The investment is therefore held in a restricted fund, while the income generated is transferred to the unrestricted fund as it is earned.

A legacy received in 2000, the sale proceeds of land in 2001 and a donation in 2014 have been invested in 4 ,783 COIF income shares which are held to generate income for the general purposes of the Foundation. The investment is, therefore, held in an unrestricted fund (see note 3).
