The average credit quality of CPF at the end of 2022 was A, while the average one year default probability was 0.04%. The sensitivity of the portfolio to interest rate changes was close to that of the benchmark; in particular, the so-called modified duration of the portfolio was 3.17, while the duration of the benchmark stood at 3.24 at the end of December 2022.

As mentioned in the introduction, at the end of 2022 the CPF consisted of eight compartments. Each compartment holds a number of CPF units or shares in the CPF of a standard size. Changes in the market valuation of the CPF are reflected in the price of the units referred to as the Net Asset Valuation, reflecting the market valuation of the assets belonging to each compartment at the end of each month.
The movements and values are presented in the tables below. Net Asset Values (NAV) are in EUR.

3.4.Financial performance
The CPF ended the year with an economic result of EUR -1,166.7 million. This result needs to be viewed in the context of very difficult investment conditions in international bond markets, as described in detail in the CPF annual report.
The main driver for the 2022 result was the loss from the change in fair value of securities and interests on securities (EUR -1,155.2 million) which was reduced by EUR 39.3 million from net currency gains from holding USD-denominated assets to a net loss on securities of EUR 1,115.9 million. EUR 51.2 million losses
(EUR -11.2 million from forwards and EUR -40.0 from cash) were related to hedging the currency risk of USD-denominated securities and are largely offset by currency and other gains from holding USD-denominated assets included in the security result above.
