6Amity UK FundECCLESIASTICAL <strong>Investment</strong> <strong>Funds</strong>Report of the Authorised Corporate DirectorThis review covers the year from 1 January 2009 to 31 December 2009.g Over the course of the year the share price of the Amity UK Fund rose by27.6%* with income reinvested, compared to a rise of 30.1% in the FTSEAll Share Index measured on a similar basis <strong>and</strong> 30.4%* in the IMA UK AllCompanies Sector Average.g Cash balances at 31 December 2009 were 4.8%.g Good performances came from holdings in general retailers such as Next,Dunelm <strong>and</strong> Marks & Spencer which benefited from stronger than expectedretail sales. China Shineway (pharmaceuticals), St<strong>and</strong>ard Chartered (banks),Rentokil (support Services) <strong>and</strong> Volex (engineering) were also among the bestperforming companies. On the debit side, the weak housing market <strong>and</strong> slumpin office construction had a negative impact on the performance of the buildingmerchants, SIG <strong>and</strong> Wolseley <strong>and</strong> on the home builder, Berkeley Group.Several defensive holdings also fell in value over the year including UnitedUtilities, Severn Trent <strong>and</strong> Cable & Wireless.g Fund activity included purchases in Astra Zeneca (pharmaceuticals), HSBC<strong>and</strong> St<strong>and</strong>ard Chartered (banks), Booker (food wholesale) <strong>and</strong> National Grid(utilities). The Fund also increased holdings in companies involved in affordablehousing including Galliford Try, Mears, WSP Group <strong>and</strong> Morgan Sindall. Therewere numerous rights issues during the year as companies attempted tostrengthen their balance sheets amid the economic <strong>and</strong> financial uncertainty.The rights issues the Fund participated in included L<strong>and</strong> Securities, BritishL<strong>and</strong>, Cookson, Marshalls, HSBC, Lloyds <strong>and</strong> Holidaybreak.g The Fund benefited from the proceeds of the takeover of BPP Holdings. TheFund took some profits in holdings of Dechra Pharmaceuticals <strong>and</strong> GreatPortl<strong>and</strong> Estates.ProspectsThe economic environment remains challenging <strong>and</strong> it is possible that there willbe further bad news to come. Consequently the Fund will continue to follow acautious approach to investment, maintaining a bias towards the more defensivesectors. The weakness of Sterling should support the performance of companieswhich generate a high proportion of their revenues overseas. Despite thedisappointing outcome of the Copenhagen Summit, we believe that there arestill good opportunities to invest in companies providing services or productsin environmental markets particularly energy conservation, pollution control <strong>and</strong>water treatment.Asset allocation by sectorat 31 December 2009The figures in brackets show allocation at 31 December 2008Healthcare14.8% (14.2%)Financials18.3% (20.5%)Performance1601501401301201101009080706031/12/0431/12/0430/06/0530/06/05Telecommunications5.8% (7.0%)31/12/0531/12/05Amity UK Fund30/06/0630/06/06Utilities4.7% (6.0%)Consumer Services22.4% (21.7%)IMA UK All Companies Sector Average31/12/0631/12/06<strong>Ecclesiastical</strong>AmityUKAOil & Gas4.7% (5.0%)Consumer Goods3.2% (3.3%)Industrials21.9% (18.7%)Figures exclude cashGraph showing the growth of the Amity UK Fund compared to IMA UK AllCompanies Sector Average from 31 December 2004 to 31 Dec 2009,mid-to-mid basis excluding initial charges with net income reinvested for abasic rate UK taxpayer.

10Amity International FundECCLESIASTICAL <strong>Investment</strong> <strong>Funds</strong>Report of the Authorised Corporate DirectorThis review covers the year from 1 January 2009 to 31 December 2009.g Over the course of the year the share price of the Amity International Fund roseby 26.0%*, compared to a rise of 19.6% in the FTSE World Index measured ona similar basis <strong>and</strong> 22.8%* in the IMA Global Growth Sector Average.g Cash balances were kept high throughout the period due to continued cautionover the outlook for global economy <strong>and</strong> at 31 December 2009 were 18.3%.g The Fund benefited from a high exposure to Asian companies as the regionhas weathered the global economic turmoil better than the developingcountries. Some China related holdings which performed strongly includedChina Shineway (pharmaceuticals), Lonking Holdings (engineering), HopFung (cardboard boxes), SIA Engineering (aircraft maintenance) <strong>and</strong> VTech(electronics). Other good performers included the UK engineering companyFenner, the Swiss watch manufacturer, Swatch <strong>and</strong> the Norwegian fertilisercompany, Yara.g Portfolio activity included the acquisition of shares in defensive sectors in themore developed markets including the purchase of pharmaceutical companiessuch as AstraZeneca, GlaxoSmithKline <strong>and</strong> Johnson & Johnson <strong>and</strong> foodretailers such as Carrefour, Metro, Morrison <strong>and</strong> Tesco. The Fund also investedin crop science <strong>and</strong> fertiliser companies, as growing populations <strong>and</strong> incomelevels in developing countries increase food dem<strong>and</strong>, through purchases ofSyngenta <strong>and</strong> Yara. Other purchases in developed markets included Alstom,Aviva, BT Group <strong>and</strong> Swatch Group.g The Fund increased its exposure to Asia <strong>and</strong> especially to China related stocksas this economy was less affected <strong>and</strong> recovered more quickly from the globaldownturn. Acquisitions in this region included purchases of Advanced InfoServices (telecoms), China Resources Power (electricity generation), ChinaHongxing (sports shoes), DBS Group (banking), Li & Fung (trading) <strong>and</strong> JardineMatheson.g The Fund participated in a number of rights issues including AXA, MalayanBanking, Husqvarna <strong>and</strong> Wolseley. The Fund also benefited from proceeds fromthe takeover of Singapore Petroleum <strong>and</strong> British Energy. Sales included Segro,Lloyds Banking Group Rights <strong>and</strong> China Oriental.ProspectsCredit conditions have begun to ease <strong>and</strong> global equity markets have enjoyeda strong bull run, but there is little evidence of any meaningful improvement inWestern economic fundamentals. Japan has experienced many false dawnsover the last 20 years, but was unable to escape the economic consequencesof its banking crisis <strong>and</strong> the high debt levels in many Western economies islikely to impede recovery. Lower exposure to the financial industry meant thatAsia was less exposed to the banking crisis better positioned to deal with thethreat of deflation than many of the western economies <strong>and</strong> appears a moreattractive region for investment. The Fund continues to hold higher than normalcash balances <strong>and</strong> our intention is to adopt a gradual <strong>and</strong> selective strategy,endeavouring to increase the levels of net investment when the outlook seemsdarkest.Asset allocation by geographicalarea at 31 December 2009The figures in brackets show allocation at 31 December 2008Performance2001801601401201008060Europe39.6% (39.4%)31/12/0431/12/04Asia (ex Japan)34.6% (25.2%)30/06/0530/06/0531/12/0531/12/05Amity International FundIMA Global Growth Sector AverageGraph showing the growth of the Amity International Fund compared to IMAGlobal Growth Sector Average from 31 December 2004 to 31 December2009, mid-to-mid basis excluding initial charges with net income reinvested fora basic rate UK taxpayer.

12Amity Sterling Bond FundECCLESIASTICAL <strong>Investment</strong> <strong>Funds</strong>Report of the Authorised Corporate DirectorThis review covers the year from 1 January 2009 to 31 December 2009.g Over the course of the year the share price of the Amity Sterling Bond Fundrose by 12.9%*, compared to a rise of 22.2%* in the IMA £ Strategic BondSector Average. The FTSE All-Stocks Index decreased by 1.2% measured on asimilar basis.g The Fund benefited from the narrowing in the yield advantage of corporatebonds compared to gilts during the year as confidence in the financial marketsimproved. The sharp fall in yield for stocks such as Hammerson 5 ¼% 2016,Next 5 7/8% 2016 <strong>and</strong> Rentokil 5 ¾% 2016 led to large rises in the price ofthe bonds.g Portfolio activity involved reducing the exposure of the Fund to governmentsecurities in order to take advantage of the high credit spreads available fromcorporate bonds <strong>and</strong> preference shares. Purchases included bonds fromRSA, British Telecom, Kingfisher, RaboBank <strong>and</strong> British Sugar. The Fund alsoinvested in issues from the International Finance Facility for Immunisation <strong>and</strong>BUPA. A purchase was also made in an Anglian Water floating rate note whichoffered some protection from inflation as its yield is linked to LIBOR.g The Fund sold holdings in Co-op after it merged with Britannia Building Societyas this increased our exposure to a single non-gilt credit to over 5% of Fundassets which was considered too high.ProspectsThere are strong reasons to believe that gilt yields will be pushed higher in 2010.Inflation is moving up as the depreciation of Sterling <strong>and</strong> rising commodity pricesfeed through to higher import prices. Loose monetary <strong>and</strong> fiscal policy could alsopush up domestically generated inflation. Furthermore the size of the UK budgetdeficit may encourage investors to dem<strong>and</strong> higher yields. In this environment thefall in dem<strong>and</strong> for gilts brought about by the end of quantitative easing should beexpected to drive yields higher.The Fund has no conventional gilt exposure <strong>and</strong> will continue to concentrateon opportunities in corporate bond markets. Whilst corporate bonds do notrepresent as compelling a case as they did at the start of 2009, we still believethey look good value, especially when compared to gilts <strong>and</strong> cash. We remainwary of the danger of higher inflation following the extensive use of quantitativeeasing, high budget deficits <strong>and</strong> loose monetary policy <strong>and</strong> are looking foropportunities to increase the exposure of the Fund to index-linked bonds. Overallthe aim of the Fund will be to maintain a balanced <strong>and</strong> diversified portfolio, with asignificant degree of income security.Asset allocation by Bond Ratingat 31 December 2009The figures in brackets show allocation at 31 December 2008BB3.7% (0.0%)Performance1151101051009590858011/04/200811/04/0811/05/200811/05/0811/06/200811/06/08Unrated24.6% (30.4%)BBB37.0% (34.5%)11/07/200811/07/0811/08/200811/08/0811/09/200811/09/08Amity Sterling Bond Fund11/10/200811/10/0811/11/200811/11/08Cash6.4% (0.7%)IMA £ Strategic Bond Sector Average11/12/200811/12/0811/01/200911/01/0911/02/200911/03/200911/02/09<strong>Ecclesiastical</strong>AmitySterlingBondAAA4.6% (8.4%)A21.1% (26.0%)AA2.6% (0.0%)Graph showing the growth of the Amity Sterling Bond Fund compared toIMA £ Strategic Bond Sector Average from 11 April 2008 to 31 Dec 2009,mid-to-mid basis excluding initial charges with net income reinvested for abasic rate UK taxpayer.

14Higher Income FundECCLESIASTICAL <strong>Investment</strong> <strong>Funds</strong>Report of the Authorised Corporate DirectorThis review covers the year from 1 January 2009 to 31 December 2009.g Over the course of the year the share price of the Higher Income Fund roseby 23.0%*, compared to a rise in the IMA UK Equity & Bond Income SectorAverage of 19.3%*. The FTSE All-Share Index rose 30.1% <strong>and</strong> the FT All-StockGovernment Securities Index decreased by 1.2%, both on a similar basis.g Cash balances increased over the year <strong>and</strong> at 31 December 2009 reached6.9%.g The performance of the Fund benefited from the strong returns from UKcompanies including Fenner (engineering), Marks & Spencer, SpirentCommunications (telecom equipment) <strong>and</strong> Yule Catto (chemicals). SomeChina related equities also generated good returns including China Shineway,Hop Fung <strong>and</strong> Ta Yang. The Fund also benefited from the strong performanceof corporate bonds, which rose in value as credit spreads fell. In contrast,some of the worst performing holdings included large, high yielding, defensivecompanies, such as Cable & Wireless, Ladbrokes, RSA Insurance, Sainsbury<strong>and</strong> Severn Trent.g The bond weighting fell from 57.7% to 45.8% as most new investmentwas targeted towards equities. New purchases of corporate bonds mainlyoccurred at the start of the year when credit spreads were at their widest.Equity investment was mainly in high yielding defensive equities including thepharmaceutical companies, AstraZeneca, GlaxoSmithKline <strong>and</strong> Roche, thebrewer, Diageo, <strong>and</strong> the telecommunications companies, Cable & Wireless <strong>and</strong>BT Group. The Fund also invested in the insurance industry through purchasesof Aviva, RSA Insurance <strong>and</strong> Prudential. The Fund reduced its gilt holdings toraise cash for re-investment in other areas. The Fund also received cash fromthe takeover of British Energy.ProspectsThe ‘Great Recession’ of 2009 proved less catastrophic than many had feared.Though growth has stabilised, it appears fragile <strong>and</strong> anaemic. If it were not forGovernment support <strong>and</strong> corporate restocking, dem<strong>and</strong>, in the West at least,would probably still be falling. Many of the imbalances which caused the crisisremain unresolved. Despite the liquidity <strong>and</strong> monetary stimuli, property pricescontinue to fall in most countries. Banking stresses still persist, made worse by thehigh level of over-indebtedness in the West.We are continuing with the strategy that served us well during the marketdownturn, with higher than normal fixed interest exposure <strong>and</strong> overweight positionsto those sectors that should prove resilient in the event that there is a furthereconomic downturn. We prefer Asian over Western focussed companies withSterling’s weakness providing extensive opportunities for profitable expansion.Asset allocation at 31 December 2009The figures in brackets show allocation at 31 December 2008Performance1601501401301201101009080706031/12/0431/12/0430/06/0530/06/05Fixed Interest43.1% (56.1%)31/12/0531/12/0530/06/0630/06/06Higher Income Fund31/12/0631/12/06<strong>Ecclesiastical</strong>HigherIncomeIMA UK Equity & Bond Income Sector AverageNet Other Assets(Inc cash)7.3% (1.8%)Equities49.6% (42.1%)Graph showing the growth of the Higher Income Fund compared to IMA UKEquity & Bond Income Sector Average from 31 Dec 2004 to 31 Dec 2009,mid-to-mid basis excluding initial charges with net income reinvested for abasic rate UK taxpayer.

The FTSE All Share Index rose 30.1% on a similar basis <strong>and</strong> the IMAUK All Companies Sector Average increased by 30.4%*.g At 31 December 2009, 55.0% of the fund was invested in FTSE 100companies, 24.7% in mid cap companies <strong>and</strong> 14.8% in Smaller UK companies.Cash balances at 31 December 2009 were 5.5% (31 December 2008: 16.7%).g Good performances came from many of the smaller companies in the portfolioincluding Volex (engineering), Pace (electronics), Dunelm (general retail) <strong>and</strong>Spirent (telecom equipment). Some of the larger companies to perform stronglycompared to the market included Rentokil (support services), Next (generalretail), St<strong>and</strong>ard Chartered (banks) <strong>and</strong> Prudential (life assurance). Amid theslowdown in the construction industry, Wolseley, Balfour Beatty <strong>and</strong> Berkeleyall lagged the index. In the sharp market rally some of the large defensivecompanies, such as Sainbury, Morrison Supermarkets, Cable & Wireless, BT<strong>and</strong> National Grid, underperformed as investors switched into more cyclicalsectors.g Fund activity during the year included the purchase of companies in the realestate sector, such as Songbird Estates, Quintain Estates & Development <strong>and</strong>London & Stamford which appear cheap following the collapse in value of theproperty sector during the financial crisis. The Fund also sought to increaseexposure to companies with stable earnings that were placed to withst<strong>and</strong>the difficult economic environment including Booker (food wholesale), AstraZeneca (pharmaceuticals) <strong>and</strong> Cable & Wireless (telecoms). Other purchasesincluded Galiform, Intec, Melrose <strong>and</strong> Valiant Petroleum.g The outlook for the retail sector remains poor as some of the financial stimuliput in place at the height of the financial crisis are slowly withdrawn <strong>and</strong> theFund made sales of Marks & Spencer, Home Retail <strong>and</strong> Next.

ECCLESIASTICAL <strong>Investment</strong> <strong>Funds</strong> 45Notes to the Financial Statements1. Accounting Policiesa. Basis of accountingThe Financial Statements have been prepared in accordancewith the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluationof investments, <strong>and</strong> in accordance with the Statement ofRecommended Practice for Authorised <strong>Funds</strong> issued by the<strong>Investment</strong> Management Association (IMA), in November 2008(the IMA SORP 2008).During the year, the Company adopted the IMA SORP 2008.This has resulted in presentational changes to the Statementof Total Return whereby other (losses)/gains <strong>and</strong> transactioncharges are now classified as Net capital gains/(losses).The effect of this is to remove £201,520 (2008: £3,022,223)from ‘Other (losses)/gains’ <strong>and</strong> reduce ‘Expenses’ by £12,679(2008: £19,002) with a net corresponding change in‘Net capital gains/(losses)’.OtherTransaction(losses)/gains charges2009 2008 2009 2008£’000 £’000 £’000 £’000Amity UK Fund 1 61 2 4Amity European Fund (144) 947 2 3Higher Income Fund 23 430 2 4Amity International Fund (82) 1,573 4 6UK Equity Growth Fund - 1 3 2Amity Sterling Bond Fund - 10 - -(202) 3,022 13 19b. Valuation of investmentsAll investments are valued at their fair value as at 10:00 am on 31December 2009, being the last business day of the financial year.The fair value of non-derivative securities is bid price, excludingany accrued interest. Unquoted investments are shown at theManager’s valuation.c. Foreign exchangeThe values of assets <strong>and</strong> liabilities denominated in foreigncurrencies have been converted into sterling at the exchange rateprevailing at 10:00am on 31 December 2009. Any exchangedifferences arising on translation of investments <strong>and</strong> capitalassets <strong>and</strong> liabilities other than investments are included in “Netcapital gains/(losses)”. Any exchange differences arising ontranslation of other assets or liabilities are included in net revenue.d. RevenueAll dividends on investments declared ex-dividend up to theaccounting date are shown as gross revenue. Bank <strong>and</strong> otherinterest receivable is included on an accruals basis. Accruedinterest purchased <strong>and</strong> sold on interest bearing securities isexcluded from the capital cost of these securities <strong>and</strong> dealt withas part of the revenue of the Company. Revenue from interestbearing securities is accounted for on an effective yield basis,irrespective of the level of discount or premium, <strong>and</strong> is calculatedwith reference to the purchase price of the securities. Revenueis allocated to the share classes of each sub-fund based on theproportion of assets held by each share class. Underwritingcommission is taken to revenue <strong>and</strong> is recognised when theissues take place, except where the sub-fund is required totake up all or some of the shares underwritten, in which case anappropriate proportion of the commission is deducted from thecost of these shares.e. ExpensesAll expenses, other than those relating to the purchase <strong>and</strong> saleof investments <strong>and</strong> Stamp Duty Reserve Tax (SDRT) are chargedagainst revenue, with the exception of Amity Sterling Bond Fundwhere management expenses have been charged against capitalsince inception <strong>and</strong> Higher Income Fund since 2003. Expensesrelating to each sub-fund are allocated to the share classes basedon the proportion of assets held within each share class.f. TaxationThe sub-funds are liable to Corporation Tax applied at a rate of20.0% on interest, overseas dividend revenue <strong>and</strong> underwritingcommission. Deferred tax is provided for by the liability method onall short-term timing differences. UK dividend revenue is disclosednet of any related tax credit. Overseas dividends continue to bedisclosed gross of any foreign tax suffered, the tax element beingshown separately in the taxation note.Where overseas tax has been deducted from overseas revenuethat tax can, in some instances, be set off against the corporationtax payable, by way of double tax relief.g. Deferred taxationThe charge for deferred tax is based on the net revenue for theyear <strong>and</strong> takes into account taxation deferred because of timingdifferences between the treatment of certain items for taxation<strong>and</strong> accounting purposes. Deferred tax is provided using theliability method on all timing differences, calculated at the rate atwhich it is anticipated the timing differences will reverse basedon tax rates <strong>and</strong> laws that have been enacted or substantivelyenacted. Deferred tax assets are recognised only when, on thebasis of available evidence, it is more likely than not that therewill be taxable profits in the future against which the deferred taxasset can be offset. Deferred tax liabilities are not discounted.2. Distribution Policiesa. Revenue distribution to corporate shareholdersA shareholder liable to UK Corporation Tax receives the dividenddistribution <strong>and</strong> associated tax credit as franked investmentincome to the extent that the gross revenue from which thedistribution is made is franked investment income.The shares of class ‘A’ <strong>and</strong> ‘B’ are distribution shares, while theshares of class ‘C’ are accumulation shares.The holders of accumulation shares must add the revenueaccumulated (excluding equalisation) to the cost of such sharesfor capital gains tax purposes.b. EqualisationEqualisation applies only to units purchased during the distributionperiod (Group 2 units). It is the average amount of revenueincluded in the purchase price of all Group 2 units <strong>and</strong> is refundedto the holders of these units as a return of capital. Being capital itis not liable to Income Tax but must be deducted from the cost ofunits for Capital Gains Tax purposes.


46ECCLESIASTICAL <strong>Investment</strong> <strong>Funds</strong>Notes to the Financial Statementsc. Treatment of stock <strong>and</strong> special dividendsThe ordinary element of stocks received in lieu of cash dividendsis recognised as revenue of the sub-fund based on the marketvalue of the investments on the day they are quoted ex-dividend.Any enhancement above the cash dividend is treated as a capitalgain on the investment. Special dividends are recorded asrevenue or capital depending on the underlying substance of thetransaction.d. Treatment of management expensesThe ACD’s <strong>annual</strong> management fee is charged within the netrevenue of the sub-funds. In respect of the Amity Sterling BondFund <strong>and</strong> the Higher Income Fund, the <strong>annual</strong> managementcharge is taken from capital not revenue so the capital value ofthe Fund could be reduced over time.e. Unclaimed distributionDistributions which have remained unclaimed by shareholdersfor more than six years are credited to the capital property of theFund.3. Risk Management PoliciesThe main risks arising from the Company’s financial instrumentsare market price, foreign currency, interest rate, liquidity <strong>and</strong> creditrisks. The ACD reviews policies for managing each of these risks.These policies have remained unchanged since the beginning ofthe period to which these financial statements relate.The ACD regularly considers the asset allocation of the portfolioin order to minimise the risk associated with particular countriesor industry sectors whilst continuing to follow the investmentobjective. Individual fund managers have responsibility formonitoring the existing portfolio selected in accordance with theoverall asset allocation parameters described above <strong>and</strong> seeks toensure that individual stocks also meet the risk reward profile thatis acceptable.The ACD does not use derivative instruments to hedge theinvestment portfolio against market risk, because in its opinion thecost of such a process would result in an unacceptable reductionin the potential for capital growth. No derivatives were held duringthe year under review.• Market risk – arises mainly from uncertainty about futureprices of financial instruments held. It represents the potentialloss the Company might suffer through holding marketpositions in the face of price movements.• Currency risk - the revenue <strong>and</strong> capital value of theCompany’s investments can be affected by foreign currencytranslation movements as some of the Company’s assets <strong>and</strong>income are denominated in currencies other than sterlingwhich is the Company’s functional currency.The ACD has identified three principal areas where foreigncurrency risk could impact on the Company. These are movementin exchange rates affecting the value of investments, short-termtiming differences such as exposure to exchange rate movementduring the period between commencement of the investmenttransaction <strong>and</strong> the date when settlement of the investmentoccurs, <strong>and</strong> finally movements in exchange rates affecting incomereceived by the Company. The Company converts all receipts ofrevenue, received in currency, into sterling on the day of receipt.At the year end date a portion of the net monetary assets of theCompany was denominated in currencies other than sterling withthe effect that the balance sheet <strong>and</strong> total return can be affectedby exchange rate movement.• Interest rate risk - the Company invests in both fixed rate<strong>and</strong> floating rate securities. Any change to the interest ratesrelevant for particular securities may result in either revenueincreasing or decreasing, or the ACD being unable to securesimilar returns on the expiry of contracts or the sale ofsecurities. In addition changes to prevailing rates or changesin expectations of future rates may result in an increase ordecrease in the value of the securities held.In general, if interest rates rise the income potential of theCompany also rises but the value of fixed rate securities willdecline (a<strong>long</strong> with certain expenses calculated by reference tothe assets of the Company). A decline in interest rates will ingeneral have the opposite effect.• Liquidity risk – the Company’s assets comprise mainly readilyrealisable securities, which can be sold. The main liability of theCompany is the redemption of any shares that investors wishto sell.• Credit risk – certain transactions in securities that theCompany enters into expose it to the risk that the counterpartywill not deliver the investment (purchase) or cash (sale) afterthe Company has fulfilled its responsibilities.• Credit rating risk – The current fixed interest portfolioconsists of a range of fixed interest instruments includinggovernment securities, preference shares, permanent interestbearing shares, overseas bonds <strong>and</strong> corporate loans <strong>and</strong>bonds. Limits are imposed on the credit ratings of thecorporate bond portfolio <strong>and</strong> exposures regularly monitored.The Company only buys <strong>and</strong> sells investments through brokerswhich have been approved by the ACD as an acceptablecounterparty. In addition, limits are set as to the maximumexposure to any individual broker that may exist at any time. Theselimits are reviewed regularly.
