Objectives of interest rate and inflation risk management
1. Protect long-term real value of equity by offsetting interest and inflation risk exposure
embedded in assets by allocating debt with similar, but opposite risk exposure
2. Cost of funding optimized by actively managing debt portfolio
3. Cost of hedging minimised by using natural portfolio synergies between assets,
allowing matching of up to 100% of asset value with appropriate debt

Framework for risk management
•
.
•
Assets divided into risk categories based on nature of inflation and interest rate risk
exposure
Simple risk metrics are used to match assets with appropriate debt within each
category
Fixed nominal-category has first priority for debt allocation to protect shareholders
against inflation
Inflation-indexed revenues reserved to service equity return for shareholders thereby to
a large extent protecting the real value of equity against fluctuations in inflation
