Vhen s8ttlNJ the objectives and planning the work of the Charity for the year, the Tru8te8 has given car8ful conslderation to the Chariiy Commission's general guidan on public benefit. In meeting its objects. the trustee has been mindfijl of the public benefits which the Charity and the School can jointly provide to local, provincial and natK)nal organisations by the use of the grounds. sports f8cilltl8s and the various halL8 and buildings. During 2022, the a&8ets of the Cadogan Trust were transferred to the Endowment TrusL to be used to continue providing bursaries to six current students at th8 S<*ool.

No further provision ¥VdS made in recognItin of the increased scope and cost required lo Complete the programme of bad(log works. A support grant of £75k was paid to th8 RMS to assist in mitigating the impact of the imtM)sition of VAT on school fees. Reserves Pollcy As at the 31 March 2025 the total18vel of r8S8rv88 W88 £13.20 M. of which £10.89 M related to endov4m8nt funds, £0.54 M to the Cadogan Bursary and Ihe remainder of £1.76 M related to the working capital wilhin the unrestricted general reserve. Tha Chanty's policy is to apply its resources for any charitable purpose connected with the School or the aducation of its pupils in accordance wrth the trust deed. The Charity has commissioned a report from firm of professional surveyors lo consider the condition of the Schwl buikdings in antbcipation of a new tenant repainng lea58. from whiGh significant dilapidations have been identifi8d for re¢tifi¢ation. The expeth wst for this is estlmated at £21.50 M and fvll proifjsion has been made for this against the value of the social investment property in the accounts. In order to provide increased availability of funds. the Trustee agreed to adopt a Total Retum basis lor ulilising Investment retums on 12 December 2019, replacing the previous policy of applying in-year income only for the purpose of supporting the Schcol. The surplus over the orfginal endowment has been transferred to a separate reserve f(K the total unapplied return. The social investrnent property has been valued through tha discounting of expected future lease payments using a yield of 5.5% as the cost of capiial. less the residual value of Ihe provision for backlog repairs. This provision is being released back to the endowmenl fund in line with the works belng Completed and tharged to the unrestricted general reseprfe. The provision for backlog repairs is reviewed on an annual basis, and adjusted as required in accordance with the evolNiThJ ¢xBt for the planned work8. Investment Pollcy and P•rfornianc• The inv88tment strategy was to provlde sufficient income to support the Chariws primary objectives whilst maintainlng its real value to ensure that purchasing power does not diminish in the long-term. The Truste8 recognised that this required a medium to hh risk asset allocation, with up to 85% of the portfolio inM8sl8d in equities. Risk w8s mitigated through a diverse portrolio of ftxed inierest securities, equiti8s, unll trusts and opgn-ended investment companies. Following the Trustee's decisK)n to adopl a Total Relum basis, the requirement to maximise the income component of the investrnent retum was removed. and the Charity was ab18 to adopt the MCF investment strategy and to transfer rts funds to tha MCF CAIF. The MCF global inveslment strategy seeks to protect the Caprtal value of investrnents that are requId to fund operations for a two-year lime horizon (the°Cash Reserve.) and to invest all rernaining funds for long tem growth, on a total turn basis, wilh an overall objective of making a return of CPI plus 3.5% net of all expenses.
