c) Pricing Risk
Pricing risk is the risk that the value of the instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in market price (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk), whether caused by factors specific to an individual investment, its issuer or all factors affecting all instruments traded in the market. As the majority of the funds' financial instruments are carried at fair value changes recognised in the income statement, all changes in market conditions will directly affect investment income.
Price risk is managed by the Trust by constructing a diversified portfolio of instruments traded on various markets. The SIPO sets down the guidelines for this diversification.
The Trust’s financial assets are priced at fair value. The effect on the Trust’s income statement and balance sheet as at 31st March 2009, due to a possible change in market factors is represented in the following table:
| Financial Asset | Sensitivity Range |
