Dear R Vidal

Please find below the response of Worcester College, Oxford to your freedom of information request of 9 April 2019.

The College does not invest directly in either shares or corporate bonds, and has not done so for the past seven years (beyond which we do not hold detailed financial records). The College invests in funds managed by Oxford University Endowment Management and we do not hold data on transactions in those funds’ underlying assets.

Yours sincerely
