5.       There have been no material changes to solvency capital during the 
final quarter. The investment policy for non-linked assets remains on a prudent 
basis, with no exposure to equity investments: non-linked liabilities are 
matched by government backed gilts and bonds, and surplus assets are invested in 
AAA rated money market funds. This policy continues to immunise the capital base 
from stock market falls and both widening spreads and credit defaults on 
corporate bonds.
