Investment policy
The Trustees make their grants from the income generated by investments held. The Charities' investments aremanaged by the Charities Team of Barclays Wealth Investment Managers.
The Trustees' investment philosophy is to adopt a medium/balanced risk investment strategy, investing in anappropriate mix of equities, fixed interest and monetary assets and alternative assets as deemed appropriateand consistent with the Trustees' attitude to risk and the Trustees' requirements for income and capital growth.
The Trustees have not applied any social, environmental or ethical considerations in their investment policies.
The investment objectives are:
(i) The creation of a sufficient financial return to enable the Participating Charities to carry out theirpurposes effectively and without interruption.
(ii) The maintenance and, if possible, enhancement of the investment funds whilst they areinvested.
The Trustees recognise that the returns on equities, while expected to be greater over the longer-term thanthose of fixed interest and monetary assets, are likely to be more volatile. Investment in a mix of asset classesshould nevertheless provide the levels of return required and mitigate volatility for the Trust to achieve itsobjectives.
The following restrictions are placed upon the investments of the Common Investment Fund:
(i) Investments should be generally marketable.(ii) No investment in any company quoted on the London Stock Exchange or Investment in pooled
vehicles (with the exception of Mitchells & Butlers pic Ordinary Shares) should exceed 10% ofthe value of total equity porffolio in the CIF.
The Trustees receive from the Charities' Investment Managers a written report and valuation for theirconsideration at their meetings. A representative of the Manager will meet Trustees at least once a year toreview performance over the preceding period and to discuss and agree the future investment strategy.
At least once a year the Manager will provide a written comparison of the performance of the Investment Fundsover the last twelve months.

I report on the accounts of The Mitchells 8 Butlers Charitable Trusts for the year ended 5 April 2016, which areset out on pages 9 to 19.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The Charities' Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Charities' Trustees considerthat an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and thatan independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to;
~ examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act,~ to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section
145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act: and~ to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An
examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accountspresented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts,and seeking explanations from you as Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken donot provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as towhether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in thestatement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
~ to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and~ to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting
requirements of the 2011 Act
have not been met; or
2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of theaccounts to be reached.

All fixed asset investments are held in the UK.
Material investments
The Mitchefis & Butlers Charitable Trusts have a material investment in Mitchells & Butlers pic valued at8178,629 at the year end (2015:8280,110).
The fair value of listed investments is determined by reference to the quoted price for identical assets in
an active market at the balance sheet date.
All investments are cerned at their fair value. Investments in equities and fixed interest securities are afitraded in quoted public markets, primarily the London Stock Exchange. Holdings in common investmentfunds, unit trusts and open-ended investment companies are at the bid price. The basis of fair value forquoted investments is equivalent to the market value, using the bid price. Asset sales and purchasesare recognised at the date of trade at cost (that is their transaction value).
The main risk to the Charity from financial instruments lies in the combination of uncertain investmentmarkets and volatility in yield. The Charity is reliant on dividend yield to finance its work. Liquidity risk isanticipated to be low as all assets are traded. The Charity's investments are mainly traded in marketswith good liquidity and high trading volumes. The Charity has no material investment holdings in
markets subject to exchange controls or trading restrictions.

Material investments (continued)
The Charity manages these investment risks by retaining expert advisors and operating an investmentpolicy that provides for a high degree of diversification of holdings within investment classes that arequoted on recognised stock exchanges. The Charity does not make use of derivatives and similarcomplex financial instruments as it takes the view that investments are held for their longer term yieldtotal return and historic studies of quoted financial instruments have shown that volatility in anyparticular 5-year period will normally be corrected.
