Market risk applies to all investments accounted for at fair value. Market risk comprises: Currency risk Currency risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate, in ands, because of changes in foreign exchange rates. Fair value interest rate risk Fair value interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Price risk Price risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices, whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual instrument or its issuer, or by factors affecting all instruments traded in the market. The investment mandate is structured by the board of trustees to be consistent with the fund's investment strategy. Market risk is managed in accordance with the fund's investment strategy and within the framework of statutory requirements. All components of market risk are, in turn, managed by the independent asset managers, appointed by the trustees in accordance with their mandates or investment policies, through diversification. Cash flow interest rate risk Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in the interest rate. In the case of a floating rate debt instrument, for example, such fluctuations would result in a change in the effective interest rate of the financial instrument, usually without a corresponding change in its value. Cash flow interest risk is limited to interest bearing financial instruments that are accounted for at amortised cost. Cash flow interest rate risk is managed in accordance with the fund's investment strategy by the fund's independent asset managers, in accordance with their mandates or investment policies, inter alia, by entering into floating rate loan agreements in preference to fixed rate agreements. 27

28 SCHEDULE HA Notes to the Annual Financial Statements Credit risk Credit risk is the risk that one-party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation, and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. A credit risk also arises when the fund has the right of set-off or to settle net in respect of certain assets and liabilities but does not intend to do so. Credit risk is managed by investing in well researched institutions of high credit standing and reputation. Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the fund will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet commitments associated with financial instruments. Liquidity risk may result from an inability to sell a financial asset at close to its fair value on short notice. This risk is managed by evaluating the liquidity restrictions of all fund investments and then evaluating the possible impact of such restrictions, taking into account the diversification within the fund's investments. Solvency risk Solvency risk is the risk that the investment returns on assets will not be sufficient to meet the fund's contractual obligation to members. Periodic valuations are conducted by the actuary of the fund at least at the intervals prescribed by the Pension Funds Act in South Africa. The board of trustees, with the advice of the fund's actuary, considers and takes corrective action to mitigate this risk and to ensure that appropriate assets are held to meet the fund's obligation to members and all other liabilities. Legal risk Legal risk is the risk that the fund will be exposed to contractual obligations which have not been provided for. The fund ensures that provisions have been raised in the financial statements for all significant contractual obligations in terms of the rules. 28
