f) Credit Risk

Credit risk represents the risk that a counterparty to a financial asset fails to discharge an obligation which will cause the Trust to incur a financial loss. With regard to the credit risk arising for financial assets, the Trust’s credit risk arises from any default by a counterparty. There is no security held over these assets.

Concentrations of risk arise when a number of financial instruments or contracts are entered into with the same counterparty or where a number of counterparties are engaged in similar business activities.
