Investment properties are leased to commercial tenants. Investment properties are valued using discounted cash flow analysis using assumptions based on the repayment of the underlying loan. The valuation model discounts the expected future cash flows using a discount rate which includes a credit spread allowance associated with that asset. The redemption and default assumptions are derived from the assumptions for the Group’s bond portfolio. The Group’s investment property is held by the Group’s Jersey Property Unit Trust (“JPUT”). Rental income received in the year from investment properties was £1m (2023: £1m). Minimum lease payments receivable on leases of investment properties are as follows (undiscounted cash flows):

15. FINANCIAL INVESTMENTS The Group’s financial investments that are measured at fair value through the profit or loss are either managed within a fair value business model, or mandatorily measured at fair value. The Group’s financial investments that are measured at amortised cost are held within a business model where the intention of holding the instruments is to collect solely payments of principal and interest. The table below summarises the classification of the Group’s financial assets and liabilities.
