19 Financial instruments

Exposure to credit, interest rate, foreign currency, equity price and liquidity risks arises in the normal course of the Group’s business. The Group’s risk management policies and procedures for financial instruments are formally documented and approved by the Trustees in the Group’s Statement of Investment Policies and Objectives (“SIPO”).

Credit risk

The Group’s SIPO stipulates value ranges that may be held in cash, New Zealand bonds, international bonds, emerging market bonds and property. Within each of these investment sub-groups there are maximum limits that can be invested within one financial institution. This diversified investment strategy reduces the credit risk exposure of the Group.

The Group only makes loans to entities that are well established and have the ability to demonstrate strong cashflows.

The SIPO states minimum credit ratings of the majority of investments that have to be achieved.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk represents the Group’s ability to meet its contractual obligations. The Group evaluates its liquidity measurements on an ongoing basis. In general, the Group generates sufficient cash flows from its activities to meet its obligations arising from its financial liabilities.
