What the accounts disclose

Reserves policy: With over a quarter of the Mission’s regular annual income arising derived from its Investment Portfolio, high levels of reserves are necessary to maintain this funding. The actual level of the Mission’s Reserves from time to time should enable the maintenance of a diversified Investment Portfolio of acceptable quality which will provide resources sufficient to ensure the funding of overall outgoings. (reserves figure: £2.8m)
