T he intention is to d ir e c t g r an ts to the major areas l istedbelow, especial ly for capital o r fix e d te r m projects, and with part icu la r, bu t no t exc lus ive , regard to the needs of th e J e wis hcommun i t y . This s tatement of object ives is no t intended as a f orma l l im i ta tion of the way that the t rus tees m ay exercisetheir discret ion from t ime to t ime .1. Medic ine2. Educat ion3. Wel fareThe group in suitable ci rcumstances has purchased bu ild ings to be made availab le to other charities so that effectively theincome which should otherwise be derived fr om s uc h p rop er ty , or most of it , is foregone by way of conferring a grant orbenefi t to the other charities to assist them in the work fo r which the group wishes to give support.Achievements and pe rformanceInvestment po licy and property reportT he g ro u p' s in ve s tm e n t policy is primari ly to focus on property providing a good rental income, to enable it to suppor t itscharitable object ives, combined with long term secur i t y to e nsu r e t he longevity oft he chari ty .Wi th t his in mind, suppor ted by the serv ices of professional property managers, the group invests to bui ld what it considersto be a high qual i ty por t fo l io with the vast majori ty in commerc ia l an d non-res ident ia l proper ty let to bus iness te na nts .

S u ch a fall, an d any c o r re s p on d in g a d ju s t m e n t requi red to the carry ing value of theGroup's freehold proper ty , represents a no n - adjust ing p os t b ala nc e s he e t e ve nt an d therefore no adjustment , shouldit be r equ i red , ha s b e e n m ad e. T he Trus tees consider it is not p ra c tic a l o r f e as ib l e in the current economic climate togive an es t imate of t he f inanc ial effect . The fall in the marke t value of in ve s t m e n ts s in c e the b a la nc e s he e t date ha salso had an impact on the value of the Chari ty 's investments .
