cover unexpected or unaffordable one off expenses incurred by the beneficiaries. The annual grants are paid quarterly and reviewed on an annual basis, whereas special grants are paid on an ad hoc basis as required.
In the year, the Charity continued to support eight (2021 – ten) individuals receiving annual grants and also paid special grants to a further five (2021 – four) individuals.
The Charity has six (2022 – six) secured loans to individuals; there was no change to these loans over the year.
## Grants to institutions
During the year, the Charity awarded eleven (2021 – nine) grants to various institutions linked to the

## Public benefit

## Plans for Future Periods
The Trustees expect to continue the activities of the charity as described above for the foreseeable future.
## FINANCIAL REVIEW
## Financial performance
The Statement of Financial activities sets out the income and expenditure of the Charity for the year ended 31 December 2022.For the comparative period, the Charity was active only for the 9 months following the transfer of activities from the predecessor charities.
At their meeting in October 2022, the trustees approved the payment of the quarterly grants for January 2023 and thus the grants to individuals comprise 5 quarterly grants.
A revaluation deficit of £998,895 (2021 – surplus £565,000) arose on the investments, resulting in a significant reduction in the reserves over the year. Nevertheless, the Charity’s closing balance sheet position is robust, with significant reserves and cash on hand in excess of £500,000.
## Investment policy
The investment policy is as follows:
- Target return of 4% per annum after inflation (as measured by CPI)
2
## BALTIC EXCHANGE CHARITABLE FOUNDATION Trustees’ annual report (including strategic report) Year ended 31 December 2022
- Target asset allocation ranges as follows:
|Target asset allocation ranges as follows:|||
|---|---|---|
||Lower bound|Upper bound|
|Cash|-%|20%|
|Government and corporate bonds|10%|30%|
|Total cash and bonds|10%|40%|
|UK Equities|20%|50%|
|International equities|20%|60%|
|Property|-%|15%|
|Alternatives|-%|10%|
- Overall medium risk approach
The trustees consider that the investments are held for the long term and therefore typically consider the investment performance over a rolling multi-year period,
## Investment review
The portfolio showed an annualised net loss of 9.1% (2021 – a gain of 10.9%), against a target return of 14.5%. The trustees are disappointed by this result, but note that the target return in high due to a high inflation which has subsequently abated.
## Reserves
The reserves comprise:
- Bonno Krull Endowment Fund
This is a permanent endowment fund which was created by the will of Bonno Julius Leopold Krull. The income from the fund is to be used to maintain the grave of Mr Krull and his wife, with any surplus to be used for charitable purposes connected to shipbroking and shipping.
- Restricted Funds
The restricted funds comprise the reserves of the former Baltic Exchange Charitable Society and the former London Shipowners’ and Shipbrokers’ Benevolent Society. The Baltic Exchange Charitable Society reserves are to be used to support the former members of the Society and their dependents. The London Shipowners’ and Shipbrokers’ Benevolent Society reserves are to be used to support those who have been involved in ship owning and ship broking businesses and their dependants.
The unrestricted funds comprise the funds from the other predecessor charity and the unexpended Bonno Krull income.
The Charity’s free reserves comprise cash held in operating bank accounts and sundry debtors, less current creditors. The Trustees aim to draw down cash from investments as needed, maximising the funds available to invest and resulting in minimal cash held in operating bank accounts. This equates to a free reserves target of £nil. The current level of free reserves is £25,058, which is in line with the policy.
## Principal risks and uncertainties, and risk management
The Trustees review the risks facing the Charity periodically and confirm that they have taken appropriate steps to manage the risks arising.
3
## BALTIC EXCHANGE CHARITABLE FOUNDATION Trustees’ annual report (including strategic report) Year ended 31 December 2022
The most significant risks that the Charity faces are:
- Market risk arising from the investments held by the Charity. The risk is mitigated by delegating day to day responsibility to professional investment managers, by splitting the investments into different portfolios and appointing two firms to manage the portfolios, and by having a split of investment types.
- Reputational risk as a result of potential beneficiary fraud. This is mitigated by undertaking robust reviews of applications and ongoing contact with the beneficiaries.
## STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
## Governing Document
The Charity is a charitable incorporated organisation which was incorporated on 18 June 2018. The governing document is the Constitution.
## Appointment of trustees
Under the Rules of the Charity, the trustees comprise:

## Grant making policy
## Grants to individuals
The Charity helps beneficiaries with annual grants that are paid in quarterly instalments and are based on income benchmarks which are set for single beneficiaries, married couples and families. All such grants are based on a recipient’s financial circumstances which are reviewed at quarterly intervals. Emergency or one-off special grants are awarded as deemed necessary by the Trustees. Those claiming assistance are required to provide full details of income and expenditure, and financial need must be established before any help can be offered. The Trustees are always mindful of the “need” qualification in the Charity’s objects. All grants are awarded after full consultation amongst the Trustees.

## BALTIC EXCHANGE CHARITABLE FOUNDATION Trustees’ responsibilities statement For the year ended 31 December 2022
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable regulations). Under that law the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the Charity for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- Make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed; and
- Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records which are sufficient to show and explain the Charity’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the constitution. 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.

## Independent Examiner’s Report to the trustees of Baltic Exchange Charitable Foundation
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Baltic Exchange Charitable Foundation for the year ended 31 December 2022, which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and the notes to the accounts, including significant accounting policies.
## Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner and basis of report
As the trustees of the charitable incorporated organization you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## Independent examiner’s statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1. Accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
2. The accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. The accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

BALTIC EXCHANGE CHARITABLE FOUNDATION Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 December 2022
## 1 Status
Baltic Exchange Charitable Foundation (“the Charity”) is a charitable Trust governed by its constitution dated 18 June 2018. The charity number is 1178830. Its principal address is PO Box 6311, Newbury, RG14 9RF.
## 2 Accounting policies
The principal accounting policies are summarised below.
## Basis of preparation
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (“FRS 102”) including Section 1A, and with the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their financial statements in accordance with FRS 102 (effective 1 January 2019). The financial statements are also prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011.
The charity is a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
## Judgements and estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting practice requires management to make judgements and estimates in applying the company’s accounting policies that may have a significant impact on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.
The only material judgement relates to the recognition of constructive obligations to the recipients of grants, as detailed the policy below and the creditors note. There are no material estimates affecting the carrying values of the assets as at the year end.
## Fund accounting Unrestricted Funds
These are funds which can be used in accordance with the charitable objects of the charity at the discretion of the Trustees.
## Restricted Funds
These are funds are to be used for specific purposes as specified by the donor.
## Endowment Funds
These are funds which can be used in accordance with the donor imposed restrictions.
## Going concern
The trustees are confident that the Charity is a going concern. The investments held are expected yield positive returns and cash generated from investments is forecast to be adequate to support grant commitments and administrative costs for at least 12 months from the date of this annual report.
## Income
All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the Charity is legally entitled to the income, when its receipt is probable and when it can be measured with reasonable certainty.
11
BALTIC EXCHANGE CHARITABLE FOUNDATION Notes to the financial statements (continued) For the year ended 31 December 2022
## 2 Accounting policies (continued)
## Expenditure
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been included under expense categories that aggregate all costs for allocation to activities. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular activities, they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of the resources.
Grants are accrued when a constructive obligation is created in the mind of the grant recipients. The trustees judge this to arise when the Charity has communicated its intention to pay a grant to the recipient and the amount of the obligation is the grant that will be paid up to the next grant review date.
## Investments
Investments are a form of basic financial instruments and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently remeasured at fair value at the balance sheet date using the closing quoted market price. The statement of financial activities includes the net gains and losses on revaluations and disposals throughout the year.
## Recognition of Liabilities
Liabilities are recognized as resources expended as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to the expenditure.
## Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the balance sheet when the group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Investments in listed shares and bonds are classified as basic financial instruments and accounted for as set out above.
Loans to beneficiaries are classified as public benefit concessionary loans are recognised initially at the transaction value and subsequent at impaired cost.
Trade and other debtors and creditors are classified as basic financial instruments and measured at initial recognition at transaction price. Debtors and creditors are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. A provision is established when there is objective evidence that the group will not be able to collect all amounts due.
Cash and cash equivalents are classified as basic financial instruments and comprise cash in hand and at bank and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents includes cash held by investment managers.
## 3 Employee information
The Charity had no employees (2021 – none).
## 4 Trustees
No trustee was remunerated in the period (2021 – none). No expenses were incurred by trustees and reimbursed to trustees in the period (2021 – none).
## 5 Taxation
The Charity is exempt from tax on income and gains falling within sections 524 to 536 of the Income Taxes Act 2007 or section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 to the extent that these are applied to its charitable objects. No tax charges have arisen in the period.
