University[of] Roehampton £4,000 University[of South][Wales] £4,000 University[of the][West of ] England £4,000

The target proportions of the portfolio to be invested in each asset class are:

e targe t proportion s of the p ortfolio to be invested in e ach assetc lassare:
Asset Class Ti Minimum Maximum
60 50 80
Fixed Interest 15 0 30
Cash 25 10 35

The investment objective is to generate a high total return subject to an acceptable levelof risk. The performance of the[investment] portfolio (excluding cash) is measured against the following composite benchmark:

FTSE All Share Index 80% ICE BoAML1-15 Gilt Index 10% ICE BoAML 1-15 Non-Gilt Index 10%

The equity and fixed interest investments are achieved through holdings in the M&G Charifund and Charibond respectively. Investment performance for the year to 30 June 2022 was 0.4% (net of fees) which compares to[-0.4%][from][the] composite[benchmark.][After ] a strong recovery in markets in 2021, there has been a set back in 2022 as a result of the sharp increase in inflation and the war in Ukraine. Asa result, central banks around the world including the Bank of England have raised interest rates. This has led to underperformance from[fixed][income.] Both M&G funds have outperformed their benchmarks this year. The charity's focus on UK equities has also paid dividends this year with these considerably outperforming[other][markets] around the world.

Overthe last seven years, the investment portfolio (ex cash) has returned 4.6% per annum which compares to the composite benchmark of 4.8% per annum.
