Capital management

The Trust’s capital includes Trust Capital, Income Fluctuation Reserve and Inflation & Population Growth Reserve.

The Trust’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor confidence and to sustain future development of the Trust.

The Trust is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

The Trust’s policies in respect of capital management and allocation are reviewed regularly by the Board of Trustees, and during the year a decision was taken not to rebalance the investment portfolio while its value is below "Real Capital".

Sensitivity analysis

Table 1 shows the asset allocation for the Trust’s portfolio as at 31 March 2009 as well as the long term expected return for each asset class. The return one standard deviation above and below the expected return is also shown.

Table 1: Sensitivity Analysis for the Trusts Portfolio 31 March 2009

Asset Class Asset Allocation (31 March 2009) Long Term Expected Return p.a. -1 Std Deviation Return p.a. +1 Std Deviation Return p.a.
NZ Equities 5.0% 9.2% -7.8% 26.2%
Global Equities 24.6% 8.6% -6.6% 23.8%
Global Bonds 53.5% 6.3% 3.0% 9.6%
NZ Cash 12.0% 5.7% 4.2% 7.2%
Global Property 2.5% 8.1% -3.9% 20.1%
Hedge Funds 2.4% 8.3% 0.3% 16.3%
Total 100.00% 7.0% 2.0% 12.1%

From table 1 the long term expected return for the Trust’s portfolio is 7.0% per annum and there is approximately a 68% probability that the return in any one year will be within the range of 2% and 12.1%.

As at 31 March 2009 the Trust’s Portfolio had NZ$109.3m under management. Assuming the short term return distribution approximates the long term return distribution there is approximately a 68% probability that the Trust’s revenue profit from investment activities will lie in the range of $2.2m to $13.2m, with an expected revenue of $7.7m for the year ended 31 March 2009 to 31 March 2010.
