The above sensitivity analysis has been prepared based on the following assumptions:

  1. The assets and liabilities as at year end remain the same throughout the ensuing year.

  2. Each of the sensitivities is performed in isolation.

  3. For the purposes of assessing foreign exchange risk, it has been assumed that the offshore equity investments held by the Trust are domiciled in the following currencies:

    • US$ 50%
    • Euros 30%
    • Yen 20%

The Trust’s offshore fixed interest investments are fully hedged, and therefore no foreign exchange risk exists in respect of those investments.
