10. Financial Instruments

Currency Risk

The trust invests in securities that are denominated in foreign currencies and therefore, result in a currency risk. In order to minimise the currency risk, foreign currency assets are hedged.

2001 ($000) 2000 ($000)
Foreign currency denominated assets 274,943 0
Less: Foreign currency contracts 198,900 0
Unhedged exposure 76,043 0

Interest Rate Risk

The trust, through its fund managers, invests in securities that are subject to interest rate risk. The trust actively monitors this risk and changes asset allocations and maturity profiles accordingly.

Credit Risk

The trust, in the normal course of business, enters into arrangements with other parties. These arrangements give rise to credit risk for the trust and hence policies and procedures are maintained so that this risk is minimised. No collateral is required in respect of financial assets.

For all classes of financial assets held by the trust, the maximum credit risk exposure to the trust is the carrying value as disclosed in the financial statements at balance date.

Due to the diversification of the investment portfolio and the policies and procedures in place, there is no significant concentration of credit risk.

Fair Values

All financial instruments are carried at market value.
