Similarly, the Nedbank Retail and Nedbank Business Banking Clusters were merged to form the Nedbank Retail and Business Banking Cluster. The
comparative segment information previously presented for Nedbank Corporate, Nedbank Capital, Nedbank Retail and Nedbank Business Banking has been
represented based on the new merged clusters, ie Nedbank Corporate and Investment Banking and Nedbank Retail and Business Banking. This had the
consequential effect that certain intergroup assets and liabilities and the related eliminations between Nedbank Retail and Business Banking and the
Centre have been restated.

FAIR-VALUE HIERARCHY
for the year ended
Financial instruments carried at fair value
The fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received for the sale of an asset or paid for the transfer of a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Underlying the definition of fair value is an assumption that an entity is a going concern
without any intention or need to liquidate, to curtail materially the scale of its operations or to undertake a transaction on adverse terms. Fair value is not,
therefore, the amount that an entity would receive or pay in a forced transaction, involuntary liquidation or distressed sale.
The existence of published price quotations in an active market is the most reliable evidence of fair value and, where they exist, they are used to measure
the financial asset or financial liability. A market is considered to be active if transactions occur with sufficient volumes and frequencies to provide pricing
information on an ongoing basis. These quoted prices would generally be classified as level 1 in terms of the fair-value hierarchy.
Where a quoted price does not represent fair value at the measurement date or where the market for a financial instrument is not active, the group
establishes fair value by using a valuation technique. These valuation techniques include, but are not limited to, reference to the current fair value of
another instrument that is substantially the same in nature, reference to the value of the assets of underlying business, earnings multiples, discounted-
cashflow analysis and various option pricing models. Valuation techniques applied by the group would generally be classified as level 2 or level 3 in terms
of the fair-value hierarchy. The determination of whether an instrument is classified as level 2 or level 3 is dependent on the significance of observable
inputs versus unobservable inputs in relation to the fair value of the instrument. Inputs typically used in valuation techniques include discount rates,
appropriate swap rates, volatility, servicing costs, equity prices, commodity prices, counterparty credit risk, and the group's own credit on financial
liabilities.
The group has an established control framework for the measurement of fair value, which includes formalised review protocols for the independent review
and validation of fair values separate from the business unit entering into the transaction. The valuation methodologies, techniques and inputs applied to
the fair-value measurement of the financial instruments have been applied in a manner consistent with that of the previous financial year.
Fair-value hierarchy
The financial instruments recognised at fair value have been categorised into the three input levels of the International Financial Reporting Standards
(IFRS) fair-value hierarchy as follows:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date.
Level 2: Valuation techniques based on (directly or indirectly) market-observable inputs. Various factors influence the availability of observable inputs.
These factors may vary from product to product and change over time. Factors include the depth of activity in the relevant market, the type of product,
whether the product is new and not widely traded in the market, the maturity of market modelling and the nature of the transaction (bespoke or generic).
Level 3: Valuation techniques based on significant inputs that are not observable. To the extent that a valuation is based on inputs that are not market-
observable the determination of the fair value can be more subjective, depending on the significance of the unobservable inputs to the overall valuation.
Unobservable inputs are determined on the basis of the best information available and may include reference to similar instruments, similar maturities,
appropriate proxies or other analytical techniques.
All fair values disclosed below are recurring in nature.

Effect of changes in significant unobservable assumptions to reasonable possible alternatives ' level 3 instruments
The fair-value measurement of financial instruments are, in certain circumstances, measured using valuation techniques that include assumptions that are not market observable. Where these scenarios apply, the group
performs stress testing on the fair value of the relevant instruments. In performing the stress testing, appropriate levels for the unobservable-input parameters are chosen so that they are consistent with prevailing
market evidence and in line with the group's approach to valuation control. The following information is intended to illustrate the potential impact of the relative uncertainty in the fair value of financial instruments for
which valuation is dependent on unobservable-input parameters and which are classified as level 3 in the fairvalue hierarchy. However, the disclosure is neither predictive nor indicative of future movements in fair value.

(1) Unweighted values are calculated as outstanding balances maturing or callable within 30 days (for inflows and outflows).
(2) Weighted values are calculated after the application of respective haircuts (for HQLA) or inflow and outflow rates (for inflows and outflows).
(3) Note that total cash outflows less total cash inflows may not be equal to total net cash outflows to the extent that regulatory caps have been applied to cash inflows as specified by the regulations.
The figures above reflect the simple average of the month-end values at 31 October 2015, 30 November 2015 and 31 December 2015 based on regulatory
submissions to SARB. This section on the liquidity coverage ratio has not been audited by the group's auditors.
