10.4 DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

Financial derivatives that Gener and its subsidiaries hold correspond primarily to transactions entered into with the intent to hedge interest and exchange rate volatility arising from financing development projects.

The Company, in line with its risk management policy, enters into interest rate and cross currency swaps to reduce the anticipated variability of the un- derlying debt’s future cash flows.

The portfolio of derivative instruments as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, is detailed as follows:

(A) CASH FLOW HEDGES (A.1) INTEREST RATE SWAPS:

These swap contracts partially hedge the syndicated loan related to Empresa Eléctrica Angamos S.A. and Empresa Eléctrica Ventanas S.A. The fair values are as follow:
