29.2 Market risk
The Company takes on exposure to market risk,
which is the risk that the fair value or future cash
flow of a financial instrument will fluctuate because
of changes in market prices. Market risk arises from
open positions in interest rates, currency and equity
products, all of which are exposed to general and
specific market movements and changes in the level
of volatility of market rates or prices such as
interest rates, credit spreads, foreign exchange
rates and equity prices.
