The Company of Chartered Architects Charitable Trust Fund is a charitable incorporated organisation (CIO) administered by Trustees who are all volunteers recruited and appointed from the Court. Trustees who administer the charity are independent from the Livery Company as it is a separate legal entity to the Livery Company. Trustees sit on various committees so that they have an overview on what might be needed in terms of awards. The Trustees report to the Court Meeting of the Worshipful Company of Chartered Architects on a regular basis and the Court is kept advised of the Trustees for the coming year. **Governance:** This has now been replaced by the Charitable Incorporated Organisation Constitution of The Company of Chartered Architects Charitable Trust Fund dated 2nd May 2023 as a Registered Charity, covered by statute and overseen by the Charity Commission. **Management:** The Trustees are happy to receive suggestions on new causes to support. The Trustees aim to meet once each quarter and at one meeting in the year they meet with their Independent Financial Advisor to review the year and discuss future investment. The Trustees aim to ensure that risks, finance and funding are regularly reviewed, as well as other issues arising during the course of the year. The trustees are always on hand to deal with urgent issues that might arise. The Trustees undertake a budget proposal review, where risks and conflicts are identified, highlighted and mitigated where required. The Trustees held a meeting twice in the period of the report. The annual financial review with their financial advisor was held on 14[th] February 2025. ## **Reference and administrative details** - Charity Name: THE COMPANY OF CHARTERED ARCHITECTS CHARITABLE TRUST FUND - Charity Number: 1202895 - Charity Address: Temple Bar, 2 Paternoster Lodge, Paternoster Square, EC4M 7DX.

Page 5 of 17 The Company of Chartered Architects Charitable Trust Fund ANNUAL REPORT – year-end 30[th] JUNE 2025 ## **Financial review** The Fund, set up in 1987, met its initial target of £1,000,000 at the end of 2023. The Fund needs to grow so that the Trustees can allocate more money each year for disbursement. The objective of the Charitable Trust Fund is to achieve a split of approximately 50% of annual income as the target disbursement budget, 25% Expenses (Consultants fees) and 25% investment to grow the fund. The budget for each year is made up of donations from members to the Charitable Trust Fund and that from investment dividends. The fund is invested and managed on a day to day basis by Perspectives Capital Management and administered by appointed Trustees. The total value of the portfolio on 30[th] April 2025 was currently £1,2224,394 which consists of investments to the value of £1,043,696 and cash deposits of £180,698. There have been no capital withdrawals or new contributions over the last quarter or the last 12 months. Returns for the current year have now been brought back in recent weeks in view of all the geopolitical and tariff announcements leading to a new period of uncertainty. If we compare the underlying portfolio value to the valuation compiled in January 2025, then there has been a decrease in capital value of approximately -6.49% over this: relatively short time scale. If we compare the underlying current value to that of April 2024 then the portfolio has decreased in capital value by approximately -1.25% for the year. However, the portfolio also continues to provide a healthy additional income stream (circa +2.50%3.00% pa). If we add the generated income to the capital value, then there has actually still been a real increase in value for the overall portfolio of circa +1.93% for the year, being a positive return. Overall, the portfolio continues to meet its prime objectives, which is to provide a competitive income stream while at the same time looking to achieve long term capital growth. The portfolio remains globally diversified and is distributed among a number of asset classes to provide 'moderate' investment risk. The overall portfolio contains approximately 60-65% in global equities with the balance in more cautious asset classes. Approximately 40% of the underlying investment funds within the portfolio have an ethical/socially responsible investment mandate. The balance is invested in broader more main stream investment funds. ## Gift Aid Upon completion of all HMRC registration requirements for the CIO, the Trustees will collate eligible donations, verify donor declarations and prepare a Gift aid claim for submission to HMRC. ## Plans for future periods The Trustees hope to engage and support more Schools of Architecture. This is to increase the contribution and support to the Architectural profession. The Trustees propose to maintain the investment mix of the previous year.
