Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

Significant events

• “During the financial period, the Foundation successfully made funding commitments to six organisations (2024: seven organisations) in accordance with its grant making policy as outlined above. Commitments for 2024/25 totalled $56 thousand (2024: $415 thousand).”
• “The portfolio nominal return for the 12 months period to 30 June 2025 was +9.2% and the FY2025 return net of inflation was +6.1%.”
• “In April 2025, the IC took the opportunity to reduce cash and add US and European equity exposure during the turmoil of Trump tariffs and to diversify the EM exposure. Over the twelve months period, the equity exposure of the portfolio was net increased from 19% to 25%.”
• “In December 2021 the Trustees had decided to let Ashmore Group contributions be the main driver of growth for the Foundations reserves. However, the Trustees this year agreed that, although this is a good basis for growth of the endowment, the investment committee (IC) should focus fully on long term capital appreciation.”
• “The Foundation plans to maintain, and, for the FY2026 period grow, the level of grants-based partnerships across all priority geographies and will continue to identify and engage with suitable charitable partners to deliver an updated framework of social impact goals.”
