Tables 1 to 4 are compiled from the custodian's records. The custodian is the Pension Fund's prime record keeper. He accrues for dividends and recoverable overseas tax within his valuation figures and may also use different exchange rates and pricing sources compared with the fund managers. The custodian also treats dividend scrip issues as purchases which the fund managers may not do. This may mean that there are minor differences between the tabled figures and those supplied by the managers.

 

The Independent Financial Adviser will review the investment activity during the past quarter and present an overview of the Fund’s position as at 31 March 2017, and highlight any key performance issues using the following tables:
