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 />

MSCI Japan Index<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 />

MSCI Pacific (ex-Japan) Index<br />

Fund Review<br />

During the six months ended 30 September 2012,<br />

the Sub-Fund returned 9.36% against a benchmark<br />

return of 9.27%. Since the Sub-Fund inception date, in<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 />

THE NT EMERGING MARKETS INDEX FUND<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 />

commencement to wind up; secondly, in the payment<br />

to the holders of the Subscriber Shares of sums<br />

up to the nominal amount paid thereon out of the<br />

enable such payment in full to be made, no recourse<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 />
