14. Financial Instruments

Financial instruments include short-term deposits, New Zealand bonds, international bonds, derivatives and investments in managed funds both within New Zealand and overseas.

14.1 Credit Risk

The trustees regularly review their investment strategy. The investment strategy ensures an appropriate diversification of investments so that the trust has no significant concentration of counterparty or credit risk.

14.2 Fair Values

The trust has recorded its financial assets and liabilities at current market values, which represent estimated fair values and credit risk exposure.

14.3 Currency Risk

The trust has exposure to currency risk through its investments in offshore equities managed funds. The current investment policy requires full hedging of currency risk for overseas bonds when held and 50% hedging of currency risk for overseas equities. Since October 2002, the trust has held a tactical hedging position with 100% cover on overseas equities. Since March 2003, the Australian equities have been unhedged. In March 2004, the hedging position on the remaining overseas equities was returned to the strategic 50% cover. Currency risk is managed by fund managers with a range of tolerance.
