Market Risk (continued)<br />

Interest Rate Risk<br />

<strong>Investments</strong> in interest bearing financial assets are exposed to the risks associated with the effects of fluctuations in the<br />

prevailing levels of market interest rates on its financial position and cash flows. Such Funds are exposed to cash flow<br />

interest rate risk on financial instruments with variable interest rates. Financial instruments with fixed rates expose these<br />

Funds to fair value interest rate risk. The risk is measured using sensitivity analysis.<br />

Certain Funds may also enter into derivative financial instruments to mitigate the risk of future interest rate changes in<br />

accordance with the risk policies and guidelines of the Investment Managers. These transactions are regularly monitored by<br />

the Compliance De<strong>part</strong>ment of the Responsible Entity. The table below summarises the Funds' exposure to interest rate<br />

risks. It includes the Funds' assets and liabilities at fair values.<br />
