NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) 
 
34.          Risk Management (continued) 
 
The table below summarises the Group's assets which are available to support future funding and collateral needs and shows
the extent to which these assets are currently pledged for this purpose. 
 
The Group has adopted the definition of encumbered and unencumbered in the EBA's final guidelines on disclosure of June
2014. Asset encumbrance represents a claim to an asset by another party usually in the form of a security interest such as
a pledge. Encumbrance reduces the assets available in the event of default by a bank and therefore, the recovery rate of
its depositors and other unsecured bank creditors.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) 
 
34.          Risk Management (continued) 
 
·      Market risk 
 
Market risk is the risk that the value of earnings or capital is altered through the movement of market rates. This
includes interest rates, foreign exchange rates, credit spreads and equities. The Group has no trading book exposures.
Market risk arises in the following ways in the Group: 
 
·      Interest rate risk in the Group's retail portfolios, certain income streams and in its funding activities arises
from the different repricing characteristics of non trading assets and liabilities, hereafter referred to as Interest Rate
Risk in the Banking Book (IRRBB); 
 
·      Foreign exchange exposures that arise from foreign currency investments, foreign currency loans, deposits, income
and other foreign currency contracts; 
 
·      Interest rate risk associated with TU's investment portfolio; and 
 
·      Investment risk relating to the Group's pension obligations. 
 
Control and risk mitigants 
 
Control of market risk exposure is managed by ALCo and the Market Risk Forum. These bodies provide oversight of the Group's
market risk position at a detailed level, providing regular reports and recommendations to the Board Risk Committee. 
 
·      Interest rate risk in the Banking Book 
 
The Group offers lending and savings products with varying interest rate features and maturities which create potential
interest rate exposures. IRRBB is the main market risk that could affect the Group's net interest income and arises where
there is potential for changes in benchmark interest rates, which results in a movement in the Banking Book net interest
income. 
 
Interest rate risk is the risk to earnings and capital arising from timing differences on the re-pricing of the Group's
loans and deposits and unexpected changes to the slope and shape of the yield curve. The Group is exposed to interest rate
risk through its dealings with retail customers as well as through lending to and borrowing from the wholesale market.

34.          Risk Management (continued) 
 
Control and risk mitigants 
 
The Group has established limits for its Risk Appetite in this area and stress tests are performed using sensitivity to
fluctuations in underlying interest rates in order to monitor this risk. 
 
IRRBB management information is monitored by the Asset and Liability Management (ALM) team and regularly reviewed by ALCo.
IRRBB primarily arises from the consumer lending portfolios (including the Mortgage pipeline) and retail deposits. Hedging
strategies are implemented as required to ensure that the Group remains within its stated Risk Appetite. 
 
The main hedging instruments used are interest rate swaps and the residual exposure is reported to the ALCo monthly using
two key risk measures. 
 
Capital at Risk (CaR): The CaR approach assesses the sensitivity of a reduction in the Bank's capital to movements in
interest rates. The scenarios considered include both parallel and non-parallel movements of the yield curve and have been
designed to assess impacts across a suitable range of severe but plausible movements in interest rates. The CaR measure is
an aggregate measure of four separate components, each being a distinct form of interest rate risk (Repricing Risk, Basis
Risk, Pipeline Risk and Prepayment Risk). 
 
The table below shows the Group's CaR.  At 29 February 2016 the Group was exposed to net residual risk via a downward rate
scenario.  Due to a combination of balance growth and, in particular, an increase in fixed rate lending via mortgage
products, the net residual risk exposure at 28 February 2017 was to an upward rate scenario. 
 
                              2017                  2016

Net Interest Income (NII) Sensitivity: This measures the effect of a +1.0%; -0.75% (2016: +1.0%; -0.5%) parallel interest
rate shock on the next 12 months NII, based on the re-pricing gaps in the existing portfolio.

The sensitivity analyses presented represent, in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 7, 'Financial Instruments:
Disclosures', Management's assessment of a reasonably possible sensitivity, rather than worst case scenario positions. 
 
·      Foreign exchange risk 
 
The Group invests in non-GBP denominated bonds and may raise funding from the wholesale markets in currencies other than
GBP.  Foreign exchange exposure arises if these are not hedged.  Foreign exchange exposure may also arise through invoices
received which are denominated in foreign currencies.

Substantially all foreign currency exposure is hedged to reduce exposure to a minimum level, within Board-approved limits. 
The residual exposure is not material and, as such, no sensitivity analysis is disclosed.

·      Tesco Underwriting Limited investment portfolio 
 
The TU insurance portfolio assets are invested with a number of counterparties. These investments are predominantly
comprised of government securities, corporate bonds and short term cash investments. 
 
The main risks relate to changes in: 
 
·      interest rates affecting fair value arising as a proportion of the bonds are fixed rate in nature; and 
 
·      credit quality, as the range of assets held are issued by a variety of institutions with different credit
characteristics. 
 
Controls and risk mitigants 
 
Portfolio management is undertaken by the TU investment committee. The Group's Risk function provides oversight and
challenge. 
 
·      Investment risk relating to pension obligations 
 
Pension risk may be defined as the risk to a company caused by its contractual or other liabilities to or with respect to a
pension scheme (whether established for its employees or those of a related company or otherwise). The Group is a
participating employer in the Tesco PLC Pension Scheme. Tesco PLC has recognised the appropriate net liability of the Tesco
PLC pension scheme in accordance with IAS 19, 'Employee Benefits' (refer to note 33). 
 
·      Insurance risk 
 
The Group is exposed to insurance risk through its 49.9% ownership of TU, an authorised insurance company. 
 
The Group defines insurance risk as the risks accepted through the provision of insurance products in return for a premium.
These risks may or may not occur as expected and the amount and timing of these risks are uncertain and determined by
events outside of the Group's control (e.g. flood or vehicular accident). The Group's aim is to actively manage insurance
risk exposure, with particular focus on those risks that impact profit volatility. 
 
Insurance risk is typically categorised in the following way: 
 
·      Underwriting risk - Related to the selection and pricing (or quantification) of the risk currently being transferred
from customers to an insurer; and 
 
·      Reserving risk - Related to valuation and management of financial resources sufficient to pay claims for the risk
already transferred from customers to an insurer. 
 
Controls and risk mitigants 
 
The Insurance Risk team is responsible for monitoring the potential for financial volatility arising from insurance risk
exposures and consistency with the Group's Risk Appetite. The team provides subject matter expertise in the monitoring of
TU.  TU operates a separate risk framework with dedicated risk and compliance teams and a suite of TU risk policies to
ensure that the TU insurance portfolio is operating within agreed Risk Appetite.  Performance of the portfolio is monitored
and reported to the ERC on a monthly basis against specific KPI thresholds and limits. 
 
·      Residual price risk 
 
Residual price risk is the risk that the fair value of a financial instrument and its associated hedge will fluctuate
because of changes in market prices, for reasons other than interest rate or credit risk. The Group has available-for-sale
investment securities that are held at fair value in the Company and Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

Controls and risk mitigants 
 
The Group has established appropriate hedging strategies to mitigate the interest rate and foreign exchange risks. Residual
price risk remains. 
 
The table below demonstrates the Group's exposure to residual price risk at the year end. Included in the table is the
expected impact of a 10% shock in market prices on the Group's available-for-sale investment securities. The figures shown
are prior to hedging activities which mitigate the interest rate and foreign exchange risks.

·      Regulatory risk 
 
Regulatory risk is the risk of reputational damage, liability or material loss from failure to comply with the requirements
of the financial services regulators or related codes of best practice applicable to the business areas within which the
Group operates. The Group's aim is to always avoid material breaches of laws and requirements. In the event that legal or
regulatory requirements are not met, effective remediation plans will be put in place. 
 
Controls and risk mitigants 
 
As part of the Group's Policy Framework, a dedicated Regulatory Advice and Compliance team is responsible for the
Compliance Policy which is approved by the Group's Board, as well as monitoring, challenge and oversight of regulatory risk
and compliance across the Group's business. Guidance and advice to enable the business to operate in a compliant manner is
provided by the Regulatory Advice and Compliance and Regulatory Legal teams. 
 
The Group's Legal function has responsibility for commercial legal work, litigation/dispute resolution matters, providing
guidance on mortgages regulatory compliance, advising on competition law and supporting the Group's Treasury activity. The
Legal team also comprises the Company Secretarial function which, in addition to its role supporting the Board and
maintaining statutory books, ensures the Company complies with all applicable governance codes. 
 
Business areas manage conduct risk and use a range of management information to monitor the fair treatment of customers. A
framework of product-led conduct management information has been developed and is reviewed by Senior Management in the
business lines.  Customer outcomes are also assessed as part of the development and design of new products and through
annual product reviews of existing products. The ERC and Board review and challenge delivery of fair outcomes for customers
and are provided with oversight of the management information.
