Hi

Re: Freedom of Information request - University Investment Portfolio
Statistics

Dear Laura,

Thank you once again for your Freedom of Information Act Request, to which
I write to provide a response.

1. What was the total market value of the university’s investment
portfolio(s) on the 31st July 2021? If you are going to provide this
information through your Annual Accounts/Financial Statements, please
provide the specific page number, section and row that the value can be
found on. For example, page 28, section 5 “Investments”, line “overall
investment value”.

The University’s investment portfolio totalled £28,055,140 as at 31st July
2021.

2. On the 31st July 2021, were the institution's investment portfolio(s)
managed directly by the institution, indirectly by [an] external fund
manager(s), or a combination of both?

We do not invest directly, we use external fund managers.

3. If the university uses external fund manager(s) to manage investment
portfolios, please provide the name of each fund manager used, along with
the percentage of the total investment funds that they were managing
on the 31st July 2021.

Please present this information in this format:

Fund manager name -- Percentage of total investment funds managed

Schroders -- 47%

CCLA -- 49%

University -- 4%

We use external fund managers (Rathbones 72%, Quilter Cheviot 28%).

4. If the institution invests directly, please provide the details of
companies invested in (by way of all investment portfolios), including the
full names of each company invested in, and the market value invested
in each company on the 31st July 2021. Please provide this information in
a spreadsheet format.

n/a

5. If the university holds investments through [an] external fund
manager(s), please provide the investment portfolio for that manager on
the 31st July 2021, including the market value for each company that forms
part of your investment portfolio(s) with them. Please provide this
information at a company level in a spreadsheet and/or the format that
this information is provided to you by your fund manager(s). For example,
see here: [1]https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/1...

Please see attached.

6. Does the institution have an ethical investment policy, or similar? If
so, please state if it is publicly-available, and provide a web link.

Some standard sections follow on the re-use of the information which has
been supplied to you, and your right to appeal if you are dissatisfied
with our handling of your request.

Re-use of the information supplied to you
The copyright of any information which has been supplied to you will be
owned by LSHTM unless otherwise indicated. The supply of information under
the Freedom of Information Act or the Environmental Information
Regulations does not give the person or organisation who receives it an
automatic right to re-use the information in a way which would infringe
copyright, for example, by making multiple copies, publishing and issuing
copies to the public.
Brief extracts of any material which is supplied to you may be reproduced
under the fair dealing provisions of the Copyright, Designs and Patents
Act 1988 (sections 29 and 30) for research or private study for
non-commercial purposes, criticism, review or news reporting. More
extensive re-use must only be carried out with prior written permission
from LSHTM.
Enquiries about the re-use of material should be directed to the Archivist
& Records Manager (email: [email address]).

Your right to appeal
If you are dissatisfied with the handling of your Freedom of Information
or Environmental Information request, you are encouraged to contact
[London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine request email] in the first instance, to determine if your concerns can
be resolved informally. This may lead to a quicker resolution of your
complaint than a formal appeal.
If you remain dissatisfied, you can ask for an internal review of LSHTM's
handling of your request. Appeals should be submitted promptly, and within
12 months of the School's response to your request. If you wish to
complain about a request to which we responded more than 12 months ago,
you should contact the Information Commissioner (see below), as LSHTM will
not process your appeal.
Appeals should be sent in writing to the Secretary at the following
address. You should state as fully as possible why you think your request
was not dealt with in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act or
the Environmental Information Regulations, and the remedy which you are
seeking from the School:

Secretary
London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine
Keppel Street
London
WC1E 7HT
Email: [London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine request email]

The Secretary will assign your appeal to a review committee, and will
acknowledge receipt of your appeal. The chair of the review committee will
respond to your appeal within 40 working days of its receipt by the
Secretary. If the review committee decides that information should be
released to you, the information will be provided to you as soon as is
practically possible.

If you are dissatisfied with LSHTM's response to your appeal, you can
apply to the Information Commissioner for a decision on whether your
request has been dealt with in accordance with the requirements of the
Freedom of Information Act or the Environmental Information Regulations.
The Commissioner will normally require you to have gone through our
internal appeal process first before he considers your appeal. If the
Commissioner finds in your favour, the Commissioner can require LSHTM to
release the information to you. The Commissioner can be contacted at the
following address:

Information Commissioner
Wycliffe House
Water Lane
Wilmslow
Cheshire
SK9 5AF
United Kingdom

Further information about your right to appeal to the Information
Commissioner is available on the Commissioner's website
(http://www.ico.gov.uk/).

Please do not hesitate to contact [London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine request email] if you have any
questions relating to our response to your request.

Yours sincerely,

Alex Hollander, on behalf of the Information Compliance team
