  4. Financial Instruments
    Investments are stated at market value at balance date. Accounts receivable and accounts payable are stated at the amounts expected to be received or paid. Accordingly, the trustees consider that the fair value of each class of financial assets and financial liabilities is the same as the carrying value in the financial position.

Concentration of Investments
Ninety-eight percent (98%) of the assets of the trust are represented by investments held with a range of financial institutions. The trustees consider the risk of non-recovery of these investments to be mitigated by prudent investment strategies and an appropriately diversified portfolio.

Currency Risk
The trust incurs currency risk as a result of investment transactions entered into by fund managers. Such risks are mitigated by foreign currency hedges where appropriate. At 31 March 2005, the trust had entered into foreign exchange contracts to hedge foreign denominated investments in the amount of $36,044,881.

Interest Rate Risk
The following investments of the trust are sensitive to changes in interest rates: Bank call accounts and deposits, government and local authority and securities held by fund managers. Interest rate risk is mitigated by the use of interest rate swaps where appropriate.
