Capital management

The Group’s capital includes Core Real Capital Base Reserve, Accumulated Income Reserve and Capital Base Reserve.

The Group’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor confidence and to sustain future development of the Canterbury Community Trust. This is achieved by setting aside each year sufficient sums from reserves to increase the Trust Capital by the annual rate of inflation as measured by the consumer price index. Donations policy is adjusted as required based on the financial performance of the Group’s investments.

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

The Group’s policies in respect of capital management and allocation are reviewed regularly by the Board of Trustees.

There have been no material changes in the Group’s management of capital during the period.

Estimation of fair value

The methods used in determining the fair values of financial instruments are discussed in note 4.

Fair value hierarchy

NZ IFRS 7 requires that the classification of financial instruments at fair value through profit and loss be determined by reference to the source of inputs used to derive the fair value. This classification uses the following three-level hierarchy:

  • Level 1 — quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
  • Level 2 — inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices)
  • Level 3 — inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The fair value of the financial instruments as well as methods used to estimate the fair values are summarised in the following table:
