13 Grants maintenance reserve

The grants maintenance reserve relates to a capital maintenance reserve established and maintained at the Trustees' discretion.

Inflation reserve

As an “enduring” (everlasting) Trust, BayTrust has a responsibility to ensure it treats all classes of beneficiaries equitably and this includes future potential beneficiaries. For this reason the Trust maintains its “real” (inflation-adjusted) capital by reserving annually sufficient funds to cover inflation as measured by the Consumers' Price Index. These measurements have traditionally been taken for the 12 months to June of the preceding year and in this case the CPI increase to June 2013 was 1.0%, requiring an addition of $0.971m to the Reserve. (2013: $1.4m)

14 Financial instruments

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

Credit risk

The Trust’s SIPO stipulates value ranges that may be held in Australasian and global equities, New Zealand and global fixed interest, New Zealand cash, global listed infrastructure and global listed property. Within each of these investment sub-trusts there are maximum limits that can be invested within one investment group and with one investment manager. This diversified investment strategy reduces the credit risk exposure of the Trust.

The Trust makes loans only to entities that are well established and have demonstrated a robust ability to make repayments.
