16. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Financial Risk Management

The Trust’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, fair value interest rate risk, cash flow interest rate risk and equity price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.

The Trust has policies to manage the risks associated with financial instruments. The Trust is risk averse and seeks to minimise exposure from its treasury activities. The Trust has established investment policies. These policies do not allow any transactions that are speculative in nature to be entered into.

Market Risk

The Trust’s activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices.

There has been no change to the Trust’s exposure to market risks or in the manner it manages and measures the risk.

Fair value interest rate risk

Fair value interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Trust’s exposure to fair value interest rate risk is limited to its investments in New Zealand fixed interest and cash and global fixed interest funds included in financial assets at fair value through profit or loss category in the Balance Sheet (see note 11).
