 1. Direct investments, which generally constitute an agreement with another party, represent an exposure to untraded and often less volatile asset classes. Direct investments also include physical assets, bilateral loans and private equity, but exclude hedge funds.       
 2. A further breakdown of property is provided in note 4.07.                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
 3. Traded securities are defined by exclusion. If an instrument is not a Direct Investment, then it is classed as a traded security.

 1. The underlying reference portfolio has had no        
 reference entity defaults during the period . The CDOs  
 are termed as super senior since default losses on the  
 reference portfolio have to exceed 27.5%, on average    
 across the reference portfolio, before the CDOs incur   
 any default losses. Assuming an average recovery rate of 
 30%, then over 39% of the reference names would have to 
 default before the CDOs incur any default losses. The   
 CDOs are valued using an external valuation which is    
 based on observable market inputs. This is then         
 validated against the counterparty valuation.
