THE CIBC WORLD MARKETS CHILDREN'S FOUNDATION
Financial health, per its FY2023 accounts
The accounts state that the charity recorded a deficit of £9,369 for the year ended 31 March 2023, primarily to ensure support for its charities of the year and stabilize their cashflows post-pandemic. Per the trustees' report, this result was considered concurrent with the aims and policies of the Foundation, and the financial position for the coming year is deemed appropriate. The charity holds unrestricted reserves of £26,226, which the trustees believe prudent to retain given the dependence of income on specific market conditions.
What the accounts disclose
“Due to the dependence of the Foundation's main source of income on financial market conditions on one particular day, the Trustees believe it prudent to retain a level of reserves which would enable donations to be made in any year where income from trading commission is limited.”
