2. STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The Britwell Trust was established by a Deed dated 23 March 1984 and is an unincorporated charitable trust bound by the proper law of England and Wales. The original settlor was the late Sir Anthony John Tennant.
The terms of the trust require income and capital to be applied for charitable purposes as the Trustees in their absolute discretion shall determine. The trustees’ power to accumulate the income of the trust expired on 23 March 2005, and thereafter the trustees have endeavoured to expend the income towards the fulfilment of the objectives of the trust.

Trustees’ Responsibilities Statement
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare the financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of its incoming resources and application of resources for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operational existence.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 and where relevant, the Charities Act 2022, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
In accordance with trust law, as the charity Trustees, we certify that:
-
so far as we are aware, there is no relevant information of which the charity’s Independent Examiner is unaware; and
-
we have taken all the steps that we ought to have taken in order to make ourselves aware of any relevant information and to establish that the charity’s Independent Examiner is aware of that information.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT (continued)
Internal Controls
The Trustees have overall responsibility for ensuring that the charity has appropriate systems of internal controls. They are also responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements follow best practice. They are also responsible for the charity safeguarding its assets and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The system of internal controls is designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance against material misstatement or loss.
Induction and Training
The training of Trustees is adopted on an informal basis. The Trustees are kept informed of their duties and obligations under the laws in addition to their proper conduct.
Related Party Transactions
Should the charity engage in a transaction with which one of the Trustees is connected, the conflicted Trustee will excuse themselves from the decision making process. Any related party transactions are disclosed notes to the Financial Statements.
3. OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The objectives of the charity are to apply capital and income for such charitable purposes, charitable institutions or charitable foundations in such manner as the Trustees in their absolute discretion think fit.
Postal appeals are sent to the registered office of the charity for consideration of the Trustees.
Statement of Public Benefit
The Trustees are aware of the Charity Commission guidance on Public Benefit and confirm that they have complied with the duty in Section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to it. They consider the information which follows in this annual report, about the trust’s aims, activities and achievements in the areas of interest that the trust supports demonstrates the benefit to its beneficiaries and through them to the Public, that arise from those activities.
4. ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Investments
The assets of the charity consist principally of investments and cash and these are collectively recorded on the Balance Sheet and supporting notes at their market value on that date. Any increase or decrease over the previous year’s market value on the restatement of these values is recorded in the Statement of Financial Activities. As at 31 December 2023, the value of the charity’s investments was £1,884,916 (2022 - £1,807,345).

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE (continued)
The charity realised investment gains of £5,048 (2022 - £67,681 losses), and had unrealised gains of £84,036 (2022 - £120,078 losses). The total net gains on investment assets for the year ended 31 December 2023 was £89,084 (2022 - £187,759 losses).
The investment objectives of the trust are to preserve capital in real terms and provide sufficient income to meet the Trustees’ requirements. The portfolio is reviewed on a regular basis and reports produced by the investment manager so that any necessary steps can be taken to lessen the risks of the objectives not being met. The Trustees’ investment powers are unrestricted.
The Trustees’ investment manager SG Kleinwort Hambros has in place an investment policy covering the following objectives:-
-
A sterling denominated portfolio
-
A balance of income and growth with a bias towards capital growth over the longer term, reducing the risk by increasing the overall diversification of the portfolio
-
Long term time horizon
-
No further restrictions stated
-
Benchmarked against the traditional UK balanced growth asset allocation
SG Kleinwort Hambros manage the trust investment portfolio and monitor performance against both ARC Balanced (40-60% equity risk) and ARC Steady Growth (60-80% equity risk).
The portfolio follows a GBP UK Balanced Growth strategy to generate a real return exceeding the rate of inflation, while accepting a relatively moderate level of risk similar to the long-run historical risks of investing in a blended portfolio of 40% bonds and 60% equities.
SG Kleinwort Hambros summary for the year was as follows:-
In early 2023, investors focused on the dramatic Covid policy change in China. The prospect of stronger economic activity saw sharp rises in commodities.
The collapse of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) in March dominated asset price moves during the month. Concerns that Banking sector woes would lead to a sharp fall in credit availability saw US 10 bond yields fall, closing the month at c. 3.5%, reducing market expectations of further rate increases. Wage pressures drove inflation higher during Q2 2023.
Markets continued to stabilise after the short-term disruption caused by the issues in the US banking industry. UK 10-year bond yields back to the level they were prior to SVB’s unravelling.
UK economic performance continued to defy sceptics with both the Bank of England and the IMF upgrading their forecasts for growth in 2023 to c. 0.4%, up from a modest decline previously, driven by consumer spending.
In June 2023, UK inflation pushed higher than consensus expectations and UK employment markets showed signs of cooling, with unemployment rising modestly, driven in the main by growing availability of labour. The US economy showed signs of slowing of activity, while the Federal Reserve (the Fed) stated it will pause its cycle of monetary tightening to assess the impact of the previous rate rises.
In the UK and in parts of Europe, inflation tracked lower. In the US, headline inflation fell back as energy and food prices declined. Chairman Jerome Powell kept markets guessing as to whether the Fed had ended its phase of monetary tightening.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE (continued)
August began with bond yields rose in the US and UK, though by month-end they had fallen c. 3040 basis points (bps) below those mid-month peaks, due to softer economic data in the US. In addition, China continued to concern investors, particularly the country’s property development sector and shadow banking system.
Inflation figures in UK and Europe continued to moderate in September. The Bank of England (the BoE) halted its sequence of rate rises, and bond markets quickly priced out any further rate rises. In the US, the Fed chose to leave interest rates unchanged but, Chairman Jerome Powell delivered fairly hawkish commentary around future policy to try and constrain ‘animal spirits’.
In October, the outbreak of significant hostilities in the Middle-East drove risk aversion across many asset markets. Typically, this would have ignited a rally in government bonds but, the opposite happened.
By November, investors began pricing out the risk of any further monetary tightening in the UK and began anticipating interest rate cuts in the second half of 2024. Bond yields fell across all durations. The US delivered a lower-than-expected inflation print. The absence of a wider escalation of hostilities in the Middle-East, as well as ceasefires, saw the oil price fall below the levels of early October.
In December, UK inflation continued to fall with the annual rate at c. 3.9%, driven by declining core inflation and helped by slowing wage growth and falling energy prices. US inflation also declined, driven by falling energy and food prices.
Markets are now pricing in several rate cuts in 2024, which historically has always been good for markets. However, should the US or other economies dip into recession, it will be challenging for equity markets to maintain the recent rally into 2024 in a meaningful way.
Management of the Trust
Over Q1 and Q2 2023, the Trust’s Equity positions added value. Specifically, Europe (BGF Continental European Flexible Fund, JOHCM Continental European Fund), US (Fidelity Index US, Amundi S&P 500 Climate Net Zero Ambition ETF), and Global Equity (Pictet Global Environmental Opportunities Fund) were key contributors to performance. The Trust’s exposure to Alternatives marginally detracted from performance (Amundi Epsilon Global Trend Fund, the Tail Risk Protection Note, Moorea Real Assets Fund,).
Over Q3 and Q4 2023, the Trust’s Equity positions added value. Specifically, US (Fidelity Index US, Amundi S&P 500 Climate Net Zero Ambition ETF, Robeco BP US Premium Equities Fund), UK Equity (iShares FTSE 250 ETF), and Japan Equity (Fidelity Japan Value Fund) were key contributors to performance. The Trust’s exposure to UK Government Bonds and Alternatives also added value (Lyxor FTSE Actuaries UK Gilts ETF, Moorea Real Assets Fund, Lyxor Tiedemann Arbitrage Strategy Fund).
The Trust’s total return performance over the period reported is c. +6.93%.

-
£2,000 - St Andrews University was granted £2,000 to
A full list of the charitable grants and donations made during the year in pursuit of the Trustees’ objectives are listed under Note 3 of the financial statements.
Reserves Policy
Income is generated principally from the investments held by the trust. The Trustees have no formal reserves policy and any undistributed income during the year is earmarked for direct charitable expenditure in the following year. In the event that the Unrestricted Fund has been fully exhausted, the Trustees are able to utilise the Expendable Endowment, as they see fit.
Total charity Unrestricted Fund income reserves at 31 December 2023 were £17,136 (2022 - £nil), with Expendable Endowment reserves of £1,914,860 (2022 - £1,825,776). Total free reserves at 31 December 2023 were £1,931,996 (2022 - £1,825,776).
Risk Management
A risk assessment has been undertaken which comprises:
-
an annual review of the risks the charity may face;
-
the establishment of systems and procedures to manage those risks; and
-
the implementation of procedures designed to minimise any potential impact on the charity should those risks materialise.
This continuing process will identify risk areas to which the trust is vulnerable and highlight any necessary safeguards that will need to be put in place. No major risks were identified at the date of these financial statements.
The Trustees have approved fit and proper declarations in line with HMRC guidance.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of accounting
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of investments. The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (“Charities SORP FRS 102”) issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011, where relevant the Charities Act 2022 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
The Trust has applied the provisions set out in Charites SORP FRS 102 and does not include a Statement of Cash Flows on the basis it is a small charity.
The principal accounting policies adopted are as follows:-
Fixed asset i nvestments
Investments are included at closing mid-market value at the Balance Sheet date. Realised gains and losses on investments are recognised as they arise and any unrealised gain or loss on revaluation is taken to the Statement of Financial Activities. The determination of any gains and losses is calculated by reference to the market value of such assets at the beginning of the accounting period.
Incoming resources
All income is accounted for when the charity becomes entitled to the income, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received. For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which the estate is finalised or when a distribution is received from the estate.
Expenditure
Expenditure is included on an accruals basis and is recognised when there is a legal or constructive obligation to pay for expenditure.
Direct charitable expenditure comprises grants and donations made during the year together with the recognition of certain commitments made by the Trustees. Governance costs are included within charitable expenditure. These costs relate to the general running of the trust as opposed to the management functions inherent to generating funds. Such costs can include external audit, legal advice and costs associated with constitutional and statutory requirements.
Status of funds
The entire resources of the charity are unrestricted and the Trustees have complete discretion for their use in pursuance of its objectives. Expendable Endowment are unrestricted funds earmarked for investments to generate income for charitable activities.
Taxation
The charity is not subject to any taxes on its charitable activities. Irrecoverable VAT is charged to the Statement of Financial Activities (“SOFA”) when the expenditure to which it relates is incurred and allocated.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Debtors and creditors receivable/payable within one year
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised as expenditure.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts, when applicable, are shown within borrowings in current liabilities. Cash held by investment managers for investing is treated as part of the investment portfolio.
Going Concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the Trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The Trustees have considered the level of funds held and the level of income and expenditure 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The anticipated income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
The current ongoing conflicts in Ukraine, the Middle East and the resulting inflationary pressures have affected the global economy. Having considered the contingency plans in place and having reviewed updated cash flow forecasts, the Trustees consider the adoption of the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements continues to be appropriate.
