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.

Independent auditorfs report to the Trustees of
The London Symphony Orchestra Endowment Trust
Oplnlon
We have audited the financial statements of The London Symphony Orchestra Endowment Trust for the
vear ended 31 March 2022 which comprise statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the
statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant
accounting policies. 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.
