169 Statutory Reports 24 - 109 Financial Statements 110 - 263 Corporate Overview 01 - 23 Risk exposure Through its defined benefit plans, the Company is exposed to a number of risks; the most significant of which are detailed below: i) Asset volatility The plan liabilities are calculated using a discount rate set with reference to bond yields, if plan assets underperform this yield, this will create a deficit. Most of the plan asset investments are in fixed income securities with high grades and in government securities. These are subject to interest rate risk. The Company has a risk management strategy where the aggregate amount of risk exposure on a portfolio level is maintained at a fixed range. All deviations from the range are corrected by rebalancing the portfolio. It intends to maintain the above investment mix in the coming years. ii) Changes in bond yields A decrease in bond yields will increase plan liabilities, although this will be partially offset by an increase in the value of other bond holdings. The Company actively monitors how the duration and the expected yield of the investments are matching the expected cash outflows arising from the employee benefit obligations. It has not changed the processes used to manage its risks from previous periods.
