proportionately.

liabilities, although this will be partially offset by an increase in the value of the current plans’
bond holdings.
Investment risks - The risk of the investment underperforming and not being sufficient to meet
the liabilities. This risk is mitigated by closely monitoring the performance of investment.

advised by the actuary. In addition to above, the gratuity plan exposes the Company to longevity
