NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) At 31 December 8 RISK MANAGEMENT Special commission rate risk Special commission rate risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in the market rates. The sensitivity of the income is the effect of the assumed changes in special commission rates on the special commission income for one year, based on the floating rate financial assets and financial liabilities held as at 31 December. A hypothetical 10 basis points change in the weighted average special commission rates of the floating rate financial assets balances at 31 December would impact special commission income by approximately 280,000 (: 280,000) annually in aggregate. There are no floating rate special commission bearing financial liabilities. 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. The Fund is exposed to credit risk for its bank balance, murabaha placements, held to maturity investments and accrued special commission income. The Fund Manager seeks to limit its credit risk by monitoring credit exposures and setting limits for individual counterparties. The table below shows the maximum exposure to credit risk for the components of the balance sheet. Bank balance 835,547 920,110 Murabaha placements 2,315,000,000 2,064,000,000 Held to maturity investment 280,000,000 280,000,000 Accrued special commission income 13,522,199 9,874,164 Total exposure to credit risk 2,609,357,746 2,354,794,274 Murabaha placements and held to maturity investments are with counterparties who have at a minimum investment grade credit rating. Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Fund will encounter difficulty in releasing funds to meet commitments associated with financial liabilities. Liquidity risk may result from an inability to sell a financial asset quickly at an amount close to its fair value. The Fund s terms and conditions provide for redemptions of units throughout the week and it is, therefore, exposed to the liquidity risk of meeting Unitholders redemptions. The Murabaha placements are considered to be readily realizable. The Fund Manager monitors liquidity requirements on a regular basis and seeks to ensure that sufficient funds are available including bank facilities to meet commitments as they arise. All liabilities are contractually payable on a current basis. Currency risk Currency risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to a change in foreign exchange rates. The Fund s functional currency is the Saudi Riyal. As the Fund s financial assets and liabilities are denominated in its functional currency, the Fund is not subject to currency risk. 9
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) At 31 December 9 FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Financial instruments comprise financial assets and financial liabilities. The Fund s financial assets consist of murabaha placements, held to maturity investments and accrued special commission income. Financial liabilities comprise of bank overdrafts and accrued expenses. Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled between knowledgeable willing parties in an arm s length transaction. The fair values of financial instruments are not expected to be materially different from their carrying values. 10 LAST VALUATION DAY The last valuation day of the year was 31 December (: 29 December ). 11 FUND BOARD APPROVAL The financial statement of the fund for the year was approved by the Board of Directors of the fund on 29 March 2018. 10
