Movements in Level 2 Financial Assets:

Forward Exchange Contracts
Forward Exchange Contracts are not exchange-traded, but are recorded at fair value using readily available forward exchange rates (i.e. observable inputs). As such these contracts do not meet the criteria for Level 1 and have been reclassified as Level 2.

Hedge Funds
An in depth review by management of the valuation methodology adopted by Hedge Fund Managers concluded that fair value measurements are based on observable inputs (Net Asset Value) with a one month time lag in reporting and no unobservable adjustments to observable inputs to fair value measurement. On this basis the Hedge Funds meet the criteria for Level 2 disclosures, rather than Level 3, and have been reclassified accordingly.

Global Equity Fund
A Global Equity Fund Manager fair values the investment based on a net asset value published monthly. There are no significant unobservable inputs to the Fair Value measurement. Accordingly this investment does not meet the criteria of a Level 1 investment (unadjusted quoted prices in active markets) and has therefore been reclassified as Level 2.
