The investment in Thomas Miller Holdings Limited represents approximately 15 per cent of the share capital of the entity. Thomas Miller Holdings is the ultimate parent of Thomas Miller (Bermuda) Limited which provides management services to the Association (see note 20). Since there is no active market for the shares in Thomas Miller Holdings Limited, the investment is held at cost, less provisions for any impairment. The increase in valuation during the year is the result of fluctuations in the exchange rate since the shares are denominated in sterling.


Open forward currency contracts represent potential losses or gains on forward contracts, which have been entered into for the purpose of protecting the assets of the Association. These contracts were matched against currency and asset holdings in excess of the amount of the contracts. The contracts have been re-valued at 20th February 2011 using exchange rates prevailing at that date.
