## **Minutes of the meeting of the Trustees of** 

## **The George and Esme Pollitzer Charitable Settlement (the Charity)** 

## **held on Tuesday, 13 October 2020 at 10am via Zoom** 

**Present:** Mr R Pollitzer (RFCP) Mr B Pollitzer (BP) Mrs C Charles (CC) Ms F Pollitzer (FP) 

**In Attendance:** Ms C McAleavey (Farrer & Co) (CMM) Ms S Shah (Farrer & Co) (SPS) Mr J Sykes (Saffery Champness) (JS) Ms L Parrock (Saffery Champness) (LP) Mr L Shuall (Canaccord) (LS) 

## **1. Minutes of the Meeting on 16 October 2019 and Matters Arising** 

- 1.1 The Minutes of the meeting on 16 October 2019 were approved. 

- 1.2 BP reported that the website project is on-going. He was also looking into the viability of making donations online but, at present, it is not possible for members of the public to validate account details, thus leaving the Trustees exposed to fraud. Further regulation from the payment services regulator is expected over the course of the next year. BP will continue to monitor the situation. In preparation, LP would look into C Hoare & Co’s requirements to allow online payments. 

## **2. Investment Portfolio Review** 

- 2.1 LS took the meeting through the portfolio valuation and accompanying data/charts. Key points to note were: 

   - 2.1.1 As at 30 September 2020, total portfolio value was £3.88m. This is a reduction of c5% compared with 30 September 2019 (£4.21m). The fall was almost wholly down to Covid-19. Although the portfolio had reduced in value, it had fared better than many and against the benchmark (the FTSE All Share) which had fallen by c14% over the same period. 

   - 2.1.2 The relatively good performance is due to the portfolio’s exposure to overseas markets.  Even where companies are listed in the UK, many of them are international in their outlook and do much of their business abroad. The benchmark (FTSE All Share) has been badly affected by the fall in value of companies such as HSBC, Shell, BP and tobacco

companies. LS commented that where business models are seen as outdated, the fall in value has been dramatic. Conversely, companies seen as strong have been valued optimistically. 

- 2.1.3 LS commented on some of the best and worst performing investments in the portfolio. Low performers were those directly and severely affected by the virus. Compass Group (-51% - a large contract food service company) has been forced to cut down its operations significantly. Melrose Industries (-47%), which provides equipment for power stations and aircrafts have found demand for their products much reduced. LS explained that he has sold the Settlement’s investments in a number of the worst hit companies, including banks and oil companies. In response to CMM’s question, LS confirmed that the entire holding of Royal Dutch Shell Plc has been sold from the portfolio (5,000 shares sold for £15 per share). 

- 2.1.4 On the other hand, technology stocks (Microsoft, Telecom Plus) have performed well. Again, this is due to the effects of Covid-19. Novo-Nordisk which specialises in diabetes medication (and is the world’s largest producer of insulin) continues to do well. They also have a number of initiatives to tackle obesity which are currently awaiting government approval. LS mentioned that Halma Plc (a group of safety equipment companies making products for hazard detection and life protection) is also doing well. The company has five different divisions and is well diversified. 

- 2.1.5 Investment sales. Much of the activity has been dictated by those businesses worst affected by the pandemic. For example, WH Smith was expanding quite rapidly in airports in the US but air travel has suffered badly. Elementis, which operates in the chemical sector, has an acquisition-led business model which is generally more sensitive to the effect of market cycles. LS has also sold shares in Associated British Foods. It owns Primark which, without any online business, is not performing at last year’s level. 

- 2.1.6 Investment acquisitions. Again, LS has sought to increase the portfolio’s exposure to technology stocks as well as healthcare and consumer staples. For example, he has bought shares in Domino’s Pizza which seems to be emerging from a difficult period. It had tried to expand internationally which had not been successful and had difficult relationships with many of their largest franchisees. A new management team is now in place and much of the overseas investment has been sold. The new management team has repaired relationships with franchisees and is now hoping to expand in the UK. LS’s view is that the company should continue to grow and be cash generative. LS has also bought shares in Coca Cola which has a “lean” operating model whereby most of the packaging of the product is outsourced to local firms. Similarly, Intel shares were good value. Although the company has recently been challenged by its manufacturing capability, demand for its chips is still high.

   - 2.1.7 Generally, although the virus has had a significant impact on markets, announcements from companies have been more positive than expected. Government stimulus programs have helped investors regain confidence. However, LS expects that the longer-term trend will be for economies to remain challenged and, therefore, growth to stay low for quite a long time. Having said that, once Brexit and the US presidential election have taken place, there may be more optimism in the new year. 

   - 2.1.8 The likely fall in income over the 2020/21 year was discussed. CMM reminded the Trustees that a temporary drop in income is not a particularly significant cause for concern as the Trustees can always distribute capital in that particular year. If it becomes apparent that income levels will be depressed for a significant time the Trustees should consider if the level of donations should stay in line with previous years (by distributing capital) or if donations should be limited to available income (see further 5 below). 

- 2.2 RFCP observed that historically his policy was to pursue income in portfolios but both his and the global outlook has changed. High levels of income cannot be generated without an undue level of risk. He is now less concerned about the absolute level of income in any given year, preferring to focus on sensible investments which are likely to increase in value over time. He would be happy to sell investments standing at a gain to fund donations. He also noted that there was over £300,000 capital cash in the portfolio which could be used to top up donations if necessary. 

- 2.3 LS explained that in line with the investment policy statement, no investment represented more than 10% of the portfolio. The largest single investment is Experian representing 3.76% of the value of the portfolio. He also noted that the LSE 4.75% bond is investment grade but that the Tesco Personal Finance 5% bond is not rated by any of the major agencies (Fitch, Moody’s and S&P). The bond is currently rated BB+ and therefore falls outside of the charity’s “BBB and above” requirements. However, as this bond will be redeemed in November no action was necessary. 

- 2.4 There was some discussion about alternative investments.  LS explained that these provided a good hedge to the risk in the equity portion of the portfolio. They also provided some exposure to investments which LS would not invest in directly on the Charitiy’s  behalf, such as gold and index linked investments. 

- 2.5 LS is confident that although income had fallen, capital growth over the next few years should more than make up the deficit. He thought that all the companies in the portfolio would continue to pay dividends, albeit at a lower level than in the past. 

## **3. Review of Investment Policy Statement (signed in October 2018)** 

- 3.1 After discussion, it was agreed that there was no change needed to the Investment Policy Statement and it would not be signed again.

## **4. Accounts for the year ended 5 April 2020** 

- 4.1 JS took the meeting through the accounts for the year ended 5 April 2020 by reference to LP's report and to the Financial Statements **.** 

   - 4.1.1 As previously discussed, income had fallen from £154,018 in 2019 to £140,466 in 2020. These figures were to 5 April. As noted above it was predicted that overall income would fall further in 2020/21. 

   - 4.1.2 Donations had been £109,000 in 2020 compared with £176,000 in 2019. 

   - 4.1.3 As at 5 April 2020, there was income of £67,989 available for distribution which had increased to £115,253 as at 9 September 2020. 

- 4.2 The Accounts were approved by the Trustees and it was agreed (as the meeting took place virtually) that RCFP and BP would sign the Accounts on behalf of the Trustees. CMM noted there was no Charity Commission requirement for Accounts to be signed. 

## **5. Donations** 

- 5.1 The fall in income discussed earlier was re-visited. In response to CC’s question, JS explained that there was c£168,000 available for distribution in 2020/21. Of that figure, c£68,000 is carried forward from last year and the remaining £100,000 is the estimate of the total income which the portfolio will generate in 2020/21. 

- 5.2 The suggested list of donations came to a total of £110,000 (compared with £109,000 last year). Assuming the level of income did not drop further significantly, this would leave a further £58,000 to distribute. 

- 5.3 After discussion, the Trustees approved the suggested donations and resolved to review the position in March 2021 to see if further donations could be made at that stage. It was noted that the charity sector is struggling. The Trustees would aim to be generous. 

- 5.4 It was agreed that LP would prepare the donation cheques in the usual way and send them to RCFP and BP for signature. 

## **6. Review of agents/professional Trustees** 

- 6.1 The Trustees confirmed that they are happy with the services provided by Canaccord, Saffery Champness and Farrer & Co. 

- 6.2 PJE (auditors) were discussed. There had been correspondence earlier in the year about changing auditors as PJE’s fees appeared to have increased. On closer inspection, the year on year increase was minimal and in any event, the firm had agreed to slightly lower fees this year. This would be kept under review. 

## **7. Next Meeting** 

- 7.1 Tuesday, 12 October 2021 was provisionally agreed for next year’s meeting.

## Date:

## **Trustees' report** 

## **Investment policy** 

There are no restrictions on the Trustees' powers to invest. The Trustees have delegated under section 11 of the Trustee Act 2000 full discretionary powers to the Investment Managers. Their policy is to seek to maximise total return, whilst maintaining the real value of the portfolio and not subjecting it to undue risk. The Trustees review the Investment Managers at their regular meetings, and their policy at least annually. 

## **Governing document** 

The governing document is the settlement deed dated 27 January 1960. 

## **Objectives** 

The charity is for the benefit of such charitable institutions, objects or purposes as the Trustees think fit. 

Policies adopted by the charity in order to achieve its objects have remained unchanged. 

## **Related parties** 

Richard Pollitzer, a trustee, is an investment director of Canaccord (formerly Hargreave Hale).  During the year their fees were £13,944 and outstanding at 5 April 2021 was £3,462. 

## **Review of Achievements and further developments** 

The statement of financial activities for the year is set out on page 8. During the year the Trustees donated £105,000 as detailed on pages 10 to 13. The Trustees' aim is to distribute all the net annual income each year and consider further distributions from accumulated income and capital as appropriate. 

## **Risk management** 

The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the Charity is exposed, in particular those related to the return on investments, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate their exposure to major risks. 

## **Impact of Covid-19** 

Since March 2020, Covid­19 has been having a significant impact on the charity sector as a whole. The charity is expecting a decrease in investment income during the year ended 5 April 2021, together with a decrease in valuation of the investment portfolio. The situation remains uncertain and the Trustees will continue to monitor its impact upon the charity.

## **Trustees' report** 

## **Public benefit** 

The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Charity's aims and objectives and setting it's grant making policies. The Trustees regularly receive donation requests which are considered periodically throughout the year. 

## **Trustees Responsibilities in relation to the financial statements** 

Charity law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the income and expenditure of the charity for that period.  In preparing those 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 estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- ­ state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 

- ­ prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operational existence. 

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Charities Act 2011 and the provisions of the trust deed. 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** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the financial statements of the Charity for the year ended 5 April 2021 which are set out on pages 8 to 22. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity's trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for the period under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. 

## **Basis of independent examiner’s report** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusal items or disclosures in the financial statements, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the financial statements present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no 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 accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; or 

2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or 

3. the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act other than any requirement that the financial statements give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

I have no concerns, other than the matter set out below, 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 financial statements to be reached.

## **Independent examiner's report** 

## **Matter of concern identified** 

The Trustees' view on the impact of COVID­19 is disclosed in the Trustees' report. However, not all future events or conditions can be predicted. The COVID­19 viral pandemic is one of the most significant economic events for the UK with unprecedented levels of uncertainty of outcomes. It is therefore difficult to evaluate all of the potential implications on the charity.
