9. 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.

| | 2003 | 2002 |
| | $000 | $000 |
| Foreign currency denominated assets | 267,476 | 323,198 |
| Less foreign currency contracts | 195,262 | 221,077 |
| Unhedged exposure | 72,214 | 102,121 |

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.
