Reason for Decision

It was noted that the Council held £33 million in investments at 30 September 2020, with the full investment profile set out at Appendix A. Of this investment portfolio, 100% was held in low risk specified investments, the requirement for the year being a minimum of 25% of the portfolio to be specified investments. During the 6 months to 30 September on average 92% of the portfolio was held in low risk specified investments and an average of 8% of the portfolio was held in non-specified investments with other local authorities.

The report highlighted changes to the key prudential indicators, setting out an overview of the current status of the authority’s capital expenditure plans and provided further information in relation to the Council’s Investment Strategy 2020/21 to 2022/23.
