Below is a list of the value of shares held by each university. The most recent figures generally refer to investments held in June 2008 in the top six UK-based arms exporting companies and the top eight American arms companies. The other figures mostly refer to shares held in March 2006 in the top seven US and UK arms companies at that time. The date of the information is provided in all cases.
The figures are taken from responses to Freedom of Information Act requests made to each university. Whilst the greatest care has been taken to ensure the accuracy of all the figures in this report, CAAT recognises the possibility of human error, and recommends that this fact be kept in mind when referring to the information.
