This pertormance has been helped bythe fall In CPI Inflaiion but remains behind over the last 3 ènd S years due to the sur8e in inflation during 2022. The current èssÈt allocation is projected to achieve 3 long-rerm nominal return slightly below ihe long-rerm target but this does not make any allowance for potential outperformance from the undedying manager5. The Trustees recognise the asset allocation is a snapshot of the current position and is not a long-term straregic asset allocation. The T¥ustees continue to take è long-term view on performance.
