Consolidated structured entities In November 2020 the Parent Company invested in a cell of a Protected Cell Company, White Rock Insurance (Gibraltar) PCC Limited. Financial support provided by the Group is limited to amounts required to cover transactions between the cell and the Group. The Group has provided £10m financial support in the form of a letter of credit. In December 2021 the Group invested in a controlling interest in a Jersey Property Unit Trust (JPUT). The Group has determined that it controls the JPUT as a result of the Group’s ability to remove the Trustees; other than the Group and the Trustees there are no other parties with decision making rights over the JPUT. The Group has taken the option within IFRS 3, Business combinations to apply the concentration test to determine whether the JPUT represents a business within the scope of IFRS 3. The conclusion of the concentration test is that the assets of the JPUT are concentrated in the single identifiable asset of the investment property and as such the investment by the Group does not represent a business combination. The Group has consolidated the results of the JPUT; any excess of investment purchase price over the fair value of the assets acquired is allocated against the identifiable assets and liabilities in proportion to their relative fair values; goodwill is not recognised. Unconsolidated structured entities The Group has interests in structured entities which are not consolidated as the definition of control has not been met based on the investment proportion held by the Group. Interests in unconsolidated structured entities include investment funds and liquidity funds and loans granted to special purpose vehicles “SPVs” secured by assets held by the SPVs such as commercial mortgages and ground rents. As at 31 December 2021 the Group’s interest in unconsolidated structured entities, which are classified as investments held at fair value through profit or loss, are shown below:
2021 £m
2020 £m
677.8 189.7
Loans secured by commercial mortgages

Loans secured by ground rents

Total
The Group’s exposure to financial loss from its interest in unconsolidated structured entities is limited to the amounts shown above. The Group is not required to provide financial support to the entities, nor does it sponsor the entities. Non-controlling interests On 4 July 2018 the Group subscribed to 33% of the ordinary share capital of Spire Platform Solutions Limited. The Group has majority representation on the Board of the company, giving it effective control, and therefore consolidates the company in full in the results of the Group. On 17 August 2018 the Group acquired 75% of the ordinary share capital of HUB Pension Consulting (Holdings) Limited (formerly Corinthian Group Limited). On 22 September 2021 the Group acquired the remaining 25% of the ordinary share capital at a cost of £0.1m. The non-controlling interests of the minority shareholders of Spire Platform Solutions Limited of £(0.5)m have been recognised in the year. The non- controlling interests of the minority shareholders of HUB Pension Consulting (Holdings) Limited of £(0.3)m have been recognised to the date of acquisition by the Group.
