Unrealised gains/(losses) have also been adjusted accordingly.

2. Realised gains/(losses) include realised gains/(losses) on underlying fund portfolio investments sold in the period, and income and expenses of the underlying fund during the period.

3. Unrealised gains/(losses) include FX on the conversion of period end fund holdings from the Funds’ reporting currency (euros) to pounds, plus unrealised gains/(losses) on the Funds’ portfolio investments and any change in OCI’s share of fund holdings.
