Market risk arises in the Group due to fluctuation in the value of liabilities and the value of investments held. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return on assets. The nature of the Group’s exposure to market risk and its objectives, policies and procedures for managing market risks have not changed significantly from the prior period although rigour has been applied to these in light of current market conditions and volatility. Refer below for more detail. Management of market risk The management of each of these major components of market risk and the exposure of the Group at the reporting date to each major risk is addressed below. a. Interest rate risk Interest rate risk arises primarily from the Group’s investments in debt securities, cash and cash equivalents and its long-term debt obligations. However, changes in investment values attributable to interest rate changes are mitigated by corresponding and partially offsetting changes in the economic value of insurance and investment contract liabilities. As a result of this, the exposure to interest rate risk is managed by the asset managers through the limit in the investment mandates with regard to investing in debt securities, as well as the internal benchmark performance that the asset managers are measured against. The nature of the Group’s exposure to interest rate risk and its objectives, policies and procedures for managing interest rate risk have not changed significantly from the prior period.
