At 31 May 2022, the LTF has an overall market value of $62.2m, comprising of funds attributable to:
· Economic Development of $17.3m,
· Property Reinvestment of $28.3m, and

· Working capital requirements of $6.4m

Non-compliance with the Statement of Investment Policy and Objectives (SIPO)At 31 May 2022, the Long-Term Investment Fund allocation to the Global Equities was 4.6% which is slightly below its lower limit of 5%. This under allocation is due to reducing exposure to currently volatile global equities and in particular the recent $1M drawn down from T. Rowe Price Global Equity to help de-risk the portfolio. This discrepancy from SIPO will be remedied when global equities markets are expected to grow again.
At 31 May 2022, the Short-Term Investment Fund allocation to the Castle Point 5 Oceans was 22.9% which is slightly above its higher limit of 20%. Castle Point 5 Oceans is above its upper range due to reduced TDs. This exposure will be progressively reduced to meet cash flow requirements.
