12. Currency Translation

Monetary assets denominated in foreign currency are converted to New Zealand dollars at the exchange rates reported at balance date and any unrealised profit or loss resulting from the conversion is effected in the statement of financial performance.

Trust policy is to hedge the currency movements on global fixed interest and passive global equity investments to reduce exposure to fluctuation in foreign exchange. Any unrealised losses and gains are recorded at year end through the statement of financial performance.
