THE NT EUROPE (EX-UK) EQUITY INDEX FUND<br />
<strong>INVESTMENT</strong> REVIEW - UNAUDITED<br />
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 SEPTEMbER 2012<br />
Launch Date<br />
10th December 2003<br />
Fund Size<br />
€185.95 million<br />
Benchmark<br />
MSCI Europe (ex-UK) Index<br />
Fund Review<br />
During the six months ended 30 September 2012,<br />
the Sub-Fund returned 3.44% against a benchmark<br />
return of 2.90%. Since the Sub-Fund inception date,<br />
in December 2003, the Sub-Fund has posted an<br />
annualised return of 5.07% against an annualised<br />
benchmark return of 4.56%.<br />
MSCI implemented changes to their series of<br />
indexes at the end of May 2012. These changes<br />
included normal investment review changes such as<br />
additions, deletions, and float and shares changes. For<br />
MSCI Europe (ex-UK), there were 10 additions, 14<br />
deletions and a number of free float changes and share<br />
in issue changes. The turnover at the MSCI review in<br />
May 2012 was 1.38%.<br />
The MSCI quarterly review in August 2012 saw no<br />
additions or deletions for the region and only a few<br />
small share in issue and float factor changes, resulting<br />
in minimal turnover for the portfolio and the index.<br />
The index changes were carefully traded to<br />
minimise any deviation from the benchmark (resulting<br />
from trading costs) and were used as an opportunity to<br />
equitise some of the futures exposure.<br />

Performance Commentary<br />
For the six months ended 30 September 2012, the Sub-<br />
Fund returned 3.76% versus a benchmark return of<br />
3.78%. The Sub-Fund underperformed the benchmark<br />
by 2 basis points (bps). Since inception the Sub-Fund<br />
has outperformed the benchmark, on an annualized<br />
basis, by 4 basis points and is up 4.41%. During the<br />
period the Sub-Fund was subject to a net inflow of<br />
€10.56 million.<br />
The index reconstitutes on a monthly basis to<br />
include new government bonds that have been issued<br />
and to exclude those bonds, which have fallen below<br />
the minimum maturity of one year. Overall the<br />
modified duration of the benchmark lengthened from<br />
6.22 years to 6.34 years.<br />
The period began on a relatively calm note however<br />
managed to fall into the midst of economic turmoil, as<br />
political uncertainty and financial instability loomed<br />
large across the region. There was a reversal to the<br />
positive start to the year, with the Spanish bailout, a<br />
new Greek government, concerns of contagion and<br />
slowdown in China. The European Central Bank<br />
(ECB) cut key rates by 25bps in July, bringing the main<br />
base interest rate to 0.75% and, more importantly,<br />
the deposit rate to 0.00%, thus entering a new<br />
environment where the ECB no longer paid banks<br />
for leaving money with the central bank. However, it<br />
refrained from relaxing rates any further through the<br />
quarter.<br />
In July, ECB President Mario Draghi also relieved<br />
some tension stating "the ECB is willing to do whatever<br />
it takes to preserve the Euro". Draghi delivered on<br />
his commitment in September, unveiling a new and<br />
ambitious scheme to engage in a potentially unlimited<br />
bond buying program, hoping to address the high<br />
borrowing costs prevalent in the Eurozone. Economic<br />
data in the region persisted on the disappointing path.<br />
After stagnating for the first three months of the year,<br />
the Eurozone contracted 0.2% in the April to June<br />
ending period. Economic confidence in the region,<br />
having fallen for seven months, dropped by 1.1 points<br />
to 85 in September, the lowest since August 2009.<br />
Considering a high probability of Greece exiting<br />
the euro zone, Moody's changed its stance from<br />
‘stable’ to ‘negative’ for Germany, the Netherlands and<br />
Luxembourg, stating that it would result in a chain of<br />
financial sector shocks. Moody’s also downgraded the<br />
European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF), the fund<br />
that seeks to contain the debt crisis from spreading.<br />
Fitch downgraded the credit rating of 18 Spanish<br />
banks while Spain’s bleak economic outlook led to a<br />
three notch downgrade (one notch above junk status).<br />
French President Hollande restated his intentions to<br />
deliver on his deficit cutting promises in France’s first<br />
Socialist budget in a decade. President Hollande has<br />
promised to raise taxes by €20 billion next year, aiming<br />
to reduce the deficit to 3%. Spain ventured into a fifth<br />
round of budget cuts and tax increases, announcing<br />
a crisis budget for 2013 amidst austerity measures, to<br />
meet a budget deficit reduction target of 4.5%. The EU<br />
Summit at the end of June began the arduous path of<br />
mapping out solutions for the debt situation in Europe.<br />
The politicians proposed to recapitalise banks from<br />
EFSF/ESM and to move towards a banking union.<br />
The capital of the European Investment Bank (EIB)<br />
was also to be increased by €10 billion along with a<br />
€120 billion growth pact. Global economic growth<br />
remains weak as downside risks to economic outlook<br />
persist on the back of the euro zone sovereign debt<br />
crisis and allied moderate growth outlook in most<br />
developed economies.<br />

Performance Commentary<br />
For the six months ended 30 September 2012, the<br />
Sub-Fund and the benchmark returned -2.40%.<br />
Since inception, the Sub-Fund has outperformed the<br />
benchmark, on an annualized basis, by 19 basis points<br />
and is up 7.60%. During the period there were net<br />
inflows of £0.22 million.<br />
During the past quarter there were a number<br />
of Linker auctions, as the DMO re-opened issues<br />
across the curve. Overall the modified duration of the<br />
benchmark shortened from 19.80 to 17.65.<br />
The Bank of England (BoE) unanimously voted<br />
to keep its base rate at 0.50% while acknowledging<br />
that the circumstances were rather compelling and<br />
required additional easing. An additional £50 billion<br />
easing was implemented at its July meeting pushing<br />
the asset purchase target to £375 billion. The Bank also<br />
announced the creation of a Government and BoE<br />
Funding for Lending Scheme (FLS) while also pushing<br />
for the activation of the Bank’s Extended Collateral<br />
Term Repo Facility (ECTR). The governor indicated<br />
that the struggling economy is beginning to exhibit<br />
signs of recovery; however, its performance is reliant<br />
on global economic health. It noted that downside<br />
risks to the outlook had increased as a result of weak<br />
data across the euro zone, the US and some emerging<br />
markets. However, even in the backdrop of a subdued<br />
economic outlook in Europe, a few positive events<br />
appeared to improve overall sentiment.<br />
The second Greek election resulted in a coalition<br />
of moderate centre aligned parties which calmed the<br />
markets temporarily. Secondly, the EU Summit at<br />
the end of June helped to begin the arduous path of<br />
mapping out solutions for the current situation in<br />
Europe. Despite the guarded optimism, downside risks<br />
to economic outlook persist as a result of the Euro<br />
zone sovereign debt crisis and a moderate growth<br />
outlook in most developed economies. Developments<br />
abroad, particularly in the Euro area, continue to be a<br />
major headwind for the UK economy.<br />
Acknowledging Eurozone’s crisis impact being<br />
greater than envisaged; the BoE cut its economic<br />
growth forecast and is now expecting the economy<br />
to grow about 2 % over two years. Economic data<br />
remained subdued, with the economy mired in<br />
recession, indicating slowed recovery. Second quarter<br />
GDP shrank less than previously estimated, falling to<br />
-0.4% after holding steady at -0.3% quarter on quarter<br />
in Q1. The service sector continued to rise at a gradual<br />
pace with the PMI Services rising from 51 to 53.7 in<br />
August. The manufacturing PMI which recorded its<br />
lowest figure since beginning of 2009, at 45.2, edged<br />
significantly higher, as the volume of activity rose to<br />
49.5. However, despite higher global oil prices, inflation<br />
receded with the Core CPI slipping from 2.3% year<br />
on year to 2.1% year on year in August. The current<br />
account deficit widened to a record £20.8 billion<br />
quarter on quarter compared to the previous £15.4<br />
billion quarter on quarter.<br />

Fund Review<br />
During the six months ended 30 September 2012,<br />
the Sub-Fund returned 1.67% against a benchmark<br />
return of 1.65%. Since the Sub-Fund inception date, in<br />
February 2004, the Sub-Fund has posted an annualised<br />
return of 1.19% against an annualised benchmark<br />
return of 1.16%.<br />
MSCI implemented changes to their series of<br />
indexes at the end of May 2012. These changes<br />
included normal investment review changes such as<br />
additions, deletions, and float and shares changes. For<br />
MSCI Japan, there were three additions, three deletions<br />
and a number of free float changes and share in issue<br />
changes. The turnover at the MSCI review in May 2012<br />
was 0.89%.<br />
The MSCI quarterly review in August 2012 saw no<br />
additions or deletions for the region and only a few<br />
small share in issue and float factor changes, resulting<br />
in minimal turnover for the portfolio and the index.<br />
The index changes were carefully traded to<br />
minimise any deviation from the benchmark (resulting<br />
from trading costs) and were used as an opportunity to<br />
equitise some of the futures exposure.<br />

THE NT NORTH AMERICA EQUITY INDEX FUND<br />
<strong>INVESTMENT</strong> REVIEW - UNAUDITED<br />
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 SEPTEMbER 2012<br />
Launch Date<br />
24th February 2004<br />
Fund Size<br />
€234.80 million<br />
Benchmark<br />
MSCI North America Index<br />
Fund Review<br />
During the six months ended 30 September 2012,<br />
the Sub-Fund returned 5.76% against a benchmark<br />
return of 5.72%. Since the Sub-Fund inception date, in<br />
February 2004, the Sub-Fund has posted an annualised<br />
return of 4.60% against an annualised benchmark<br />
return of 4.57%.<br />
MSCI implemented changes to their series of<br />
indexes at the end of May 2012.These changes included<br />
normal investment review changes such as additions,<br />
deletions, and float and shares changes. For MSCI<br />
North America, there were 25 additions, four deletions<br />
and a number of free float changes and share in issue<br />
changes. The turnover at the MSCI review in May 2012<br />
was 1.24%.<br />
The MSCI quarterly review in August 2012 saw<br />
two additions and three deletions for the region and<br />
only a few small share in issue and float factor changes,<br />
resulting in minimal turnover for the portfolio and<br />
the index.<br />
The index changes were carefully traded to<br />
minimise any deviation from the benchmark (resulting<br />
from trading costs) and were used as an opportunity to<br />
equitise some of the futures exposure.<br />

February 2004, the Sub-Fund has posted an annualised<br />
return of 11.22% against an annualised benchmark<br />
return of 10.53%.<br />
MSCI implemented changes to their series of<br />
indexes at the end of May 2012. These changes<br />
included normal investment review changes such as<br />
additions, deletions, and float and shares changes. For<br />
MSCI Pacific (ex-Japan), there were two additions, no<br />
deletions and a number of free float changes and share<br />
in issue changes. The turnover at the MSCI review in<br />
May 2012 was 1.25%.<br />
The MSCI quarterly review in August 2012 saw no<br />
additions or deletions for the region and only a few<br />
small share in issue and float factor changes, resulting<br />
in minimal turnover for the portfolio and the index.<br />
The index changes were carefully traded to<br />
minimise any deviation from the benchmark (resulting<br />
from trading costs) and were used as an opportunity to<br />
equitise some of the futures exposure.<br />

THE NT UK EQUITY INDEX FUND<br />
<strong>INVESTMENT</strong> REVIEW - UNAUDITED<br />
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 SEPTEMbER 2012<br />
Launch Date<br />
17th February 2004<br />
Fund Size<br />
€21.27 million<br />
Benchmark<br />
MSCI UK Index<br />
Fund Review<br />
During the six months ended 30 September 2012,<br />
the Sub-Fund returned 6.42% against a benchmark<br />
return of 6.41%. Since the Sub-Fund inception date, in<br />
February 2004, the Sub-Fund has posted an annualised<br />
return of 4.64% against an annualised benchmark<br />
return of 4.69%.<br />
MSCI implemented changes to their series of<br />
indexes at the end of May 2012. These changes<br />
included normal investment review changes such as<br />
additions, deletions, and float and shares changes. For<br />
MSCI UK, there were four additions, no deletions<br />
and a number of free float changes and share in issue<br />
changes. The turnover at the MSCI review in May<br />
2012 was 0.78%.<br />
The MSCI quarterly review in August 2012 saw no<br />
additions or deletions for the region and only a few<br />
small share in issue and float factor changes, resulting<br />
in minimal turnover for the portfolio and the index.<br />
The index changes were carefully traded to<br />
minimise any deviation from the benchmark (resulting<br />
from trading costs) and were used as an opportunity to<br />
equitise some of the futures exposure.<br />

<strong>INVESTMENT</strong> REVIEW - UNAUDITED<br />
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 SEPTEMbER 2012<br />
Launch Date<br />
26th October 2007<br />
Fund Size<br />
US$104.72 million<br />
Benchmark<br />
MSCI Emerging Markets Index<br />
Fund Review<br />
During the six months ended 30 September 2012, the<br />
Sub-Fund returned -1.86% against a benchmark return<br />
of -1.84%. Since the Sub-Fund inception date, in<br />
October 2007, the Sub-Fund has posted an annualised<br />
return of -3.10% against an annualised benchmark<br />
return of -3.01%.<br />
MSCI implemented changes to their series of<br />
indexes at the end of May 2012. These changes<br />
included normal investment review changes such as<br />
additions, deletions, and float and shares changes. For<br />
MSCI Emerging Market, there were 23 additions, 20<br />
deletions and a number of free float changes and share<br />
in issue changes. The turnover at the MSCI review in<br />
May 2012 was 2.12%.<br />
The MSCI quarterly review in August 2012 saw<br />
two additions and four deletions for the region and<br />
only a few small share in issue and float factor changes,<br />
resulting in minimal turnover for the portfolio and<br />
the index.<br />
The index changes were carefully traded to<br />
minimise any deviation from the benchmark (resulting<br />
from trading costs) and were used as an opportunity to<br />
equitise some of the futures exposure.<br />

Performance Commentary<br />
For the six months ended 30 September 2012, the Sub-<br />
Fund returned 7.44% versus a benchmark return of<br />
7.47%. The Sub-Fund underperformed the benchmark<br />
by three basis points. Since inception the Sub-Fund<br />
has underperformed the benchmark, on an annualized<br />
basis, by 2 basis points and is up 7.47%. During the<br />
period the Sub-Fund was subject to a net inflow of<br />
€7.15 million.<br />
The index reconstitutes on a monthly basis to<br />
include new inflation-linked government bonds that<br />
have been issued and to exclude those bonds, which<br />
have fallen below the minimum maturity of one year.<br />
Overall during the quarter the benchmark duration<br />
lengthened from 8.75 years to 8.79 years.<br />
The period began on a relatively calm note however<br />
managed to fall into the midst of economic turmoil, as<br />
political uncertainty and financial instability loomed<br />
large across the region. There was a reversal to the<br />
positive start to the year, with the Spanish bailout, a<br />
new Greek government, concerns of contagion and<br />
slowdown in China. The ECB cut key rates by 25bps<br />
in July, bringing the main base interest rate to 0.75%<br />
and, more importantly, the deposit rate to 0.00%, thus<br />
entering a new environment where the ECB no longer<br />
paid banks for leaving money with the central bank.<br />
However, it refrained from relaxing rates any further<br />
through the quarter.<br />
In July, ECB President Mario Draghi also relieved<br />
some tension stating "the ECB is willing to do whatever<br />
it takes to preserve the Euro". Draghi delivered on<br />
his commitment in September, unveiling a new and<br />
ambitious scheme to engage in a potentially unlimited<br />
bond buying program, hoping to address the high<br />
borrowing costs prevalent in the Eurozone. Economic<br />
data in the region persisted on the disappointing path.<br />
After stagnating for the first three months of the year,<br />
the Eurozone contracted 0.2% in the April to June<br />
ending period. Economic confidence in the region,<br />
having fallen for seven months, dropped by 1.1 points<br />
to 85 in September, the lowest since August 2009.<br />
Considering a high probability of Greece exiting<br />
the euro zone, Moody's changed its stance from<br />
‘stable’ to ‘negative’ for Germany, the Netherlands and<br />
Luxembourg, stating that it would result in a chain<br />
of financial sector shocks. Moody’s also downgraded<br />
the EFSF, the fund that seeks to contain the debt crisis<br />
from spreading. Fitch downgraded the credit rating<br />
of 18 Spanish banks while Spain’s bleak economic<br />
outlook led to a three notch downgrade (one notch<br />
above junk status). French President Hollande restated<br />
his intentions to deliver on his deficit cutting promises<br />
in France’s first Socialist budget in a decade. President<br />
Hollande has promised to raise taxes by €20 billion<br />
next year, aiming to reduce the deficit to 3%. Spain<br />
ventured into a fifth round of budget cuts and tax<br />
increases, announcing a crisis budget for 2013 amidst<br />
austerity measures, to meet a budget deficit reduction<br />
target of 4.5%. The EU Summit at the end of June<br />
began the arduous path of mapping out solutions for<br />
the debt situation in Europe. The politicians proposed<br />
to recapitalise banks from EFSF/ESM and to move<br />
towards a banking union. The capital of the EIB was<br />
also to be increased by €10 billion along with a €120<br />
billion growth pact. Global economic growth remains<br />
weak as downside risks to economic outlook persist<br />
on the back of the Euro zone sovereign debt crisis<br />
and allied moderate growth outlook in most<br />
developed economies.<br />

MSCI AC Asia (ex-Japan) Index<br />
Performance Commentary<br />
The Sub-Fund launched on 3 May 2012, when the<br />
first subscriptions were made. Since the Sub-Fund<br />
inception date, the Sub-Fund returned 1.47% against a<br />
benchmark return of 0.84%.<br />
MSCI implemented changes to their series of<br />
indexes at the end of May 2012. These changes<br />
included normal investment review changes such as<br />
additions, deletions, and float and shares changes.<br />
For MSCI All Country Asia ex Japan, there were 12<br />
additions, 10 deletions and a number of free float<br />
changes and share in issue changes. The turnover at<br />
the MSCI review in May 2012 was 1.98%.<br />
The MSCI quarterly review in August 2012 saw<br />
three additions and no deletions for the region and<br />
only a few small share in issue and float factor changes,<br />
resulting in minimal turnover for the portfolio and<br />
the index.<br />
The index changes were carefully traded to<br />
minimise any deviation from the benchmark (resulting<br />
from trading costs) and were used as an opportunity to<br />
equitise some of the futures exposure.<br />

shall be had to the assets of the Company attributable<br />
to each class of share; and thirdly, any balance then<br />
remaining and not attributable to any of the classes<br />
of shares shall be apportioned pro-rata as between<br />
the classes of shares based on the Net Asset Value<br />
attributable to each class of shares as at the date<br />
of commencement to wind up and the amount so<br />
apportioned to a class shall be distributed to Holders<br />
pro-rata to the number of shares in that class of<br />

9. Financial Instruments and associated Risks<br />
The Company’s investment activities expose it to the<br />
various types of risk which are associated with the<br />
financial instruments and markets in which the Sub-<br />
Funds invest. The Company’s risk management policies<br />
seek to minimise the potential adverse effects of these<br />
risks on each Sub-Fund's financial performance in order<br />
to satisfy the investment objectives of the Sub-Funds.<br />
The Investment Manager assesses the risk profile of<br />
the Company and the related Sub-Funds on the basis<br />
of the investment policy, strategy and the use made of<br />
financial derivative instruments. Based on the risk profile,<br />
the Investment Manager has determined to calculate<br />
global exposure for all Sub-Funds using the<br />
commitment approach.<br />
Market Risk<br />
Market risk embodies the potential for both loss and gains<br />
and includes price risk, interest rate risk and currency risk.<br />
The Sub-Fund’s strategy on the management of<br />
investment risk is driven by the Sub-Fund’s investment<br />
objective. The investment objective of each Sub-Fund is<br />
to closely match the risk and return characteristics of its<br />
benchmark index.<br />
Price Risk<br />
Price risk is the risk that value of an instrument<br />
will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices<br />
(other than those arising from interest rate risk or<br />
currency risk), whether caused by factors specific to an<br />
individual investment, its issuer or all factors affecting all<br />
instruments traded in the market.<br />
Price risk is managed by each Sub-Fund’s Investment<br />
Manager by investing in diversified portfolios of freely<br />
transferable equity or debt securities or equity or debt<br />
related securities issued by companies or linked to<br />
companies making up the relevant index that each Sub-<br />
Fund tracks. The Sub-Funds’ investments are<br />
subject to the investment restrictions contained in the<br />
UCITS Notices.<br />
172 of 184 | Northern Trust Investment Funds <strong>PLC</strong> - Interim Report and Financial Statements | northerntrust.com<br />
The Sub-Funds may also use the following<br />
instruments for the purpose of efficient portfolio<br />
management: spot and forward currency contracts,<br />
options on securities, indices and currencies, swaps,<br />
futures contracts and options on futures contracts, whenissued<br />
and forward commitment securities subject to the<br />
investment and borrowing limits (10% of the Sub-Fund’s<br />
net assets). The use of techniques and instruments for<br />
efficient portfolio management purposes is subject to the<br />
conditions and within the limits laid down by the Central<br />
Bank of Ireland.<br />
The Company’s overall market positions are<br />
monitored on a daily basis by the Investment<br />
Manager and are reviewed on a regular basis by<br />
the Board of Directors.<br />
Interest Rate Risk<br />
The NT Index Linked Bond Index Fund, the NT<br />
Euro Government Bond Index Fund and the NT<br />
Euro Government Inflation Linked Index Fund<br />
hold interest-bearing financial assets and liabilities<br />
that expose them to risks associated with the<br />
effects of fluctuations in the prevailing levels of<br />
market interest rates on their financial position<br />
and cash flows.<br />
The other Sub-Funds invest in equities and collective<br />
investment schemes and therefore do not have significant<br />
exposure to interest rate risk. The underlying collective<br />
investment scheme may face interest rate risk; however,<br />
the Investment Manager monitors the exposure as part of<br />
their market risk analysis.<br />
The Sub-Funds’ interest rate risk is managed on a<br />
daily basis by the Investment Manager in accordance with<br />
policies and procedures in place. The Sub-Funds’ overall<br />
interest rate risks are monitored on a regular basis by the<br />
Board of Directors. Where the interest rate risks are not in<br />
accordance with the investment policy or guidelines of the<br />
Sub-Fund, the Investment Manager will rebalance<br />
the portfolio.
Currency Risk<br />
The Sub-Funds may invest in financial instruments and<br />
enter into transactions denominated in currencies other<br />
than their functional currencies. They are therefore<br />
exposed to currency risk, as the value of the securities<br />
denominated in other currencies will fluctuate due to<br />
changes in exchange rates.<br />
The Company’s currency risk is managed by the<br />
Investment Manager in accordance with policies and<br />
procedures in place. Forward currency contracts may be<br />
used to hedge the value of the Sub-Funds’ investments<br />
which are designated in a currency other than base<br />
currency of the Sub-Funds.<br />
Other Price Risk<br />
Other price risk is the risk that value of the instruments<br />
will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices<br />
(other than those from interest rate risk or currency<br />
risk), whether caused by factors specific to an individual<br />
investment, its issuer of all factors affecting all<br />
instruments traded in the market.<br />
As the majority of the Sub-Fund’s financial instruments<br />
are carried at fair value with fair value changes recognised<br />
in the income statement, all changes in market conditions<br />
will directly affect net investment income.<br />
Credit Risk<br />
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty to a financial<br />
instrument will fail to discharge an obligation or<br />
commitment that has entered into with the Sub-Fund.<br />
Impairment provisions are provided for losses that have<br />
been incurred by the Balance Sheet date, if any.<br />
The carrying amounts of financial assets best<br />
represent the maximum credit risk exposure at the<br />
Balance Sheet date.<br />
All transactions in listed securities are settled/paid for<br />
upon delivery using approved brokers. All transactions<br />
in listed securities are settled/paid for upon delivery<br />
using approved brokers. The risk of default is considered<br />
minimal, as the exchange of cash and securities between<br />
counterparties is simultaneous. The trade will fail if either<br />
party fails to meet its obligation.<br />
The Investment Manager analyses credit<br />
concentration based on the counterparty of the financial<br />
assets that the Sub-Funds hold. Details of counterparties<br />
are disclosed in the Portfolio and Schedule of Investments.<br />
Substantially all of the cash assets are held with<br />
Northern Trust (Guernsey) Limited (NTGL). Cash<br />
deposited with NTGL is deposited as banker and is held<br />
on its Balance Sheet. Accordingly, in accordance with<br />
usual banking practice, NTGL’s liability to the Company<br />
in respect of such cash deposits shall be that of debtor and<br />
the Company will rank as a general creditor of NTGL.<br />
The financial assets are held with the Custodian, Northern<br />
Trust Fiduciary Services (Ireland) Limited. These assets<br />
are held distinct and separately from the proprietary assets<br />
of the Custodian. Securities are clearly recorded to ensure<br />
they are held on behalf of the Company. Bankruptcy or<br />
insolvency of the Custodian and or one of its agents or<br />
affiliates may cause the Company’s rights with respect to<br />
the securities held by the Custodian to be delayed.<br />
Both Northern Trust Fiduciary Services (Ireland)<br />
Limited and Northern Trust (Guernsey) Limited<br />
are wholly owned subsidiaries of Northern Trust<br />
Corporation. As at 30 September 2012 Northern Trust<br />
Corporation had a long term rating from Standard &<br />
Poor’s of A+ (31 March 2012: A+).<br />
Risk is managed by monitoring the credit<br />
quality and financial positions of the Custodian the<br />
Company uses.<br />
Northern Trust acts as its own sub-custodian in the<br />
US, the UK, Ireland and Canada. In all other markets<br />
Northern Trust appoints a local sub-custodian. Northern<br />
Trust continually reviews its sub-custodian network<br />
to ensure clients have access to the most efficient,<br />
creditworthy and cost-effective provider in each market.<br />
The NT Index Linked Bond Index Fund, the NT<br />
Euro Government Bond Index Fund and the NT Euro<br />
Government Inflation Linked Index Fund invest in<br />
financial assets, which have an investment grade as rated<br />
northerntrust.com | Northern Trust Investment Funds <strong>PLC</strong> - Interim Report and Financial Statements | 173 of 184
y a well-known credit ratings agency. For unrated<br />
assets a rating is assigned using an approach that in the<br />
opinion of the Board of Directors is consistent with<br />
ratings agencies.<br />
In accordance with the Company’s policy, the<br />
Investment Manager monitors the Sub-Funds’ credit<br />
position on a daily basis and the Board of Directors<br />
review it on a regular basis.<br />
Liquidity Risk<br />
The main liability of the Sub-Funds is the redemption<br />
of any shares that investors wish to sell. The Sub-<br />
Funds’ constitution provides for the daily creation and<br />
cancellation of shares and it is therefore exposed to<br />
the liquidity risk of meeting shareholder redemptions<br />
at any time. The Directors are entitled to limit the<br />
number of shares in a Sub-Fund repurchased on any<br />
dealing day to shares representing ten per cent of the<br />
total Net Asset Value of that Sub-Fund on that dealing<br />
day. The Company may satisfy the repurchase request<br />
of a shareholder by a distribution of investments of the<br />
relevant Sub-Fund if the repurchase request would result<br />
in shares representing more than five per cent of the<br />
Net Asset Value of any Fund being repurchased by the<br />
Company on any dealing day.<br />
The Sub-Funds’ financial instruments include bonds<br />
which may not be easily liquidated at an amount close<br />
to fair value in order to meet liquidity requirements, or<br />
to respond to specific events such as deterioration in the<br />
credit worthiness of any particular issuer. The Sub-Funds’<br />
listed securities are considered to be readily realisable as<br />
they are all listed on major worldwide stock exchanges.<br />
The Sub-Funds may borrow up to 10% of their Net Asset<br />
Value for temporary purposes.<br />
The Sub-Funds may, from time to time, invest in<br />
derivative contracts traded over the counter, which are not<br />
traded in an organised market and may be illiquid. As a<br />
result, the Sub-Funds may not be able to liquidate quickly<br />
their investments in these instruments at an amount close<br />
to their fair value to meet their liquidity requirements or<br />
174 of 184 | Northern Trust Investment Funds <strong>PLC</strong> - Interim Report and Financial Statements | northerntrust.com<br />
to respond to specific events such as deterioration in the<br />
creditworthiness of any particular issuer.<br />
In accordance with the Company’s policy, the<br />
Investment Manager monitors the Sub-Funds’ liquidity<br />
risk on a daily basis. If there are material issues the Board<br />
of Directors is notified by the Investment Manager. It<br />
is the Investment Manager’s policy to have liquid assets<br />
equal to 1.05 of the anticipated redemptions.<br />
Operational Risk<br />
Operational risk is the risk of direct or indirect loss<br />
arising from a wide variety of causes associated with<br />
the Company’s processes and infrastructure, and from<br />
external factors other than market, credit, and liquidity<br />
issues such as those arising from legal and regulatory<br />
requirements and generally accepted standards to<br />
corporate behaviour.<br />
Operational risks arise from all of the Company’s<br />
operations. The Company was incorporated with the<br />
purpose of engaging in those activities outlined in the<br />
preceding paragraphs. All administration functions have<br />
been outsourced to Northern Trust International Fund<br />
Administration Services (Ireland) Limited.<br />
Fair Value of Financial assets and Liabilities<br />
Many of the Company’s financial instruments are carried<br />
at fair value on the Balance Sheet. Usually the fair value<br />
of the financial instruments can be reliably determined<br />
within a reasonable range of estimates. For certain other<br />
financial instruments, including amounts due from/<br />
to brokers, accounts payable and accrued expenses,<br />
the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to<br />
the immediate or short-term nature of these financial<br />
instruments. The carrying value of all the Company’s<br />
financial assets and liabilities at the Balance Sheet date<br />
approximated their fair values.<br />
Collective investment schemes are valued at the price<br />
as calculated by the relevant stock exchange, at close of<br />
business, of the collective investment schemes in which<br />
the Company invests. At 30 September 2012, the value<br />
of collective investment schemes valued by the relevant
stock exchange amounted to €7,639,187 (31 March 2012:<br />
€5,402,459).<br />
Fair Value Estimation<br />
FRS 29 requires the Company to classify fair value<br />
measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the<br />
significance of the inputs used in making the measurements.<br />
The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:<br />
■ Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for<br />
identical assets or liabilities (level 1);<br />
■ Inputs other than quoted prices included within<br />
level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability,<br />
either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is,<br />
derived from prices) (level 2);<br />
■ Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on<br />
observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs)<br />
(level 3).<br />
The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the<br />
fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety is<br />
determined on the basis of the lowest level input that is<br />
significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.<br />
For this purpose, the significance of an input is<br />
assessed against the fair value measurement in its entirety.<br />
If a fair value measurement uses observable inputs that<br />
require significant adjustment based on unobservable<br />
inputs, that measurement is a level 3 measurement.<br />
Assessing the significance of a particular input to the fair<br />
value measurement in its entirety requires judgement,<br />
considering factors specific to the asset or liability.<br />
The determination of what constitutes ‘observable’<br />
requires significant judgement by the Company. The<br />
Company considers observable data to be that market<br />
data that is readily available, regularly distributed or<br />
updated, reliable and verifiable, not proprietary, and<br />
provided by independent sources that are actively<br />
involved in the relevant market.<br />
10. Taxation<br />
The Company will not be liable to tax in respect of its<br />
income and gains, other than on the occurrence of a<br />
chargeable event. Generally a chargeable event arises on<br />
any distribution, redemption, repurchase, cancellation,<br />
transfer of shares or on the ending of a “Relevant Period”.<br />
A “Relevant Period” is an eight year period beginning<br />
with the acquisition of the shares by the shareholder<br />
and each subsequent period of eight years beginning<br />
immediately after the preceding Relevant Period.<br />
A chargeable event does not include:<br />
(i) any transactions in relation to shares held in<br />
a recognised clearing system as designated by<br />
order of the Revenue Commissioners of Ireland;<br />
or<br />
(ii) an exchange of shares representing one Sub-<br />
Fund for another Sub-Fund of the Company; or<br />
(iii) an exchange of shares arising on a qualifying<br />
amalgamation or reconstruction of the<br />
Company with another Company; or<br />
(iv) certain exchanges of Shares between spouses<br />
and former spouses.<br />
A chargeable event will not occur in respect of<br />
shareholders who are neither resident nor ordinarily<br />
resident in Ireland and who have provided the Company<br />
with a relevant declaration to that effect.<br />
In the absence of an appropriate declaration, the<br />
Company will be liable to Irish tax on the occurrence of a<br />
chargeable event.<br />
There were no chargeable events during the period<br />
under review.<br />
Capital gains, dividends and interest received may<br />
be subject to withholding taxes imposed by the country<br />
of origin and such taxes may not be recoverable by the<br />
Company or its shareholders.<br />
11. Directors’ Remuneration<br />
A fee of €20,000 (2012: €12,000) is payable annually<br />
to each of those Directors who is not affiliated to The<br />
Northern Trust Company.<br />
