A 10% strengthening of the pound against the Euro would lead to £41,000 (2015: £52,000) decrease in the Company profits and
equity, conversely a 10% weakening of the pound against the Euro would lead to the same increase in the Company profits and
equity. 
 
Interest rate risk 
 
Interest rate risk is the potential adverse impact on the Company and Group's future cash flows from changes in interest
rates; and arises from the differing interest rate risk characteristics of the Company and Group's assets and liabilities.
In particular, fixed rate savings and borrowing products expose the Group to the risk that a change in interest rates could
cause either a reduction in interest income or an increase in interest expense relative to variable rate interest flows.
The Group seeks to "match" interest rate risk on either side of the Statement of Financial Position. However, this is not a
perfect match and interest rate risk is present on: Money market transactions of a fixed rate nature, fixed rate loans and
fixed rate savings accounts. There is interest rate mismatch in Arbuthnot Latham and Secure Trust Bank. This is monitored
on a daily basis in conjunction with liquidity and capital. The interest rate mismatch is daily monitored, throughout the
maturity bandings of the book, on a parallel shift scenario for 50, 100 and 200 basis points movement. The Group consider
the 50, 100 and 200 basis points movement to be appropriate for scenario testing given the current economic outlook and
industry expectations. This typically results in a pre-tax mismatch of £0.5m to £2.0m (2015: £0.4m to £1.8m) for the Group,
with the same impact to equity pre-tax. The Company has no fixed rate exposures, but a upward change of 50 basis points on
variable rates would increase pre-tax profits and equity by £7,000 (2015: increase pre-tax profits and equity by £7,000). 
 
The following tables summarise the re-pricing periods for the assets and liabilities in the Company and Group, including
derivative financial instruments which are principally used to reduce exposure to interest rate risk. Items are allocated
to time bands by reference to the earlier of the next contractual interest rate re-price and the maturity date.

(d) Liquidity risk 
 
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its obligations associated with its financial
liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. 
 
The Group's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity
to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or
risking damage to the Group's reputation. The liquidity requirements of the Group are met through withdrawing funds from
its Bank of England Reserve Account to cover any short-term fluctuations and, longer term funding to address any structural
liquidity requirements. 
 
The Group has formal governance structures in place to manage and mitigate liquidity risk on a day to day basis. The Board
of each bank sets and approves the liquidity risk management strategy for each subsidiary. The Assets and Liabilities
Committee ("ALCO"), comprising senior executives of each Company, monitors liquidity risk. Key liquidity risk management
information is reported by the finance teams and monitored by the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer on a
daily basis.  The ALCO meets monthly to review liquidity risk against set thresholds and risk indicators including early
warning indicators, liquidity risk tolerance levels and Individual Liquidity Adequacy Assessment Process ("ILAAP")
metrics. 
 
The PRA requires a firm to maintain at all times liquidity resources which are adequate, both as to amount and quality, to
ensure that there is no significant risk that its liabilities cannot be met as they fall due. There is also a requirement
that a firm ensures its liquidity resources contain an adequate buffer of high quality, unencumbered assets (i.e.
Government Securities in the liquidity asset buffer); and it maintains a prudent funding profile. The liquidity assets
buffer is a pool of highly liquid assets that can be called upon to create sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities on
demand, particularly in a period of liquidity stress. The liquidity resources outside the buffer must either be marketable
assets with a demonstrable secondary market that the firm can access, or a credit facility that can be activated in times
of stress. 
 
Arbuthnot Latham & Co., Limited ("AL") has a Board approved ILAAP. The liquidity buffer required by the ILAAP has been put
in place and maintained since that time. Liquidity resources outside of the buffer are made up of deposits placed at the
Bank of England. The ILAAP is updated annually. 
 
The Liquidity Coverage Ratio ("LCR") regime has applied to the Group from 1 October 2015, requiring management of net 30
day cash outflows as a proportion of high quality liquid assets. The actual LCR has significantly exceeded the regulatory
minimum throughout the year. 
 
The Group is exposed to daily calls on its available cash resources from current accounts, maturing deposits and loan
draw-downs. The Group maintains significant cash resources to meet all of these needs as they fall due. The matching and
controlled mismatching of the maturities and interest rates of assets and liabilities is fundamental to the management of
the Group. It is unusual for banks to be completely matched, as transacted business is often of uncertain term and of
different types. 
 
The maturities of assets and liabilities and the ability to replace, at an acceptable cost, interest bearing liabilities as
they mature are important factors in assessing the liquidity of the Group and its exposure to changes in interest rates.
