Dear Australian National University,

I am seeking a list of changes to the university's investment portfolio since it's decision to fully divest from some fossil fuel investments in 2014. This should include any written instructions to manages of the investment portfolio, stocks divested since the decision was made, and instructions to the funds manager about future investments. In addition, I would also like a list of the University of Sydney's current stock portfolio and the same list current to the end of financial year 2015, 2014 and 2013. I am also requesting any advice sought or received by the university relating to any potential impact on the returns of the university's investment portfolio as a result of the 2014 decision and the impact of the university divesting fully from fossil fuel investments.

Yours faithfully,

John Slater

University Records Manager, Australian National University
