* +10% represents a movement in favour of the Group and -10% represents a movement against the Group.
In addition, the F&C REIT put options are disclosed in note 27 at fair value. A 10% movement in the fair value of the options at 31 December 2012 would result in a £3.4m (31 December 2011: £4.5m) charge or credit to the Income Statement and to equity. Impairment of financial assets can also be affected by changes in the relevant underlying risk.
(d) Capital A summary of the Group’s capital and the net assets which it represents is shown below:

Note 35 describes the Group’s management of capital, working capital and regulatory capital requirements.
37. Insurance risk management The Group’s insurance contracts were all annuity contracts which guaranteed payment during the lifetime of the annuitant at a specified level or with a specified escalation factor. They were all 100% reinsured with Friends Life Limited. The insurance contracts were all transferred to Friends Life Limited in 2012.
The only risk that the Group was subject to in respect of these contracts was the credit risk of the reinsurer. Given the small amount at risk (£nil at 31 December 2012; £2.0m at 31 December 2011), this was not considered to be significant.
