The London Symphony Orchestra Endowment Trust Trustees, report 2021-22 The Trustees present their annual report and the audited financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022. structurei governance and management Constitution The London Symphony Orchestra Endowment Trust I'the TrLJsV'I was originally established by a deed of settlement dated 12 September 1963 which has subsequently been amended by a trust deed dated 22 October 1991, a Deed of Variation dated 5 July 2006 and a Deed of Amendment dated l October 2010. Trustees t7nd organi5Qtion The Trustees have the power to appoint further Trustees, subject to there being a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 10 Trustees of whom not more than 4 may be directors of London Symphony Orchestra Ltd I'the LSO"). Non-LSO Trustees must always constitute a majority of the Trustees. Subject to these limits, new Trustees are recruited on the basis that by virtue of their knowledge, experience and qualifications they will be able to make a contribution to the pursuit of the objects or the management of the Trust. Induction and training is provided to Trustees a5 necessary. Names of the Trustees who served during the year and in office at the date of this report are listed on page one. The Trustees meet twice a year and, in addition, an Investment Committee meets during the year with the investment managers to review the performance of the investment portfolio and to disCUSS the investment approach. Connected charity The LSO (Charity Number 2323911 is a connected charity of the Trust by virtue of the fact that the two charities have shared objectives and administration. However, the Trust is fully independent of the LSO and has its own Board of Trustees. The LSO'S subsidiary companies, LSO Productions Ltd and LSO Live Ltd are considered to be related parties to the Trust. Objectives ond activities The general purpose of the Trust is to support the objects of the LSO, namely to promote, maintain and advance education, particularly musical education and to encourage and advance the arts including music, drama, mime, dancing and singing. The Trust's main activity is to build long-term funds which will generate returns that can be used to make grant5 which support the LSO as this is considered essential to being able to secure the LSO'S future. The Unrestricted General Fund is the main endowment fund which has been estèb115hed for this purpose. In addition, the Trust has received funds raised from the Lord Mayorfs Appeals in 2004, 2010 and in 2017, as well as from a number of generous donors toward5 the Always Playing Appeal, established to SUPPOrt the LSO during and in the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic. In 2012, the Trust raised income of almost £6m and this in turn released funding from the Arts Council England's Catalyst Endowment Scheme of a further £2.9m. The funds from this campaign, which is known as Moving Music, are invested as a restricted long-term endowment with the income generated used to capture audio and audio-visual recordings of the LSO'S concert performances and to disseminate them to a wider audience.
The London Symphony Orchestra Endowment Trust Trustees, report 2021-22 The Trust also occasionally receives from donations and legacies which are intended to be used for very specific purposes over a limited timeframe. These funds are accounted for separately in order to ensure that the wishes of the donor or legator 3re honoured. The Trustees, principal focus is to manage the various funds in the most appropriate way given the relevant purposes and timescales, and to make grants to the LSO Group based on the needs of the LSO. The largest funds are all largely invested in order to maximise returns over the medium- and long-term. The Trust also makes loans to LSO members to assist them in purchasing musical instruments, and has acquired a small number of instruments which are loaned to the LSO for use by members of the Orchestra. The Trust does not use the services of volunteers and the minimal operational tasks of the Trust are undertaken by LSO staff. Public benefit The Trust provides benefit to the public indirectly by providing funding to the LSO and thereby supporting world class orchestra and its wider activities including LSO Discovery's education and community programme, and international dissemination of performances through LSO Live. The LSO'5 core activities encourage the education of, and participation in, music by the public at large. This is achieved through public concerts which have accessible ticket prices, some of which are broadcast on the radio, television and the internet and through audio recordings which are widely available at low cost. The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit and thev believe that the sUPPOrt provided to the LSO provides benefit to a wide section of the public. Achievements and performance Investment portfolio The Trust invests its assets with a view to both capital appreciation and the generation of income to support its charitable activities. There are no restrictions on the Trust's power to invest. Saunderson House managed Trust's investments since 2016 until July 2022 at which they were transferred to Sarasin & Partners. Funds previously held with U85 were all drawn down during the year. The investment strategy is set by the Trustees in discussion with the investment manager and this strategy IS reviewed regularly. Within the overall strategy, the investment manager takes the decisions on selection, retention and realisation of investments. The value of the investment portfolio rose to £19,376,668 at the year-end reflecting additions of £701,624, disposals of £253,856 and unrealised gains of £324,200. Investment performance reflected market conditions and portfolios are positioned to meet agreed investment mandates. At 30 June 2022, the investment portfolio was valued at £17,933,654, reflecting falls in financial markets after the year end. Fundraising During the year, the Trust continued the fundraising campaign known as the Always Playing Appeal to 5UPPOrt the Lso's recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic and to support its musicians. As the LSO emerges from the most challenging period of a generation, it is facing the most financially challenging years in it5 history. To sustain the Orchestra through coming years, the aim of the Always Playing Appeal is to preserve the artistic excellence of the LSO'S musicians and support the LSO in its implementation of a new strategy responding to the changes wrought by the pandemic.
The London Symphony Orchestra Endowment Trust Trustees, report 2021-22 B y july 2022, over £5m had been raised towards the Always Playing Appeal, reaching the target set in the early stages of the pandemic. This total includes donations and other income received by the Trust as well as various grants received directly by the LSO. The Trustees and LSO are hugely grateful to the lead donors to the Appeal, Alex and Elena Gerko, and to all those who have chosen to support the Appeal. The Trust also continued to promote legacy giving amongst the LSO'S supporters and audiences which is an increasingly important source of income which allows the Trust to increase its ability to support the LSO over time. The Trust did not engage the use of third party fundraisers. Grants During the year, donations of £200,00012021.' £186,631) were made to LSO Ltd from the Always Playing Fund and of £12,50012021.' £12,500) from the Anglo japanese fund to support the Japanese music students. No other grants were made during the year. Details of all prior year grants are set out in note 10. Loans to Pluyers The Trust continued to offer loans to members of the LSO to a5SlSt them in the purchase of instruments. Five new loans totalling £110,973 were made to players during the year12021= £nill. At the year-end, 21 players had outstanding loans from the Trust,. further details are shown in Note 13 to the Financial Statements. Financial review Total income received in the year was £1,930,790 12021.. £2,312,131), the majority of which related to donations, legacies, gift aid and income from investments. Expenditure of £294,27412021= £748,975) was in line with expectations and related primarily to grants and investment management fees. Gains in the value of the investment portfolio were £117,110 12021.. Gains of £3,048,994). Following reinvestment of income and surplus cash, the value of the portfolio at the year-end was £19,376,66812021'. £18,604,6991. The Trusvs total reserves increased from £20,720,426 to £22,474,052 at the year-end. Reserves policy Of the Trust's total funds of £22,474,052, a total of £15,149,320 comprise Endowment Funds or Restricted Funds and which can only be used for specific purposes. Of the remaining Unrestricted Funds, £2,229,848 are held for specific purposes leaving £5,094,883 in the unrestricted General Fund. Much of the General Fund comprises investments, which are held to generate income together with instruments for use by the LSO and loans to Members of the LSO. Excluding the investments and these other assets, which are held for the long-term, leaves a balance of £269,447 which the Trustees treat as free reserves. This amounts to slightly more than the target level for free reserve5 of 5% of the General Fund 1£254,7441. This level of free reserves is considered sufficient given that the Trust has minimal administrative overheads and no on going liabilities. In addition, the vast majority of investments held in the General Fund are liquid and available for drawdown at short notice if needed. The Trustees review levels of reserves on an annual basis.
The London Symphony Orchestra Endowment Trust Trustees, report 2021-22 Rlsk review The major risks to which the Trust is exposed, as identified by the Trustees, have been reviewed and systems have been established to mitigate those risks. The primary risks relate to protecting the value of the Trust'5 investment portfolio and other assets. Trustees delegate management of this risk to professional investment managers with oversight by the Investment Committee consisting of five of the Trustees, and the Trijsys Secretary. Many factors affecting the achievement of the Trust'5 objectives relate to economic factors such as movement in share prices, interest rates, exchange rates and inflation are largely outside the Trust's control so can only be mitigated to a certain degree. However, the Trust has long-term time horizons and is largely able to absorb fluctuations in investment markets. Plans for the future The Always Playing Appeal is due to conclude in summer 2022, and work will then continue to secure further donations for general purposes and specific projects. Careful oversight of the investment portfolio will also continue in order to increase over time the value of grants made to support its charitable objectives. The Trust also continues to seek to increase the number of individuals who plan to donate a legacy to the Trust and the Trustees have been notified by a number of individuals of pledged legacies of varying sizes. The policy of making grants to the LSO, LSO Productions Ltd and LSO Live Ltd is expected to continue along with loans to LSO members to assist with instrument purchases. Going concern At the year-end the Trust has significant net assets and minimal liabilities and operating costs. Grant5 are only awarded if sufficient funds are available to fund the necessary payments. The Tru5tee5 have a reasonable expectation that the Trust has adequate resources to continue its activities for the foreseeable future and consider that there were no material uncertainties over the Trust's financial viability. Accordingly, the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Fundraising approach The Trust subscribes to principles of fundraising best practice by committing to high standards, and being clear, honest, open, respectful, fair and reasonable, and accountable and responsible. The Trust is registered with the Fundraising Regulator and adheres to the standards of the Code of Fundraising Practice. No complaints were received about the Trust's fundraising practices during the year.

The financial reporting framework that h35 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 Practicel. In our opinion, the financial statements.. give a true and fair view of the state of the charitls affairs as at 31 March 2022 and of the charity's net movement in funds 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 Charities Act 2011. Ba515 for opinion We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing IUKI IISAS IUKII and applicable law. Our responsibilities 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 charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, includinE 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 a basis for our opinion. Conclusions relating to going concern In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees, use of the going concern bas15 of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity'5 ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from 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 sections of this report. Other information The trustee5 are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Trustees, Annual Report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to 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 inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be material
Independent auditorfs report to the Trustees of The London Symphony Orchestra Endowment Trust misstated. If we identify 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 performed, 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. Matters on which we are required to report by exceptlon We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion.. adequate accounting records have not been kept by the charity,. or sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or the charity financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns,. or we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. Responsibilities of Trustees for the financial statements As explained more fully in the trustees, responsibilities statement Set Dut on page 6, the trustees 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 a5 the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of finèncial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustee5 either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or hève no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements Our objective5 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 auditorfs report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is 3 high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS IUKI will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulatlDns. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.. Based on our understanding of the charity and the environment in which it operates, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to the charities act, and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on 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 Charities Act 2011 and consider other factors such as income tax, payroll tax and sales tax.
Independent auditor's report to the Trustees of The London Syrnphony Orchestra Endowment Trust We evaluated management's incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls). Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included.. Inspecting correspondence with regulators,. Discussions with management including consideration of known or Suspected instances of non- compliance with laws and regulation and fraud,. Reviewing the controls and procedures of the charity relevant to the preparation of the financial statements to ensure these were in place throughout the year, including during the Covid-19 remote working period,. Evaluating management's controls designed to prevent and detect irregularities; Identifying and testing journals, in particular journal entries posted with unusual account combinations, postings by unusual users or with unusual descriptions, and Reviewing minutes of trustee meeting5. 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 with 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 rather 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.. www.frc.or .uk auditorsres onsibilitie5. This description forms part of our auditor's report. Use ofour report This report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and regulations made under section 154 of that Att. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an Auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity's trustees as a body for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
