Redurtion in unrestrirted funds
Overhead costs do not include investment fund managers, costs as these are deducted at source either from
capital or prior to income distribtstions or both. Further information regarding investment managers, costs is
shown in Note sc to the Accounts. The income, overhead costs and net grants represent 2.36%, 0.20% and
2.27% of the unrestricted funds at the beginning of the year respectively12023- 2.48%, 0.17% and 2.89%1.
On 31 january 2024, total unrestricted fund5 amounted to £50.607.70512023: £48,159,316).
Investment Policy and Perforniance
All investments held by the Trust have been made in accordance with the powers available to the Trustees.
The current investment policy is to follow a total return strategy, the objective of which is to sustain the long-
term real value of the investment fund. and hence of the real value of grants. Therefore, the majority of the
portFolio is invested in global, broadly diversified funds. The Trust does not impose specific ethical investment
constraints over and above those already contained within the investment managers, own ethical and socially
responsible investment policies.
Adjusting for additions to and disposals from the investment portfolio, its value increased during the year from
£47,128,597 on 31 January 2023 to £49,565,709 on 31 January 2024. This represented an increase in the value
of the portfolio of 5.17% during the year, compared with a decrease in the FTSE All Share index of 1.94% and
a rise in the MSCI World index of 15.09%. The Trust's portfolio was inevitably affected by the weakness in most
major asset classes in the UK. Trustees meet investment managers of the actively-managed funds at least
annually. Trustees remain 5atlsfied with the composition and diversification of the portfolio.
Reserve5 Poliry
On 31 January 2024, the Trust had total funds of £50.607.70512023.. 48,159,3161. The Trust's reserves policy
is to ensure it maintains adequate funds to meet its commitments and to hold funds to produce income to
contribute towards the payment of future grants. The Trust does not currently hold any restricted funds and

Risk Management
The Trustees regularly review the major strategic, financial. reputational and operational risks which the Trust
could face and confirm that systems are established, which are kept under review. to mitigate those risks.

Steel
Charitable T¥us'
REPORT OF TptE Th￿￿-.=_:
As the object of the Trust is to pay grants to chai¥table bodie5. the major risk facing the Trust is that the
performance of its investments, in the form of income and changes in capital values. reduces the extent of its
grant-making capacity. This risk is mitigated through the Trusys Investment poliry.

they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these

Irregularitie5, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design
procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material mi5Statements in respect of
irregulartties. including fraud. The extent to which our pr￿edureS are capable of detecting iriegularities,
including fraud is detailed below=
How the audit w(Js considered capable of detecting irregularities includingfroud."
Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material mi55tatement in respect of irregulafities,
including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations. was as follows=
we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the Trust through discusSiOn5 Wlth management.
and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the sector,.
we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on
the accounts or the operations of the Trust. including the Charities Act 2011;
we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulation5 identffjed above through making
enquiries of management and inspecting correspondence,- and
identified laws and regulations were communicatedwf(hin the auditteam and theteam remained alert
to instances of non-compliance throughout the audtt.
We assessed the susceptibility of the Trusys accounts to material misstatemen¢ including obtaining an
understanding of how fraud might occur. by..
making enquiries of management as to where they considered there wa5 SU5ceptibility to fraud, their
knowledge of actual. suspected and alleged fraud: and
considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and
regulations.
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls. we:
perfof med analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexperted relationships:
tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions,.
assessed whether judgement5 and assumptions made in deterniining the accounting estimates set out
in the accounting policies were indicative of potential bias- and
investigated the rationale behind signthcant or unusual transactions.
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations. we designed procedures
which included, but were not limited to-
agreeing financial statement disclosures to undedying supporting documentation-
reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governan￿. and
enquiring of management and representatives of Trustees as to actual and potential litigation and
claims.
