Investments as at 31 March

Investments are defined in paragraph 82 of the Prudential Code (2017). This is the unadjusted principle amount of all outstanding external investment. It includes:

All external investments made by the authority, both short and longer-term, for any purpose.

They include:

All current and deposit accounts as well as overnight or longer-term deposits made with banks through the money markets.

All stocks, bonds, mortgages, equities, debentures, holdings of shares in wholly owned companies, airports etc.

All local authority funds and reserves, including those managed externally.

All external investments made in consortium with or on behalf of another authority or authorities. Where authorities invest as a consortium, the lead authority should include the total amount under investments and the contribution of other authorities under gross borrowing. Other authorities in the consortium should include their contribution in investments. Similarly, investments on behalf of other authorities should be shown as both investments and borrowing.

All external investments made in consortium with or on behalf of non-local government sector parties. As with investments with or for another authority or authorities, you should include the total amount under investments and the contribution of other parties under gross borrowing.

They exclude:

Any accounting adjustments, such as premiums and discounts, transactions costs, amortisation, fair value, accrued interest and effective interest rate adjustments.
