Common Investment Funds The Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) UK Equitrack Fund (the ‘Fund’) is a Common Investment Fund (CIF) established by the Charity Commission for England and Wales (‘the Commission’), under section 24 of the Charities Act 1993. The Fund is administered for the benefit of the participating charities under a Scheme of the Commission dated January 2005. Any charity, or organisation, regarded as charitable in UK Law, and based in England, Scotland or Wales, can invest in the CAF UK Equitrack Fund. Investment Responsibilities of the Charity Trustees The Charity Commissioner requires the Charity Trustees to invest their assets only in investments authorised under the governing document of their charity or the Trustee Act 2000 if applicable. Trustees are also required to avoid speculation and to invest prudently in order to achieve both income and/or capital growth. Furthermore, Trustees of charities are required to seek professional advice regarding their investments. Corporate Trustee and Custodian The Corporate Trustee of the Fund is National Westminster Bank Plc (‘the Corporate Trustee’).

The Board establishes the investment policy, determines the criteria and methods for evaluating the Fund’s performance and appoints the auditor. In addition, the Board determines the remuneration of both the Corporate Trustee and the Manager of the Fund. The Board issues an annual report on the discharge of its responsibilities. The Board may apply to the Charity Commission for an order to discharge the Corporate Trustee or Manager of the Fund and to appoint a new Corporate Trustee or new Manager of the Fund. The Board meets not less than twice a year. Matters are decided by a majority vote of Board members present and voting. In the event that no decision is reached with a simple majority, the Chairman has the casting vote, whether or not he has previously voted. The Board members comprise the members of the CAF Funds Monitoring Committee (CFMC) which is established to oversee the performance of the fund range offered by CAF Financial Solutions Ltd. The Chairman of the Committee is the Chairman of the CFMC. 3 Statement on the Constitution and Governance of the Fund continued Advisory Board Report The Advisory Board (‘the Board’) of the CAF UK Equitrack Fund submits its report on the discharge of its responsibilities for the year ended 30 April 2014. During the year, the Board: • Met on four occasions; • Reviewed the investment policy; • Reviewed the criteria and methods for evaluating the performance of the Fund; • Re-appointed the auditor and determined the terms of engagement; • Confirmed the remuneration of the Manager of the Fund; No changes to the criteria and methods for evaluating the performance of the Fund and its investment policy have been implemented. No member of the Board has offered investment advice or conducted investment business in relation to the Fund. For and on behalf of the Advisory Board of CAF UK Equitrack Fund 24 June 2014 4 Statement on the Constitution and Governance of the Fund continued Corporate Governance Legal & General (Unit Trust Managers) Limited were appointed Managers of the Fund in accordance with the Scheme constitution. The Manager is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (the ‘FCA’) for the conduct of regulated activities, including the establishment, operation and winding up of unregulated Collective Investment Schemes. The Manager will provide management and administration services on behalf of the Fund. The Manager has delegated the investment management of the assets of the Fund to Legal & General Investment Management Limited (LGIM). The Corporate Trustee has appointed the Manager as Registrar, who, in turn, has delegated responsibility to Legal & General (Portfolio Management Services) Limited. The Investment Manager and Registrar are authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and are members of the same group of companies as the Manager. The Manager has delegated the administration of the Fund to Northern Trust Global Services Limited, a subsidiary of Northern Trust Holdings Limited. 5 Statement on the Constitution and Governance of the Fund continued Manager’s Statement On Governance Scope of Responsibility Legal & General (Unit Trust Managers) Limited (UTM) have responsibility for maintaining a sound system of internal controls that support the achievement of the CAF UK Equitrack Fund policies, aims and objectives, whilst safeguarding the assets of unitholders. System of Internal Controls The system of internal controls is designed to manage risk to a reasonable level rather than eliminate all risk of failure to achieve policies, aims and objectives; it can therefore only provide reasonable, not absolute assurance of effectiveness. The system of internal controls is based on an ongoing process designed to identify and prioritise the risks to the achievement of policies, aims and objectives, to evaluate the likelihood of those risks being realised, the impact should they be realised and to manage them efficiently, effectively and compliantly. Risk Framework Legal & General (Unit Trust Managers) Limited (UTM) is part of Legal & General Investment Management Limited (LGIM), a subsidiary firm of the Legal & General Group (L&G) and operates within a group- wide risk management framework. The risk framework seeks to ensure all risks are identified and that appropriate strategies are in place for their management. The framework consists of formal committees, risk management policies, risk assessment and reporting processes and oversight functions. These enable the directors and senior management to debate key risks and draw assurance that risks are being appropriately identified and managed, and that an independent assessment of risk is being performed. Legal & General operates a ‘three lines of defence’ model of risk management and assurance. Business management manage risks, Risk functions and Group level committees oversee and challenge the management of risk and Internal Audit provide independent assurance that risks are effectively managed and that there is appropriate oversight. Risk assessment is carried out on a bottom up and top down basis. On a monthly basis business management carry out a self-assessment of the performance of controls that operate to mitigate risk, which requires approval through the corporate hierarchy. This assessment is carried out using SWORD RMS, an externally provided risk management system. This self-assessment feeds into the Directors Certification process, part of the firms Combined Code on Corporate Governance. The Group Regulatory Risk & Compliance function operates a Conduct Risk Universe carrying out periodic assessments of controls using a conduct risk-based model. In addition, the Internal Audit function operates a similar risk-based universe of periodic reviews and assessments of control. These functions report findings to key committees and these findings are recorded on the risk management system, which ensures that required actions are tracked and evidenced. During the period, no material findings have been contained within the published reports. 6 Statement on the Constitution and Governance of the Fund continued The control assurance model incorporates a self-assessment and independent assurance of the full risk exposure of the firm. This will range from transaction processing to risk management and governance. The bottom up assessments are carried out monthly, with the independent assurance subject to a risk-based approach, with an appropriate frequency agreed by the Audit Committee (for Internal Audits) or the Group Regulatory Risk & Compliance function. On an annual basis, the external auditor assesses and reports on the effectiveness of the firm’s accounting; this is filed with the FCA. Corporate Governance Legal & General (Unit Trust Managers) Limited is a company authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA)

  • COVID-19 Proxy Governance Update
    COVID-19 Proxy Governance Update 2020 AGM mid-season review FROM EQUINITI 01 Looking back and planning ahead It is incredible to note that it has been over 12 weeks since the official announcement on 23 March of the UK Government’s Stay at Home Measures, and nearly seven months since the severity of the pandemic became apparent in China. Over the said period, PLC boards, company secretaries and investor relations officers have kept their corporate calendars going thanks to rapid adoption of modified regulatory guidelines and inventive modes of engagement with investors. With annual general meetings being an obvious highlight in the corporate calendar, we take stock of the progress made so far over the 2020 AGM season, as well as using what we learned to plan ahead. Now that we are over the first ‘hump’ with the busy period of May AGMs out of the way, we are readying for the second ‘peak’ of June and July AGMs, and then an ‘easing’ until the second ‘mini’ season in the early autumn. As such, in this update, we look at: • 2020 AGM season statistics…so far • Proxy adviser engagement and ISS recommendations review • High-level assumptions for Q3 and Q4 • Relevant updates from the regulators, industry bodies and proxy advisers • Communications in the COVID-19 world – special commentary by leading financial PR firm,Camarco • How has COVID-19 impacted activism – special commentary by international law firm,White & Case 02 2020 AGM Season Statistics…so far Scope of data To assess progress and forecast what is to come, we look at the key statistics for the UK AGM season 2020 thus far.

  • How to Sell Your House Online Online Sites Offer Virtually All the Services Of
    How to sell your house online Online sites offer virtually all the services of a traditional estate agent – and their fees can be thousands of pounds lower Sunday 7 July 2013 Online seller Ron Houston: 'They did everything I would expect from a traditional estate agent, with the exception that I had to conduct viewings myself, but I actually enjoyed that side of it.' Photograph: Antonio Olmos for the Observer As the housing market gathers momentum, one group of people hoping to rake in the cash will be estate agents. But a growing number of house sellers are shunning the traditional approach and marketing their properties online, saving thousands of pounds in the process. While high-street estate agents charge between 1.5% and 2% of the sale price, or up to a whopping £6,000 on a £300,000 property, online rivals offer a flat fee of between £250 and £1,000. This breed of private-sale sites and low-cost online agents now accounts for around 5% of completed sales, according to the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors. The biggest sites all report a rising number of property listings and sales, and the ability to save sellers a chunk of cash, as the sites do not need to fund a chain of offices and company cars. For example, eMoov, which sold 520 properties worth a combined £170m in 2012, has 850 properties for sale, says founder Russell Quirk. "We will sell your property for a flat fee of £395 plus VAT," he says, adding that eMoov saved its average customer £3,846 last year.
