BARINGS TARGETED RETURN FUND 

Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity only provides its support via other charities
  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 3 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Income has been volatile recently and was substantially in excess of spending in the latest year
Established: 5 years
