Charity overview

Common Investment Funds (CIFs) are registered charities. They offer other charities a way to invest funds. CIFs report to the Commission under separate annual return regulations and financial information is collected differently for these charities so no financial information will be displayed

Activities - how the charity spends its money

The Fund has three aims: 1) To provide an annual yield above that available from the FTSE All-Share Index, 2) To provide an income stream that increases every year and 3) To provide a level of capital growth, net of the on-going charge figure, that is higher than inflation over any ten-year period, as measure by the UK Retail Price index (RPI)
