The Company has today, in accordance with DTR 6.3.5, released its Report and 
Audited Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2020. The Report will 
shortly be available via the Company's Portfolio Manager's website

SUMMARY INFORMATION 
 
The Company 
 
TwentyFour Income Fund Limited (the "Company") was incorporated with limited 
liability in Guernsey, as a closed-ended investment company on 11 January 2013. 
The Company's shares were listed with a Premium Listing on the Official List of 
the UK Listing Authority and admitted to trading on the Main Market of the 
London Stock Exchange on 6 March 2013. 
 
Investment Objective and Investment Policy 
 
The Company's investment objective is to generate attractive risk adjusted 
returns principally through income distributions. 
 
The Company's investment policy is to invest in a diversified portfolio of 
predominantly UK and European Asset Backed Securities. 
 
At an Extraordinary General Meeting held on 10 May 2019, Shareholders agreed to 
pass a resolution to update the Company's Investment Policy. Amended Investment 
Policy details are outlined below. Details of the prior Investment Policy can 
be found in the Company's Annual Financial Statements for the year ended 31 
March 2019. 
 
The Company will maintain a Portfolio diversified by issuer, it being 
anticipated that the Portfolio will comprise at least 50 Asset Backed 
Securities at all times. 
 
The Portfolio must comply, as at each date an investment is made, with the 
following restrictions: 
 
(i)         no more than 20 per cent. of the Portfolio value will be backed by 
collateral in any single country (save that this restriction will not apply to 
Northern European countries); 
 
(ii)        no more than 10 per cent. of the Portfolio value will be exposed to 
any single Asset Backed Security or issuer of Asset Backed Securities, but 
provided that where more than 5 per cent. of the Portfolio value is exposed to 
a single Asset Backed Security, these Asset Backed Securities in respect of 
which more than 5 per cent. of the Portfolio value is exposed, may not, in 
aggregate, make up more than 40 per cent. of the total Portfolio value of the 
Company; 
 
(iii)       no more than 15 per cent. of the Portfolio value will be exposed in 
aggregate to instruments not deemed securities for the purposes of FSMA, 
provided that no more than 3 per cent. of the Portfolio value will be exposed 
to any single such instrument; and 
 
(iv)       up to 10 per cent. of the Portfolio value may be exposed to Asset 
Backed Securities backed by collateral from several countries where, in 
addition to countries within the UK and Europe, one or more of the countries is 
outside of the UK and Europe. 
 
As an exception to the requirements set out above the Portfolio Manager will be 
permitted to purchase new investments at any time when the Portfolio does not 
comply with one or more of those restrictions so long as, at the time of 
investment: 
 
·             the asset purchased would be compliant with the single country 
restriction above (even where following the purchase more than 20 per cent. of 
the Portfolio will be backed by collateral in another single country due to 
market movements); 
 
·             the asset purchased would be compliant with the single Asset 
Backed Security/issuer exposure restriction above (even where following the 
purchase more than 10 per cent. of 
 
the Portfolio value will be exposed to any single Asset Backed Security or 
issuer of Asset Backed Securities, provided that Asset Backed Securities within 
the Portfolio to which more than 5 per cent. of the Portfolio value is exposed, 
may not make up more than 40 per cent. of the total Portfolio value of the 
Company); and 
 
·             such purchase does not make the Portfolio, in aggregate, less 
compliant with any of (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above. 
 
Uninvested cash or surplus capital or assets may be invested on a temporary 
basis in: 
 
·             cash or cash equivalents, namely money market funds or short term 
money market funds (as defined in the 'Guidelines on a Common Definition of 
European Money Market Funds' published by the Committee of European Securities 
Regulators (CESR) and adopted by the European Securities and Markets Authority 
(ESMA)) and other money market instruments (including certificates of deposit, 
floating rate notes and fixed rate commercial paper of banks or other 
counterparties having a "single A" or higher credit rating as determined by any 
internationally recognised rating agency selected by the Board which, may or 
may not be registered in the EU); and 
 
·             any "government and public securities" as defined for the 
purposes of the FCA Rules. 
 
The Company may employ gearing or derivatives for investment purposes. 
 
The Company may, from time to time, use borrowing for investment opportunities 
and short-term liquidity purposes, which could be achieved through a loan 
facility or other types of collateralised borrowing instruments including 
repurchase transactions or stock lending. The Company may have more than one, 
loan, repurchase or stock loan facility in place. The Company is permitted to 
provide security to lenders in order to borrow money, which may be by way of 
mortgages, charges or other security interests or by way of outright transfer 
of title to the Company's assets. In this case, the Directors will restrict 
borrowing to an amount not exceeding 25 per cent. of the Company's Net Asset 
Value at the time of drawdown. Derivatives may be used for currency hedging 
purposes as set out below and for efficient portfolio management. 
 
In accordance with the Listing Rules, the Company can only make a material 
change to its investment policy with the approval of its Shareholders by 
Ordinary Resolution. 
 
Target Returns 
 
The Company has a target annual net total return on the Company's NAV of 
between 6% and 9% per annum, which includes quarterly dividends with a target 
yield each financial year of 6% or higher, of the Issue Price.* 
 
Ongoing Charges 
 
Ongoing charges for the year ended 31 March 2020 have been calculated in 
accordance with the Association of Investment Companies (the "AIC") recommended 
methodology. The ongoing charges for the year ended 31 March 2020 were 0.96% 
(31 March 2019: 0.95%). 
 
* The Issue Price being GBP1.00. This is a target only and not a profit forecast. 
There can be no assurance that this target will be met or that the Company pay 
any dividends at all. This target return should not be taken as an indication 
of the Company's expected or actual current or future results. The Company's 
actual return will depend upon a number of factors, including the number of 
Ordinary Shares outstanding and the Company's total expense ratio. Potential 
investors should decide for themselves whether or not the return is reasonable 
and achievable in deciding whether to invest in or retain or increase their 
investment in the Company. Further details on the Company's financial risk 
management can be found in note 17 for further detail. 
 
Shareholder Information 
 
Northern Trust International Fund Administration Services (Guernsey) Limited 
(the "Administrator") is responsible for calculating the NAV per share of the 
Company. The unaudited NAV per ordinary redeemable share will be calculated as 
at the close of business on the last business day of every week and the last 
business day of every month by the Administrator and will be announced by a 
Regulatory News Service the following business day.

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT 
 
for the year ended 31 March 2020 
 
I am pleased to present my report on the Company's progress for the year ended 
31 March 2020. 
 
The Company's shares have typically traded at a premium since launch, and 
continued to do so during the first four months of the year, switching to a 
discount during the autumn due to a softening of the ABS market. This discount 
persisted until November 2019, due to a combination of NAV performance and a 
number of investors electing to participate in the three year exit facility, 
subsequently moving back to a premium. This premium continued into year-end and 
until the COVID-19 market sell-off in the latter part of the year. The large 
disparity between the Net Asset Value ("NAV") and the share price during March 
pushed the average discount during the year to 0.68%, and it moved in a range 
of +3.0% to -23.8% during the year. As at 21 July 2020, the discount had moved 
to -0.18%. The estimated NAV per share and mid-market share price stood at 
103.44p and 103.25p respectively. 
 
The Board is willing to continue to authorise the issuance of further shares 
based on the Portfolio Manager's confirmation that attractive investment 
opportunities are available in the market that enhance the portfolio. 
 
The NAV total return on the shares from launch to 31st March 2020 was 43.22% 
(including dividends paid). The NAV per share dropped 12.03% (including 
dividends paid) by year end largely driven by COVID-19 and the timing of the 
market sell-off relative to the Company's year-end. The income component of the 
return to investors remained strong; the Company declared three dividends of 
1.5p per share to cover the pro-rata minimum return of 6p per share, and 
announced a final dividend for the previous period covering all excess returns 
in respect of the year of 1.9p per share. 
 
The NAV performance of the Company has varied during the year. It was broadly 
positive during the first three months as European ABS spread performance 
caught up with corporate credit after a slow start to 2019, before some 
weakness was felt during August and September 2019, though prices rebounded 
strongly into the end of the year. However this has been completely 
overshadowed by the volatility felt across all financial markets since late 
February, as a result of the implications of a global shutdown in response to 
the COVID-19 pandemic. Fundamental performance of the asset pools and 
structures remained strong and stable at the period end, and ratings remained 
stable. However, a global recession is now expected and this will lead to an 
increase in arrears and loan defaults generally in both consumer and corporate 
lending markets, as well as a current increase in bonds being put on review for 
downgrade, which will likely lead to an increase in credit ratings downgrades 
in future. As an indication of the size of the move in spreads during the COVID 
market disruption, I understand that single-B rated CLOs, which are very much 
at the most volatile end of the Company's holdings, widened from a spread of 
795 basis points to over 2,000 basis points. They have since recovered to 
around 1,200 basis points. The impact of these kind of movements was a 20% 
reduction in the Company's NAV, with a subsequent ongoing recovery. 
 
As a result of the market moves seen at the end of the financial year, spreads 
in European ABS are now wider than they have generally been since the Company 
was launched. While underlying performance of the sector is expected to 
deteriorate, the dislocation between the performance implied by current pricing 
and what is expected means that the current opportunity set has become as, or 
more, interesting than it has been during the life of the Company. This will 
allow for additional capital to be issued should investor appetite demand it. 
 
Towards the end of the year I discussed with the Manager their transition to 
working from home, and was pleased to note, and observe from our ongoing 
interactions with them, that their systems were robust and allowed them to 
continue to manage the Portfolio with minimum impact as a result. I understand 
that from an early stage they planned to have the ability to work from home for 
the long term, albeit returning to their office once the effects of COVID-19 
have reduced to make it safe, efficient and optimal to do so. 
 
While I recognise the potential for volatility, in particular as the global 
lockdown and its impact on economic performance plays out, I believe the 
Company's structure remains an appropriate way for investors to invest in such 
assets. I remain confident of the Company's ability to fulfil its objectives. 
Although the market and portfolio have seen significant price volatility, we do 
not expect to see any of the investments default and so the loss to date is 
expected to be recovered as the portfolio's investments mature over subsequent 
periods. The Company's target continues to be to pay an annual dividend equal 
to the income generated by the portfolio. Short-term unrealised losses do not 
impact the Company's ability to pay a dividend. Should these losses endure for 
a longer period and should they subsequently be realised, it may be necessary 
to adjust the dividend target. The recovery of the Company's NAV post-year end 
has reduced the likelihood of this occurring. There has been no loss of 
expected income either, so the Company expects to pay dividends in line with 
its policy.

PORTFOLIO MANAGER'S REPORT 
For the year ended 31 March 2020 
 
Market Commentary 
 
The key themes that drove broader market sentiment through 2019 continued 
throughout the year, with central bank policy and the trade tariff dispute 
dominating the markets, while Brexit uncertainty remained heightened. A 
resolution to the US-China trade conflict emerged towards the end of the year, 
as did a convincing victory for the Conservative Party in the UK, which 
provided more certainty around the path of Brexit negotiations. These allowed 
for a more positive end to 2019 and start to 2020. However, shortly before the 
end of the period, the COVID-19 pandemic created significant market volatility 
as investors sold assets to create liquidity, and a global lockdown created the 
prospect of a global recession of uncertain length and severity. 
 
In April 2019, the Board of TwentyFour Income Fund announced the intention to 
issue new ordinary redeemable shares in response to ongoing demand, and due to 
the belief of both the Board and TwentyFour Asset Management that there was an 
opportunity to deploy additional funds with favourable returns. The capital 
raising of GBP80m saw significant demand, which was very successful against a 
backdrop of equity and wider market volatility during the subscription period. 
 
Sentiment in the European ABS market continued to improve throughout April 
2019, with the Brexit extension adding to the support following the successful 
refinancing of the large legacy Northern Rock mortgage portfolio transaction in 
March 2019. This strong technical support remained in contrast to the very 
limited amount of issuance in Q1, the market saw a healthy amount of 
well-diversified issuance. The UK market also saw its first Prime STS RMBS deal 
from Nationwide, which generated very strong demand. The deal was also notable 
in that it was the first publicly placed deal in the market referencing Sonia 
as its index, as opposed to Libor. The transition of UK issuers to the Sonia 
index increased during the period as expected, as the Bank of England continued 
to encourage a move away from fixing to Libor, which is due to be phased out at 
the end of 2021. 
 
May 2019 saw spreads perform initially on light supply, however as the pipeline 
built and corporate credit markets widened, the market started to see a little 
weakness seep into ABS performance. CLO issuance slowed but overall 
year-to-date performance, particularly in the AAA and mezzanine space, remained 
positive. Some of the focus on primary deals was at the shorter end, and there 
was a pick-up in CLO refinancing deals and continuation of the development of 
steeper tiering on a spread basis by manager, maturity and tranche rating. 
 
Markets rallied across the board in June 2019, with both risk-off and risk-on 
assets posting positive returns, as the Fed seemed to pacify the markets' call 
for lower rates, and as the outgoing ECB president, Mario Draghi, delivered a 
particularly dovish speech stating the ECB stood ready to act with additional 
stimulus if the outlook in Europe didn't improve. This naturally led to a 
strong rally in both European government bonds and credit, which filtered 
through to the European ABS market and later in the month we saw a compression 
in spreads. 
 
The momentum of primary ABS issuance continued unabated throughout July 2019 
against a fairly benign macro backdrop. With low levels of volatility, most 
deals were placed at the tighter end of guidance, with decent levels of 
oversubscription in mezzanine bonds in particular. Heavy issuance in CLOs led 
to spreads being a little weaker in the mezzanine tranches, which was 
understandable given the amount of supply. The deeper mezzanine spreads had 
been driven more by the manager and the quality of the underlying portfolio. 
Secondary spreads in the wider ABS market generally held in well over the 
month, trending sideways as opposed to widening in the face of heightened 
primary supply. 
 
Escalating trade wars, geopolitical events and deteriorating economic data 
combined to create a more vulnerable backdrop to risk markets through August 
2019, however the European ABS market was typically very quiet with virtually 
no primary public issuance. The market bounced back in September 2019 with a 
wide range of deals priced. Issuance over the month grossed around EUR9bn, 
subscription levels were very strong across all transactions, particularly in 
mezzanine bonds, and all tranches were priced at the tighter end of initial 
guidance. 
 
This positive tone continued through the autumn, buoyed by easing from the Fed 
and the announcement of a December 2019 general election in the UK to break the 
impasse in UK politics. The outlier in terms of spread performance continued to 
be BB and B rated CLOs, as supply continued to push spreads wider; however they 
later saw some reversal on a relative value basis to other markets. In contrast 
mezzanine consumer ABS performed well through autumn as dealers were low on 
inventory. 
 
Risk sentiment was positive in December 2019 as the US and China came to a 
'phase one' agreement on trade, cancelling tariff increases scheduled for 
mid-month. In addition a resounding success for the Conservatives in the UK 
election gave investors greater clarity around the direction of the Brexit 
negotiations. The ABS market was relatively quiet as expected. 
 
As 2019 ended the portfolio had been incrementally moved to a lower risk 
weighting, principally through a migration towards higher credit quality, and 
to a lesser extent shorter maturities. This had been in recognition of the 
continued build-up of risks external to the ABS market, including the Brexit 
negotiations, the US-China trade dispute and weakening macro-economic data, all 
of which had the potential to spill over into the ABS market as we had seen 
with similar periods in 2018 and 2016. 
 
For the first six weeks of 2020 the ABS market saw continued strong 
performance, characterised by heavily oversubscribed deals coming in the 
primary market and strong spread performance. However, this was against a 
backdrop of the lockdown of several cities in China as a response to the spread 
of COVID-19, and subsequently its spread on a global basis. By late February 
the ABS market saw a material reversion in risk sentiment, having previously 
lagged the negative moves seen in global equities and fixed income. Price 
declines were experienced across all parts of the market and the Company's 
portfolio. However there is a significant disconnect between the implied 
deterioration in loan pool performance of such price moves, and the current and 
expected performance of such pools. 
 
The impact on the market was two-fold. Initially there was significant demand 
for liquidity from portfolio managers who were experiencing outflows, and this 
was followed by hedge funds experiencing margin calls, creating forced selling 
and the depressing of prices immediately. As bank trading desks had come into 
the year relatively light on inventory, and having found it hard to add product 
in the competitive environment experienced at the start of the year, bid-offer 
spreads were pushed materially wider and with a lower risk tolerance as a 
result of regulatory capital requirements, material price declines were seen 
over the space of the next two weeks and markets became materially less liquid. 
The second effect was market pricing reflecting ongoing uncertainty around 
whether bonds would be called at their optional call dates, or whether the 
coupons would step-up and deals extend, which has the impact of further pushing 
prices down as the discounted price has to cover the required additional yield 
for a longer period of time. These moves were felt most strongly in the 
European CLO market, which always tends to experience the most volatility given 
its longer maturity profiles, its closer correlation with the European high 
yield market and its more specialised investor base. 
 
As the first quarter ended the market felt like it had found a degree of 
stability, with a wider range of bonds trading in the secondary market and a 
significant increase in liquidity as more participants, both bank trading desks 
and investors, sought to take advantage of spreads that were wider than they 
had been over the last decade. 
 
At year end, despite experiencing material price volatility, there were no 
defaulted assets nor any that were expected to default in future. 
 
Market Outlook 
 
The outlook is currently solely driven by the development of COVID-19 pandemic, 
which is likely to result in a global recession. The extent of the impact will 
be driven by the length of the global lockdown and the longevity of the impact 
of the economy. Specifically for the ABS market the impact on fundamental 
performance will be driven on the consumer side by obvious factors such as 
unemployment rates, but also by the extent to which lenders permit forbearance 
to distressed borrowers. It is worth noting that while headlines have made it 
clear lenders are being encouraged to offer forbearance, this has typically 
been lender policy anyway and is normally the first step in an arrears 
management process. This results in a deferral of interest payments rather than 
the permanent loss of interest or a default. It is for this reason that 
liquidity and general reserves are structured into ABS deals. 
 
Historically, in terms of corporate borrower risks, largely via allocation to 
CLOs, we have stress-tested transactions based on a dual approach of a severe 
recessionary scenario and assessing the level of underlying defaults that each 
tranche can withstand. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic we have added a 
scenario that more specifically targets underperformance in sectors more 
directly impacted, including retail, tourism, and transport, among others. The 
modelling output points encouragingly towards the worst case scenarios being 
interest deferral on a limited number of exposures within the portfolio, with 
such interest accruing and subsequently being paid in full with all principal 
also repaid. We do expect to the see the leveraged loan market experience a 
material increase in CCC ratings, downgrades, which will hurt CLO equity, and 
likely keep CLO spreads wider for longer. 
 
While we are currently seeing an increase in primary market activity, these are 
largely transactions postponed as a result of the recent market closure, and we 
expect supply to be materially lower than in recent years during the second 
half of the year. This is as a result of lower loan origination volumes in 
consumer lending, and also as the cost of incubating CLOs on bank balance sheet 
should become more expensive and harder to source. This lack of supply could 
support prices over a medium-term timeframe. However, should market sentiment 
become driven by either extension or gradual release from lockdown, we would 
expect that to be a more immediate driver of ABS pricing. In addition it should 
be expected that there will be ratings downgrades as economic performance 
weakens. 
 
Although coming into 2020 positioned for a degree of market volatility, the 
Company was not positioned for the unforeseeable arrival of COVID-19 and its 
effect on financial markets everywhere. As such, whilst benefiting to an extent 
from the portfolio's lower risk position, like most in the sector, the company 
was exposed to the ensuing price volatility. However, the opportunity set as it 
currently exists is extremely attractive, and lagging performance seen in other 
parts of fixed income. In markets such as those seen recently, the closed-ended 
structure allows optimal support for the strategy to access strong credits 
which we believe to be currently fundamentally mispriced.

STRATEGIC REPORT 
 
For the year ended 31 March 2020 
 
The Directors submit to the Shareholders their Strategic Report for the year 
ended 31 March 2020. 
 
Business Model and Strategy 
 
The Company is a closed-ended investment company, incorporated with limited 
liability in Guernsey. The Company has been granted exemption from income tax 
within Guernsey. It is the intention of the Directors to continue to operate 
the Company so that each year this tax-exempt status is maintained. 
 
Investment Objectives and Policy 
 
The Company's investment objective and policy is set out in the Summary 
Information. 
 
High Income 
 
The Ordinary Redeemable Shares are designed to offer a high dividend yield. The 
Board intends to pay quarterly interim dividends with equal amounts paid in 
June, September and December each year, with a final dividend paying the 
remaining income being paid in March. 
 
It is intended that the Company's income will consist wholly or mainly of 
investment income. The Directors intend to distribute substantially all of the 
Company's income after expenses and tax to the holders of the Ordinary Shares. 
 
The full year dividend per share for 2020 totalled 6.40p (2019: 6.45p) 
representing a yield of 97.65% on the total comprehensive income for the year. 
This dividend is in accordance with the dividend policy approved by 
shareholders at an extraordinary shareholders meeting in May 2019. 
 
Long Term Growth in Capital Value 
 
The asset value of the Company's portfolio is heavily influenced by external 
macro-economic factors. The Directors meet with the Investment Manager and 
Investment Advisers regularly to discuss the portfolio. Additional details are 
covered in the Chairman's Statement and Investment Advisers' Report. 
 
Business Environment 
 
Principal Risks, Emerging Risks and Uncertainties 
 
The Board is responsible for the Company's system of internal financial and 
reporting controls and for reviewing its effectiveness. The Board is satisfied 
that by using the Company's risk matrix as its core element in establishing the 
Company's system, internal financial and reporting controls while monitoring 
the investment limits and restrictions set out in the Company's investment 
objective and policy, that the Board has carried out a robust assessment of the 
principal risks and uncertainties facing the Company. The Board also regularly 
meets to discuss any emerging risks affecting the Company and to establish 
effective controls to manage them. 
 
Market Risk 
 
The underlying investments comprised in the portfolio are subject to market 
risk. The Company is therefore at risk that market events may affect 
performance and in particular may affect the value of the Company's investments 
which are valued on a marked to market basis. Market risk is risk associated 
with changes in market prices, including spreads, interest rates, economic 
uncertainty, changes in laws and political (national and international) 
circumstances. While the Company, through its investments in Asset Backed 
Securities, intends to hold a diversified portfolio of assets, any of these 
factors including specific market events, such as the global financial crisis 
and levels of sovereign debt, the ongoing negotiations over the UK's exit from 
the EU and the global COVID-19 pandemic, may have a material impact which could 
be materially detrimental to the performance of the Company's investments. As 
the process of the UK leaving the EU has no precedent, the Board and the 
Portfolio Manager regularly assess the risks and ongoing uncertainties and 
expect an ongoing period of market uncertainty as the implications are 
processed. 
 
The implications of the COVID-19 pandemic are discussed in further detail 
below. 
 
Under extreme market conditions the portfolio may not benefit from 
diversification. 
 
Liquidity Risk 
 
Investments made by the Company may be relatively illiquid and this may limit 
the ability of the Company to realise its investments and in turn pay 
dividends. Substantially all of the assets of the Company are invested in Asset 
Backed Securities. There may be no active market in the Company's interests in 
Asset Backed Securities. The Company does not have redemption rights in 
relation to any of its investments. As a consequence, the value of the 
Company's investments may be materially adversely affected. This risk is 
mitigated by active cash management and close monitoring. 
 
Credit Risk 
 
The Company may not achieve the Dividend Target and investors may not get back 
the full value of their investment because it is invested in Asset Backed 
Securities comprising debt securities issued by companies, trusts or other 
investment vehicles which, compared to bonds issued or guaranteed by 
governments, are generally exposed to greater risk of default in the repayment 
of the capital provided to the issuer or interest payments due to the Company. 
The amount of credit risk is indicated by the issuer's credit rating which is 
assigned by one or more internationally recognised rating agencies. This does 
not amount to a guarantee of the issuer's creditworthiness but generally 
provides a strong indicator of the likelihood of default. Securities which have 
a lower credit rating are generally considered to have a higher credit risk and 
a greater possibility of default than more highly rated securities. There is a 
risk that an internationally recognised rating agency may assign incorrect or 
inappropriate credit ratings to issuers. Issuers often issue securities which 
are ranked in order of seniority which, in the event of default, would be 
reflected in the priority in which investors might be paid back. The level of 
defaults in the portfolio and the losses suffered on such defaults may increase 
in the event of adverse financial or credit market conditions. 
 
In the event of a default under an Asset Backed Security, the Company's right 
to recover under the Asset Backed Security will depend on the ability of the 
Company to exercise any rights that it has against the borrower under the 
insolvency legislation of the jurisdiction in which the borrower is 
incorporated. As a creditor, the Company's level of protection and rights of 
enforcement may therefore vary significantly from one country to another, may 
change over time and may be subject to rights and protections which the 
relevant borrower or its other creditors might be entitled to exercise. Refer 
to the Investment Objective and Investment Policy for information regarding 
investment restrictions currently in place in order to manage credit risk. The 
credit ratings on the Company's underlying investments are disclosed in note 
17. 
 
Foreign Currency Risk 
 
The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk through its investments in 
predominantly Euro denominated assets. The Company's share capital is 
denominated in Sterling and its expenses are incurred in Sterling. The 
Company's financial statements are maintained and presented in Sterling. 
Amongst other factors affecting the foreign exchange markets, events in the 
Eurozone may have an impact upon the value of the Euro which in turn will 
impact the value of the Company's Euro denominated investments. The Company 
manages its exposure to currency movements by using spot and forward foreign 
exchange contracts, which are rolled forward periodically. 
 
Reinvestment Risk 
 
The Portfolio Manager is conscious of the challenge to reinvest any monies that 
result from principal and income payments and to minimise reinvestment risk as 
much as possible. Cash flow analysis is conducted on an ongoing basis and is an 
important part of the Portfolio Management process, ensuring such proceeds can 
be invested efficiently and in the best interests of the Company. 
 
The Portfolio Manager expects amortisations of around GBP45m over the next 12 
months, however, while market conditions are always subject to change, the 
Portfolio Manager does not currently foresee reinvestment risk significantly 
impacting the yield and affecting each quarter's minimum dividend. The 
Portfolio Manager also recognises the need to be opportunistic as and when 
market conditions are particularly favourable in order to reinvest any 
proceeds. 
 
Operational risks 
 
The Company is exposed to the risk arising from any failures of systems and 
controls in the operations of the Portfolio Manager, Administrator, AIFM, 
Custodian and the Depositary amongst others. The Board and its Audit Committee 
regularly review reports from the Portfolio Manager, AIFM, the Administrator, 
Custodian and Depositary on their internal controls, in particular, focussing 
on changes in working practices arising from the present COVID-19 pandemic. The 
Administrator, Custodian and Depositary will report to the Portfolio Manager 
any operational issues which will be brought to the Board for final approval as 
required. Since the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak, service providers have deployed 
business resilience policies to good effect and thus enabled continued business 
support with limited disruption to service. 
 
Accounting, legal and regulatory risks 
 
The Company is exposed to the risk that it may fail to maintain accurate 
accounting records or fail to comply with requirements of its Admission 
document and fail to meet listing obligations. The accounting records prepared 
by the Administrator are reviewed by the Portfolio Manager. The Portfolio 
Manager, Administrator, AIFM, Custodian, Depositary and Corporate Broker 
provide regular updates to the Board on compliance with the Admission document 
and changes in regulation. Changes in the legal or the regulatory environment 
can have a major impact on some classes of debt. The Portfolio Manager monitors 
this and takes appropriate action. 
 
Income recognition risk 
 
The Board considers income recognition to be a principal risk and uncertainty 
of the Company as the Portfolio Manager estimates the remaining expected life 
of the security and its likely terminal value, which has an impact on the 
effective interest rate of the Asset Backed Securities which in turn impacts 
the calculation of interest income. The Board asked the Audit Committee to 
consider this risk with work undertaken by the Audit Committee as discussed in 
the Audit Committee Report. As a result of the work undertaken by the Audit 
Committee, the Board is satisfied that income is appropriately stated in all 
material aspects in the Financial Statements. 
 
Cyber security risks 
 
The Company is exposed to risk arising from a successful cyber-attack through 
its service providers. The Company requests of its service providers that they 
have appropriate safeguards in place to mitigate the risk of cyber-attacks 
(including minimising the adverse consequences arising from any such attack), 
that they provide regular updates to the Board on cyber security, and conduct 
ongoing monitoring of industry developments in this area. The Board is 
satisfied that the Company's service providers have the relevant controls in 
place to mitigate this risk. 
 
Coronavirus Risk (COVID-19) 
Given recent events, COVID-19 changed from being an emerging risk to a 
principal risk, which has impacted global commercial activities. 
 
The Board has been monitoring the development of COVID-19 outbreak and has 
considered the impact it has had to date on the Company, and will continue to 
have on the future of the Company and the performance of the Portfolio. 
Notwithstanding the impact the outbreak has already caused on the Company's 
share price and NAV performance, there remains continued uncertainty about the 
development and scale of the COVID-19 outbreak. 
 
From an operational perspective, the Company uses a number of service 
providers. These providers have established, documented and regularly tested 
Business Resiliency Policies in place, to cover various possible scenarios 
whereby staff cannot turn up for work at the designated office and conduct 
business as usual. Since the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak, service providers have 
deployed these alternative working policies to ensure continued business 
service. 
 
Future Prospects 
 
The Board's main focus is to generate attractive risk adjusted returns 
principally through income distributions. The future to the Company is 
dependent upon the success of the investment strategy. The investment outlook 
and future developments are discussed in both the Chairman's Statement and the 
Portfolio Managers' report. 
 
Board Diversity 
 
When appointing new Directors and reviewing the Board composition, the 
Nomination Committee considers, amongst other factors, diversity, balance of 
skills, knowledge, gender, social and ethnic background and experience. The 
Nomination Committee however does not consider it appropriate to establish 
targets or quotas in this regard. As at 31 March 2020, the Board comprised of 
one female and three male Directors. The Company has no employees. 
 
Environmental, Social and Governance 
 
The Board") recognises the importance of Environmental, Social and Governance 
("ESG") factors in the investment management industry and the wider economy as 
whole. The Company is a closed-ended investment company with a limited purpose 
and without employees. As such, it is the view of the Board that the direct 
environmental and social impact of the Company is limited and that ESG 
considerations are most applicable in respect of the asset allocation decisions 
made for its portfolio. The Board is of the view that ESG factors should be 
considered when making an investment decision. The Company has appointed the 
Portfolio Manager to advise it in relation to all aspects relevant to the 
Investment Portfolio. The Portfolio Manager has a formal ESG framework which 
incorporates ESG factors into its investment process. The Portfolio Manager has 
an ESG steering group representing all areas of its business, which is governed 
by its Executive Committee. 
 
The Company does not have executive directors or employees. It has entered into 
contractual arrangements with a network of third parties (the "Service 
Providers") who provide services to it. The Service Providers, all have ESG 
policies in place. The Board undertakes annual due diligence on, and ongoing 
monitoring of, all such Service Providers including obtaining a confirmation 
that each such Service Provider complies with relevant laws regulations and 
good practice. 
 
Engagement and Voting 
 
Wherever possible, on behalf its investors, the Company is committed to 
actively engaging at a corporate, industry and regulatory level. The Company 
has contracted the Portfolio Manager to do this. It is noted that the 
Investment Portfolio is comprised primarily of fixed income assets. The voting 
rights attributable to these types of securities are usually limited in scope, 
and the opportunity to engage at a corporate level shall therefore in most 
cases be via interaction with senior management of companies during the due 
diligence process. 
 
The Company engages on behalf of its investors at industry and regulatory level 
primarily through its Service Providers, including the Portfolio Manager, the 
administrator, and through the TFIF membership of the Association of Investment 
Companies.

Position and Performance 
 
PRIIPs KIDs 
 
The Company has published a Key Information Document ("KID") in compliance with 
the Packaged Retail and Insurance-based Investment Products ("PRIIPs") 
Regulation. The KID can be found on the Company website at the below web 
address: 
 
https://twentyfouram.com/funds/twentyfour-income-fund/fund-literature/ 
 
The process for calculating the risks, cost and potential returns are 
prescribed by regulation. The figures in the KID may not reflect the expected 
returns for the Company and anticipated returns cannot be guaranteed. 
 
Key Performance Indicators ("KPIs") 
 
At each Board meeting, the Directors consider a number of performance measures 
to assess the Company's success in achieving its objectives. Below are the main 
KPIs which have been identified by the Board for determining the progress of 
the Company: 
 
·     Net Asset Value 
 
·     (Losses)/Earnings Per Share 
 
·     Share Price 
 
·     Discount/Premium to Net Asset Value 
 
·     Ongoing Charges 
 
·     Dividends Declared 
 
Net Asset Value 
 
The Net Asset Value ("NAV") per Ordinary Redeemable Share, including revenue 
reserve, at 31 March 2020 was 94.19p, based on net assets as at this date of GBP 
475,369,856 divided by number of Ordinary Redeemable Shares in issue of 
504,714,809 (31 March 2019: 113.28p based on net assets of GBP500,465,449 divided 
by number of Ordinary Redeemable Shares in issue of 441,814,151). 
 
Share Price 
 
The Share Price is the price per share per Ordinary Redeemable Share trading on 
the London Stock Exchange. 
 
On 31 March 2020, the share price was 88.00p (31 March 2019: 115.28p). 
 
(Loss)/Earnings per Share per Ordinary Redeemable Share - Basic and Diluted 
 
Losses/earnings per Ordinary Redeemable Share is calculated by dividing the net 
loss for the year of GBP64,860,249 (31 March 2019: net gain of GBP6,968,851) by the 
weighted average number of shares for the year of 503,905,681 (31 March 2019: 
402,734,014). 
 
Discount/Premium to NAV 
 
The discount/premium to NAV is a percentage difference in share price per share 
to the net asset value per share. It is calculated by subtracting the share 
price from the NAV per share and dividing it by the NAV per share. If the share 
price is lower than the NAV per share, the shares are trading at a discount. If 
the share price is higher than the NAV per Share, the shares are trading at a 
premium. 
 
On 31 March 2020, the discount to NAV was 6.57% (31 March 2019: premium of 
1.77%). 
 
Ongoing Charges 
 
Ongoing charges for the year ended 31 March 2020 have been calculated in 
accordance with the Association of Investment Companies (the "AIC") recommended 
methodology. The ongoing charges represent the Company's management fee and all 
other operating expenses, excluding finance costs, share issue or buyback costs 
and non-recurring legal and professional fees, expressed as a percentage of the 
average of the weekly net assets during the year. 
 
The ongoing charges for the year ended 31 March 2020 were 0.96% (31 March 2019: 
0.95%). The ongoing charges were calculated as follows: 
 
                                                             31.03.2020       31.03.2019 
 
                                                                      GBP                GBP 
 
Ongoing Charges

Total expenses                                                5,775,322        4,733,417

Dividends 
 
The Company maintains a dividend target of 6% of the issue price of 100.00p per 
year. If the target for the year is not met, a Continuation Vote is required. 
 
The dividend yield for the year ended 31 March 2020 was 6.40% (31 March 2019: 
6.45%) meaning that the Company met its dividend target for the current year.

Viability Statement 
 
Under the UK Corporate Governance Code, the Board is required to make a 
"viability statement" which considers the Company's current position and 
principal risks and uncertainties combined with an assessment of the prospects 
of the Company in order to be able to state that they have a reasonable 
expectation that the Company will be able to continue in operation over the 
period of their assessment. The Board considers that three years is an 
appropriate period to assess the viability of the Company given the uncertainty 
of the investment world and the strategy period. In selecting this period the 
Board considered the environment within which the Company operates and the 
risks associated with the Company. 
 
The Company's prospects are driven by its business model and strategy. The 
Company's aim is to provide investors with an attractive level of income with a 
high degree of certainty around that income and a focus on capital preservation 
in uncertain times, by investing in less liquid, high yielding asset backed 
securities. 
 
The Board's assessment of the Company over the three year period has been made 
with reference to the Company's current position and prospects, the Company's 
strategy, and the Board's risk appetite having considered each of the Company's 
principal risks, emerging risks and uncertainties summarised in Strategic 
Report Principal Risks and Uncertainties. 
 
The Board has also considered the Company's expected cash flows, income flows, 
its likely ability to pay dividends and analysis of the portfolio with 
reference to: 
 
·     liquidity analysis, including but not limited to, the changes in 
liquidity of the Company over time based on the liquidity of the underlying 
assets; 
 
·     foreign exchange analysis, including but not limited to, monitoring the 
effectiveness of the Company's foreign exchange hedging strategy; 
 
·     credit analysis, including but not limited to, analysing the current 
credit ratings and credit rating outlooks of the underlying securities by the 
main rating agencies, as well as sufficient diversification across sectors; 
 
·     valuation analysis, including but not limited to, assessing the pricing 
accuracy of the underlying securities; and 
 
·     Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions, including 
but not limited to, the fair value of securities not quoted in an active 
market, estimated life of asset backed securities and determination of 
observable inputs. 
 
In this context, the Board's central case is that the prospects for economic 
activity will remain such that the investment objective, policy and strategy of 
the Company will be viable for the foreseeable future through a period of at 
least three years from the year end, 31 March 2020. 
 
In making this judgement, the Board has assessed that the main risks to the 
viability of the Company are key global and market uncertainties driven by 
factors external to the Company which in turn can impact on the liquidity and 
NAV of the investment portfolio. A simulation has been designed to estimate the 
impact of these uncertainties on the NAV of the Company at times of stress, 
such as the UK's exit from the EU and the expected impact of COVID-19, based on 
historical performance data, using techniques which analyse how changes in the 
Company's ability to generate income (by assessing different levels of 
reinvestment rates available as well as changes in FX income generation, over a 
3-year period) would impact the annual dividend the Company is able to 
generate. All of the foregoing has been considered against the background of 
the Company's dividend target. 
 
Key assumptions covered by the Board in relation to the viability of the 
Company include: 
 
Dividend Target 
 
The ongoing viability of the Company and the validity of the going concern 
basis depend on the Company meeting its dividend target annually during the 
three-year period. In the event that the Company does not meet the dividend 
target annually, as disclosed in note 20, during the three-year period an 
Ordinary Resolution will be put to the Shareholders, at the AGM following any 
reporting period in which the dividend target is not met, with the continuation 
vote requirements set out in note 17. 
 
The Company's ability to continue to meet its dividend target is further 
disclosed in the Chairman's Statement. 
 
Realisation Opportunity 
 
The most recent realisation opportunity (full details are set out in note 17) 
occurred on 
12 September 2019. The next realisation opportunity is due to occur in 
September 2022. 
 
Loss for the Year 
 
During the year, the Company made a total comprehensive loss of GBP64,860,249 
(year ended 31st March 2019: a gain of GBP6,968,851). The majority of these 
losses were unrealised, were incurred between 21 February 2020 and 31 March 
2020 and resulted in an overall fall in the Company's NAV per share of -16.98%. 
Subsequent to year end, the drop in NAV per share between 21 February 2020 and 
30 June 2020 had recovered to -6.81%, evidencing some signs of recovery in the 
market. 
 
Market Uncertainty 
 
In the period 21 February 2020 to 31 March 2020, the largest contributor to the 
drop in market value was the Collateralised Loan Obligations ("CLOs") which 
contributed to a NAV per Share reduction of approximately -12.5% and a total 
return on the asset class of approximately -36.9%. This class of investment 
did, however, see the highest level of recovery post year end with the CLOs 
held by the Company delivering a total return of approximately +40.7% from 31 
March 2020 to 30 June 2020, which contributed approximately +11.6% to the 
overall NAV per Share total return during this post year-end period. 
 
Risk of Credit Losses 
 
The Portfolio Manager acknowledges that the risk of credit impairment and 
losses has increased due to the Covid-19 pandemic and continues to stress test 
the holdings of the Company, under new scenarios that specifically address the 
impact of the pandemic on individual loan pools, and analyse the performance of 
the underlying investments. Whilst future coupon interest deferrals may be seen 
on some specific deals, primarily CLOs, to date the Company expects any 
deferrals to be fully paid during the lifetime of each deal and that no credit 
losses are expected to occur , based on current information, on  all 
investments that the Company holds. 
 
Between 31 March 2020 and the date of signing, the Company's portfolio 
witnessed no defaults and no deferrals of interest payments. 
 
Section 172 statement 
 
Although the Company is domiciled in Guernsey, the Board has considered the 
guidance set out in the AIC Code in relation to Section 172 of the Companies 
Act 2006 in the UK. Section 172 of the Companies Act requires that the 
Directors of the Company act in the way they consider, in good faith, is most 
likely to promote the success of the Company for the benefit of all 
stakeholders, including suppliers, customers and shareholders.

Key Service Providers 
 
The Company does not have any employees and as such the Board delegates 
responsibility for its day to day operations to a number of key service 
providers. The activities of each service provider are closely monitored by the 
Board and they are required to report to the Board at set intervals. 
 
The Board also meets at least annually to consider the long- term strategy of 
the business, incorporating presentations and discussion on longer-term 
opportunities and threats to the business. Focus is placed on emerging risks 
which have the potential to disrupt the business model.

DIRECTORS' REPORT 
 
The Directors present their Annual Report and Audited Financial Statements for 
the year ended 31 March 2020. 
 
Business Review 
 
The Company 
 
TwentyFour Income Fund Limited (the "Company") was incorporated with limited 
liability in Guernsey, as a closed-ended investment company on 11 January 2013. 
The Company's Shares were listed with a Premium Listing on the Official List of 
the UK Listing Authority and admitted to trading on the Main Market of the 
London Stock Exchange on 6 March 2013. 
 
Investment Objective and Policy 
 
The Company's investment objective and policy is set out in the Summary 
Information. 
 
Discount/Premium to NAV 
 
The Board monitors and manages the level of the share price discount/premium to 
NAV. In managing this, the Company operates a share buyback facility whereby it 
may purchase, subject to various terms as set out in its Articles and in 
accordance with The Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008, up to 14.99% of the 
Company's Ordinary Redeemable Shares in issue immediately following Admission 
for trading on the London Stock Exchange. On 12 September 2019, a realisation 
opportunity was made under which investors were offered an opportunity to 
realise all or part of their Shareholding in the Company, with Shareholders 
opting to redeem 18,349,342 shares for a consideration of GBP20,050,326. 
Subsequently, the realisation opportunity, where shareholders may apply to 
redeem shares up to 56 days before the relevant annual general meeting date of 
the Company (the "Reorganisation Date"), will be offered at the annual general 
meeting of the Company every three years subject to the aggregate NAV of the 
continuing Ordinary Redeemable Shares on the last Business Day before 
Reorganisation being not less than GBP100 million. 
 
The next realisation opportunity is due to take place in September 2022. 
 
Following the publication of the updated AIC Code in February 2019, in the 
event that 20% or more of the Shareholder votes have been cast against a Board 
recommendation for a resolution, the Company should explain, when announcing 
the voting results, what actions it intends to take to consult Shareholders in 
order to understand the reasons behind the result. An update on the views 
received from Shareholders and actions taken should be published no later than 
six months after the Shareholder meeting. The Board should then provide a final 
summary in the annual report and, if applicable, in the explanatory notes to 
resolutions at the next Shareholder meeting on what impact the feedback has had 
on any decision, action or resolution subsequently proposed. There were no 
Board recommendations during the year which received such voting. 
 
Shareholder Information 
 
Shareholder information is set out in the Summary Information. 
 
Going Concern 
 
The Directors believe that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis 
in preparing the Financial Statements in view of the Company's holdings in cash 
and cash equivalents and the liquidity of investments and the income deriving 
from those investments, meaning the Company has adequate financial resources 
and suitable management arrangements in place to continue as a going concern 
for at least twelve months from the date of approval of the Financial 
Statements. 
 
The Company also achieved its dividend target of 6% of the issue price for the 
year ended 
31 March 2020, meaning that as per the Company's Articles, a Continuation Vote 
is not required. 
 
The Company's continuing ability to continue meeting its dividend target, along 
with the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, in light of the 
COVID-19 pandemic has been considered as part of the Viability Statement 
assessment. No material doubts to going concern have been identified. 
 
On 31 March 2020, the Company's cash balance was 0.30% of total net assets 
(2019: 7.29%). 
 
Post-year end, the Company has maintained a positive cash balance and continues 
to meet liabilities when they fall due. The Portfolio Manager considers that 
cash management plays a key part in the management of the fund and continuingly 
monitors such liabilities, such as the Company's quarterly dividends. 
 
Results 
 
The results for the year are set out in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. 
The Directors proposed dividends of GBP32,576,987 in respect of income available 
for distribution earned during the year ended 31 March 2020, a breakdown of 
which can be found in note 20. Dividends declared during the year amount to GBP 
31,822,157 as recognised in the Statement of Changes in Equity. 
 
Income available for distribution in any quarter comprises (a) the accrued 
income of the portfolio for the period, and (b) an additional amount to reflect 
any income purchased in the course of any share subscriptions that took place 
during the period (so as to ensure that the income yield of the shares is not 
diluted as a consequence of the issue of new shares during an income period) 
and (c) any income on the foreign exchange contracts created by the LIBOR 
differentials between each foreign currency pair, less (d) total expenditure 
for the period. 
 
The Company pays a dividend based on income earned, therefore even though the 
retained earnings balance as at 31 March 2020 was negative, this was caused by 
unrealised losses incurred towards the end of the year. These losses started to 
recover post year-end and have not affected the Company's ability to meet its 
dividend target. 
 
Portfolio Manager 
 
The Company entered into a Portfolio Management Agreement with TwentyFour Asset 
Management LLP, the Portfolio Manager, on 29 May 2014. Pursuant to this 
agreement, the Portfolio Manager is entitled to a portfolio management fee paid 
monthly in arrears, at a rate of 0.75% per annum of the lower of NAV, which is 
calculated as of the last business day of each month, or market capitalisation 
of each class of shares. For additional information, refer to note 15. 
 
The Board considers that the interests of Shareholders, as a whole, are best 
served by the continued appointment of the Portfolio Manager to achieve the 
Company's investment objectives. 
 
Alternative Investment Fund Manager 
 
Alternative investment fund management services have been provided by Maitland 
Institutional Services Limited ("Maitland") since their appointment as 
Alternative Investment Fund Manager ("AIFM") on 29 May 2014. The AIFM fee is 
payable quarterly in arrears at a rate of 0.07% of the NAV of the Company below 
GBP50 million, 0.05% on Net Assets between GBP50 million and GBP100 million and 0.03% 
on Net Assets in excess of GBP100 million. For additional information refer to 
note 16. 
 
Custodian and Depositary 
 
Custodian and Depositary services are provided by Northern Trust (Guernsey) 
Limited. The terms of the Depositary agreement, allow Northern Trust (Guernsey) 
Limited to receive professional fees for services rendered. For additional 
information, refer to note 16.

Corporate Governance 
 
The Board is committed to high standards of corporate governance and has 
implemented a framework for corporate governance which it considers to be 
appropriate for an investment company in order to comply with the principles of 
the UK Corporate Governance Code (the "UK Code"). The Company is also required 
to comply with the Code of Corporate Governance (the "GFSC Code") issued by the 
Guernsey Financial Services Commission. 
 
The UK Listing Authority requires all UK premium listed companies to disclose 
how they have complied with the provisions of the UK Code. This Corporate 
Governance Statement, together with the Going Concern Statement, Viability 
Statement and the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities, indicate how the 
Company has complied with the principles of good governance of the UK Code and 
its requirements on Internal Control. 
 
The Company is a member of the AIC and by complying with the 2019 AIC Code of 
Corporate Governance ("the AIC Code") is deemed to comply with both the UK Code 
and the GFSC Code. 
 
The Board has considered the principles and recommendations of the AIC Code and 
considers that reporting against these will provide appropriate information to 
Shareholders. To ensure ongoing compliance with these principles the Board 
reviews a report from the Corporate Secretary at each quarterly meeting, 
identifying how the Company is in compliance and identifying any changes that 
might be necessary. 
 
The AIC updated its Code on 5 February 2019 to reflect revised Principles and 
Provisions included in the UK Corporate Governance Code which was revised in 
2018. These changes applied from 
March 2019 onwards 
 
The AIC Code and the AIC Guide are available on the AIC's website, 
www.theaic.co.uk. The UK Code is available in the Financial Reporting Council's 
website, www.frc.org.uk. 
 
Throughout the year ended 31 March 2020, the Company has complied with the 
recommendations of the 2019 AIC Code and thus the relevant provisions of the UK 
Code, except as set out below. 
 
The UK Code includes provisions relating to: 
 
·     the role of the Chief Executive; 
 
·     Executive Directors' remuneration; 
 
·     Annually assessing the need for an internal audit function; 
 
·     The means for the workforce to raise concerns 
 
·     Remuneration Committee; and 
 
·     Nomination Committee. 
 
For the reasons set out in the AIC Guide, the Board considers the first three 
provisions are not relevant to the position of the Company as it is an 
externally managed investment company. The Company has therefore not reported 
further in respect of these provisions. The Board is satisfied that any 
relevant issues can be properly considered by the Board. 
 
The fourth point is not applicable to the Company, as it has no employees. 
 
The Board, as a whole, fulfils the function of a Nomination and Remuneration 
Committee and therefore no separate Nomination or Remuneration Committees are 
considered necessary, as disclosed in the Directors' Report. 
 
Details of compliance with the AIC Code are noted below. There have been no 
other instances of non-compliance, other than those noted above. 
 
The Company's risk exposure and the effectiveness of its risk management and 
internal control systems are reviewed by the Audit Committee at its meetings 
and annually by the Board. The Board believes that the Company has adequate and 
effective systems in place to identify, mitigate and manage the risks to which 
it is exposed. 
 
Role, Composition and Independence of the Board 
 
The Board is the Company's governing body and has overall responsibility for 
maximising the Company's success by directing and supervising the affairs of 
the business and meeting the appropriate interests of Shareholders and relevant 
stakeholders, while enhancing the value of the Company and also ensuring 
protection of investors. A summary of the Board's responsibilities is as 
follows: 
 
·     statutory obligations and public disclosure; 
 
·     strategic matters and financial reporting; 
 
·     risk assessment and management including reporting compliance, 
governance, 
 
monitoring and control; and 
 
·     other matters having a material effect on the Company. 
 
The Board's responsibilities for the Annual Report and Audited Financial 
Statements are set out in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities. 
 
The Board currently consists of four non-executive Directors, all of whom are 
considered to be independent of the Portfolio Manager and as prescribed by the 
Listing Rules. 
 
The Board considers it has the appropriate balance of diverse skills and 
experience, independence and knowledge of the Company and the wider sector, to 
enable it to discharge its duties and responsibilities effectively and that no 
individual or group of individuals dominates decision making. The Chairman is 
responsible for leadership of the Board and ensuring its effectiveness. Ian 
Burns served as Senior Independent Director throughout the year. 
 
Chairman 
 
The Chairman is Trevor Ash. The Chairman of the Board must be independent for 
the purposes of Chapter 15 of the Listing Rules. Trevor Ash is considered 
independent because he: 
 
·     has no current or historical employment with the Portfolio Manager; and 
 
·     has no current directorships in any other investment funds managed by the 
Portfolio Manager; 
 
The current Company policy for the maximum tenure of Chairman is nine years, 
which is in accordance with the AIC Code. 
 
Biographies of all the Directors can be found in Board Members. 
 
Board Role and Composition 
 
The Board is required to ensure that the Annual Report and Audited Financial 
Statements, taken as a whole, are fair, balanced and understandable and provide 
the information necessary for Shareholders to assess the Company's position and 
performance, business model and strategy. In seeking to achieve this, the 
Directors have set out the Company's investment objective and policy and have 
explained how the Board and its delegated Committees operate, and how the 
Directors review the risk environment within which the Company operates and set 
appropriate risk controls. Furthermore, throughout the Annual Report and 
Audited Financial Statements the Board has sought to provide further 
information to enable Shareholders to have a fair, balanced and understandable 
view. 
 
The Board has contractually delegated responsibility for the management of its 
investment portfolio, the arrangement of custodial and depositary services and 
the provision of accounting and company secretarial services. 
 
The Board is responsible for the appointment and monitoring of all service 
providers to the Company. 
 
The Directors are kept fully informed of investment and financial controls and 
other matters by all services providers that are relevant to the business of 
the Company and should be brought to the attention of the Directors. 
 
The Company has adopted a policy that the composition of the Board of 
Directors, which is required by the Company's Articles, comprises of at least 
two persons, that at all times a majority of the Directors are independent of 
the Portfolio Manager and any company in the same group as the Portfolio 
Manager; the Chairman of the Board of Directors is free from any conflicts of 
interest and is independent of the Portfolio Manager and of any company in the 
same group as the Portfolio Manager; and that no more than one director, 
partner, employee or professional adviser to the Portfolio Manager or any 
company in the same group as the Portfolio Manager may be a Director of the 
Company at any one time. 
 
The Board has also given careful consideration to the recommendations of the 
Davies Review. The Board has reviewed its composition and believes that the 
current appointments provide an appropriate range of skills, experience and 
diversity. In order to maintain its diversity, the Board is committed to 
continuing its implementation of the recommendations of the Davies Review as 
part of its succession planning over future years and by complying with the 
disclosure requirement of DTR 7.2.8 in terms of the Company's diversity policy. 
 
Directors' Attendance at Meetings 
 
The Board holds quarterly Board meetings, to discuss general management, 
structure, finance, corporate governance, marketing, risk management, 
compliance, asset allocation and gearing, contracts and performance. The 
quarterly Board meetings are the principal source of regular information for 
the Board enabling it to determine policy and to monitor performance, 
compliance and controls but these meetings are also supplemented by 
communication and discussions throughout the year. 
 
A representative of the Portfolio Manager, AIFM, Administrator, Custodian and 
Depositary and Corporate Broker attends each Board meeting either in person or 
by telephone thus enabling the Board to fully discuss and review the Company's 
operation and performance. Each Director has direct access to the Portfolio 
Manager and Company Secretary and may, at the expense of the Company, seek 
independent professional advice on any matter. 
 
Both appointment and removal of these parties is to be agreed by the Board as a 
whole. 
 
The Audit Committee meets at least twice a year, the Management Engagement 
Committee meets at least once a year and a dividend meeting is held quarterly. 
In addition, ad hoc meetings of the Board to review specific items between the 
regular scheduled quarterly meetings can be arranged. 
 
Between formal meetings there is regular contact with the Portfolio Manager, 
AIFM, Administrator, Custodian and Depositary and the Corporate Broker. 
 
Attendance at the Board and Committee meetings during the year was as follows: 
 
                            Quarterly Board   Audit Committee        Management  Ad hoc Committee

The number of meetings held indicates the meetings held during each Director's 
membership of the relevant Board or Committee during the year ended 31 March 
2020. 
 
Board Performance and Training 
 
During the prior year, the Board commissioned a review of its performance by 
external evaluation practitioner Trust Associates Limited. The review 
determined the Board's approach to corporate governance and its supervision of 
its regulatory compliance to be good. The review also determined the Board to 
be effective with independent thought and action with the right balance of 
skills and experience necessary for its proper functioning and the safeguarding 
of Shareholders' interests. 
 
Retirement and Re-Election 
 
Under the terms of their appointment, each Director is required to seek 
re-election on an annual basis. At the 19 September 2019 Annual General 
Meeting, Trevor Ash, Ian Burns and Richard Burwood were re-elected to the 
Board. At the same Annual General Meeting, Joanne Fintzen was elected to the 
Board for the first time, having been appointed Director on 7 January 2019. The 
Company may terminate the appointment of a Director immediately on serving 
written notice and no compensation is payable upon termination of office as a 
director of the Company becoming effective. 
 
Election of Directors 
 
The election of Directors is set out in the Directors' Remuneration Report. 
 
UK Criminal Finances Act 2017 
 
In respect of the UK Criminal Finances Act 2017 which has introduced a new 
Corporate Criminal Offence of 'failing to take reasonable steps to prevent the 
facilitation of tax evasion', the Board confirms that it is committed to zero 
tolerance towards the criminal facilitation of tax evasion. 
 
The Board also keeps under review developments involving other social and 
environmental issues, such as the General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"), 
which came into effect on 25 May 2018, and Modern Slavery, and will report on 
those to the extent they are considered relevant to the Company's operations. 
There are no findings to report at year end. 
 
Board Committees and their Activities 
 
Terms of Reference 
 
All Terms of Reference of the Board's Committees are available from the 
Administrator upon request. 
 
Management Engagement Committee 
 
The Board has established a Management Engagement Committee with formal duties 
and responsibilities. The Management Engagement Committee commits to meeting at 
least once a year and comprises the entire Board, with Richard Burwood serving 
as Chairperson. These duties and responsibilities include the regular review of 
the performance of and contractual arrangements with the Portfolio Manager and 
other service providers and the preparation of the Committee's annual opinion 
as to the Portfolio Manager's services. 
 
The Management Engagement Committee carried out a review of the performance and 
capabilities of the Portfolio Manager and other service providers at its 19 
September 2019 meeting and recommended the continued appointment of TwentyFour 
Asset Management LLP as Portfolio Manager is in the interest of Shareholders. 
The Committee also recommended that the appointment of all the Company's 
current service providers should continue. 
 
Audit Committee 
 
An Audit Committee has been established consisting of all Directors with Ian 
Burns appointed as Chairman. Trevor Ash, the Chairman of the Board is a member 
of the Audit Committee, as he is an independent, non-executive Director. The 
terms of reference of the Audit Committee provide that the committee shall be 
responsible, amongst other things, for reviewing the Interim and Annual 
Financial Statements, considering the appointment and independence of external 
auditors, discussing with the external auditors the scope and results from the 
audit and reviewing the Company's compliance with the AIC Code. 
 
Further details on the Audit Committee can be found in the Audit Committee 
Report. 
 
Nomination Committee 
 
There is no separate Nomination Committee, as all Directors are considered 
non-executive and independent. The Board as a whole fulfils the function of a 
Nomination Committee. Whilst the Directors take the lead in the appointment of 
new Directors, any proposal for a new Director will be discussed and approved 
by all members of the Board. 
 
Remuneration Committee 
 
In view of its non-executive and independent nature, the Board considers that 
it is not appropriate for there to be a separate Remuneration Committee. The 
Board as a whole fulfils the functions of the Remuneration Committee, although 
the Board has included a separate Directors' Remuneration Report of these 
Financial Statements. 
 
International Tax Reporting 
 
For purposes of the US Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, the Company 
registered with the US Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") as a Guernsey reporting 
Foreign Financial Institution ("FFI"), received a Global Intermediary 
Identification Number (8V9U53.99999.SL.831), and can be found on the IRS FFI 
list. 
 
The Common Reporting Standard ("CRS") is a global standard developed for the 
automatic exchange of financial account information developed by the 
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development ("OECD"), which has been 
adopted in Guernsey and which came into effect on 1 January 2016. 
 
The Board ensures that the Company is compliant with Guernsey regulations and 
guidance in this regard. 
 
Strategy 
 
The strategy for the Company is to target less liquid, higher yielding asset 
backed securities. These securities, whilst fundamentally robust, do not offer 
enough liquidity for use in the typical daily mark-to-market UCITs funds, but 
are well suited to a traded closed-ended vehicle, where investors can obtain 
liquidity by trading shares on the London Stock Exchange. This part of the 
fixed income market has been largely overlooked and therefore represents 
attractive relative value. The strategy aims to generate a dividend in the 
Reporting Period ending 31 March 2020 of 6 pence per Ordinary Share and in each 
subsequent Reporting Period such Dividend Target as the Directors determine at 
their absolute discretion from time to time, with all excess income being 
distributed to investors at the year-end of the Company. 
 
Internal Controls 
 
The Board is ultimately responsible for establishing and maintaining the 
Company's system of internal financial and operating control and for 
maintaining and reviewing its effectiveness. The Company's risk matrix 
continues to be the core element of the Company's risk management process in 
establishing the Company's system of internal financial and reporting control. 
The risk matrix is prepared and maintained by the Board which initially 
identifies the risks facing the Company and then collectively assesses the 
likelihood of each risk, the impact of those risks and the strength of the 
controls operating over each risk. The system of internal financial and 
operating control is designed to manage rather than to eliminate the risk of 
failure to achieve business objectives and by their nature can only provide 
reasonable and not absolute assurance against misstatement and loss. 
 
These controls aim to ensure that assets of the Company are safeguarded, proper 
accounting records are maintained and the financial information for publication 
is reliable. The Board confirms that there is an ongoing process for 
identifying, evaluating and managing the significant risks faced by the 
Company. 
 
This process has been in place for the year under review and up to the date of 
approval of this Annual Report and Audited Financial Statements and is reviewed 
by the Board and is in accordance with the AIC Code. 
 
The AIC Code requires Directors to conduct at least annually a review of the 
Company's system of internal financial and operating control, covering all 
controls, including financial, operational, compliance and risk management. The 
Board has evaluated the systems of internal controls of the Company. In 
particular, it has prepared a process for identifying and evaluating the 
significant risks affecting the Company and the policies by which these risks 
are managed. The Board also considers whether the appointment of an internal 
auditor is required and has determined that there is no requirement for a 
direct internal audit function. 
 
The Board has delegated the day to day responsibilities for the management of 
the Company's investment portfolio, the provision of depositary services and 
administration, registrar and corporate secretarial functions including the 
independent calculation of the Company's NAV and the production of the Annual 
Report and Financial Statements which are independently audited. 
 
Formal contractual agreements have been put in place between the Company and 
providers of these services. Even though the Board has delegated responsibility 
for these functions, it retains accountability for these functions and is 
responsible for the systems of internal control. At each quarterly Board 
meeting, compliance reports are provided by the Administrator, Company 
Secretary, Portfolio Manager, AIFM and Depositary. The Board also receives 
confirmation from the Administrator of its accreditation under its Service 
Organisation Controls 1 report. 
 
The Company's risk exposure and the effectiveness of its risk management and 
internal control systems are reviewed by the Audit Committee at its meetings 
and annually by the Board. The Board believes that the Company has adequate and 
effective systems in place to identify, mitigate and manage the risks to which 
it is exposed. Principal Risks and Uncertainties are set out below. 
 
Shareholder Engagement 
 
The Board welcomes Shareholders' views and places great importance on 
communication with its Shareholders. Shareholders wishing to meet the Chairman 
and other Board members should contact the Company's Administrator. 
 
The Portfolio Manager and Listing Sponsor maintain a regular dialogue with 
institutional Shareholders, the feedback from which is reported to the Board. 
 
The Company's Annual General Meeting ("AGM") provides a forum for Shareholders 
to meet and discuss issues of the Company and Shareholders with the opportunity 
to vote on the resolutions as specified in the Notice of AGM. The Notice of the 
AGM and the results are released to the London Stock Exchange in the form of an 
announcement. Board members will be available to respond to Shareholders' 
questions at the AGM. 
 
In addition, the Company maintains a website, www.twentyfourincomefund.com, 
which contains comprehensive information, including links to regulatory 
announcements, share price information, financial reports, investment objective 
and investor contacts. 
 
Significant Shareholdings 
 
Shareholders with holdings of more than 3.0% of the Ordinary Shares of the 
Company at 4 June 2020 (latest available) were as follows: 
 
Those invested directly or indirectly in 3.0% or more of the issued share 
capital of the Company will have the same voting rights as other holders of 
Shares. 
 
Disclosure of Information to Auditors 
 
The Directors who held office at the date of approval of these Financial 
Statements confirm that, so far as they are each aware, there is no relevant 
audit information of which the Company's auditor is unaware; and each Director 
has taken all the steps that they ought to have taken as a Director to make 
themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the 
Company's auditor is aware of that information. 
 
Independent Auditors 
 
A resolution for the reappointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers CI LLP will be 
proposed at the forthcoming AGM.

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES 
 
The Directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the Financial 
Statements in accordance with applicable Guernsey law and regulations. 
 
Guernsey company law requires the Directors to prepare Financial Statements for 
each financial year. Under that law they have elected to prepare the Financial 
Statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards 
("IFRS") and applicable law. 
 
The Financial Statements are required by law to give a true and fair view of 
the state of affairs of the Company and of the profit or loss of the Company 
for that period. 
 
In preparing these Financial Statements, the Directors are required to: 
 
-      select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 
 
-      make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 
 
-      state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, 
subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the Financial 
Statements; and 
 
-      prepare the Financial Statements on the going concern basis unless it is 
inappropriate to presume that the Company will continue in business. 
 
The Directors confirm that they have complied with these requirements in 
preparing the Financial Statements. 
 
The Directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which 
disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the 
Company and to enable them to ensure that the Financial Statements have been 
properly prepared in accordance with The Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008. They 
have general responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably open to 
them to safeguard the assets of the Company and to prevent and detect fraud and 
other irregularities. 
 
The Directors are responsible for the oversight of the maintenance and 
integrity of the corporate and financial information in relation to the Company 
website; the work carried out by the auditor does not involve consideration of 
these matters and, accordingly, the auditor accepts no responsibility for any 
changes that may have occurred to the financial statements since they were 
initially presented on the website. 
 
Legislation in Guernsey governing the preparation and dissemination of 
financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. 
 
The Directors confirm that to the best of their knowledge: 
 
(a)  The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS and 
give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and 
profit or loss of the Company as at and for the year ended 31 March 2020; and 
 
(b)  The Annual Report includes information detailed in the Corporate 
Information, Summary Information, Chairman's Statement, Portfolio Manager's 
Report, Top Twenty Holdings, Board Members, Disclosure of Directorships in 
Public Companies Listed on Recognised Stock Exchanges, Strategic Report, 
Directors' Report, Statement of Directors' Responsibilities, Directors' 
Remuneration Report, Audit Committee Report, Alternative Investment Fund 
Manager's Report and Depositary Statement and provides a fair review of the 
information required by: 
 
(i)         DTR 4.1.8 and DTR 4.1.9 of the Disclosure and Transparency Rules, 
being a fair review of the Company business and a description of the principal 
risks and uncertainties facing the Company; and 
 
(ii)        DTR 4.1.11 of the Disclosure and Transparency Rules, being an 
indication of important events that have occurred since the end of the 
financial year and the likely future development of the Company. 
 
In the opinion of the Board, the Financial Statements taken as a whole, are 
fair, balanced and understandable and provide the information necessary to 
assess the Company's performance, business model and strategy.

DIRECTORS' REMUNERATION REPORT 
 
The Directors' remuneration report has been prepared on behalf of the Directors 
in accordance with the UK Code as issued by the UK Listing Authority. An 
ordinary resolution for the approval of the annual remuneration report will be 
put to the Shareholders at the AGM to be held on 
23 September 2020. 
 
Remuneration Policy 
 
The Company's policy in regard to Directors' remuneration is to ensure that the 
Company maintains a competitive fee structure in order to recruit, retain and 
motivate non-executive Directors of excellent quality in the overall interests 
of shareholders. 
 
The Directors do not consider it necessary for the Company to establish a 
separate Remuneration Committee. All of the matters recommended by the UK Code 
that would be delegated to such a committee are considered by the Board as a 
whole. 
 
It is the responsibility of the Board as a whole to determine and approve the 
Directors' fees, following a recommendation from the Chairman who will have 
given the matter proper consideration, having regard to the level of fees 
payable to non-executive Directors in the industry generally, the role that 
individual Directors fulfil in respect of Board and Committee responsibilities 
and the time committed to the Company's affairs. The Chairman's remuneration is 
decided and approved separately by the Board as a whole. 
 
No element of the Directors' remuneration is performance related, nor does any 
Director have any entitlement to pensions, share options or any long-term 
incentive plans from the Company. 
 
Remuneration 
 
The Directors of the Company are remunerated for their services at such a rate 
as the Directors determine, provided that the aggregate amount of such fees 
does not exceed GBP150,000 per annum. 
 
Directors are remunerated in the form of fees, payable quarterly in arrears, to 
the Director personally. No Directors have been paid additional remuneration 
outside the normal Directors' fees and expenses. 
 
In the year ended 31 March 2020, the Directors received the following annual 
remuneration in the form of Directors' fees: 
 
                                               Annual    Additional         Total 
                                                  Fee          Fees          Fees 
                                                    GBP             GBP             GBP

Ian Burns (Audit Committee Chairman)           37,500         5,000        42,500 
 
Richard Burwood                                35,000         5,000        40,000 
 
Joanne Fintzen                                 35,000         5,000        40,000 
 
Total                                         147,500        20,000       167,500 
 
The annual fees are GBP40,000 for the Chairman, GBP37,500 for Audit Committee 
Chairman, and GBP35,000 for all other Directors. 
 
In May 2019, each Director received a further GBP5,000 each in relation to 
additional work carried out on the issue of new shares. 
 
The remuneration policy set out above is the one applied for the year ended 31 
March 2020 and is not expected to change in the foreseeable future. 
 
Directors' and Officers' liability insurance cover is maintained by the Company 
on behalf of the Directors. 
 
The Directors were appointed as non-executive Directors by letters of 
appointment. Each Director's appointment letter provides that, upon the 
termination of his/her appointment, he/she must resign in writing and all 
records remain the property of the Company. The Directors' appointments can be 
terminated in accordance with the Articles and without compensation. There is 
no notice period specified in the Articles for the removal of Directors. The 
Articles provide that the office of director shall be terminated by, among 
other things: (a) written resignation; (b) unauthorised absences from board 
meetings for six months or more; (c) unanimous written request of the other 
directors; and (d) an ordinary resolution of the Company. 
 
Under the terms of their appointment, each Director is required to seek 
re-election on an annual basis. At the 19 September 2019 Annual General 
Meeting, Trevor Ash, Ian Burns and Richard Burwood were re-elected to the 
Board. At the same Annual General Meeting, Joanne Fintzen was elected to the 
Board for the first time, having been appointed Director on 7 January 2019. The 
Company may terminate the appointment of a Director immediately on serving 
written notice and no compensation is payable upon termination of office as a 
director of the Company becoming effective. 
 
The amounts payable to Directors shown in note 15 were for services as 
non-executive Directors. 
 
No Director has a service contract with the Company, nor are any such contracts 
proposed.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT 
 
We present the Audit Committee's Report, setting out the responsibilities of 
the Audit Committee and its key activities for the year ended 31 March 2020. 
 
The Audit Committee has continued its detailed scrutiny of the appropriateness 
of the Company's system of risk management and internal controls, the 
robustness and integrity of the Company's financial reporting, along with the 
external audit process. The Committee has devoted time to ensuring that the 
internal financial and operating controls and processes have been properly 
established, documented and implemented. 
 
During the course of the year, the information that the Audit Committee has 
received has been timely and clear and has enabled the Audit Committee to 
discharge its duties effectively. 
 
The Audit Committee supports the aims of the UK Code and the best practice 
recommendations of other corporate governance organisations such as the AIC, 
and believes that reporting against the revised AIC Code allows the Audit 
Committee to further strengthen its role as a key independent oversight 
Committee. 
 
Role and Responsibilities 
 
The primary function of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board in 
fulfilling its oversight responsibilities. This includes reviewing the 
financial reports and other financial information and any significant financial 
judgement contained therein, before publication. 
 
In addition, the Audit Committee reviews the systems of internal financial and 
operating controls on a continuing basis that the Administrator, Portfolio 
Manager, AIFM, and Custodian Depositary and the Board have established with 
respect to finance, accounting, risk management, compliance, fraud and audit. 
The Audit Committee also reviews the accounting and financial reporting 
processes, along with reviewing the roles, independence and effectiveness of 
the external auditor. 
 
The ultimate responsibility for reviewing and approving the Annual and Interim 
Financial Statements remains with the Board. 
 
The Audit Committee's full terms of reference can be obtained by contacting the 
Company's Administrator. 
 
Risk Management and Internal Control 
 
The Board, as a whole, considers the nature and extent of the Company's risk 
management framework and the risk profile that is acceptable in order to 
achieve the Company's strategic objectives. As a result, it is considered that 
the Board has fulfilled its obligations under the AIC Code. 
 
The Audit Committee continues to be responsible for reviewing the adequacy and 
effectiveness of the Company's ongoing risk management systems and processes. 
Its system of internal controls, along with its design and operating 
effectiveness, is subject to review by the Audit Committee through reports 
received from the Portfolio Manager, AIFM and Custodian and Depositary, along 
with those from the Administrator and external auditor. 
 
Fraud, Bribery and Corruption 
 
The Audit Committee, in conjunction with the Management Engagement Committee, 
has relied on the overarching requirement placed on the service providers under 
the relevant agreements to comply with applicable law, including anti-bribery 
laws. A review of the service provider policies took place at the Management 
Engagement Committee Meeting, held on 19 September 2019. The Board receives 
regular confirmation from all service providers that there has been no fraud, 
bribery or corruption. 
 
Financial Reporting and Significant Financial Issues 
 
The Audit Committee assesses whether suitable accounting policies have been 
adopted and whether the Portfolio Manager has made appropriate estimates and 
judgements. The Audit Committee reviews accounting papers prepared by the 
Portfolio Manager and Administrator which provide details on the main financial 
reporting judgements. 
 
The Audit Committee also reviews reports by the external auditors which 
highlight any issues with respect to the work undertaken on the audit. 
 
The significant issues considered during the year by the Audit Committee in 
relation to the Financial Statements and how they were addressed are detailed 
below: 
 
(i) Valuation of investments: 
 
The Company's investments had a fair value of GBP481,313,740 as at 31 March 2020 
(31 March 2019: GBP491,596,605) and represent a substantial portion of net assets 
of the Company. As such this is the largest factor in relation to the 
consideration of the Financial Statements. These investments are valued in 
accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 2 to the Financial 
Statements. In March 2020, the committee carried out an on-site review of the 
revaluation processes, systems and controls at the London offices of the 
Portfolio Manager. By this and through regular reporting during the year by the 
Portfolio Manager, AIFM, Administrator, Custodian and Depositary the Audit 
Committee satisfied itself that both the sources of price information and 
valuation process itself are robust and reliable, and considered the valuation 
of the investments held by the Company as at 31 March 2020 to be reasonable. 
 
(ii) Income Recognition: 
 
The Audit Committee considered the calculation of income from investments 
recorded in the Financial Statements as at 31 March 2020. As disclosed in note 
3(ii)(b) of the Notes to the Financial Statements, the estimated life of Asset 
Backed Securities is determined by the Portfolio Manager, impacting the 
effective interest rate of the Asset Backed Securities which in turn impacts 
the calculation of income from investments. The Audit Committee reviewed the 
Portfolio Manager's process for determining the expected life of the Company's 
investments and found it to be reasonable based on the explanations provided 
and information obtained from the Portfolio Manager. The Audit Committee is 
therefore satisfied that income is correctly stated in the Financial 
Statements. 
 
As the extent of COVID-19 and its impact become ever more apparent the Audit 
Committee has also been working very closely with the Portfolio Manager to 
ensure the annual report and accounts remain valid and reflect Company's 
position as at the date of signing. 
 
Following a review of the presentations and reports from the Portfolio Manager 
and Administrator and consulting where necessary with the external auditor, the 
Audit Committee is satisfied that the Financial Statements appropriately 
address the critical judgements and key estimates (both in respect to the 
amounts reported and the disclosures). The Audit Committee is also satisfied 
that the significant assumptions used for determining the value of assets and 
liabilities have been appropriately scrutinised, challenged and are 
sufficiently robust. 
 
The Company's reporting currency is Sterling while a significant proportion of 
the investments owned are denominated in foreign currencies. The Company 
operates a hedging strategy designed to mitigate the impact of foreign currency 
rate changes on the performance of the fund. The Audit Committee has used 
information from the Administrator and Portfolio Manager to satisfy itself 
concerning the effectiveness of the hedging process, as well as to confirm that 
realised and unrealised foreign currency gains and losses have been correctly 
recorded. 
 
At the request of the Audit Committee, the Administrator confirmed that it was 
not aware of any material misstatements including matters relating to Financial 
Statement presentation. At the Audit Committee meeting to review the Annual 
Report and Audited Financial Statements, the Audit Committee received and 
reviewed a report on the audit from the external auditors. On the basis of its 
review of this report, the Audit Committee is satisfied that the external 
auditor has fulfilled its responsibilities with diligence and professional 
scepticism. The Audit Committee advised the Board that these Annual Financial 
Statements, taken as a whole, are fair, balanced and understandable. 
 
The Audit Committee is satisfied that the judgements made by the Portfolio 
Manager and Administrator are reasonable, and that appropriate disclosures have 
been included in the Financial Statements. 
 
Going Concern 
 
The going concern basis can be found in the Directors' Report. 
 
External Auditors 
 
The Audit Committee has responsibility for making a recommendation on the 
appointment, re-appointment and removal of the external auditors. 
PricewaterhouseCoopers CI LLP ("PwC") was appointed as the first auditors of 
the Company. During the year, the Audit Committee received and reviewed audit 
plans and reports from the external auditors. It is standard practice for the 
external auditors to meet privately with the Audit Committee without the 
Portfolio Manager and other service providers being present at each Audit 
Committee meeting. 
 
To assess the effectiveness of the external audit process, the auditors were 
asked to articulate the steps that they have taken to ensure objectivity and 
independence, including where the auditor provides non-audit services. The 
Audit Committee monitors the auditors' performance, behaviour and effectiveness 
during the exercise of their duties, which informs the decision to recommend 
reappointment on an annual basis. 
 
During the year, the Committee performed its annual review of the independence, 
effectiveness and objectivity of the external auditor and considered the 
Financial Reporting Council's ("FRC") Audit Quality Review of PwC's previous 
audit work. The Committee concluded that the effectiveness of the external 
auditor and the audit process were satisfactory and recommend to the Board the 
reappointment of PwC as external auditor for the 2020 financial year. Roland 
Mills became engagement partner for the 31 March 2019 audit. 
 
As a general rule, the Company does not utilise external auditors for internal 
audit purposes, secondments or valuation advice. Services which do not 
compromise auditor independence, such as tax compliance, tax structuring, 
private letter rulings, accounting advice, quarterly reviews and disclosure

The Audit committee has regular discussions with the auditor regarding their 
ongoing independence. The Audit Committee have noted the Revised Ethical 
Standard 2019 issued by the FRC in December 2019 have confirmed with the 
auditor that the impact on the current relationship with the auditor will 
remain largely unaffected with the largest impact being that the Reportable 
Income Distribution work undertaken above will have to be undertaken in future 
periods by a separate service provider and the Audit Committee will nominate 
and appoint a new service provider in due course. 
 
For any questions on the activities of the Audit Committee not addressed in the

                The company is incorporated and based in Guernsey. 
 
                We conducted our audit of the financial statements from information 
                provided by Northern Trust International Fund Administration Services 
                (Guernsey) Limited (the "Administrator") to whom the Board of 
                directors (the "Board") has delegated the administration function. The 
                company engages TwentyFour Asset Management LLP (the "Portfolio

                interaction with both the Administrator and the Portfolio Manager 
                during our audit. 
 
                We conducted all of our audit work in Guernsey.

Audit scope 
 
As part of designing our audit, we determined materiality and assessed the 
risks of material misstatement in the financial statements. In particular, we 
considered where the directors made subjective judgements; for example, in 
respect of significant accounting estimates that involved making assumptions 
and considering future events that are inherently uncertain. As in all of our 
audits, we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, 
including among other matters, consideration of whether there was evidence of 
bias that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud. 
 
We tailored the scope of our audit in order to perform sufficient work to 
enable us to provide an opinion on the financial statements as a whole, taking 
into account the structure of the company, the accounting processes and 
controls, and the industry in which the company operates. 
 
Materiality 
 
The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. An 
audit is designed to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial 
statements are free from material misstatement. Misstatements may arise due to 
fraud or error. They are considered material if individually or in aggregate, 
they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users 
taken on the basis of the financial statements. 
 
Based on our professional judgement, we determined certain quantitative 
thresholds for materiality, including the overall company materiality for the 
financial statements as a whole as set out in the table below. These, together 
with qualitative considerations, helped us to determine the scope of our audit 
and the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the 
effect of misstatements, both individually and in aggregate on the financial 
statements as a whole. 
 
Overall Company materiality               GBP8.1 million (2019: GBP11.3 million) 
 
How we determined it                      1.75% of net assets (2019: 2.25% of net 
                                          assets) 
 
Rationale for the materiality benchmark   We believe that net assets is the most 
                                          appropriate benchmark because this is the 
                                          key metric of interest to investors.  We 
                                          reduced materiality for the current year 
                                          end to reflect the increase in fraud and 
                                          other risks that uncertain and volatile 
                                          financial markets can have on businesses. 
 
We agreed with the Audit Committee that we would report to them misstatements 
identified during our audit above GBP404,500, as well as misstatements below that 
amount that, in our view, warranted reporting for qualitative reasons. 
 
Key audit matters 
 
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of 
most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current 
period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the 
financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do 
not provide a separate opinion on these matters. 
 
Key audit matter                How our audit addressed the Key audit matter

                                an appropriate level to each security in accordance 
                                with the policy, by evaluating a sample of the fair 
                                value hierarchy changes from Level 3 to Level 2. 
                                We also discussed and evaluated management's 
                                approach to assessing and, if necessary, measuring 
                                the impact of COVID-19 on the fair value of the 
                                investment portfolio. 
                                No significant issues or concerns were noted with

                                In the period from 21 February to 31 March 2020, the 
                                Board noted the company's NAV per share was 
                                negatively impacted by the market volatility caused 
                                by COVID-19, dropping by 17% in March 2020 
                                (predominantly driven by the valuation of the 
                                collateralised loan obligations ("CLOs") in the 
                                portfolio,which contributed an overall drop of 13% 
                                in the NAV). However, the Board considered the fact 
                                that the NAV had largely recovered, increasing by 
                                10% during the three months post year end (the CLOs 
                                had recovered significantly, contributing a 11% 
                                increase in NAV per share) as a positive indicator

                                assessments of the company; 
                                The Board have confirmed with the company's service 
                                providers that they have appropriate business 
                                continuity plans in place and that they have shifted 
                                to working from home or other flexible working 
                                arrangements. The Board have deemed these business 
                                continuity plans to be operating effectively, 
                                especially in Guernsey where there have been no new 
                                cases of COVID-19 reported for over 70 days. The

                                functionalities; 
                                As at 31 March 2020 the Board noted that the company 
                                had cash and cash equivalents of 0.30% of total net 
                                assets, and that post year end the company has 
                                maintained a positive cash balance and continues to 
                                meet liabilities when they fall due; and 
                                Subsequent to the year end, the company has also 
                                raised, with the authority of the Board, additional 
                                capital of GBP3.5m by issuing 3.8m shares, which the 
                                Board believes further demonstrates the company's 
                                viability to investors. 
                                Based on our procedures and the information 
                                available at the time of the Board's approval of the 
                                financial statements, we have not identified any 
                                matters to report with respect to the Board's 
                                consideration and disclosure of the impact of 
                                COVID-19 on the current and future operations of the 
                                company. 
 
Other information 
 
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information 
comprises all the information included in the Annual Report and Audited 
Financial Statements (the "Annual Report") but does not include the financial 
statements and our auditor's report thereon. 
 
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information 
and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 
 
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is 
to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider 
whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial 
statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be 
materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that 
there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to 
report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. 
 
______________________________________________________________________________________ 
 
Responsibilities of the directors for the financial statements 
 
The directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements 
that give a true and fair view in accordance with International Financial 
Reporting Standards, the requirements of Guernsey law and for such internal 
control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of 
financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to 
fraud or error. 
 
In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for 
assessing the company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as 
applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis 
of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the company or to 
cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 
 
______________________________________________________________________________________ 
 
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements 
 
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial 
statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud 
or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. 
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that 
an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material 
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and 
are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably 
be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of 
these financial statements. 
 
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgement 
and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: 
 
·     Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial 
statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures 
responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and 
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a 
material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting 
from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, 
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control; 
 
·     Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in 
order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but 
not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the 
company's internal control; 
 
·     Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the 
reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the 
directors; 
 
·     Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors use of the going concern 
basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a 
material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast 
significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern over 
a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of the financial 
statements. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required 
to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the 
financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our 
opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the 
date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause 
the company to cease to continue as a going concern, and 
 
·     Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial 
statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements 
represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair 
presentation. 
 
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other 
matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit 
findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we 
identify during our audit. 
 
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have 
complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to 
communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably 
be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related 
safeguards. 
 
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine 
those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial 
statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We 
describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation 
precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare 
circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our 
report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be 
expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication. 
 
______________________________________________________________________________________ 
 
Use of this report 
 
This independent auditor's report, including the opinions, has been prepared 
for and only for the members as a body in accordance with Section 262 of The 
Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008 and for no other purpose. We do not, in giving 
these opinions, accept or assume responsibility for any other purpose or to any 
other person to whom this report is shown or into whose hands it may come save 
where expressly agreed by our prior consent in writing. 
 
______________________________________________________________________________________ 
 
Report on other legal and regulatory requirements 
 
Company Law exception reporting 
 
Under The Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008 we are required to report to you if, 
in our opinion: 
 
·     we have not received all the information and explanations we require for 
our audit; 
 
·     proper accounting records have not been kept; or 
 
·     the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting 
records. 
 
We have no exceptions to report arising from this responsibility. 
 
Listing Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) 
 
The company has reported compliance against the 2019 AIC Code of Corporate 
Governance (the "Code") which has been endorsed by the UK Financial Reporting 
Council as being consistent with the UK Corporate Governance Code for the 
purposes of meeting the company's obligations, as an investment company, under 
the Listing Rules of the FCA. 
 
We have nothing material to add or draw attention to in respect of the 
following matters which we have reviewed based on the requirements of the 
Listing Rules of the FCA: 
 
·     The directors' confirmation that they have carried out a robust 
assessment of the principal and emerging risks facing the company, including a 
description of the principal risks, what procedures are in place to identify 
emerging risks, and an explanation of how those risks are being managed or 
mitigated, and 
 
·     The directors' explanation as to how they have assessed the prospects of 
the company, over what period they have done so and why they consider that 
period to be appropriate, and their statement as to whether they have a 
reasonable expectation that the company will be able to continue in operation 
and meet its liabilities as they fall due over the period of their assessment, 
including any related disclosures drawing attention to any necessary 
qualifications or assumptions. 
 
We have nothing to report having performed a review of the directors' statement 
that they have carried out a robust assessment of the principal and emerging 
risks facing the company and the directors' statement in relation to the 
longer-term viability of the company. Our review was substantially less in 
scope than an audit and only consisted of making inquiries and considering the 
directors' process supporting their statements; checking that the statements 
are in alignment with the relevant provisions of the Code; and considering 
whether the statements are consistent with the knowledge and understanding of 
the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit. 
 
Additionally, we have nothing to report in respect of our responsibility to 
report when: 
 
·     The directors' statement relating to Going Concern in accordance with 
Listing Rule 9.8.6R(3) is materially inconsistent with our knowledge obtained 
in the audit; 
 
·     The statement given by the directors that they consider the Annual Report 
taken as a whole to be fair, balanced and understandable, and provides the 
information necessary for the members to assess the company's position and 
performance, business model and strategy is materially inconsistent with our 
knowledge of the company obtained in the course of performing our audit; 
 
·     The section of the Annual Report describing the work of the Audit 
Committee does not appropriately address matters communicated by us to the 
Audit Committee, and 
 
·     The directors' statement relating to the company's compliance with the 
Code does not properly disclose a departure from a relevant provision of the 
Code specified, under the Listing Rules, for review by the auditors.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
 
for the year ended 31 March 2020 
 
1.   General Information 
 
TwentyFour Income Fund Limited (the "Company") was incorporated with limited 
liability in Guernsey, as a closed-ended investment company on 11 January 2013. 
The Company's Shares were listed with a Premium Listing on the Official List of 
the UK Listing Authority and admitted to trading on the Main Market of the 
London Stock Exchange on 6 March 2013. 
 
The Company's investment objective and policy is set out in the Summary 
Information. 
 
The Portfolio Manager of the Company is TwentyFour Asset Management LLP (the 
"Portfolio Manager"). 
 
2.   Principal Accounting Policies 
 
      a) Statement of Compliance 
 
The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International 
Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International 
Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and are in compliance with The Companies 
(Guernsey) Law, 2008. 
 
b) Presentation of Information 
 
The Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under the 
historical cost convention adjusted to take account of the revaluation of the 
Company's financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or 
loss. 
 
c) Standards, Amendments and Interpretations Effective during the Year 
 
At the reporting date of these Financial Statements, the following standards, 
interpretations and amendments, were adopted for the year ended 31 March 2020: 
 
- IFRS 16 Leases 
 
The Company expects that the adoption of IFRS 16 in the future period will not 
have an impact on the Company's Financial Statements, as it does not hold any 
leases. 
 
d) Standards, Amendments and Interpretations Issued but not yet Effective 
 
At the reporting date of these Financial Statements, the following standards, 
interpretations and amendments, which have not been applied in these Financial 
Statements, were in issue but not yet effective: 
 
- IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts (Effective 1 January 2021) 
 
The Company expects that the adoption of IFRS 17 in the future period will not 
have an impact on the Company's Financial Statements, as it does not hold any 
insurance contracts. 
 
e) Financial Assets at Fair Value through Profit or Loss 
 
Classification 
 
The Company classifies its investments in debt securities and derivatives as 
financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. 
 
Financial assets and financial liabilities designated at fair value through 
profit or loss at inception are financial instruments that are not classified 
as held for trading but are managed and their performance is evaluated on a 
fair value basis in accordance with the Company's business model per IFRS 9. 
 
The Company's policy requires the Portfolio Manager and the Board of Directors 
to evaluate the information about these financial assets and liabilities on a 
fair value basis together with other related financial information. 
 
Recognition, Derecognition and Measurement 
 
Regular purchases and sales of investments are recognised on the trade date - 
the date on which the Company commits to purchase or sell the investment. 
Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss 
are initially recognised at fair value. Transaction costs are expensed as 
incurred in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Financial assets are 
derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have 
expired or the Company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of 
ownership. 
 
Investments in Asset Backed Securities are the purchase of an interest in pools 
of loans. The investment characteristics of Asset Backed Securities are such 
that principal payments are made more frequently than traditional debt 
securities. The principal may be repaid at any time because the underlying debt 
or other assets generally may be repaid at any time. 
 
The Company records these principal repayments as they arise and realises a 
gain or loss in the net gains on financial assets at fair value through profit 
or loss in the Statement of Comprehensive Income in the period in which they 
occur. 
 
The interest income arising on these securities is recognised within income in 
the Statement of Comprehensive Income. 
 
Fair Value Estimation 
 
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to 
transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at 
the measurement date. Investments in Asset Backed Securities are fair valued in 
accordance with either i) or ii) below and the change in fair value, if any, is 
recorded as net gains/(losses) on financial assets/(liabilities) at fair value 
through profit or loss in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. 
 
i) Asset Backed Securities Traded or Dealt on an Active Market or Exchange 
 
Asset Backed Securities that are traded or dealt on an active market or 
exchange are valued by reference to their quoted mid-market price as at the 
close of trading on the reporting date as management deem the mid-market price 
to be a reasonable approximation of an exit price. 
 
ii) Asset Backed Securities not Traded or Dealt on an Active Market or Exchange 
 
Asset Backed Securities which are not traded or dealt on active markets or 
exchanges are valued by reference to their price, as at the close of business 
on the reporting date as determined by an independent price vendor. If a price 
cannot be obtained from an independent price vendor, or where the Portfolio 
Manager determines that the provided price is not an accurate representation of 
the fair value of the Asset Backed Security, the Portfolio Manager will source 
prices at the close of business on the reporting date from third party broker/ 
dealer quotes for the relevant security. 
 
Forward foreign currency contracts 
 
Forward foreign currency contracts are derivative contracts and as such are 
recognised at fair value on the date on which they are entered into and 
subsequently measured at their fair value. Fair value is determined by rates in 
active currency markets. All forward foreign currency contracts are carried as 
assets when fair value is positive and as liabilities when fair value is 
negative. Gains and losses on forward currency contracts are recognised as part 
of net foreign currency gains in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. 
 
f) Offsetting Financial Instruments 
 
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the 
Statement of Financial Position when there is a legally enforceable right to 
offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net 
basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. 
 
g) Sale and Repurchase Agreements 
 
Securities sold subject to repurchase agreements are reclassified in the 
financial statements as pledged assets when the transferee has the right by 
contract or custom to sell or re-pledge the collateral. The counterparty 
liability is included under 'Amounts payable under repurchase agreements'. 
Securities purchased under agreements to resell are recorded separately under 
'due from agreements to resell'. These securities are valued at amortised cost 
on the Statement of Financial Position. The difference between the sale and the 
repurchase price is treated as interest and accrued over the life of the 
agreement using the effective interest method. 
 
h) Amounts Due from and Due to Brokers 
 
Amounts due from and to brokers represent receivables for securities sold and 
payables for securities purchased that have been contracted for but not yet 
settled or delivered on the statement of financial position date respectively. 
These amounts are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured 
at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 
 
i) Income 
 
Interest income is recognised on a time-proportionate basis using the effective 
interest method. Discounts received or premiums paid in connection with the 
acquisition of Asset Backed Securities are amortised into interest income using 
the effective interest method over the estimated life of the related security. 
 
The effective interest rate method is a method of calculating the amortised 
cost of a financial asset or financial liability and of allocating the interest 
income or interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest 
rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or 
receipts throughout the expected life of the financial instrument, or, when 
appropriate (see note 3(ii)(b)), a shorter period, to the net carrying amount 
of the financial asset or financial liability. When calculating the effective 
interest rate, the Company estimates cash flows considering the expected life 
of the financial instrument but does not consider future credit losses. The 
calculation includes all fees and points paid or received between parties to 
the contract that are an integral part of the effective interest rate and all 
other premiums or discounts. 
 
j) Cash and Cash Equivalents 
 
Cash and cash equivalents comprises cash in hand and deposits held at call with 
banks and other short-term investments in an active market with original 
maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are 
shown in current liabilities in the Statement of Financial Position. 
 
k) Share Capital 
 
As there are only Ordinary Redeemable Shares in issue, which are redeemable at 
the discretion of the Board, the shares are presented as equity in accordance 
with IAS 32 - "Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation". Incremental 
costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary redeemable shares are 
shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds and disclosed in 
the Statement of Changes in Equity. 
 
l) Foreign Currency Translation 
 
Functional and Presentation Currency 
 
Items included in the financial statements are measured using Sterling, the 
currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates (the 
"functional currency"). The Financial Statements are presented in Sterling, 
which is the Company's presentation currency. 
 
Transactions and Balances 
 
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using 
the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign 
currency assets and liabilities are translated into the functional currency 
using the exchange rate prevailing at the statement of financial position date. 
 
Foreign exchange gains and losses relating to the financial assets and 
liabilities carried at fair value through profit or loss are presented in the 
Statement of Comprehensive Income. 
 
m) Transaction Costs 
 
Transaction costs on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss 
include fees and commissions paid to agents, advisers, brokers and dealers. 
Transaction costs, when incurred, are immediately recognised in the Statement 
of Comprehensive Income. 
 
n) Segment Reporting 
 
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal 
reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating 
decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing 
performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board. The 
Directors are of the opinion that the Company is engaged in a single segment of 
business, being investments in Asset Backed Securities. The Directors manage 
the business in this way. Additional information can be found in note 19. 
 
o) Expenses 
 
All expenses are included in the Statement of Comprehensive Income on an 
accruals basis. Expenses incurred on the acquisition of investments at fair 
value through profit or loss are charged to the Statement of Comprehensive 
Income. All other expenses are recognised through profit or loss in the 
Statement of Comprehensive Income. 
 
p) Other Receivables 
 
Other receivables are amounts due in the ordinary course of business. If 
collection is expected in one year or less, they are classified as current 
assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets. Other receivables are 
recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost 
using the effective interest method, less any expected credit losses. 
 
q) Other Payables 
 
Other payables are obligations to pay for services that have been acquired in 
the ordinary course of business. Other payables are classified as current 
liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are 
presented as non-current liabilities. Other payables are recognised initially 
at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective 
interest method. 
 
r) Dividend 
 
A dividend to the Company's Shareholders is recognised as a liability in the 
Company's financial statements and disclosed in the Statement of Changes in 
Equity in the period in which the dividends are approved by the Board. 
 
s) Income Equalisation on New Issues 
 
In order to ensure there are no dilutive effects on earnings per share for 
current Shareholders when issuing new shares, a transfer is made between share 
capital and income to reflect that amount of income included in the purchase 
price of the new shares. 
 
t) Treasury Shares 
 
The Company has the right to issue and purchase up to 14.99% of the total 
number of its own shares, as disclosed in note 13. 
 
Shares held in Treasury are excluded from calculations when determining (Loss)/ 
Earnings per Ordinary Redeemable Share or NAV per Ordinary Redeemable Share as 
detailed in notes 4 and 6. 
 
3.   Significant Accounting Judgements, Estimates and Assumptions 
 
The preparation of the Company's Financial Statements requires management to 
make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of 
revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and the accompanying disclosures. 
Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that 
require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities 
affected in future periods. 
 
(i)   Judgements 
 
In the process of applying the Company's accounting policies, management has 
made the following judgements, which have the most significant effect on the 
amounts recognised in the Financial Statements: 
 
Functional Currency 
 
As disclosed in note 2(l), the Company's functional currency is Sterling. 
Sterling is the currency in which the Company measures its performance and 
reports its results, as well as the currency in which it receives subscriptions 
from its investors. Dividends are also paid to its investors in Sterling. The 
Directors believe that Sterling best represents the functional currency. 
 
(ii)  Estimates and Assumptions 
 
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation 
uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a 
material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within 
the next financial year, are described below. The Company based its assumptions 
and estimates on parameters available when the Financial Statements were 
prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, 
however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising which are 
beyond the control of the Company. Such changes are reflected in the 
assumptions when they occur. 
 
(a)  Fair value of Securities not Quoted in an Active Market 
 
The Company carries its investments in Asset Backed Securities at fair value, 
with changes in value being recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive 
Income. In cases where prices of Asset Backed Securities are not quoted in an 
active market, the Portfolio Manager will obtain prices determined at the close 
of business on the reporting date from an independent price vendor. The 
Portfolio Manager exercises its judgement on the quality of the independent 
price vendor and information provided. If a price cannot be obtained from an 
independent price vendor or where the Portfolio Manager determines that the 
provided price is not an accurate representation of the fair value of the Asset 
Backed Security, the Portfolio Manager will source prices from third party 
broker or dealer quotes for the relevant security. Where no third party price 
is available, or where the Portfolio Manager determines that the third-party 
quote is not an accurate representation of the fair value, the Portfolio 
Manager will determine the valuation based on the Portfolio Manager's valuation 
policy. This may include the use of a comparable arm's length transaction, 
reference to other securities that are substantially the same, discounted cash 
flow analysis and other valuation techniques commonly used by market 
participants making the maximum use of market inputs and relying as little as 
possible on entity-specific inputs. 
 
(b)  Estimated Life of Asset Backed Securities 
 
In determining the estimated life of the Asset Backed Securities held by the 
Company, the Portfolio Manager estimates the remaining life of the security 
with respect to expected prepayment rates, default rates and loss rates 
together with other information available in the market underlying the 
security. The estimated life of the Asset Backed Securities as determined by 
the Portfolio Manager, impacts the effective interest rate of the Asset Backed 
Securities which in turn impacts the calculation of income as discussed in note 
2(i). 
 
(c)  Determination of Observable Inputs 
 
In note 18, Fair Value Measurement, when determining the levels of investments 
within the fair value hierarchy, the determination of what constitutes 
'observable' requires significant judgement by the Company. The Company 
considers observable data to be market data that is readily available, 
regularly distributed or updated, reliable and verifiable, not proprietary, and 
provided by independent sources that are actively involved in the relevant 
market. 
 
4.   Earnings per Ordinary Redeemable Share - Basic & Diluted 
 
The earnings per Ordinary Redeemable Share - Basic and Diluted has been 
calculated based on the weighted average number of Ordinary Redeemable Shares 
of 503,905,681 (31 March 2019: 402,734,014) and a net loss of GBP64,860,249 (31 
March 2019: net gain of GBP6,968,851). 
 
5.   Income Equalisation on New Issues 
 
In order to ensure there are no dilutive effects on earnings per share for 
current Shareholders when issuing new shares, earnings are calculated in 
respect of accrued income at the time of purchase and a transfer is made from 
share capital to income to reflect this. The transfer for the year is GBP531,442 
(31 March 2019: GBP473,345). 
 
6.   Net Asset Value per Ordinary Redeemable Share 
 
The net asset value of each Share of GBP0.94 (31 March 2019: GBP1.13) is determined 
by dividing the net assets of the Company attributed to the Shares of GBP 
475,369,856 (31 March 2019: GBP500,465,449) by the number of Shares in issue at 
31 March 2020 of 504,714,809 (31 March 2019: 441,814,151). 
 
7.    Taxation 
 
The Company has been granted Exempt Status under the terms of The Income Tax 
(Exempt Bodies) (Guernsey) Ordinance, 1989 to income tax in Guernsey. Its 
liability for Guernsey taxation is limited to an annual fee of GBP1,200 (2019: GBP 
1,200).

12.  Amounts payable under repurchase agreements 
 
Following the publication of the latest prospectus on 12 April 2019, the 
Company is now authorised to enter into repurchase agreements. A repurchase 
agreement (Repo) is a short-term loan where both parties agree to the sale and 
future repurchase of assets within a specified contract period. Repurchase 
agreements may be entered into in respect of securities owned by the Company 
which are sold to and repurchased from counterparties on contractually agreed 
dates and the cash generated from this arrangement can be used to purchase new 
securities, effectively creating leverage. The Company still benefits from any 
income received, attributable to the security.

The Share Capital of the Company consists of an unlimited number of Shares with 
or without par value which, upon issue, the Directors may designate as: 
Ordinary Redeemable Shares; Realisation Shares or such other class as the Board 
shall determine and denominated in such currencies as shall be determined at 
the discretion of the Board. 
 
As at 31 March 2020, one share class has been issued, being the Ordinary 
Redeemable Shares of the Company. 
 
The Ordinary Redeemable Shares carry the following rights: 
 
a) the Ordinary Redeemable Shares carry the right to receive all income of the 
Company attributable to the Ordinary Redeemable Shares. 
 
b) the Shareholders present in person or by proxy or present by a duly 
authorised representative at a general meeting has, on a show of hands, one 
vote and, on a poll, one vote for each Share held. 
 
c) 56 days before the annual general meeting date of the Company in each third 
year (the "Reorganisation Date"), the Shareholders are entitled to serve a 
written notice (a "Realisation Election") requesting that all or a part of the 
Ordinary Redeemable Shares held by them be redesignated to Realisation Shares, 
subject to the aggregate NAV of the continuing Ordinary Redeemable Shares on 
the last business day before the Reorganisation Date being not less than GBP100 
million. A Realisation Notice, once given is irrevocable unless the Board 
agrees otherwise. If one or more Realisation Elections be duly made and the 
aggregate NAV of the continuing Ordinary Redeemable Shares on the last business 
day before the Reorganisation Date is less than GBP100 million, the Realisation 
will not take place. Shareholders do not have a right to have their shares 
redeemed and shares are redeemable at the discretion of the Board. The next 
realisation opportunity is due to occur at the end of the next three year term, 
at the date of the AGM in September 2022. 
 
The Company has the right to issue and purchase up to 14.99% of the total 
number of its own shares at GBP0.01 each, to be classed as Treasury Shares and 
may cancel those Shares or hold any such Shares as Treasury Shares, provided 
that the number of Shares held as Treasury Shares shall not at any time exceed 
10% of the total number of Shares of that class in issue at that time or such 
amount as provided in the Companies Law. 
 
On 24 January 2017, the Company issued and purchased 39,000,000 Ordinary Shares 
of GBP0.01 at a price of 110.47p, to be held in treasury. The total amount paid 
to purchase these shares was GBP43,083,300 and has been deducted from the 
Shareholders' equity. The Company has the right to re-issue these shares at a 
later date. All shares issued were fully paid. 
 
On 12 September 2019, a realisation opportunity took place where the Company 
purchased and immediately cancelled 18,349,342 Ordinary Shares at a total cost 
of GBP20,050,326. 
 
Shares held in Treasury are excluded from calculations when determining 
Earnings per Ordinary Redeemable Share or NAV per Ordinary Redeemable Share, as 
detailed in notes 4 and 6.

17.  Financial Risk Management 
 
The Company's objective in managing risk is the creation and protection of 
Shareholder value. Risk is inherent in the Company's activities, but it is 
managed through an ongoing process of identification, measurement and 
monitoring. 
 
The Company's financial instruments include investments designated at fair 
value through profit or loss and cash and cash equivalents. The main risks 
arising from the Company's financial instruments are market risk, credit risk 
and liquidity risk. The techniques and instruments utilised for the purposes of 
efficient portfolio management are those which are reasonably believed by the 
Board to be economically appropriate to the efficient management of the 
Company. 
 
Market risk 
 
Market risk embodies the potential for both losses and gains and includes 
currency risk, interest rate risk, reinvestment risk and price risk. The 
Company's strategy on the management of market risk is driven by the Company's 
investment objective. The Company's investment objective is to generate 
attractive risk adjusted returns principally through investment in Asset Backed 
Securities. 
 
(i) Price Risk 
 
The underlying investments comprised in the portfolio are subject to market 
risk. The Company is therefore at risk that market events may affect 
performance and in particular may affect the value of the Company's investments 
which are valued on a mark to market basis. Market risk is risk associated with 
changes in market prices or rates, including interest rates, availability of 
credit, inflation rates, economic uncertainty, changes in laws, national and 
international political circumstances such as the recent UK vote to leave the 
EU. The Company's policy is to manage price risk by holding a diversified 
portfolio of assets, through its investments in Asset Backed Securities. 
 
The Company's policy also stipulates that no more than 5% of the Portfolio 
value can be exposed to any single Asset Backed Security or issuer of Asset 
Backed Securities. 
 
The price of an Asset Backed Security can be affected by a number of factors, 
including: (i) changes in the market's perception of the underlying assets 
backing the security; (ii) economic and political factors such as interest 
rates and levels of unemployment and taxation which can have an impact on the 
arrears, foreclosures and losses incurred with respect to the pool of assets 
backing the security; (iii) changes in the market's perception of the adequacy 
of credit support built into the security's structure to protect against losses 
caused by arrears and foreclosures; (iv) changes in the perceived 
creditworthiness of the originator of the security or any other third parties 
to the transaction; (v) the speed at which mortgages or loans within the pool 
are repaid by the underlying borrowers (whether voluntary or due to arrears or 
foreclosures). 
 
(ii) Interest Rate Risk 
 
Interest rate risk arises from the possibility that changes in interest rates 
will affect the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or 
loss. 
 
The tables below summarise the Company's exposure to interest rate risk:

The Company only holds floating rate financial instruments and when short-term 
interest rates increase, the interest rate on a floating rate will increase. 
The time to re-fix interest rates ranges from 1 month to a maximum of 6 months 
and therefore the Company has minimal interest rate risk. However the Company 
may choose to utilise appropriate strategies to achieve the desired level of 
interest rate exposure (the Company is permitted to use, for example, interest 
rate swaps to accomplish this). The value of asset backed securities may be 
affected by interest rate movements. Interest receivable on bank deposits or 
payable on bank overdraft positions will be affected by fluctuations in 
interest rates, however the underlying cash positions will not be affected. 
 
The Company's continuing position in relation to interest rate risk is 
monitored on a weekly basis by the Portfolio Manager as part of its review of 
the weekly NAV calculations prepared by the Company's Administrator. 
 
(iii) Foreign Currency Risk 
 
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will 
fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company invests 
predominantly in non-Sterling assets while its Shares are denominated in 
Sterling, its expenses are incurred in Sterling. Therefore the Statement of 
Financial Position may be significantly affected by movements in the exchange 
rate between Euro and Sterling. The Company manages the exposure to currency 
movements by using spot and forward foreign exchange contracts, rolling forward 
on a periodic basis.

The tables below summarise the sensitivity of the Company's assets and 
liabilities to changes in foreign exchange movements between Euro and Sterling 
at 31 March 2020 and 31 March 2019. The analysis is based on the assumption 
that the relevant foreign exchange rate increased/decreased by the percentage 
disclosed in the table, with all other variables held constant. This represents 
management's best estimate of a reasonable possible shift in the foreign 
exchange rates, having regard to historical volatility of those rates.

(iv) Reinvestment Risk 
 
Reinvestment risk is the risk that future coupons from a bond will not be 
reinvested at the prevailing interest rate when the bond was initially 
purchased. 
 
A key determinant of a bond's yield is the price at which it is purchased and, 
therefore, when the market price of bonds generally increases, the yield of 
bonds purchased generally decreases. As such, the overall yield of the 
portfolio, and therefore the level of dividends payable to Shareholders, would 
fall to the extent that the market prices of Asset Backed Securities generally 
rise and the proceeds of Asset Backed Securities held by the Company that 
mature or are sold are not able to be reinvested in Asset Backed Securities 
with a yield comparable to that of the portfolio as a whole. 
 
Price Sensitivity Analysis 
 
The following details the Company's sensitivity to movement in market prices. 
The analysis is based on a 5% increase or decrease in market prices. This 
represents management's best estimate of a reasonable possible shift in market 
prices, having regard to historical volatility. 
 
At 31 March 2020, if the market prices had been 5% higher with all other 
variables held constant, the increase in the net assets attributable to equity 
Shareholders would have been GBP24,119,725 (31 March 2019: GBP24,579,830). An equal 
change in the opposite direction would have decreased the net assets 
attributable to equity Shareholders by the same amount. 
 
Actual trading results may differ from the above sensitivity analysis and those 
differences may be material. 
 
Credit Risk 
 
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its 
contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. The Company 
has a credit policy in place and the exposure to credit risk is monitored on an 
on-going basis. 
 
The main concentration of credit risk to which the Company is exposed arises 
from the Company's investments in Asset Backed Securities. The Company is also 
exposed to counterparty credit risk on forwards, cash and cash equivalents, 
amounts due from brokers and other receivable balances. At the year end, one of 
the Company's investments in Asset Backed Securities was impaired (31 March 
2019: one). 
 
The Company's policy to manage this risk is by no more than 20% of the 
portfolio value being backed by collateral in any single country (save that 
this restriction will not apply to Northern European countries). The Company 
also manages this credit risk by no more than 5% of the portfolio being exposed 
to any single Asset Backed Security or issuer of Asset Back Securities and no 
more than 10% of the portfolio value being exposed to instruments not deemed 
securities for the purposes of the Financial Services and Market Act 2000.

*The non-rated exposure within the Company is managed in exactly the same way 
as the exposure to any other rated bond in the portfolio. A bond not rated by 
any of Moody's, S&P or Fitch does not necessarily translate as poor credit 
quality. Often smaller issues/tranches, or private deals which the Company 
holds, won't apply for a rating due to the cost of doing so from the relevant 
credit agencies. The Portfolio Managers have no credit concerns with the 
unrated, or rated, bonds currently held. 
 
To further minimise credit risk, the Portfolio Manager undertakes extensive due 
diligence procedures on investments in Asset Backed Securities and monitors the 
on-going investment in these securities. The Company may also use credit 
default swaps to mitigate the effects of market volatility on credit risk. 
 
The Company manages its counterparty exposure in respect of cash and cash 
equivalents and forwards by investing with counterparties with a "single A" or 
higher credit rating. All cash is currently placed with The Northern Trust 
Company. The Company is subject to credit risk to the extent that this 
institution may be unable to return this cash. The Northern Trust Company is a 
wholly owned subsidiary of The Northern Trust Corporation. The Northern Trust 
Corporation is publicly traded and a constituent of the S&P 500. The Northern 
Trust Corporation has a credit rating of A+ from Standard & Poor's and A2 from 
Moody's. 
 
The Company's maximum credit exposure is limited to the carrying amount of 
financial assets recognised as at the statement of financial position date, as

Investments in Asset Backed Securities that are not backed by mortgages present 
certain risks that are not presented by Mortgage-Backed Securities ("MBS"). 
Primarily, these securities may not have the benefit of the same security 
interest in the related collateral. Therefore, there is a possibility that 
recoveries on defaulted collateral may not, in some cases, be available to 
support payments on these securities. The risk of investing in these types of 
Asset Backed Securities is ultimately dependent upon payment of the underlying 
debt by the debtor. 
 
Liquidity Risk 
 
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company may not be able to generate 
sufficient cash resources to settle its obligations in full as they fall due or 
can only do so on terms that are materially disadvantageous. 
 
Investments made by the Company in Asset Backed Securities may be relatively 
illiquid and this may limit the ability of the Company to realise its 
investments. Investments in Asset Backed Securities may also have no active 
market and the Company also has no redemption rights in respect of these 
investments. The Company has the ability to borrow to ensure sufficient cash 
flows. 
 
The Portfolio Manager considers expected cash flows from financial assets in 
assessing and managing liquidity risk, in particular its cash resources and 
trade receivables. Cash flows from trade and other receivables are all 
contractually due within twelve months. 
 
The Portfolio Manager maintains a liquidity management policy to monitor the 
liquidity risk of the Company. 
 
Shareholders have no right to have their shares redeemed or repurchased by the 
Company, however Shareholders may elect to realise their holdings as detailed 
under note 12 and the Capital Risk Management section of this note. 
 
Shareholders wishing to release their investment in the Company are therefore 
required to dispose of their shares on the market. Therefore there is no risk 
that the Company will not be able to fund redemption requests.

Capital Risk Management 
 
The Company manages its capital to ensure that it is able to continue as a 
going concern while following the Company's stated investment policy and when 
considering and approving dividend payments. The capital structure of the 
Company consists of Shareholders' equity, which comprises share capital and 
other reserves. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may 
return capital to Shareholders or issue new Shares. There are no regulatory 
requirements to return capital to Shareholders. 
 
(i) Share Buybacks 
 
The Company has been granted the authority to make market purchases of up to a 
maximum of 14.99% of the aggregate number of Ordinary Redeemable Shares in 
issue immediately following Admission at a price not exceeding the higher of 
(i) 5% above the average of the mid-market values of the Ordinary Redeemable 
Shares for the 5 business days before the purchase is made or, (ii) the higher 
of the price of the last independent trade and the highest current investment 
bid for the Ordinary Redeemable Shares. 
 
In deciding whether to make any such purchases the Directors will have regard 
to what they believe to be in the best interests of Shareholders as a whole, to 
the applicable legal requirements and any other requirements in its Articles. 
The making and timing of any buybacks will be at the absolute discretion of the 
Board and not at the option of the Shareholders, and is expressly subject to 
the Company having sufficient surplus cash resources available (excluding 
borrowed moneys). The Listing Rules prohibit the Company from conducting any 
share buybacks during close periods immediately preceding the publication of 
annual and interim results. 
 
(ii)Realisation Opportunity 
 
The realisation opportunity shall be at the annual general meeting of the 
Company in each third year, with the next realisation opportunity being in 
2022, subject to the aggregate NAV of the continuing Ordinary Redeemable Shares 
on the last Business Day before Reorganisation being not less than GBP100 
million. 
 
It is anticipated that realisations will be satisfied by the assets underlying 
the relevant shares being managed on a realisation basis, which is intended to 
generate cash for distribution as soon as practicable and may ultimately 
generate cash which is less than the published NAV per Realisation Share. 
 
In the event that the Realisation takes place, it is anticipated that the 
ability of the Company to make returns of cash to the holders of Realisation 
Shares will depend in part on the ability of the Portfolio Manager to realise 
the portfolio. 
 
(iii) Continuation Votes 
 
In the event that the Company does not meet the dividend target in any 
financial reporting period as disclosed in note 19, the Directors may convene a 
general meeting of the Company where the Directors will propose a resolution 
that the Company should continue as an Investment Company. 
 
18.  Fair Value Measurement 
 
All assets and liabilities are carried at fair value or at carrying value which 
equates to fair value. 
 
IFRS 13 requires the Company to classify fair value measurements using a fair 
value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the 
measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels: 
 
(i)  Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or 
liabilities (Level 1). 
 
(ii) Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are 
observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or 
indirectly (that is, derived from prices including interest rates, yield 
curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks and default rates) or 
other market corroborated inputs (Level 2). 
 
      (iii) Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable 
market data (that is, unobservable inputs) (Level 3). 
 
      The following tables analyse within the fair value hierarchy the 
Company's financial assets and liabilities (by class) measured at fair value 
for the years ended 31 March 2020 and 31 March 2019.

March 2019 
 
Asset Backed Securities which have a value based on quoted market prices in 
active markets are classified in Level 1. At the end of the period, no Asset 
Backed Securities held by the Company are classified as Level 1. 
 
Asset Backed Securities which are not traded or dealt on organised markets or 
exchanges are classified in Level 2 or Level 3. Asset Backed securities priced 
at cost are classified as Level 3. Asset Backed securities with prices obtained 
from independent price vendors, where the Portfolio Manager is able to assess 
whether the observable inputs used for their modelling of prices are accurate 
and the Portfolio Manager has the ability to challenge these vendors with 
further observable inputs, are classified as Level 2. Prices obtained from 
vendors who are not easily challengeable or transparent in showing their 
assumptions for the method of pricing these assets, are classified as Level 3. 
Asset Backed Securities priced at an average of two vendors' prices are 
classified as Level 3. 
 
Where the Portfolio Manager determines that the price obtained from an 
independent price vendor is not an accurate representation of the fair value of 
the Asset Backed Security, the Portfolio Manager may source prices from third 
party broker or dealer quotes and if the price represents a reliable and an 
observable price, the Asset Backed Security is classified in Level 2. Any 
broker quote that is over 20 days old is considered stale and is classified as 
Level 3. 
 
There were no transfers between Level 1 and 2 during the period, however 
transfers between Level 2 and Level 3 occur based on the Portfolio Manager's 
ability to obtain a reliable and observable price as detailed above. 
 
Due to the inputs into the valuation of Asset Backed Securities classified as 
Level 3 not being available or visible to the Company, no meaningful 
sensitivity on inputs can be performed. 
 
The following tables present the movement in Level 3 instruments for the years

19.  Segmental Reporting 
 
             The Board is responsible for reviewing the Company's entire 
portfolio and considers the business to have a single operating segment. The 
Board's asset allocation decisions are based on a single, integrated investment 
strategy, and the Company's performance is evaluated on an overall basis. 
 
The Company invests in a diversified portfolio of Asset Backed Securities. The 
fair value of the major financial instruments held by the Company and the 
equivalent percentages of the total value of the Company are reported in the 
Top Twenty Holdings. 
 
Revenue earned is reported separately on the face of the Statement of 
Comprehensive Income as investment income being interest income received from 
Asset Backed Securities. 
 
20.  Dividend Policy 
 
The Board intends to distribute an amount at least equal to the value of the 
Company's income available for distribution arising each quarter to the holders 
of Ordinary Redeemable Shares. For these purposes, the Company's income will 
include the interest payable by the Asset Backed Securities in the Portfolio 
and the amortisation of any discount or premium to par at which an Asset Backed 
Security is purchased over its remaining expected life, prior to its maturity. 
However there is no guarantee that the dividend target for future financial 
years will be met or that the Company will pay any dividends at all. 
 
Dividends paid with respect to any quarter comprise (a) the accrued income of 
the portfolio for the period, and (b) an additional amount to reflect any 
income purchased in the course of any share subscriptions that took place 
during the period.  Including purchased income in this way ensures that the 
income yield of the shares is not diluted as a consequence of the issue of new 
shares during an income period and (c) any income on the foreign exchange 
contracts created by the LIBOR differentials between each foreign currency 
pair, less (d) total expenditure for the period. 
 
The Company, being a Guernsey regulated entity, is able to pay dividends out of 
capital. Nonetheless, the Board carefully considers any dividend payments made 
to ensure the Company's capital is maintained in the longer term. Careful 
consideration is also given to ensuring sufficient cash is available to meet 
the Company's liabilities as they fall due. 
 
The Board expects that dividends will constitute the principal element of the 
return to the holders of Ordinary Redeemable Shares. 
 
Under The Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008, the Company can distribute dividends 
from capital and revenue reserves, subject to the net asset and solvency test. 
The net asset and solvency test considers whether a company is able to pay its 
debts when they fall due, and whether the value of a company's assets is 
greater than its liabilities. The Board confirms that the Company passed the 
net asset and solvency test for each dividend paid. 
 
The Company declared the following dividends in respect of distributable profit 
for the year ended 31 March 2020:

In the early months of 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak adversely impacted global 
commercial activities. The fluidity of the situation precludes any prediction, 
however it is foreseen that the pandemic will continue to have an adverse 
impact on the global economic and market conditions. The Directors continue to 
monitor the situation and its impact on the Company. 
 
GLOSSARY OF TERMS AND ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASURES 
 
Alternative Performance Measures ("APMS") 
 
In accordance with ESMA Guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures ("APMs") 
the Board has considered what APMs are included in the Annual Report and 
Audited Financial Statements which require further clarification. APMs are 
defined as a financial measure of historical or future financial performance, 
financial position or cash flows, other than a financial measure defined or 
specified in the applicable financial reporting framework. The APMs included in 
the annual report and accounts, is unaudited and outside the scope of IFRS. 
 
Discount/Premium 
 
If the share price of an investment company is lower than the NAV per share, 
the shares are said to be trading at a discount. The size of the discount is 
calculated by subtracting the share price from the NAV per share and is usually 
expressed as a percentage of the NAV per share. If the share price is higher 
than the NAV per share, the shares are said to be trading at a premium. 
 
Dividends Declared 
 
Dividends declared are the dividends that are announced in respect of the 
current accounting period. They usually consist of 4 dividends: three interim 
dividends in respect of the periods to June, September and December, in which 
the Company aims to declare a fixed dividend of 1.5 pence per share; and a 
final dividend declared in respect of March where the residual income for the 
year is distributed. 
 
Dividend Yield 
 
Dividend yield is the percentage of dividends declared in respect of the 
period, divided by the initial share issue price of 100.00 pence. The Company 
maintains an annual dividend yield target of 6% or higher and if it does not 
meet this target at the end of an accounting year, a Continuation Vote is held 
for all Shareholders. 
 
Net Asset Value ("NAV") 
 
NAV is the assets attributable to Shareholders expressed as an amount per 
individual share. NAV is calculated using the accounting standards speci?ed by 
International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and consists of total 
assets, less total liabilities. 
 
NAV per Share 
 
NAV per share is calculated by dividing the total net asset value of GBP 
461,913,505 (2019: GBP500,465,449) by the number of shares at the end of the year 
of 504,714,809 units (2019: 441,814,151). This produces a NAV per share of 
91.52p (2019: 113.28p), which was a decrease of 19.21%. 
 
Ongoing Charges 
 
The ongoing charges represent the Company's management fee and all other 
operating expenses, excluding finance costs, expressed as a percentage of the 
average of the daily net assets during the year (see Strategic Report). The 
Board continues to be conscious of expenses and works hard to maintain a 
sensible balance between good quality service and cost. 
 
Total Return per Share 
 
Total return per share represents is calculated by adding the increase or 
decrease in NAV per share with the dividend per share and dividing it by the 
dividend per share at the start of the period.
