Last June, it said an investigation, initiated by the Church Commissioners, a charity managing the Church’s investment portfolio, revealed that for more than 100 years the fund invested large sums of money in a company responsible for transporting slaves.
The fund, known in the 18th Century as Queen Anne’s Bounty, had developed into a £10.1bn investment trust.
The Most Reverend Justin Welby said he was “deeply sorry for the links”.
