Our story
Old Mutual plc is an international 
investment, savings, insurance,  
and banking group. Old Mutual 
began in Cape Town in 1845  
as South Africa’s first mutual  
life insurance company, offering 
financial security in uncertain times.

In March 2016, we announced a new strategy  
for Old Mutual plc, called ‘managed separation’ 
which will result in four strong independent 
businesses. The strategy aims to unlock and  
create significant long-term value for our 
shareholders by separating the businesses into 
standalone entities. OM Asset Management is 
now an independent business. Our remaining 
three businesses are Old Mutual Emerging 
Markets, Nedbank and Old Mutual Wealth.

Our three focus areas

Since announcing the managed separation 
strategy in March 2016, Old Mutual plc  
has had three fundamental areas of focus:

1

Executing  
a number of
transactions

2

Winding
down the plc
Head Office

3

Ensuring the 
 businesses are ready  
for independent future

We are now running Old Mutual plc as an active  portfolio  
manager of the underlying businesses.

Annual Report and Accounts 2017 

Chief Executive’s review 

continued 

IFRS profit after tax of R10.2 billion increased by 46% from R7.0 

billion in the prior year. This was driven primarily by higher actual 

investment returns in South Africa and Zimbabwe. In the context of 

a tough economic and political landscape across several of 

OMEM’s key markets for much of the year, including South Africa, 

Zimbabwe and Kenya, the business delivered resilient financial 

results with pre-tax AOP of R13.3 billion, up 5% on the prior year. 

The improvement in AOP was driven by good progress at Old 

Mutual Insure and Rest of Africa, reflecting signs of a turnaround.  

Key adjusting items of AOP to IFRS profit include higher short-term 

fluctuations on the long-term investment return of R2.2 billion 

(2016: negative R550 million) driven by Zimbabwe’s equity market 

performance and the profit on disposal of our joint venture in India 

of R1.4 billion. This was partly offset by the one-off managed 

separation and standalone costs totalling R237 million (2016: Rnil); 

and goodwill impairments of R1.5 billion (2016: R1.3 billion) relating 

to East Africa and AIVA in Latin America. 

OMEM’s underlying IFRS operating and administration expenses 

of R18.8 billion were up 4% on the prior year below SA inflation in 

2017. 

Gross flows of R214.4 billion were flat against the prior year, with 

growth in the Mass and Foundation Cluster and in Wealth and 

Investments. Life APE sales of R13.1 billion were 3% behind the 

prior year, mainly due to lower group assurance and annuity sales 

in Corporate. This was offset by strong corporate flows in the 

Malawi business.  

Net client cash flow (NCCF) of R14.5 billion was R2.5 billion below 

the prior year, with a significant non-life outflow in Corporate as well 

as a R3.3 billion outflow from the Namibian government pension 

fund. NCCF in 2017 benefited from R3.0 billion of the Old Mutual 

International flows that were previously reported in OMW and 

comparatives have not been restated. Funds under Management 

increased to R1.2 trillion, up 10% against the prior year. 

The Property & Casualty underwriting margin of 2.5% improved 

from 1.5% in the prior year. This was driven by a turnaround in OM 

Insure’s underwriting result following an improvement in claims 

experience despite catastrophe losses as well as an improvement 

in the claims environment in East Africa following the remediation of 

the loss-making business. 

Nedbank  

Nedbank ranks as a top-5 bank by capital on the African continent 

and Ecobank, in which Nedbank maintains a 21.2% shareholding, 

ranks within the top-10 banks by assets on the African continent. 

Nedbank is South Africa's fourth-largest bank by market 

capitalisation, total assets and headline earnings. It is also a 

leading corporate bank and a market leader in commercial property 

and renewable energy finance and has a strong position in 

household motor finance, household deposits and card acquiring.  

It operates a unique asset management model as part of an 

integrated wealth management business. Through its own 

operations in SADC and Rest of Africa, and through its pan-African 

banking alliance with Ecobank, Nedbank provides the Group’s 

customers access to Africa's largest banking network. 

Nedbank produced a solid performance in a macro and political 

environment that has proved volatile and challenging. Headline 

earnings, including losses in associate income from ETI of R744 

million, increased by 2.8% to R11.8 billion. This translated into an 

increase in DHEPS of 2.4% to 2,406 cents and an increase in 

HEPS of 2.2% to 2,452 cents.  

As in prior periods, results are highlighted both including and 

excluding ETI (referred to as managed operations) to provide a 

better understanding of the performance of the business given the 

volatility in ETI’s results in 2016 and 2017. Managed operations 

produced headline earnings growth of 7.8% to R12.8 billion, with 

slower than expected revenue growth, more than offset by reduced 

impairments and good cost management. 

ROE (excluding goodwill) and ROE remained flat at 16.4% and 

15.3%, respectively. ROE in managed operations (excluding 

goodwill and ETI) also remained stable at 18.1%. ROA decreased 

0.01% to 1.22% and excluding ETI, ROA in managed operations 

improved from 1.29% to 1.33%. Return on RWA increased from 

2.23% to 2.30%. 

Nedbank’s CET1 and Tier 1 capital ratios of 12.6% and 13.4% 

respectively, average LCR for the fourth quarter of 116.2% and  

an NSFR of above 100%, are all Basel III compliant and are a 

reflection of a strong balance sheet. On the back of solid earnings 

growth in managed operations and a strong capital position, a final 

dividend of 675 cents was declared, an increase of 7.1%. The total 

dividend per share increased 7.1% to 1,285 cents, ahead of HEPS 

growth of 2.2%. 

Old Mutual Wealth  
Old Mutual Wealth is a leader in the UK and in selected offshore 
markets in wealth management, providing advice-led investment 
solutions and investment platforms to over 900,000 customers, 
principally in the affluent market segment. At the core of its 
proposition is a multi-channel wealth offering driving Integrated 
NCCF with leading advice and investment solutions. 

Managed Separation  
Delivery on schedule  
When we unveiled the managed separation strategy in March 
2016, we said that we aimed for it to be materially complete by  
the end of 2018. Subject to addressing the remaining issues, 
we are on track to deliver the managed separation as planned.  

OMW‘s IFRS post-tax profit was £99 million for 2017, compared to 
a loss of £4 million in 2016, principally due to the exceptional net 
performance fees in Single Strategy.  

As part of the listing of Quilter, we intend to hold a secondary 
offering of up to 9.6% with the proceeds to be retained by Old 
Mutual plc and its subsidiaries.  

Reported OMW AOP of £363 million for 2017 was 40% higher than 
prior year (2016: £260 million), and includes net performance fees 
of £101 million in 2017 (2016: £26 million). Pre-tax AOP on a 
standalone basis (reflecting the perimeter of the business post-
listing which excludes the results from the Single Strategy 
business) was up 18% to £209 million (2016: £177 million, which 
included a £27 million charge for restructuring Heritage fees).  

Key reconciling items between the IFRS profit and pre-tax Adjusted 
Operating Profit (AOP) were UK Platform transformation costs of 
£74 million (2016: £102 million), one-off costs in 2017 relating to 
Managed Separation of £32 million (in 2016, these one-off costs 
were included within AOP), costs of £69 million associated with 
voluntary customer remediation in legacy products, the combined 
effects of goodwill amortisation and the impact of acquisition 
accounting totalling £103 million (2016: £140 million), and 
movements in policyholder tax. 

Reported NCCF performance was strong at £10.9 billion, up 110% 
on prior year (2016: £5.2 billion) driven by buoyant market 
conditions and robust investor confidence. Excluding the flows for 
the Single Strategy business, the NCCF for the standalone 
business was also strong, increasing 91% to £6.3 billion (2016: 
£3.3 billion).  

Reported Assets under Management/Administration (AuMA) was 
£138.5 billion, up 20% from the end of 2016 (31 December 2016: 
£115.3 billion excluding our divested Italian business (£6.2 billion) 
and South African branches (£2.0 billion) which have been 
transferred to OMEM). Of the 20% increase in AuMA, 10%  
(£11.0 billion) is due to positive market performance, 9%  
(£10.9 billion) resulted from positive NCCF and 1% (£1.3 billion) 
came from the acquisition of Caerus and Attivo.  

The unaudited 31 December 2017 Solvency II ratio was 155%. 
Adjusting for the £200m subordinated debt security issued in 
February 2018 and the new term loan would result in a pro forma 
Solvency II ratio of 171% at 31 December 2017 (before any impact 
of the sale of Single Strategy).  

We believe this includes sufficient free cash to complete all 
committed strategic investments (including the UK Platform 
Transformation Programme) and to allow for any further potential 
costs associated with the FCA’s Thematic Review, including for 
any potential fine which may be levied by the FCA, in respect of 
which no provision has yet been made. The impact of this prudent 
policy is that Quilter expects to maintain a solvency position in 
excess of its policy in the near-term. 

Work to wind-down the plc head office and remove circa £95 
million of central costs is on track and progressing well. We 
continue to expect managed separation one-off costs to remain 
in line with our previous guidance. The quality of NAV has been 
materially improved as we have converted uncertainties within 
the assets into certain cash and continue to manage contingent 
liabilities and unwind complex arrangements which existed within 
the Group structure. Subject to addressing the remaining issues  
we have estimated a cash cost of £130 million for this work. 

Progress 
The managed separation of the Group is complex. However, the 
process has gained momentum and we achieved significant further 
progress in the second half of 2017 through the conclusion of 
numerous transactions and other actions to reduce the Group’s 
liabilities and exposures. Since reporting our 2017 interim results, 
we have achieved a number of meaningful steps:  

  In October 2017, the sale of the Indian joint venture with Kotak 
Mahindra was completed for net proceeds of £138 million 
  In November 2017, we sold the second tranche of shares 

of OMAM to HNA Capital and the remaining 5.5% stake for 
combined proceeds of $345 million 

  In November 2017, we reduced holding company debt by a 

further £548 million 

  In December 2017, we agreed the sale of Old Mutual Wealth’s 

UK Single Strategy Asset Management business to TA 
Associates and Single Strategy management for a consideration 
of c. £600 million 

  In January 2018, we received approval from the Competition 
Tribunal for OML to acquire Old Mutual plc – one of the key 
regulatory approvals for the process to be successful 

We have spent much of the past two years preparing the 
underlying businesses for independence and working with the 
management teams on improving the business performance.  
We have taken steps to build strong foundations for the future  
OML and Quilter entities and both of these businesses have good 
momentum, competitive strategies and excellent future growth 
prospects. New governance structures fit for listed companies  
have been established at both businesses. 

Their standalone balance sheets have now been finalised so as to 
ensure both businesses are well capitalised to fund growth plans 
and sustainable future dividend policies.

Annual Report and Accounts 2017 

Capital management policy 
In March 2016 we announced a new capital management policy for 
the period of the managed separation. This policy has provided the 
flexibility to balance the requirements of our multiple stakeholders 
and our businesses as they prepare for managed separation by 
enabling them to both continue to invest in order to drive enhanced 
performance and strengthen their balance sheets in preparation  
for being standalone businesses. In line with this policy we have 
today announced a second interim dividend of 3.57p, the rand 
equivalent is 66.50 cents. This will be paid on 30 April 2018. 
The total full year dividend for 2017 is 7.10p (2016: 6.06p). 

The proposed future Capital Management Policy of the 
independent Old Mutual Limited and Quilter businesses are 
presented in their respective Business Reviews on pages 26  
and 48.  

The capital management policy is intended to remain in place  
until Old Mutual plc shares are no longer listed. 

Adjusted plc NAV per ordinary share 
The Adjusted Net Asset Value (ANAV) of Old Mutual plc was 
£11,952 million at 31 December 2017 (31 December 2016: 
£11,271 million), equivalent to 242.3 pence per share  
(31 December 2016: 228.6 pence per share). The increase in  
the ANAV per share largely reflects the OMEM covered business 
MCEV earnings (12.8p); the impact of the constant currency 
change in the share price of Nedbank (5.6p), reduced by the 
Old Mutual plc cash dividends paid in the year (-6.9p). 

Board changes 
On 29 June 2017, we announced that Dr Nkosana Moyo was 
stepping down from the Board of Old Mutual plc in order to pursue 
his political interests. As a result, Dr Alan Gillespie, the Senior 
Independent Director, joined the Group Audit Committee with effect 
from 1 August 2017. Nonkululeko Nyembezi stepped down from 
the Old Mutual plc Board on 31 December 2017. Ms Nyembezi 
joined the Old Mutual plc Board in 2012 and had also served on  
the Board Risk and Nomination and Governance Committees  
since 2013. 

Following the finalisation of the managed separation, including 
approval by shareholders and the court, the Boards of OML and 
Quilter will have the primary responsibility for the governance of 
their respective groups. Accordingly, the current governance 
structure of Old Mutual plc will be replaced and the Board will have 
fewer members. Until the managed separation transactions are 
completed, the current Board will continue as presently constituted, 
with the appropriate resolutions regarding the Directors’ annual 
reappointment being proposed at the Company’s AGM.  

Outlook 
The global economy is recovering which provides a positive 
backdrop for all of our businesses. In our key market of South 
Africa, we expect sentiment and confidence to improve following 
the appointment of the new South African president and we expect 
improved GDP growth in the coming year. In the UK, while there 
remains uncertainty over the outcome of the Brexit negotiations, 
the economy continues to grow. Global markets have performed 
strongly which combined with geopolitical developments means 
that there are downside risks to our businesses. 

Full outlooks for the three underlying businesses are given in their 
respective business review sections of the annual report and 
accounts. The following are extracts of current trading 
commentaries from each: 

OML’s outlook: The OML Group’s continuing operations have 
started the year on a positive note. Results from operations are 
trading in line with expectations since the 2017 year end. Nedbank 
reported its annual results on Friday 2 March 2018, and further 
details are available on its website.  

Quilter: Quilter has continued to trade in line with expectations 
since the year end. Overall, we continue to remain confident in 
Quilter’s prospects and it is anticipated that the next trading update 
will be for the first quarter of 2018, which is expected to be 
published in April 2018. 

The managed separation process has already delivered significant 
value through the reduction in plc debt and in central costs. We 
believe that further value will be delivered once the managed 
separation is completed through the following developments: 

  The removal of the conglomerate discount 
  c.£95 million of savings in central costs 
  Continued improvement in the performance of underlying 

businesses  

  Each business accessing its natural shareholder base and 

achieving appropriate valuations  

  Each business accountable to its shareholders for returns and 

cash generation from capital employed 

  And will have its local regulator as its lead regulator 

Old Mutual plc’s next update will be at our Annual General Meeting 
on 30 April 2018.

Annual Report and Accounts 2017 

Review of financial performance 

The Group Finance Director’s review includes a reconciliation 

between AOP and IFRS profit for each of the Group’s businesses. 

Further details of the adjusting items between IFRS and AOP  

are provided in the basis of preparation and Note C1 of the  

Old Mutual plc Financial Statements. 

2017 AOP Results 

The 2017 pre-tax AOP for the year of £2,037 million was 22% 

above the prior year (2016: £1,667 million).  

The weakness in sterling during the year was responsible for  

£241 million of this increase. During 2017 the average sterling to 

rand exchange rate reduced to R17.15 (2016: R19.93). This had 

the effect of increasing the sterling reported results of both OMEM 

and Nedbank, which source the majority of their earnings from 

South Africa. 

During 2017, Old Mutual plc sold its shareholding in OMAM. As a 

result, OMAM was consolidated in the Group’s results for only four 

months of 2017 (2016: consolidated for 12 months). Accordingly 

the AOP of the Institutional Asset Management segment, which 

included OMAM, reduced from £141 million in 2016 to £64 million 

in 2017. 

Excluding Institutional Asset Management and the impact of the 

weakness in sterling, pre-tax AOP was 12% higher than 2016.  

This compares favourably with the nominal GDP growth of 6.6%1  

in South Africa and 4.4%2 in the UK.  

Changes to the presentation  

between segments of AOP 

within AOP.  

  2017 OMEM AOP now includes the long-term investment  

return (LTIR) on excess assets previously shown as a  

separate item within plc Head Office AOP. The LTIR on  

  Corporate costs are now shown before recharges to the 

businesses, with the recharges included within other net 

shareholders income/expenses (OSIE). The recharge in  

2017 was £4 million (2016: £19 million). 

Comparative information has been re-presented to be consistent 

with the treatment of the items described above and does not alter 

the consolidated AOP result as previously reported. 

Old Mutual Wealth, Nedbank and Institutional Asset Management 

are classified as core operations in determining the Group’s AOP. 

For the IFRS consolidated income statement these businesses are 

classified as discontinued operations, and are therefore excluded 

from IFRS profit before tax.

2017 IFRS results  

IFRS profit after tax attributable to equity holders was £909 million 

in 2017 compared to £570 million in 2016. This result includes the 

£107 million benefit from the weakness in sterling compared to the 

prior year. Excluding this impact, the IFRS profit attributable to 

ordinary equity holders is up 34% reflecting higher profits in Old 

Mutual Wealth, as a result of exceptional net performance fees  

in its Single Strategy business and higher investment returns in 

OMEM due to Zimbabwe’s significant equity market performance. 

Zimbabwean equity markets have fallen by more than 10% in the

out in the Chief Executive Review. Detailed financial reviews of 

these businesses are set out later in this document and an

Alternative performance measures 

In addition to IFRS profit, the consolidated Group uses a number  

of Alternative Performance Measures (APMs) to assess the 

performance of the business. Some are applicable to the Group as 

a whole, such as Adjusted Operating Profit (AOP). Others are more 

specific to the business lines within the component businesses, for 

example Net Client Cash Flows (NCCF) and Covered APE Sales.

Old Mutual plc  Annual Report and Accounts 2017 
 
 
 
Old Mutual plc 
Annual Report and Accounts 2017 

Explanation of adjusting items  
between AOP and IFRS 
In determining the AOP of the Group for core operations, certain 
adjustments are made to IFRS profit before tax to reflect the 
Directors’ view of the Group’s long-term performance. Details of 
these adjustments are provided in Note C1 of the Consolidated 
Financial Statements, and in respect of tax in note D1. A summary 
of significant adjustments is provided below.  

Goodwill, intangible and associate charges were £186 million in 
2017 (2016: £278 million). In OMEM the charges for 2017 include 
goodwill impairment of £71 million recognised in the first half of 
2017 relating to the UAP-Old Mutual Group entity in East Africa. 
This followed the simplification of the operating structure of the  
Rest of Africa portfolio and the consequential alignment of the 
routine goodwill valuation review in accordance with accounting 
requirements. A further goodwill impairment of £14 million was 
recognised in the second half of the year relating to the AIVA 
business in Uruguay, as a result of weaker than anticipated 
performance at the time of the impairment review. 

In OMW, goodwill, intangible and associate charges were  
£103 million (2016: £140 million). The charge was lower due to  
an additional £46 million impairment of goodwill and intangibles  
in 2016 as a result of the anticipated sale of OMW Italy. 

Profit on business disposals includes a £81 million profit in OMEM 
on disposal of Kotak Mahindra Old Mutual Life Insurance Limited 
(Kotak) and a £24 million profit in OMW on disposal of OMW Italy. 
In the plc Head Office, the £92 million profit on disposal results 
largely from the sale of our holding in OMAM.  

Within AOP the investment return on shareholder funds is 
calculated using a Long Term Investment Return (LTIR) rate.  
Any short-term fluctuations between the LTIR in AOP and actual 
returns are included in adjusting items. In 2017, the actual 
investment return was higher than the LTIR assumed in AOP by 
£125 million (2016: £26 million lower). This reflects the impact of 
the significant growth in Zimbabwe’s equity markets which resulted 
in a short term fluctuation of positive £106 million. Following recent 
political developments in Zimbabwe, the current macro-economic 
situation remains fluid, and the market reaction remains volatile. 
Zimbabwean equity markets have fallen by more than 10% in the 
first two months of 2018. 

Adjusting items include a £33 million expense (2016: £20 million) 
due to the revaluation of Institutional Asset Management equity 
plans held by Affiliate key employees, and Landmark acquisition 
related expenses. 

Credit-related fair value losses on Group debt were £128 million in 
2017 (2016: £24 million loss). In 2017 this includes £102 million to 
reflect the difference between the cash paid to repurchase and 
redeem debt securities during the year and the IFRS book value  
of those debt securities at the date of repurchase. 

In 2017, OMW UK Platform transformation costs were £74 million 
(2016: £102 million). These costs relate to both the closure of the 
previous programme and costs associated with the new proposition 
supplied by FNZ.  

New adjusting items between AOP and IFRS 2017 
An expense of £27 million related to the resolution of plc Head 
Office pre-existing items includes expenses of £20 million for 
insuring and de-risking certain indemnities associated with 
businesses previously owned by the Group. In addition costs  
of £7 million were incurred in disposing of the Group’s captive 
insurance entity which covered plc Head Office and subsidiary 
companies. Further details of costs related to addressing plc  
Head Office pre-existing items is provided on page 18. 

One-off managed separation and business standalone costs were 
£100 million in 2017. In 2016 these costs, which were included 
within AOP, totalled £31 million. If the 2016 costs were excluded 
from AOP, the growth in AOP pre-tax would reduce from 22%  
to 20%. 

As part of OMW’s ongoing work to promote fair customer 
outcomes, product reviews consistent with the recommendations 
from the FCA’s thematic feedback and the FCA’s guidance 
‘FG16/8 Fair Treatment of long-standing customers in the life 
insurance sector’ have been conducted. Following these reviews,  
it has been decided to commence voluntary remediation to 
customers in certain legacy products within the Heritage book.  
As part of this, OMW have decided to cap early encashment 
charges at 5% for pension customers under 55, to refund all  
early encashment charges over 5% on pensions products applied  
since 1 January 2009 and to refund certain paid-up charges also 
since 1 January 2009.  

A provision of £69 million has been made within the 2017 results 
for the aggregate of these remediation costs, and this has been 
reported outside of AOP because it does not reflect the 2017 
operating performance of Old Mutual Wealth and reflects 
operations in the past.  

In 2016 the AOP of Old Mutual Wealth included a £27 million 
charge for the restructuring of Heritage fees. This was largely 
related to changes to future charges for certain continuing 
customers of the Heritage business. On the basis of the forward 
looking nature of these charges the 2016 AOP was not adjusted  
for this impact. 

Discontinued and non-core operations 
For IFRS reporting the results of Nedbank, Old Mutual Wealth  
and Institutional Asset Management are discontinued operations 
because they have been classified as held for distribution. These 
businesses remain within AOP in 2017 reflecting our continued 
management of these businesses, their contribution to the Group 
result for the year and to aid comparability.  

Non-core operations relates to Old Mutual Bermuda IFRS pre-tax 
profit of £26 million (2016: £5 million loss). The increase in profit 
largely reflects the favourable developments in the run-off of this 
closed book of business.

Managed separation and business standalone one-off and incremental recurring costs 
The section below summarises the one-off and recurring costs associated with managed separation and includes forward looking 
estimates of these costs. These estimates are sensitive to how we execute the managed separation, including the timing of execution  
and are subject to stakeholder and market dependencies. By their nature, forward-looking estimates involve risk and uncertainty because 
they relate to future events and circumstances which may be beyond Old Mutual plc’s control. Following the managed separation each 
business may adopt cost definitions different from the Group-wide definition that is currently applied. 

The tables below include the one-off costs related to plc wind-down and business standalone costs and advisory costs. They 
compare the costs incurred to date against the original estimates. Costs are likely to be at the upper end of our estimates leaving 
limited contingency remaining. 

Removal and transition of plc Head Office operational costs 
The managed separation will lead to the eventual closure of the plc Head Office and elimination of its operational costs, which totalled 
£123 million before recharges in 2015, the year before the managed separation began. The table below shows the evolution of these plc 
Head Office operating costs since 2015:

1. Plc Head Office operational costs are stated before recharges of £23 million in 2015; £19 million in 2016 and £4 million in 2017. 
2. One-off plc wind down costs of £8 million and transaction advisory costs of £14 million are included in AOP in 2016. From 2017 these costs have been excluded from AOP. 

An estimated £29 million per annum of plc Head Office operational costs previously incurred by the plc Head Office will ultimately be borne 
directly by OMEM and OMW. Given the 2015 cost base of £123 million set out above, this will result in an estimated net saving of £94 
million per annum. The table below shows the development in the costs of OMW and OMEM as they begin to incur the plc Head Office 
operational costs directly:

One-off plc wind down and business standalone costs 
As communicated at the 2016 Preliminary Results announcement, we estimate the one-off costs to unlock the £94 million of plc Head 
Office run-rate savings to be in the region of £130 million. This includes costs at the plc Head Office, which we expect to be at the upper 
end of our £50 million to £65 million range, with the balance to be incurred by OMEM and OMW. The table below sets out the one-off 
costs that have been incurred to date:

IFRS ROE 

Old Mutual plc 
Annual Report and Accounts 2017 

Adjusted ROE by business has been calculated in sterling in order to give a shareholder view of returns in the reported currency. 

Old Mutual plc adjusted ROE increased from 13.3% in 2016 to 14.6% in 2017. This largely reflects a higher ROE in OMW, which benefited 
from exceptional net performance fees in the Single Strategy business in 2017.  

The IFRS ROE of 11.3% (2016: 7.9%) has increased as a result of the significant increase in IFRS profit attributable to equity holders 
which benefited from higher profits in Old Mutual Wealth, as a result of exceptional net performance fees in the Single Strategy business 
and higher investment returns in OMEM due to Zimbabwe’s significant equity market performance. 

Plc cash flows and liquidity

Old Mutual plc 
Annual Report and Accounts 2017 

At 31 December 2017, of the total equity attributable to ordinary 
shareholders, the equity of Old Mutual plc as a stand-alone 
company was £6,509 million (2016: £5,369 million), of which 
distributable reserves were £2,943 million (2016: £2,059 million). 

The Group is required to adopt two new accounting standards with 
effect from 1 January 2018, IFRS 9: Financial Instruments (‘IFRS 
9’) and IFRS 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers (IFRS 
15). The estimated impact on the Groups’ opening reserves (after 
tax) of adopting IFRS 9 is £203 million, principally due to impact of 
the adoption of the expected credit loss for impairments of £176 
million and other items relating to classification and measurement. 
IFRS 15 principally impacts the timing of the recognition of revenue 
and the current estimated impact on opening reserves is expected 
to be immaterial. All of these estimates represents managements 
best estimate of the potential impact of adopting the standards and 
this could change when the standards are implemented by the 
Group. Further details are provided in Note A7 of the Old Mutual 
plc Financial Statements. 

Equity invested in OMEM, Nedbank and OMW 
Over 80% of the Group’s equity is invested in OMEM, Nedbank 
and OMW. Under managed separation these businesses are 
expected to be largely distributed to shareholders. This IFRS equity 
is shown after deduction of intercompany funding of £782 million to 
OMW from the plc Head Office. 

Within OMEM, as at 31 December 2017, there was R5.9 billion 
(2016: R9.7 billion) of outstanding intercompany indebtedness 
between OMLAC(SA), Old Mutual Group Holdings (OMGH) and its 
subsidiary Old Mutual Portfolio Holdings (OMPH). During the year, 
R3.8 billion of this intercompany indebtedness was repaid to 
OMLAC(SA), funded through greater cash retention.  

We anticipate that the settlement of the remaining intercompany 
indebtedness will largely be repaid with the transfer of Nedbank 
shares to OMLAC(SA) up to the desired shareholding of 19.9%. 
Any residual indebtedness will be settled in cash. 

Residual plc NAV 
Residual plc NAV consists of OM Bermuda, plc Head Office and 
until its sale in November 2017, the value of its remaining shares  
in OMAM. The Residual plc NAV has increased to £1,026 million in 
2017 (2016: £953 million).  

As part of the process of managed separation we have converted 
Residual plc into certain cash, reduced contingent liabilities and 
unwound complex arrangements which existed within the Group 
structure.  

Details of the component parts of the Residual plc NAV are 
discussed below. 

OMAM 
The process of reducing our stake in OMAM completed in 
November 2017, following a number of market sell-downs and the 
sale of a 24.95% stake to HNA Capital. The gross proceeds from 
these share sales totalled $879 million. Net of costs of £16 million 
and a £3 million loss on foreign currency hedging, the proceeds 
were £664 million. 

OM Bermuda 
OM Bermuda continues to execute its run-off strategy. 
Approximately 50% of its Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation 
Benefit (GMAB) reinsurance obligations matured in 2017 and  
the bulk of the remaining maturities take place during H1 2018.  

Downside risk associated with guarantee top-up payments is 
managed using a put option programme. This was restructured  
to lock in market gains to the end of October 2017 and therefore 
further reduce downside market risks. Residual risks include  
basis risk and a small portion of market and currency risks that 
remain unhedged. 

The reinsurance business remains well capitalised, with a statutory 
capital coverage ratio of 6.2 times (31 December 2016: 1.8 times).  

IFRS NAV increased to £124 million ($168 million) at 31 December 
2017 (31 December 2016: £68 million), benefiting from the  
£71 million ($92 million) reduction in GMAB reserves largely as a 
result of favourable global equity market and currency movements 
and the run-off of GMAB obligations over the period. This is partly 
offset by the establishment of a liquidation provision of £13 million 
($18 million) to capitalise all anticipated future operational losses  
as the business is no longer considered a going concern. 

Within the 31 December 2017 OM Bermuda IFRS NAV are  
£23 million ($31 million) of loan notes outstanding from the plc 
Head Office to OM Bermuda.  

Old Mutual plc Head Office 
We continue to make progress with the financial wind down and 
de-risking of the plc Head Office. The crystallisation of plc Head 
Office NAV into cash allows us to maintain appropriate buffers to 
manage risks and obligations during the period as a result of the 
execution of managed separation and the wind down of the plc 
Head Office. However, there are still actual and potential demands 
on our cash and liquidity during this period. Cash utilisation will 
continue not only as a result of the current plc structure, but also  
to manage the resolution of and meet the remaining managed 
separation and business standalone costs across the plc Head 
Office and the underlying businesses.

Cash  
The plc Head Office had cash balances of £540 million at  
31 December 2017 (31 December 2016: £743 million). 

At our 2016 preliminary results in March 2017, we highlighted that 
we hold cash and liquidity buffers centrally to support the plc under 
both normal and stressed conditions. These liquidity buffers and 
cash will transition from plc Head Office where appropriate as  
part of the preparations for the independence of the relevant 
subsidiaries as part of managed separation. In an initial step  
in preparing OMW’s capital structure and in light of regulatory 
changes, we contributed £200 million of capital into OMW with  
a consequential reduction in plc's liquidity support and centrally 
held liquidity buffers for OMW of £130 million to £70 million.  

The plc early warning liquidity threshold (“EWT”) is set dynamically, 
in line with our underlying obligations to ensure adequate liquidity 
resources are maintained and stood at circa £330 million at  
31 December 2017 (31 December 2016: circa £520 million).

Expenses of £20 million were incurred for the costs of insuring and de-risking certain indemnities associated with businesses  
previously owned by the Group. In addition cash of £12 million to fund contingent liabilities in the businesses, which was held  
on deposit at the plc Head Office, was returned. 

Costs of £7 million were incurred in disposing of the Group’s captive insurance entity which covered plc Head Office and  
subsidiary companies. 

Adjusted Net Asset Value  
Adjusted Net Asset Value (ANAV) provides an alternative measure to indicate the value of Old Mutual plc. The ANAV of Old Mutual plc 
was £11,952 million at 31 December 2017 (31 December 2016: £11,271 million), equivalent to 242.3 pence per share (31 December 
2016: 228.6 pence per share). The increase in ANAV per share largely reflects the OMEM covered business MCEV earnings (12.8 pence) 
and the impact of the constant currency change in the share price of Nedbank (5.6 pence), offset by the Old Mutual plc cash dividends 
paid in the year (6.9 pence). 

The ANAV uses an MCEV valuation basis for OMEM covered business and the UK Heritage business in OMW as well as the market 
value of listed subsidiaries and plc Head Office debt. Other businesses and other assets are generally included at IFRS net asset value.  
A reconciliation of the IFRS NAV to ANAV is provided in the tables below:

Solvency II sensitivities  
The table below presents the estimated sensitivity of the Group Solvency II ratio under certain standard financial stresses, which are 
defined by reasonably possible individual movements in key market parameters, while keeping all other parameters constant. The effects 
impact both the own funds and capital requirements and consequently the Group Solvency II ratio. In addition we have included a non-
financial stress assuming 10% of our insurance business lapses immediately.

Solvency of individual businesses  
Our individual businesses retain strong and resilient local statutory cover and have sufficient capital to support normal trading operations 
and withstand regulatory and internal stress scenarios. The balance sheets, including action undertaken after 31 December 2017, will 
deliver appropriately capitalised standalone businesses to the market. The individual entity balance sheets are described in their 
respective Business Reviews. 

Post year end transactions and development of Residual plc  
The narrative within this section includes forward looking estimates of the Residual plc and future potential developments of other Group 
companies. These estimates are based on assumptions regarding the steps employed for and timing of the managed separation strategy 
which may change in the future. By their nature, forward-looking estimates involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to future 
events and circumstances which may be beyond Old Mutual plc’s control. 

When we unveiled the managed separation strategy in March 2016, we said that we aimed for it to be materially complete by the end of 
2018. We are on track to deliver the managed separation as planned. These processes are, by their nature, unpredictable and therefore 
the outcome and timing cannot be guaranteed. 

On 13 March 2018, Old Mutual plc announced that The Travelers Companies Inc. and St Pauls Fire and Marine Insurance Company have 
lodged a claim in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York in relation to pre-existing plc Head Office legacy 
items relating to previously disposed businesses. 

The Group believes that this action is without merit and it will be resisted accordingly. 

Details of events after the reporting date are provided in Note J8 of the Old Mutual plc Financial Statements. 

Proforma 31 December 2017 Residual plc IFRS Net Asset Value 
As part of the allocation of assets and liabilities of the current Old Mutual plc holding company a number of transactions have taken place 
since 31 December 2017.  

On 31 January 2018 Old Mutual Wealth acquired the Skandia UK Ltd group of entities from Old Mutual plc. As part of this transaction 
£566 million of intercompany indebtedness between Old Mutual Wealth and Old Mutual plc has been equitised. 

On 28 February 2018, £200 million of intercompany indebtedness between Old Mutual Wealth and Old Mutual plc was repaid from new 
financing arrangements from Old Mutual Wealth. On the same date, the existing £70 million revolving credit facility provided by Old Mutual 
plc to Old Mutual Wealth was cancelled. 

Outstanding Old Mutual plc Discount Notes held by Old Mutual Bermuda at 31 December 2017 of £23 million ($31 million) were cancelled 
on the 28 February 2018. In addition, cash of £44 million ($60 million) was repatriated from the business on the 7 March 2018 following 
approval from the Bermuda Monetary Authority.

Annual Report and Accounts 2017 

Total one-off advisory costs are estimated to be at least £100 million, as communicated at the 2016 Preliminary Results. Total costs 
incurred as at 31 December 2017 were £52 million. Of the estimated £48 million still to be incurred, approximately £40 million will be 
incurred by the plc Head Office, largely during 2018. 

In addition to the wind-down and advisory costs referred to above, one-off transaction costs will be incurred by the plc Head Office in 
relation to the managed separation. We estimate these costs to be in the range of £15 million to £20 million, excluding any additional costs 
associated with the intended secondary offering of Quilter. Transaction costs will be deducted from proceeds, where possible, in line with 
accounting policies and past practices. 

At the 2016 Preliminary Results announcement we estimated £130 million would be incurred to accelerate the resolution of pre-existing 
Head Office items over the duration of the managed separation. This estimate is subject to addressing any remaining issues. As at  
31 December 2017 £90 million had been incurred.  

The obligations of OM Bermuda are running off, with the majority of the policies underlying the reinsurance obligations due to mature in  
the first half of 2018. The business will wind-up activities during 2018 with the remittance of surplus to Old Mutual plc, subject to the 
relevant regulatory approvals. 

The second interim dividend of 3.57 pence per share will be paid on 30 April 2018. The cost of this dividend will be £175 million, of which 
circa £120 million will be funded from dividends received from OMEM and Nedbank during 2018, net of our hedging activities. 

Performance measures  
In line with statutory reporting requirements we report profits assessed on an IFRS basis. Consistent with last year, we complement IFRS 
reporting with additional disclosure on various alternative performance measures (APMs). 

APMs are not defined by the relevant financial reporting framework (which for the Group is IFRS), but we use them to provide greater 
insight to the financial performance, financial positions and cash flows of the Group and the way it is managed.  

Old Mutual plc 
Summary information about the key APMs used by the consolidated Group in our financial review is provided in the following table. 

APM 
Adjusted Operating  
Profit (AOP) 

Definition 
AOP is a normalised profit measure to reflect the underlying operating profit of the Group. It 
therefore adjusts IFRS profit for the impact of acquisitions and disposals; short-term fluctuations and 
IFRS accounting treatments that do not fairly reflect the economics of our operations. In addition, 
AOP excludes the results of non-core operations. 

The calculation of AOP adjusts the IFRS profit for a number of items as detailed in note C1 in the 
financial statements. 

Due to the nature of the Group’s businesses, AOP is an appropriate alternative basis by which to 
assess the underlying operating results. It enhances the comparability and understanding of the 
financial performance of the Group. 

Adjusted Operating  
Earnings per Share (EPS) 

Adjusted Operating EPS is calculated as post-tax adjusted operating profit divided by the adjusted 
weighted average number of shares (WANS) held by our investors. 

The calculation of Adjusted EPS is detailed in note C2 in the financial statements. 

Adjusted Operating EPS is an indicator of our profitability that measures how much we earn for each 
share held. 

Adjusted Return on  
Equity (ROE) 

Adjusted ROE is calculated as AOP (post-tax and NCI) divided by average ordinary shareholders' 
equity excluding the perpetual preferred callable securities, non-core operations and the decrease  
in value of equity due to treasury shares held within consolidated investment funds.  

It is a measure of the return generated for shareholders over the reporting period. 

Adjusted Plc NAV per  
ordinary share (ANAV) 

The ANAV uses a MCEV valuation basis for OMEM covered business and the UK Heritage 
business in OMW as well as the market value of listed subsidiaries and plc Head Office debt.  
Other businesses and other assets are generally included at IFRS net asset value.  

ANAV provides an alternative measure to indicate the value of Old Mutual plc. 

Constant currency 

Constant currency figures are calculated by translating local currency prior-period figures at the 
prevailing exchange rates for the period under review.  

The exchange rates used to translate the operating results, assets and liabilities of key foreign 
business segments to pounds sterling are provided in note A1 in the financial statement. 

This measure eliminates the effects of exchange rate fluctuations when calculating financial 
performance numbers for various periods.

Nedbank 
The key APMs used by Nedbank within their business review are detailed below:  

APM 
Headline Earnings per  
Share (HEPS) 

Definition 
Headline Earnings is calculated with reference to Circular 2/2015 issued by the South African 
Institute  
of Chartered Accountants. Headline earnings is a way of dividing the IFRS reported profit between  
re-measurements that are more closely aligned to the operating/trading activities of the entity, and 
the platform used to create those results. 

Headline Earnings is an earnings measure that is required by the South African listing authorities.  
It provides a basis to compare South African listed peers. 

Efficiency Ratio 

Calculated as total expenses divided by the sum of net interest income and non-interest revenue. 

The Efficiency Ratio measures the expense efficiency of the business. 

Liquidity Coverage Ratio 

The Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) aims to ensure that a bank holds adequate unencumbered 
High Quality Liquid Assets to cover total net cash outflows over a 30-day period under a 
prescribed stress scenario.  

It provides a view of the short-term resilience of the liquidity risk profile of banks. 

Economic Profit 

Calculated as headline earnings less the cost of equity. The cost of equity is calculated as the 
average ordinary shareholders equity (excluding goodwill) multiplied by the cost of equity. 

It is a measure of the entity’s ability to generate earnings in excess of the economic cost of the  
capital contributed. 

Detail on Nedbank’s results and their APMs are available on the website: www.nedbankgroup.co.za 

Old Mutual Wealth 
The key APMs used by Old Mutual Wealth within the financial review are: 

Normalised operating  
profit pre-tax 

The difference between total income and total operating costs. Excludes non-operational items, 
such as one-off gains or losses from the sale of assets or acquisition costs as per Operating profit 
with additional normalisation adjustments. 

Revenue Margin 

Operating margin 

It is used to provide users of the financial statements greater insight into the long-term earning 
ability of the OMW current business on a comparable basis. 

Represents net management fee, including policyholder tax divided by average Assets under 
Management & Administration (AUMA). 

Represents reported operating profit from continuing operations divided by total revenue, including 
policyholder tax and adviser fees. Operating margin excludes financing costs. 

An efficiency measure that allows users of our financial statements to assess what percentage of 
net revenues that become operating profit. 

Net Client Cash Flows (NCCF) 

The difference between money received from and returned to customers during the relevant 
period for the Group (excluding Quilter Life Assurance) or for the business indicated. 

This measure is a lead indicator of reported net revenue. 

Integrated net inflows 

Total NCCF that has flowed through two or more segments within OMW.  

It is a lead indicator of revenue generation driven by an integrated business model. 

Assets under Management  
& Administration (AUMA) 

Represents the total market value of all financial assets managed and administered on behalf of 
customers as at 31 December of the financial year. 

Average AuMA 

Represents the average total market value of all financial assets managed and administrated on 
behalf of customers during the financial year ended 31 December. Average AuMA is calculated 
using a 13-point average of monthly closing AuMA.

1  IFRS profit and AOP for 2016 were restated to include the actual and long-term 
investment return (LTIR) on shareholder assets above the capital requirement 
previously reflected in the Old Mutual plc. The impacts on AOP and IFRS profit  
were R398 million and R173 million respectively 

2  Adjusted return on equity is AOP (post-tax and NCI) divided by average IFRS  

shareholder equity 

3   Free surplus conversion is free surplus generated divided by AOP (post tax and NCI). 

Free surplus generated now reflects changes in the capital requirements of non-
insurance businesses as well as fungibility considerations. Comparatives have 
therefore been restated 

4  Pro-forma at 31 December 2017. The Standard Formula allows for, subject to 

regulatory approval, certain methodology elections to be made. The estimated SAM 
solvency positions are presented on the basis of the Group’s preferred methodology 
which will, once the SAM framework is implemented, be formally presented for 
Regulatory approval. This is based on our current shareholding in Nedbank.  

The new operating model and fundamental multi-year transformation 
of the finance function will commence with the introduction of new 
cost, customer and capital allocation methodologies from 2018. 
We believe that this will better reflect the economics of each of 
the operational segments going forward. However, year-on-year 
comparability of segmental performance in 2018 and 2019 will 
be affected, albeit with no impact on the overall Group results.  

We also announced the appointment of Casper Troskie as the 
Finance Director of OMEM (and Finance Director-designate of 
OML) effective 1 April 2018. His broad financial services expertise 
and experience in the listed environment will be crucial to the 
business as we prepare for the listing of OML. 

During the year, a new Wealth & Investments segment was 
established. This segment comprises Old Mutual Investment 
Group and Old Mutual Wealth (South Africa), which previously 
formed part of the Retail Affluent segment. Personal Finance, 
which was the other part of Retail Affluent, is now managed 
as a standalone segment.  

Strategic overview 
Our vision is to become our customers' most trusted partner and to 
help them reach their financial goals. This is underpinned by our 
ambition to become a premium financial services group in sub-
Saharan Africa. 

We completed the sale of the 26% shareholding in Kotak Mahindra 
Old Mutual Life Insurance in India, for net proceeds to Old Mutual 
plc of circa.R2.4 billion (£138 million). We also completed the 
transfer of the international branches of OMLAC(SA) that were 
previously reported in Old Mutual Wealth (United Kingdom) to align 
the reporting with the ownership structure.  

To deliver value in the medium term, our priorities are focused 
on consolidating and growing our position in markets in which we 
operate; improving key underperforming businesses; and building 
long-term competitive advantage. These priorities are defined 
through our eight battlegrounds: 
  Defend South African market share in mass market and corporate 
  Defend and grow in the South African personal finance market 
  Improve the competitiveness of Wealth and Investments 
  Continued turnaround of Old Mutual Insure 
  Turnaround East African business and improve returns across 

the Rest of Africa 
  Win the war for talent 
  Refresh the technology offering 
  Cost efficiency leadership  

OMEM operates through seven operational segments that 
collaborate to serve our customers. We also manage a number 
of central activities, assets and liabilities, collectively referred 
to as “Other Group Activities”.  

We are well-positioned in key sub-Saharan African geographies 
across multiple lines of business. Our business has an extensive 
product and service offering delivered through our multi-channel 
distribution network, with the largest reach compared to our 
traditional South African peers.  

Key business developments 
We have commenced our journey in fundamentally shifting from 
being a product-led business to becoming a customer-driven 
organisation. To support this change, we have restructured our 
leadership and reporting lines by ensuring that all customer-facing 
managing directors form part of the Executive Committee. This has 
sharpened our operational focus as we improve our customer 
service and experience to meet their evolving needs.  

We successfully completed our collaboration work with Nedbank 
to unlock synergies in excess of R1.0 billion by the end of 2017. 
Of this, circa.R0.6 billion accrued to OMEM, and we are fully 
committed to working with Nedbank in delivering ongoing 
synergistic benefits on an arm’s length basis. Future synergies 
will be underpinned by OML’s 19.9% shareholding in Nedbank. 

Performance highlights 
OMEM delivered resilient earnings growth of 5% in pre-tax 
adjusted operating profit (AOP) of R13,326 million. This result 
reflects the momentum over the second half of the year as we 
continued to make progress on our battlegrounds, despite the 
tough macroeconomic environment. 

Operating segments contributed R10,974 million to AOP, up 6% 
on the prior year. This was driven by the significant improvement 
in the underwriting result at Old Mutual Insure (up 290%) and 
growth in the Rest of Africa (up 33%). We continued to allocate 
central operating costs directly to the segments, such that only 
costs incurred for the holding company would be reported centrally. 
This resulted in R229 million being allocated directly to the 
segments. Consequently, year-on-year segmental performance 
is not comparable.  

We delivered adjusted Return on Equity (RoE) of 20.6% compared 
to 21.6% in the prior year. The decline largely reflects a 10% 
increase in the IFRS shareholders’ equity to R46.4 billion following 
higher actual investment gains in South Africa and Zimbabwe, and 
the profit on disposal of our 26% stake in Kotak. This was partially 
offset by the higher income tax expense in the current period. The 
OMEM AOP effective tax rate of 27.4% was marginally higher than 
26.4% in the prior year, mainly due to an increase in non-deductible 
expenditure incurred. This contributed to AOP (post-tax and NCI) 
of R9,199 million, which was 2% above the prior year.

1  IFRS profit for 2016 was restated to include R173 million of the actual investment 

return on shareholder assets above the capital requirement previously reflected in the 
Old Mutual plc.  

IFRS profit after tax of R10,210 million increased by 46% from 
R6,999 million in the prior year. Key adjusting items of AOP to 
IFRS profit include positive short-term fluctuations on LTIR of 
R2,176 million (2016: negative R550 million). These were largely 
driven by the significant growth in Zimbabwe’s equity markets 
which resulted in positive short-term fluctuations of R1,815 million 
(2016: R312 million).  

Profit on business disposals of R1,390 million relates to the 
disposal of our 26% stake in Kotak Mahindra Old Mutual Life 
Insurance Limited, which completed in October 2017. 

In line with previous guidance, we expect to incur total one-off 
costs of up to R300 million in 2017 and 2018 to establish local 
standalone capabilities. During the year, we incurred R211 million 
of one-off standalone costs. Further, we incurred R26 million 
of one-off advisory and transaction costs.  

‘Goodwill, intangible and associate charges’ includes goodwill 
impairments of R1.5 billion (2016: R1.3 billion) relating to East 
Africa and AIVA within LatAm & Asia. In the first half of 2017, 
a goodwill impairment of R1.2 billion was recognised relating 
to UAP-Old Mutual Group in East Africa. This followed the 
simplification of the operating structure of the Rest of Africa  
portfolio and the consequential change in operating segment.  
This resulted in a change in the cash generating units to which 
goodwill is allocated to and monitored for valuation purposes. 
Further, a goodwill impairment of R0.3 billion was recognised in the 
second half of the year relating to the AIVA business in Uruguay, 
as a result of the tough business environment and the exit by 
Old Mutual Wealth (UK) from the single strategy business.

3  LTIR on assets in excess of regulatory required capital is now reported in OMEM, 

previously reported in Old Mutual plc. Comparatives have been restated  
(2016: R398 million). 

Mass and Foundation Cluster  
MFC continues to retain its leading position in the South African 
mass market. We remain focused on evolving our customer value 
proposition by investing in growing the branch network, enhancing 
Money Account (our transactional offering), and rolling out ATMs, 
whilst we also improve the efficiency of the channels. 

AOP of R3,165 million was 3% up on the prior year primarily driven 
by higher new business profits, better cost management and a 
more favourable product mix towards risk business. This was partly 
offset by lower net positive actuarial provision releases compared 
to the prior year.  

Old Mutual Finance (OMF) AOP of R828 million was up 3% on 
the prior year. This was due to growth in loan sales supported 
by an increase in the number of branches, and better collections 
experience as a result of an improvement in the risk profile of the 
loan book.  

Life APE sales grew by 3% to R4,091 million, which contributed to 
good NCCF of R6.1 billion, which was up 9%. This was driven by 
the growth in risk sales from higher adviser manpower and better 
productivity in the second half of the year. The branch network now 
contributes 29% to total MFC life APE sales (2016: 28%). VNB of 
R1,236 million was up 17% following pricing reviews on risk 
business, which led to a VNB margin of 10.6% (2016: 9.4%). 

MFC grew its branch footprint by 31 to 323 branches and rolled out 
22 pilot ATMs. Free Wi-Fi was rolled out to all branches allowing 
customers access to data connectivity, which has increased the 
level of activation for Money Account holders. The branch network, 
which remains key to providing seamless customer experience, 
continues to deliver better persistency experience and higher 
productivity than other channels.

Old Mutual plc 
Annual Report and Accounts 2017 

OM Insure (previously Mutual & Federal) 
OM Insure’s turnaround strategy has been focused on the 
commercial business. The turnaround of the retail business has 
now been completed and we have made considerable progress 
in restoring the quality of the commercial lines book. This was 
achieved through the strengthening of skills to support disciplined 
underwriting and claims management. Significant progress has 
also been made to deliver on the growth strategy in iWYZE. 

As a result, we recorded exceptional growth in the underwriting 
result of R312 million, a 290% improvement, in a year of 
unprecedented catastrophe events. The underwriting margin of 
3.7% (2016: 0.9%), reflects favourable claims experience (net of 
reinsurance) in the Commercial and Personal Lines businesses 
and the growth in iWYZE, which delivered underwriting profit 
of R20 million (2016: loss of R39 million). We continue to target 
an underwriting margin of 4% − 6% in the near term. 

P&C gross written premiums (GWP) of R12,481 million were 3% 
ahead of the prior year. The constrained growth was attributable to 
stricter underwriting criteria, lower policy volume growth following 
the continued remediation of loss making business, whilst 
generating strong premium growth of 15% in iWYZE. Net earned 
premiums of R8,409 million were down 2% against the prior year 
primarily due to changes in the reinsurance agreements at Credit 
Guarantee Insurance Corporation (CGIC) in 2017.  

The business strengthened its senior management team following 
several key appointments during the year, including Nokuthula 
Manyoha as Finance Director, Franklin Sibanda as Rest of Africa 
General Insurance Executive, and Thabile Nyaba as Chief Risk 
Officer. Further, Old Mutual Insure completed the sale of a 25% 
equity interest in CGIC, the specialist corporate credit insurer, 
to Atradius.  

Rest of Africa  
Our Rest of Africa operations span 12 countries across three 
regions. The SADC region remains the largest contributor to  
Rest of Africa profits, where the business seeks to retain its  
leading market positions while capitalising on pockets of growth.  

In East Africa, encouraging progress has been made in the  
P&C turnaround, whilst further work remains in respect of the 
property portfolio to alleviate the impact on adjusted RoE.  
In West Africa, we continue to pursue a capital light strategy 
leveraging our bancassurance partnerships. However, delays in 
bancassurance regulations in Nigeria have adversely impacted  
our growth ambitions. 

The Rest of Africa segment delivered AOP (pre-LTIR) of  
R1,074 million which was 33% above the prior year (up 38%  
in constant currency). This excellent result was primarily driven  
by higher profits in Zimbabwe, East Africa, and Malawi.  

The asset management business recorded strong investment 
performance in 2017. In our core retail range, seven out of our 
ten funds were top quartile over one year, with the flagship retail 
Balanced Fund now top quartile over one, three, and five years, 
and all four of the core retail Multi-asset funds attained 4-star 
Morningstar ratings. The multi-manager multi asset funds are 
top quartile over one, three, five, seven and ten years. The asset 
management business remains focused on achieving long-term 
investment growth for its clients.  

In January 2018, Khaya Gobodo was appointed as the Managing 
Director of the Asset Management business. Khaya brings a broad 
depth of investment experience in running an independent 
investment boutique as well as his global investment experience 
and perspectives on aligning asset management, platforms and 
distribution in South Africa. 

During the year, a major Flexcube platform upgrade was completed 
on time and within budget, with no material disruptions to the 
Wealth business. The upgrade resulted in significant improvement 
in the administrative capability, which is necessary to enhance 
adviser and customer experience.  

Old Mutual Corporate 
Corporate remains well-positioned to retain its position as industry 
leader in South Africa as it improves customer and intermediary 
experience, continues to innovate its offering and delivers 
sustainable growth.  

AOP of R1,576 million was 12% ahead of the prior year largely  
due to growth in asset-based fees and improved investment 
performance. Group risk underwriting experience deteriorated in 
the second half of 2017, despite the price remediation and process 
improvements that took place throughout the year. Management 
continues to drive actions to deliver improved group risk 
underwriting experience.  

Life APE sales of R2,719 million were 10% down on prior year 
mainly due to lower group risk assurance, retail platform and 
annuity sales. VNB of R254 million was lower than the prior year 
as a result of expense allocation changes and lower sales  
volumes. As a result, the VNB margin declined by 80 bps to 1.0%.  

Negative NCCF of R(7.1) billion, R10.8 billion lower than the prior 
year, was driven by higher outflows which included a significant 
non-life outflow during the fourth quarter, albeit at a low margin. 

During the year, we launched the SuperFund annuity, underpinned 
by member education, advice and communication. We also 
launched the Nucleus Index Fund range on SuperFund, an 
enhancement to the passive investment offering to provide 
increased investment choice to customers. Further, we 
successfully completed the Compass upgrade, which will  
provide us with improved stability of our administration platform.  

Corporate continued to drive its collaboration initiatives with  
the retail segments. We established adviser presence at 65 
additional worksites during the year, whilst retail segments acquired 
circa.23,000 customers through the corporate worksites. This is a 
key lever in order to improve retention of benefits and funds under 
management as well as to provide cross-sell opportunities for the 
retail channels.

Old Mutual plc 
Annual Report and Accounts 2017 

Central expenses and Other Group Activities 
Central expenses and administration costs of R536 million were 
19% better than the prior year. This was largely driven by the 
impact of the ongoing refinement of the expense allocation 
methodology to segments, mainly impacting the life operations 
in the retail and corporate segments.  

LTIR of R2,974 million was up 1% on the prior year. Rest of Africa 
LTIR of R996 million, up 17%, was driven by a higher shareholder 
asset base following exceptional equity market performance in 
Zimbabwe. This was offset by a 7% decline in OMLAC(SA)’s LTIR 
to R1,573 million due to a reduced shareholder asset base. This 
followed the alignment of the Statutory Valuation Methodology for 
investment contracts to the IFRS basis.  

Finance costs of R622 million were up 18% on the prior year. This 
follows the higher overall interest rates experienced in South Africa 
over the last twelve months, given OMLAC(SA) has both fixed rate 
and floating rate bonds in issue. The sovereign downgrade of 
South Africa’s credit ratings by Standard & Poor’s, which occurred 
late in 2017, did not have a material impact on finance costs. 

Embedded Value 
OMEM reported a slight improvement in the VNB margin to 3.3% 
(2016: 3.2%), despite a 3% decline in life APE sales. VNB 
increased by 4% to R2,256 million mainly as a result of a more 
profitable mix of business and the pricing reviews of the Personal 
Finance and MFC protection books.  

Boosted by the strong VNB, the Return on Embedded Value 
remained strong at 13.8%. MCEV operating earnings (post-tax) 
declined by 3% on the prior year to R8,133 million, mainly due 
to the positive one-off impact of the elective transfer of the South 
African protection book to the new tax fund in South Africa in the 
prior year.  

Experience variances remained positive at R146 million driven by 
expense and risk experience, albeit lower than R452 million in the 
prior year. Expense profits reflect tighter expense management 
across the business in response to the challenging economic 
environment. Lower experience profits on the prior year were 
due to adverse persistency experience driven by higher benefit 
payments in Corporate, which is indicative of the financial strain 
currently faced by these customers.  

Investment returns were higher than expected, particularly in 
Zimbabwe, following the significant increase in the equity market 
levels. The steepening of the South African bond curve over the 
period had a further positive impact on earnings. 

Cash and capital 
OMEM adopts a disciplined approach to capital allocation decisions 
and manages risks within its financial management framework and 
related risk appetite. We continue to be a highly cash generative 
business, with high solvency and a strong, well-diversified and 
resilient balance sheet that is able to withstand a number of 
economic shocks.  

Free surplus generation and utilisation 
Free surplus generated represents the available cash, after allowing 
for capital invested into the business.  

As we prepare for the implementation of SAM, we have undertaken 
a review of the methodology used in calculating the free surplus 
generation. Below is a reconciliation of the free surplus generated:

previously calculated

1  Other adjustments include the removal of Kotak and adjustments relating to the shift 

from AOP to Adjusted Headline Earnings. 

The OMEM free surplus generation calculation now reflects 
changes in the capital requirements of non-insurance businesses 
as well as fungibility considerations where there are constraints 
in remitting profits to the holding company. Local free surplus 
generated reflects the cash available prior to fungibility 
considerations 

During the year, OMEM generated free surplus of R6.8 billion 
(2016: R5.0 billion), after any fungibility considerations. This 
represents a conversion rate of 74% of post-tax AOP (2016: 56%). 
This was largely attributable to higher investment returns particularly 
in South Africa and the significant improvement in Old Mutual 
Insure’s underwriting result together with the lower capital 
requirements from a reduction in net earned premiums. 

Currently, fungibility constraints primarily impact our Zimbabwean 
operations, where profits are retained and reinvested to grow the 
local businesses. The increase reflects abnormally high investment 
returns particularly in Zimbabwe during the year. Equity market 
performance in Zimbabwe remains volatile and as such we do 
not expect to sustain the current level of returns. 

The mature life business in South Africa, which has traditionally 
generated strong returns, is the main contributor to the strong free 
surplus generation. OMEM currently reinvests circa.25% of the free 
surplus generation into new business initiatives, the majority of 
which relate to the life business in South Africa. We see this as 
sound investment in a market where we have continued to 
demonstrate good returns and robust VNB margins. 

During the 2017 financial year, OMEM remitted R2.7 billion of 
the free surplus generated to its shareholder (2016: R4.7 billion). 
The lower dividend compared to the prior year enabled the 
business to further strengthen its liquidity and solvency position 
in preparation for Solvency Assessment and Management (SAM) 
and standalone capital requirements as well as the repayment 
of intercompany debt. 

As at 31 December 2017, there was R5.9 billion (2016: R9.7 billion) 
of outstanding intercompany indebtedness between OMLAC(SA), 
Old Mutual Group Holdings (OMGH) and its subsidiary Old Mutual 
Portfolio Holdings (OMPH). During the year, R3.8 billion of this 
intercompany indebtedness was repaid to OMLAC(SA), funded 
through greater cash retention as mentioned above.

Old Mutual plc 
Annual Report and Accounts 2017 

In January 2018, the Competition Tribunal in South Africa approved 
the acquisition of Old Mutual plc by the newly incorporated OML, 
subject to the commitments that OMGH has made in the 
Framework Agreement. 

Post the anticipated unbundling of Nedbank (within approximately  
6 months of listing), the OML Group will principally consist of 
OMEM and a 19.9% shareholding in Nedbank. The 19.9% 
shareholding was determined through negotiations with Nedbank 
and discussions with the South African Reserve Bank in order to 
provide stability to the broader financial system and the Nedbank 
and OML investor base during managed separation, whilst also 
supporting our ongoing commercial arrangements.  

OML is committed to being a significant holder of Nedbank while 
retaining a right to review its precise holding as appropriate from 
time to time, in accordance with the heads of terms outlined in the 
new Nedbank Relationship Agreement, which is expected to be 
finalised and executed in the coming weeks.  

Other group activities of the OML Group will include the positive net 
asset value Residual of Old Mutual plc, which largely comprise the 
wind down of the plc Head Office and the remaining operations in 
Bermuda that are expected to run off by mid-2018. 

OML as a standalone business 
This section summarises certain information on OML’s operations, 
including certain forward looking statements in relation to operating 
performance expectations and targets. These should be read in 
conjunction with all the information in the Pre-Listing Statement

regulatory approval, certain methodology elections to be made. The estimated SAM 
solvency positions are presented on the basis of the Group’s preferred methodology 
which will, once the SAM framework is implemented, be formally presented for 
regulatory approval. 

Pro-forma Adjusted Headline Earnings  
Going forward, the OML Group’s primary profit measure will be 
Adjusted Headline Earnings. Results from Operations will be the 
primary performance measure of the OML Group’s operating 
segments, which represents the segments’ contribution to the OML 
Group’s results. Adjusted Headline Earnings excludes Residual plc 
and discontinued operations.  

Adjusted Headline Earnings is calculated as Headline Earnings 
as defined by the SAICA Circular 2/2015 adjusted for items that 
are not reflective of the economic performance of the OML Group. 
“Results from Operations” is calculated as Adjusted Headline 
Earnings before shareholder tax and minority interest, excluding 
net investment return on shareholder assets.

Investment return on insurance funds of R200 million (2016: R180 
million), previously reported as part of LTIR, is now reported in 
Old Mutual Insure’s Results from Operations. 

Amortisation of acquired intangible assets and acquisition costs of 
R221 million (2016: R351 million) relates primarily to intangibles 
following the acquisition of a controlling stake in OMF in 2014 and 
African Infrastructure Investment Managers in 2016.  

Shareholder investment returns are no longer smoothed. 
The increase in actual investment returns was driven by both 
South Africa and Zimbabwe’s equity market performance as 
mentioned earlier.

Old Mutual plc 
Annual Report and Accounts 2017 

We therefore anticipate a boost in both business and consumer 
confidence over the medium-term as the rand strengthens, 
unemployment rates improve and the inflation rate remains within 
the South African Reserve Bank target range of 3-6%.  

In light of this, our targets for the OML Group are as follows: 

Returns 
RoNAV of average cost of equity + 4%: OML will develop a 12 month 
weighted average CoE and referenced to where the capital is 
allocated on a weighted basis. The COE will be published as part of 
OML’s public reporting cycle.  

Growth 
Results from Operations to grow at a CAGR of Nominal GDP + 2% 
over the three years to 2020. Nominal GDP growth is defined with 
reference to South Africa. 

Cost efficiencies 
R1.0 billion of pre-tax run-rate cost savings by end 2019, net of 
costs to achieve this. This will be based on the 2017 IFRS 
administrative cost base (as defined), and adjusted for inflation and 
foreign exchange movements over 2018 and 2019. 

Capital strength 
  SAM solvency for OML: 155% − 175% post the anticipated 

unbundling of Nedbank 

  SAM solvency for OMLAC(SA): greater than 200%  
  OMLAC(SA) Insurance Business solvency ratio: 180% − 210%  

Dividend policy 
We target full year ordinary dividends that are covered by Adjusted 
Headline Earnings between 1.75 and 2.25 times. We target an 
interim dividend at 40% of the current year interim Adjusted 
Headline Earnings.  

Any dividends will take into account OML’s underlying local cash 
generation, fungibility of earnings, targeted liquidity and solvency 
levels, business strategy needs and market conditions at the time. 
Dividends will be set using the full flexibility of the range. 

OML may, from time to time, distribute additional returns to 
shareholders outside of the ordinary dividend cover, where it is 
determined that there is excess permanent capital in the business.  

Current year trading  
The OML Group’s continuing operations have started the year on  
a positive note. Results from operations have traded in line with 
expectations since the 2017 year end.  

Further, the recurring and one-off cost estimates in preparation  
for listing remain unchanged from our previous guidance, with 
incremental recurring standalone and listing costs reaching their  
run-rate by the end of 2018, up to R280 million. 

It is anticipated that the next trading update will be for the first quarter 
of 2018, which is expected to be published in April 2018. 

OMLAC(SA) Insurance Business Solvency 
In addition to the OMLAC(SA) SAM solvency ratio, the Group 
manages the OMLAC(SA) Insurance Business solvency ratio to a 
target range of 180% to 210%. This ratio excludes OMLAC(SA)’s 
holding in strategic assets as the Group would not expect to rely on 
these to support OMLAC(SA)’s solvency in stress conditions. 
Strategic assets include the holding in Nedbank that will be retained 
after the anticipated unbundling of Nedbank.  

Free surplus generation 
Below is a reconciliation of the free surplus generated for OML:

Nedbank’s contribution to the free surplus generated is based 
on the dividends received by the OML Group on its minority 
shareholding. Nedbank’s dividends represent approximately 50% 
of its Headline Earnings. This also acts to reduce the reported 
conversion rate of Adjusted Headline Earnings to free surplus 
generation. 

Based on the above, the pro-forma OML Group free surplus 
generated was R8.0 billion (2016: R6.2 billion). This represents 
a conversion rate of 60% of Adjusted Headline Earnings 
(2016: 57%).  

Debt leverage/gearing  
Based on pro-forma 2017 financial statements, the leverage of the 
OML Group was 11.5% with interest cover of 29.3 times. These 
ratios include only our subordinated debt. The subordinated debt is 
expected to qualify, based on draft SAM provision, in contributing 
towards the OML Group’s solvency capital and is issued from 
OMLAC(SA) at R6.0 billion, with a smaller quantum of R500 million 
from Old Mutual Insure.  

Senior debt held in our operating entities, debt raised by Nedbank, 
and Residual plc debt are not included in the OML Group leverage 
metrics.  

We expect no more than £402 million of debt to be retained in 
Residual plc. Further detail on Old Mutual plc debt is provided in 
the Old Mutual plc Group Finance Director’s report. 

The OML Group also has a Revolving Credit Facility in place 
of R5.25 billion which was undrawn as at 31 December 2017.  

Overall, the current level of gearing on the OML balance sheet is 
appropriate and we remain within our appetite under stress testing.  

Outlook for OML as a standalone business 
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) expects global economic 
growth to improve to 3.9% in 2018, with emerging markets and 
developing economies growing by 4.9%. Sub-Saharan Africa is 
expected to accelerate from 2.7% in 2017 to 3.3% in 2018.  

In South Africa, economic growth estimates for 2018 have been 
revised upwards to 1.4%, by the South African Reserve Bank. 
Following the swearing in of Cyril Ramaphosa, the new President 
has set out his intentions to restore confidence in the economy, 
improving the fiscal situation, addressing corruption and reducing 
the size of the cabinet. This was further reinforced by the 
messages contained in the recent Budget Speech.

Banking and economic environment 

Economic growth in developed markets improved, despite ongoing 

geopolitical tensions, supported by accommodative monetary 

policies and stronger manufacturing production, and reinforced 

by increased global trade. Emerging and developing economies 

also improved as a consequence of better-than-expected growth 

in China and higher global commodity prices. Emerging-market 

equity and bond markets benefited from increased capital inflows 

as global investors search for higher yields. 

SA’s slow economic recovery continued into the second half of 

the year, with 2017 GDP growth estimated at 0.9%, driven mainly 

by a recovery in agricultural production following good summer 

rainfall and some improvement in mining production in response to 

stronger global demand and firmer international commodity prices. 

A revival in consumer spending added further momentum in the 

second half of 2017 as households benefited from lower inflation 

and the marginal reduction in interest rates in July. Despite this 

recovery and reflective of weak business and consumer confidence, 

business volumes in 2017 were generally lower than in the prior 

year, as evident in client loan applications across multiple products 

and in slower client trading activity.  

The pace of economic activity picked up moderately in sub-

Saharan Africa, with agricultural and mining output recovering on 

the upturn in global demand and international commodity prices, 

and the prolonged El Niño-induced drought finally broke in many 

countries. According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), sub-

Saharan Africa is expected to record GDP growth of 2.6% in 2017.  

Domestic inflation averaged 5.3% in 2017, significantly lower than 

the 6.4% recorded in 2016, brought about mainly by sharply lower 

food inflation given the strong summer harvest. Relatively moderate 

and selective consumer demand coupled with a resilient rand also 

helped contain price pressures during the course of the year. After 

a year of volatile trade the rand ended 2017 2.5% stronger against 

the trade-weighted basket of currencies. The largest gains occurred 

near year-end as sentiment surged following the election of Mr Cyril 

Ramaphosa as the new leader of the ruling ANC in mid-December 

on expectations of a change in the country’s leadership, improved 

governance and structural reforms that are likely to support 

investment and higher levels of inclusive growth.

After cutting the repo rate by 25 bps to 6.75% in July, SARB’s 

Monetary Policy Committee left interest rates unchanged at both 

the September and November 2017 policy meetings. The central 

bank’s more cautious approach was driven by concerns over the 

upside risk that the rand posed to the inflation outlook at that time. 

Fears mounted that SA’s rand-denominated sovereign debt ratings 

could be downgraded to sub-investment grade by all three major 

rating agencies, given the escalation in political uncertainty and the 

sharp deterioration in the country’s fiscal position, as set out in the 

Medium Term Budget Policy Statement.

In November 2017 Fitch affirmed the country’s BB+ rating with 

a stable outlook (one notch below investment grade). Moody’s 

placed SA’s Baa3 foreign and local currency ratings on review 

for downgrade, with the decision to follow the 2018 National 

Budget in February. However, S&P Global downgraded SA’s 

local currency rating to BB+ (one notch below investment grade) 

and our foreign currency rating to BB (two notches below 

investment grade), while changing the rating outlook to stable. 

All three rating agencies highlighted similar concerns, including 

weaker-than-expected public finances, weak economic growth, 

ineffective government spending and policies as well as the 

paralysing impact of political infighting and poor governance. 

Review of results 

Nedbank produced a solid performance in a domestic macro 

and political environment that has proved volatile and challenging. 

Headline earnings, including losses in associate income from ETI 

of R744 million, increased 2.8% to R11,787 million. This translated 

into an increase in DHEPS of 2.4% to 2,406 cents and an increase 

in HEPS of 2.2% to 2,452 cents. As in prior periods, we highlight 

our results both including and excluding ETI (referred to as 

managed operations) to provide a better understanding of the 

operational performance of the business given the volatility in ETI’s 

results in 2016 and 2017. However, we will revert to group-level 

reporting in 2019. Our managed operations produced headline 

earnings growth of 7.8% to R12,762 million, with slower-than-

expected revenue growth more than offset by reduced impairments 

and good cost management.  

ROE (excluding goodwill) and ROE remained flat at 16.4% 

and 15.3% respectively. ROE (excluding goodwill) in managed 

operations also remained stable at 18.1%. ROA decreased 

0.01% to 1.22% and, excluding ETI, ROA in managed operations 

improved from 1.29% to 1.33%. Return on RWA increased from 

2.23% to 2.30%.

Old Mutual plc 
Annual Report and Accounts 2017 

The decrease in specific coverage from 37.4% to 36.2% was 
primarily due to lower specific coverage in RBB as well as increased 
resolutions of various client issues in CIB resulting in lower specific 
impairments. The lower coverage reflects increased performing 
defaults in RBB and the recovery success in CIB. Nedbank considers 
the coverage ratios appropriate given the higher proportion 
of wholesale lending, compared with the mix of its peers, 
high recovery rates and the collateralised nature of the  
commercial-mortgages portfolio, with low loan-to-value ratios. 

Portfolio coverage increased marginally from 0.69% to 0.70%, 
reflecting the offsetting effects of higher portfolio impairments due 
to stronger advances growth in RBB and the reduction of the 
central provision and RBB overlays. 

Non-interest revenue 
NIR growth of 2.4% to R24,063 million reflects the impact of weak 
business and consumer confidence levels.  

Commission and fee income grew 4.0% to R17,355 million. RBB 
reported good transactional NIR growth of 6.0%, notwithstanding 
an increasing number of clients who are transacting within fixed-
rate bundles and spending less. CIB experienced lower corporate 
activity off a high base the previous year.  

Insurance income decreased 9.3% to R1,566 million as a result 
of an abnormal number of significant weather-related claims, 
lower homeowner’s cover and credit life volumes, and an increase 
in lapses. 

Trading income increased 3.7% to R3,900 million, given muted 
activity levels among wholesale clients, particularly in the second 
half of the year, and avoidance of the potential negative impacts 
in markets around event risks such as political changes and credit 
rating downgrades.  

Private-equity income, including positive realisations in the 
Commercial Property Finance portfolio, decreased 23.7% to R708 
million, given the high base in the comparative period.  

Expenses 
Expense growth of 5.1% to R29,812 million was below inflation and 
in line with the guidance we provided for the full 2017 year (being 
growth of mid-single digits), demonstrating disciplined and careful 
management of discretionary expenses in an environment of 
slower revenue growth. The underlying movements included:  

  Staff-related costs increasing at a slower rate of 6.5%, following: 

  an average annual salary increase of 6.5% and a 859 
reduction in staff numbers since December 2016; and 

   a 0.1% decrease in short-term incentives.  

  Computer-processing costs increasing 3.8% to R4,201 million off 

a higher base the previous year. 

  Fees and insurance costs being 7.8% higher at R3,277 million, 

due mostly to additional regulatory-related costs. 

The group’s growth in expenses exceeded total revenue growth 
(including associate loss) of 2.1% (3.2% in managed operations), 
resulting in a negative JAWS ratio of 3.0% and an efficiency ratio 
of 58.6%, compared with 56.9% in 2016. Excluding associate 
income, our efficiency ratio was 57.8%. Expense growth, excluding 
RoA where we continued to invest in distribution, technology and 
new-product rollouts, was 4.3%. 

Earnings from associates 
The loss of R838 million in earnings from associates was attributed 
largely to ETI’s loss of R1,203 million in the fourth quarter of 2016 
(announced on 18 April 2017), partly offset by the profit of R459 
million reported by ETI for the nine months to 30 September 2017, 
in line with our policy of accounting for ETI earnings a quarter in 
arrear. The total effect of ETI on the group’s headline earnings 
was a loss of R975 million, including the R321 million impact 
of funding costs.  

Accounting for this associate loss, together with Nedbank’s 
share of ETI’s other comprehensive income and movements in 
Nedbank’s foreign currency translation reserves, resulted in the 
carrying value of the group’s strategic investment in ETI declining 
from R4.0 billion at 31 December 2016 to R3.3 billion at 31 
December 2017. Since the introduction of the new foreign 
exchange regime by the Central Bank of Nigeria on 21 April 2017, 
confidence has improved and the Nigerian banking index has 
increased by 73%. In line with this ETI’s quoted share price – albeit 
illiquid – increased by 65% during 2017 which resulted in the 
market value of the group’s investment in ETI increasing during 
the year to R3.6 billion at 31 December 2017 and R4.1 billion at 
28 February 2018. While risks remain, the actions taken to improve 
ETI’s financial position and governance, along with an improving 
macroeconomic environment, is expected to drive an improved 
financial performance from ETI in 2018. 

As required by IFRS, the R1 billion impairment provision 
recognised at 31 December 2016 was reviewed at 31 December 
2017 and it was determined that currently no change to the 
provision was required. 

A R96 million associate loss was incurred due to operational losses 
in an associate, which is the cash-processing supplier to the four 
large banks. 

Statement of financial position 
Capital 
The group continued to strengthen its capital position, with our 
CET1 ratio of 12.6% now above the top end of our internal target 
range of 10.5–12.5%, following organic capital generation through 
earnings growth, lower asset growth and some RWA optimisation. 

In the current environment of slower advances growth, capital 
generation has been stronger following lower credit RWA growth 
and continued refinement of Basel models. This was partially offset 
by the impact of the rand strengthening at the back end of 2017, 
which adversely impacted foreign currency translation reserves 
and led to higher credit valuation adjustment RWA. Higher levels 
of equity exposure resulted in increased equity RWA. As a result 
overall RWA increased 3.7% to R528.2 billion.

Group strategic focus 
During 2017 we continued to focus on delivering on our five 
strategic focus areas designed to make Nedbank a more agile, 
competitive and digital bank, and underpin sustainable earnings 
growth and improving returns.  

Delivering innovative market-leading client 
experiences  
We launched various market-leading innovations such as the new 
Nedbank Private Wealth mobile app. This was one of the first 
products delivered through our Digital Fast Lane capability. It 
ranked joint sixth in the global Mobile Apps for Wealth Management 
2017 survey and was placed third among 600 apps in the Best 
Enterprise Solution category at the MTN Business App of the 
Year Awards. The new Nedbank Money app, which makes 
banking more convenient for our retail clients, was downloaded 
more than 300,000 times since November 2017. We launched 
UNLOCKED.ME, an exclusive e-commerce marketplace 
for millennials.  

Karri, our mobile payment app that enables users to make cash-
free payments for school activities quickly, securely and hassle-
free, has been rolled out to more than 100 schools across the 
country. In Nedbank Wealth we piloted geyser telemetry, an 
innovative smart home solution that reduces electricity consumption. 
As far as our integrated channels are concerned, we have 
converted 55% of our outlets to new-image branches to date, and 
our investment in distribution channels over the next three years 
(until 2020) will result in 73% of our retail clients being exposed 
to the new-image branch format and self-service offerings.  

The introduction of chatbots and robo-advisors will continue to 
enhance client experiences through our contact centre and web-
servicing capabilities. We launched NZone, our digital self-service 
branch at the Sandton Gautrain station, as well as Africa’s first 
solar-powered branch to enable banking in deep-rural communities. 
The foundations put in place through Managed Evolution (our 
core systems and technology platform transformation), digital 
enhancements and New Ways of Work will lead to ongoing 
incremental digital benefits and enhanced client service.  

In 2018 Nedbank will bring further exciting digital innovations 
to market to enhance client experiences and drive efficiencies. 
Some of these include a refreshed internet banking experience in 
line with our mobile banking apps, the ability to sell an unsecured 
loan bundled with a transactional account, simplified client on-
boarding with convenient, FICA-compliant account opening from 
your couch, a new and exciting loyalty and rewards solution, and 
further rollout of chatbots, robo-advisors and software robots 
(robotic process automation).  

Growing our transactional banking franchise 
faster than the market  
Nedbank’s RBB franchise grew its total client base 1.6% to 7.5 
million, with 6.0 million clients having a transactional account and 
2.8 million main-banked clients supporting retail transactional NIR 
growth of 6.0%. Our main-banked client numbers remained flat 
as slower transactional activity caused some of our existing clients 
to fall outside our main-banked definition, particularly in the youth 
segment, while the middle-market, professional and small business 
client segments continued to increase. The newly launched 
Consulta survey estimates Nedbank’s share of main-banked clients 
at 12.7%, up from the 10.1% recorded through the 2015 AMPS 
survey (using a similar methodology) as we aim to reach a share 
of more than 15% by 2020. Our integrated model in CIB enabled 
deeper client penetration and increased cross-sell, resulting in 
26 primary-bank client wins in 2017.  

Being operationally excellent in all we do  
Cost discipline is an imperative in an environment of slower revenue 
growth. We have ongoing initiatives to ensure this, such as having 
reduced our core systems from 251 to 129 since inception of the 
Managed Evolution programme, with us being well on our way to 
reaching a target end state of less than 60 core systems by 2020; 
and the reduction of floor space in RBB by more than 30,000 m² 
by 2020; of which 24,485 m² has been achieved to date. We 
worked with our sister companies in the Old Mutual Group to 
deliver synergies of just in excess of R1 billion, R393 million of 
which accrued to Nedbank. Good progress was also made with our 
target operating model (TOM) initiatives, which aim at generating 
R1.0 billion pre-tax benefits for Nedbank by 2019 (and R1.2 billion 
by 2020) and are linked to our long-term incentive scheme. Most 
cost initiatives have been identified in RBB and we delivered 
savings of R621 million in 2017, which includes TOM savings.  

During the year we reduced headcount by 859 (mostly through 
natural attrition), optimised our staffed points of presence by closing 
32 in-retailer and 53 personal-loan outlets (while maintaining our 
coverage of the bankable population at 84%). We achieved 
efficiencies through the recycling of cash through our increased 
footprint of Intelligent Depositor devices. Four client-servicing 
functions, previously only accessible through branches, as well 
as the new Nedbank Money app were launched during the fourth 
quarter of 2017, while another 33 are planned for deployment 
across our digital channels by March 2018. We implemented 
50 software robots (robotic process automation) to enhance 
efficiencies and reduce processing errors in administrative-intense 
processes, with more than 200 planned for rollout in 2018.  

Managing scarce resources to optimise 
economic outcomes  
We maintained our focus on growing activities that generate higher 
levels of EP, such as growing transactional deposits and increasing 
transactional banking revenues, with commission and fees in RBB 
up 5.3%, and achieved earnings growth of 6.9% in RBB and 5.0% 
in CIB. Our selective origination of personal loans, home loans and 
commercial-property finance has proactively limited downside risk 
in this challenging operating climate, enabling a CLR of 0.49%, 
below the bottom end of our TTC target range. At the same time 
our balance sheet metrics remain strong and we continue to deliver 
dividend growth above the rate of HEPS growth.

nominal GDP. 

  NIM to be slightly above the 2017 level of 3.62%.  
  CLR to increase into the bottom half of our target range of 60 

to 100 bps (under IFRS 9). 

  NIR to grow above mid-single digits. 
  Associate income to be positive (ETI associate income reported 

quarterly in arrear). 

  Expenses to increase by mid-single digits. 

Given the loss in associate income from ETI in the 2017 base and 
continued delivery on the Nedbank strategy, our financial guidance 
is for growth in DHEPS for the full 2018 year to be in line with our 
medium-to-long-term target of greater than or equal to GDP + 
the consumer price index + 5%. 

The outlook for our medium-to-long-term targets in 2018 is as 
follows, and we have now set ourselves specific 2020 targets of 
ROE (excluding goodwill) of greater than or equal to 18% and cost 
to income of lower than or equal to 53% as a pathway to ongoing 
and sustainable improvements in the key metrics that support 
shareholder value creation.  

Economic and regulatory outlook 
While structural challenges remain, 2018 has started with renewed 
optimism that these will be addressed and that improving business 
and consumer confidence should lead to a cyclical upturn off 
a low base. The SA economy is forecast to grow about 1.6% in 
2018 as a resilient world economy and relatively firm international 
commodity prices are expected to provide further support to 
domestic production and exports. Business and consumer 
confidence should also improve from very weak levels in 2017, 
boosted by newly elected SA President Ramaphosa’s promises to 
restore good governance, take immediate action against corruption 
and state capture, and make changes to many cabinet portfolios. 
Moderate growth in consumer spending and credit are forecast for 
2018, while fixed investment, as well as government consumption 
and capital expenditure, is forecast to remain subdued.  

The recovery in sub-Saharan Africa is expected to gather pace in 
2018, underpinned by the ongoing global commodity price upswing 
as well as improved government finances and structural reforms in 
some African countries. The International Monetary Fund expects 
sub-Saharan Africa to grow faster at 3.4% this year.  

Domestic inflation is forecast to recede moderately in the early part 
of 2018, before edging higher towards the end of the year, averaging 
about 5.1% over the year as a whole. Early in the year a stronger 
rand, coupled with easing food and fuel prices, should help contain 
inflation off the higher base that prevailed at the start of 2017. The 
rand remains the key risk to the inflation outlook. High expectations 
of political, policy and fiscal reforms have been built into the rand’s 
recent rally. If the new ANC leadership fails to deliver, especially on 
the fiscal concerns, SA still runs the risk of being downgraded to 
universal sub-investment grade status, which could place the rand 
under pressure and alter the inflation outlook for the year. Given 
these uncertainties, the anticipated rise in US interest rates, the 
gradual tapering of quantitative easing programmes by other major 
central banks and the expected upturn in the domestic inflation 
cycle towards year-end, the SARB’s Monetary Policy Committee 
is forecast to keep interest rates unchanged at current levels 
throughout 2018 and into 2019.  

Fitch indicated that a failure to implement credible fiscal consolidation 
and any further economic deterioration could trigger another rating 
downgrade. S&P will act if both the economy and standards of 
public governance weaken further, while Moody’s will downgrade 
the country if the measures to address the fiscal funding gap lack 
credibility or the chosen structural reforms fail to encourage 
investment and growth. 

Overall economic conditions should improve off a low base and, 
despite the many challenges faced by the SA economy, the 
SA banking system remains sound, liquid and well capitalised.

Strategy 
Our vision is to be the UK’s leading wealth manager. We are a 
purpose-built, full service wealth manager delivering good customer 
outcomes. We have leading positions in one of the world’s largest 
wealth markets, and our multi-channel proposition and investment 
performance are driving integrated flows and long term customer 
relationships. Together this has delivered attractive top-line growth 
and there is the opportunity for improved operating leverage 
following our intended listing as Quilter plc.  

In 2017, alongside sustained strong investment performance, 
we have attracted very high levels of net flows, and our business 
model is proving a huge success in providing what customers want. 
This has enabled us to maintain our profitability while still investing 
in the business ahead of listing, and we achieved a 29% operating 
margin for 2017 for the go-forward business. We have further 
grown our distribution capabilities through the acquisition of 
Caerus, and we remain on track and on budget with our UK 
Platform Transformation Programme. We have a strong balance 
sheet, strong capital and liquidity positions and we are financially 
independent from Old Mutual plc. We have also now completed 
our separation activities and we believe that we are ready to list.

Annual Report and Accounts 2017 

In total, Quilter integrated flows grew 167% from £1.8 billion in 2016 
to £4.8 billion in 2017 (£5.2 billion excluding Heritage outflows). 
The restricted channel of Intrinsic accounted for £1.2 billion (27%) 
of UK Platform net inflows in 2017 (2016: £0.9 billion; 32%) and 
£2.5 billion of net flows into OMGI’s Multi-Asset solutions business 
in 2017, principally into the Cirilium fund ranges. Integrated net 
inflows from Intrinsic into Quilter Cheviot amounted to £0.2 billion, 
over half of which was through OMWPCA.  

Assets under management/administration 
(AuMA) 
Old Mutual Wealth AuMA was £138.5 billion, up 20% from the end 
of 2016 (31 December 2016: £115.3 billion excluding our divested 
Italian business (£6.2 billion) and South African branches (£2.0 
billion) which have been transferred to OMEM). Of the 20% 
increase in AuMA, 10% (£11.0 billion) is due to positive market 
performance, 9% (£10.9 billion) resulted from positive NCCF, and 
1% (£1.3 billion) came from the acquisition of Caerus and Attivo.  

Quilter AuMA, excluding Single Strategy, was £114.4 billion, 
up 16% from £98.2 billion as at 31 December 2016, also driven 
by positive market performance and strong NCCF.

Old Mutual Wealth‘s IFRS post-tax profit was £99 million for 2017, 
compared to a loss of £4 million in 2016. This improvement was 
driven by the higher adjusted operating profit, principally resulting 
from the exceptional net performance fees in Single Strategy.  
Key reconciling items between the IFRS profit and pre-tax  
Adjusted Operating Profit (AOP) were UK Platform transformation 
costs of £74 million (2016: £102 million), one-off costs in 2017 
relating to Managed Separation of £32 million (in 2016, these  
one-off costs of £7 million were included within AOP), costs 
associated with voluntary customer remediation in certain legacy 
products described below, the combined effects of intangibles 
amortisation and the impact of acquisition accounting totalling  
£103 million (2016: £140 million), and year-on-year movements  
in policyholder tax. 

On 3 March 2016, the UK Financial Conduct Authority (‘FCA’) 
issued a report detailing the findings of its industry-wide thematic 
review on the fair treatment of long-standing customers invested in 
closed-book products sold by the life insurance sector (TR 16/2) 
(‘Thematic Review’). As part of our ongoing work to promote fair 
customer outcomes, product reviews consistent with the 
recommendations from the FCA’s thematic feedback and the 
FCA’s guidance ‘FG16/8 Fair Treatment of long-standing 
customers in the life insurance sector’ have been conducted. 
Following these reviews, it has been decided to commence 
voluntary remediation to customers in certain legacy products 
within the Heritage book. As part of this, we have decided to cap 
early encashment charges at 5% for pension customers under 55 
going forward, to refund all early encashment charges over 5% 
on pensions products applied since 1 January 2009 and to refund 
certain paid-up charges incurred since 1 January 2009.  

A provision of £69 million has been made within our 2017 results 
for the aggregate of these remediation costs, and this has been 
reported outside of Adjusted Operating Profit, firstly because of the 
significant and historical nature of the cost, and secondly, because 
it does not reflect the underlying performance of Old Mutual Wealth 
during 2017.  

Also on 3 March 2016, the FCA announced that it was initiating an 
investigation into a number of firms, including Old Mutual Wealth 
Life Assurance Limited (OMWLA), a subsidiary of Old Mutual 
Wealth reported within Heritage, in relation to potential breaches 
of the FCA’s standards relevant to the matters covered by the 
Thematic Review. We continue to cooperate and work openly 
with the FCA in connection with their investigation following the 
Thematic Review. No provision has been made for any potential 
fine that may be levied by the FCA.

of the completion of the Managed Separation from Old Mutual plc. 
These comprise a mixture of standalone, advisor and other 
transaction costs, and will be charged outside of operating profit 
to reflect their one-off nature. Of these, c.£12 million are expected 
to be in respect of the rebrand of the business from Old Mutual 
Wealth to Quilter.  

Operating margin 
The Old Mutual Wealth operating margin was higher than prior year 
at 36%, driven by higher net performance fees more than offsetting 
the impact of increased expenses. Including Single Strategy, but 
excluding net performance fees, the operating margin is 
unchanged at 29%.  

On a standalone basis, the Quilter operating margin declined to 
29% compared to 32% in 2016 principally as a result of the 
increase in operational costs and investment in business initiatives 
ahead of listing. 

The increasing proportion of revenues from advice fees, which are 
largely matched by costs of advisers and investment in the advice 
model itself, has contributed to the reduction in operating margin. 

UK Platform Transformation 
The contracts with IFDS related to the UK Platform Transformation 
came to an end by mutual agreement effective as of 2 May 2017. 
At the same time, we announced that we had contracted with  
FNZ to deliver our UK Platform Transformation Programme.  

We continue to plan for a soft launch of the enhanced customer 
and adviser proposition supplied by FNZ by late 2018 or early  
2019 with migration of existing advisers and customers to follow 
swiftly thereafter.  

Of the estimated UK Platform Transformation Programme costs  
of £120-160 million announced in May 2017, £21 million had been 
incurred by 31 December 2017. We currently anticipate spend of 
c.£75 million in 2018 with the balance arising in 2019. The project 
remains on time and within budget and excellent progress has 
been made with all key deliverables to date being within our 
planned timelines. 

Expenses  
Old Mutual Wealth’s reported expenses increased by 13% to  
£638 million. Single Strategy expenses are £119m in 2017, up  
from £95 million in 2016 driven by an increase in variable incentives 
in line with performance, increased headcount and regulatory 
compliance costs. Old Mutual Wealth Italy and South Africa 
branches together accounted for £23 million of costs in 2016  
(2017: nil). Consistent with the treatment in prior periods, bonuses 
on gross performance fees are deducted from those performance 
fees which are reported, on a net basis, within revenue. 

Quilter expenses on a standalone basis increased by 18% to 
£519 million.

The main components of the increase in Quilter expenses on 
a standalone basis are: 

  The increase in underlying administration expenses of £39 

million reflects a focussed increase in technology spend (£13 
million) linked to improving the resiliency of our IT infrastructure; 
changes in regulation including compliance with GDPR, MIFID II 
requirements and FSCS costs (£10 million); adverse year-on-
year movements in provisions (£6 million); and other organic and 
inflationary costs (£10 million).  

  Variable incentives in 2017 amounted to £78 million, an increase 
of £14 million on 2016 in line with performance. This reflects 
higher levels of funds under management in the multi-asset 
business and Quilter Cheviot and higher senior headcount due to 
the strengthening of senior management ahead of listing. 
  Investment in new business initiatives principally reflects the 

costs of expanding Old Mutual Wealth Private Client Advisers 
and the inclusion of Caerus Capital Group, the acquisition of 
which completed on 1 June 2017.  

  Managed Separation and standalone costs of £16 million include 
£9 million to reflect the strengthening of the business and other 
recurring standalone costs. 2017 was a transitional year for the 
business, and the incremental recurring costs of £16 million for 
2017 do not yet reflect a full-year run-rate of such costs.  

  Consistent with previous disclosures, separation is estimated to 
increase the standalone cost base by £25-30 million per annum 
compared to 2016, and therefore additional recurring costs 
beyond the £16 million incurred in 2017, are expected to be 
incurred in 2018. In line with information provided previously, this 
increase excludes the impact of the costs for the proposed new 
long-term incentive plan, and future debt financing costs. Details 
of future debt financing costs are set out within our cash and 
capital disclosures.

Old Mutual plc 
Annual Report and Accounts 2017 

Old Mutual Wealth Management Limited has been given an 
issuer’s default rating from Fitch of A-. The financial strength 
of Old Mutual Wealth Life Assurance Limited (our Heritage life 
assurance business) is rated A by Fitch.  

Managed Separation and Board developments 
We made good progress with our programme of activity as we 
work towards independence as part of the Managed Separation 
from Old Mutual plc. By the end of 2017, all functions had materially 
delivered all changes necessary to be standalone. 

To ensure our organisation is fit for purpose as a listed, standalone 
entity, we have continued to reshape and strengthen our executive 
management team and our Board. During 2017, Tim Tookey was 
appointed as Chief Financial Officer and Mark Satchel assumed 
the role of Corporate Finance Director. Paul Hucknall was 
appointed as HR Director and joined the executive committee 
on 1 January 2018.  

Rosie Harris, George Reid and Jon Little joined the Old Mutual 
Wealth Board as Independent Non-Executive Directors during  
H1 2017. On joining, Rosie was appointed Chair of the Board Risk 
Committee. George Reid has been appointed Chair of the Board 
Audit Committee, and Moira Kilcoyne, who was appointed to the 
Board at the end of 2016, has been appointed Chair of the Board 
IT Committee. Old Mutual Wealth intends to comply with the UK 
Corporate Governance Code and the arrangements to achieve 
compliance are well advanced. 

We have also strengthened the boards of our principal regulated 
subsidiaries by increasing the level of independence on those 
boards, including through additional representation from the  
Non-Executive directors on the Old Mutual Wealth Board.  

Funding and future capital structure  
Quilter plans to maintain a strong solvency and liquidity position 
through disciplined management of capital resources and risks. 
The backing of a financially strong group is important given the 
security and peace of mind that it affords customers and advisers. 

Quilter will maintain a disciplined approach to capital, in order 
to balance its current and anticipated liquidity, regulatory capital 
and investment needs, with a view to returning excess capital to 
shareholders as appropriate. As part of its disciplined approach 
to capital, the Group has a prudent capital management and 
liquidity policy.  

On 28 February 2018, we entered into, and fully drew down, 
a senior unsecured term loan of £300 million with a number of 
relationship banks. This term loan will be repaid in full using 
proceeds from the sale of Single Strategy following the completion 
of that transaction. In addition, we have entered into a £125 million 
revolving credit facility, which is currently undrawn and is expected 
to remain undrawn during 2018.  

Also on 28 February 2018, we issued a £200 million subordinated 
debt security in the form of a 10-year Tier 2 bond with a one-time 
issuer call option after five years to J.P. Morgan Securities plc, 
paying a semi-annual coupon of 4.478%. Including the impact 
of amortisation of bond set-up costs, the issuance of this security 
will increase operating expenses in the Corporate Head Office 
segment by approximately £11 million on an annual basis. The 
debt security is currently undocumented and unlisted and has a 
Fitch instrument rating of BBB-. We intend to finalise a prospectus 
and obtain a listing for the bond on the regulated market of the 
London Stock Exchange, with a view to a potential remarketing 
and secondary placement of the security in due course. 

The subordinated debt security, the new term loan and the 
revolving credit facility have been issued to ensure that Quilter 
has sufficient capital and liquidity to maintain strong capital ratios 
and free cash balances to withstand severe but plausible stress 
scenarios. These include, despite it being considered to be a 
remote event, the sale of Single Strategy failing to complete.  

Adjusting the 31 December 2017 Solvency II ratio of 155% for the 
£200m subordinated debt security and the new term loan would 
result in a pro forma Solvency II ratio of 171% at 31 December 
2017 (before any impact of the sale of Single Strategy).  

Whilst this pro forma ratio does not include the expected Solvency 
II benefit arising on completion of the sale of Single Strategy, we 
believe it includes sufficient free cash to complete all committed 
strategic investments (including the UK Platform Transformation 
Programme) and to allow for any further potential costs associated 
with the FCA’s Thematic Review, including for any potential fine 
which may be levied by the FCA, in respect of which no provision 
has yet been made. The impact of this prudent policy is that Quilter 
expects to maintain a solvency position in excess of its policy in the 
near-term.

Solvency II impact of sale of Single Strategy 
Following the completion of the sale of the Single Strategy 
business, we expect to report that Quilter’s net asset value 
will increase by c.£360 million based on current consideration 
expectations and before allowing for the costs of disposal. 
In addition, we expect to record a restructuring charge of  
c.£ 20 million in respect of the establishment of the standalone 
multi-asset business. 

Dividend policy 
Our dividend policy will be to target a dividend pay-out range of 
40 to 60 per cent of post-tax operating profit, with the split of interim 
and final dividends to be approximately one-third and two-thirds 
respectively. Any dividends will take into account Quilter’s 
underlying cash generation, cash resources, capital position, 
distributable reserves and market conditions at the time. 

The first dividend payment which Quilter will make as a separately 
listed company is expected to be the final dividend in respect of 
the year ending 31 December 2018. Quilter currently expects this 
dividend to be determined by a pay-out ratio at the lower end of the 
target range and to reflect the expected interim / final dividend split. 

Following the completion of the sale of Single Strategy, and outside 
the above dividend policy, Quilter will also consider a distribution 
from the surplus proceeds to its shareholders. In determining the 
size of any potential return, a number of factors will be taken into 
account, including: (i) the repayment in full of the senior unsecured 
term loan, (ii) the costs associated with the sale of Single Strategy, 
and (iii) the costs associated with the establishment of the 
standalone Quilter Investors multi-asset business.

Plc Head Office and the 
businesses have made good 
progress in planning and 
executing key steps in readiness 
for the Group’s separation.  

Sue Kean 
Group Chief Risk Officer 

2017 was a critical year for the delivery of the plc strategy. 
It marked a transition from planning and preparation to execution 
and delivery of the managed separation. Plc Head Office and 
the businesses have made good progress in preparing, planning 
and executing key steps in readiness for the Group’s separation, 
including completion of the sell-down of the OMAM business 
and preparing three strong and appropriately capacitated and 
capitalised businesses ready to stand alone in 2018. It also 
completed a number of important corporate finance transactions, 
including the disposal of OMAM and Kotak and further reduction 
in plc external debt. 

Once executed, managed separation will remove a number of key 
risks inherent to the current structure of the Group. These include 
currency translation risk, constraints on capital fungibility, and 
the 1999 demutualisation agreement under which the current plc 
costs and debt interest must be borne by the non-South African 
businesses. The risks inherent to the Group structure increased 
during 2017, as regulation evolved and the Group structure 
became even more South Africa focused. These longer-term 
strategic and structural risks are being mitigated to a certain extent 
by the managed separation. In turn, separation introduces shorter-
term risks; but while significant, these are largely manageable, 
and contingency plans are in place for any unexpected delays.  

Under the active portfolio manager model introduced at the start 
of the managed separation, the plc evaluates each of the Group’s 
businesses as an asset. This model is now fully embedded, with 
a significant amount of responsibility for meeting local capital and 
liquidity requirements delegated to the respective business Boards. 
The OMW and OML Boards and their respective governance 
frameworks have been redefined and refreshed to ensure their 
fitness to become listed companies.  

The managed separation project governance framework has 
continuously adapted to meet changing project needs. As might be 
expected with a programme of this size, project plans are complex 
with many interdependencies, timelines are tight and external 
factors such as unexpected political and economic events can 
exert additional pressures. Both financial and non-financial risks 
to the managed separation are constantly monitored, ensuring 
that we remain within the plc financial risk appetite metrics: central 
liquidity resources, capital, and earnings volatility. We also continue 
to monitor risk culture across the Group.  

We review each managed separation activity in terms of balancing 
value, cost, time and risk, relative to diverse stakeholder interests. 
Extensive stress and scenario testing (including macroeconomic 
and political risk) ensures that we have a full understanding of 
the possible impacts of variances within the plan and available 
management actions, and that the plc can remain within its 
financial risk appetite limits.  

We continue to focus on managed separation contingency 
planning, to ensure that we anticipate and mitigate risks and deploy 
appropriate responses in the event of unforeseen external issues 
or project management slippage.

 Old Mutual plc 
Annual Report and Accounts 2017  

Management of the working 
environment and stress-related 
risks has been a focus area for us. 
We have made good progress in 
determining and implementing 
appropriate values for each new 
standalone business. 

We have devoted considerable work to ensuring the orderly wind-
down of the plc and transitioning activities and capabilities to the 
businesses. The plc’s contingent liabilities and pre-existing risks 
such as the plc employee pension scheme and internal reinsurance 
programme are being addressed. To ensure an effective handover 
to OML, processes have been decommissioned where possible 
and data archived where necessary. The various asset disposals, 
currency hedging activities and debt liability management exercises 
during 2017 have substantially de-risked the residual plc balance 
sheet. To further reduce downside cash flow risks from equity 
markets, OM Bermuda updated its hedging strategy at the end 
of October. 

Within the businesses, the principal risks remain broadly consistent 
with those described in the 2015 and 2016 Annual Reports. 
However, there is a different emphasis on some risks. Execution 
risk relating to the managed separation is elevated at plc Head 
Office and the subsidiaries all have significant strategic execution 
risks relating to major IT or business change initiatives as well 
as the managed separation itself.  

Macroeconomic risk in our principal markets continues to be a 
focus for the Group, as it is for financial services firms generally. 
In OMW the risks to capital are small but the risks to earnings are 
very much dependent on market conditions, given OMW’s reliance 
on asset-based fees. This contrasts with our African businesses, 
particularly in South Africa, where macro conditions create risks 
to earnings, liquidity and local capital in the lending, insurance 
and asset management operations. 

In 2017, South Africa suffered several sovereign downgrades 
that increased economic pressures on the country, and there is a 
significant risk that the country could be removed from international 
government bond indices. Although the ANC leadership change 
at the end of 2017 has been positively received by the markets, 
political and policy uncertainty will continue in 2018 and potentially 
until the April 2019 national elections. We undertake extensive 
stress and scenario tests focusing on these economic and political 
risks, and business plans have been designed to accommodate 
this difficult macroeconomic position. 

Finally, given the high level of organisation change, we are mindful 
of culture and heightened people risk at plc Head Office and across 
the businesses. Management of the working environment and 
stress-related risks has been a focus area for us, using specialist 
external resources where required. We have made good progress 
in developing resource contingency plans at plc Head Office, and 
in determining and implementing appropriate values for each new 
standalone business.

 Old Mutual plc 
Annual Report and Accounts 2017  

Current impact and risk outlook 

  Risk mitigation and management actions 

The managed separation listings and scheme need to be executed in a manner that balances value, time, cost and risk to ensure the best 
outcome for all stakeholders. 

Managed separation is an inherently complex project with many 
inter-dependencies and will require multiple internal and external 
approvals. Project delivery delays or failure to obtain regulatory or 
court approvals could potentially impact the separation timelines 
and increase costs. 

People stretch, both at plc and within the businesses, remains a 
key risk to the managed separation execution. The businesses are 
implementing managed separation and their own internal change 
projects concurrently.  

South African political risk could impact or delay the regulatory 
approvals required for completion of the managed separation. 

  Robust project management and governance frameworks have 

been implemented, co-ordinated across plc, OML and OMW with 
adviser support. The managed separation governance frameworks 
have evolved as the project evolves.  

The financial and execution risks to managed separation are 
regularly reviewed and assessed, with action taken to mitigate 
risks balancing time, cost and value.  

A number of risks are largely outside Old Mutual’s direct control – 
such as obtaining timely regulatory and court approvals. We have 
taken action to mitigate these risks as far as possible: for example, 
early and proactive engagement on the required regulatory 
approvals, implementation of a shareholder engagement strategy, 
and the liability debt management exercise.  

In 2017, we paid particular attention to people and stretch risk. In plc 
we reviewed all resourcing and made contingency plans for delays 
to managed separation. The businesses acquired additional 
resource or upskilled as required, and each area put in place plans 
to address their particular concerns. 

While we remain a Group, plc needs to ensure that we meet our fiduciary duties while winding-down the businesses in an orderly manner. 

The wind-down of plc needs to be undertaken in a manner that will 
still allow plc to fulfil its fiduciary duties. Wherever possible the plc 
contingent liabilities and pre-existing plc risks need to be wound 
down or addressed to minimise transferring these to either OML 
or OMW. 

  Plc’s fiduciary duties for the remainder of managed separation 

have been identified and processes are in place to ensure these 
are met. 

In 2017 we made significant progress in addressing plc contingent 
liabilities and pre-existing risks. Actions included the Kotak sale,  
the resolution of the two legacy pension schemes and the 
repayment and repurchase of a significant amount of debt.  
As a result the plc balance sheet will have a positive net asset  
value on transfer to OML. 

As part of the wider managed separation process there are robust 
plc closure plans in place. Wherever possible, redundant processes 
and tasks have already been closed down. This will continue into 
2018 to ensure a streamlined plc is handed over to OML. 

We have anticipated the risk of not retaining enough plc Head  
Office operational capacity and capability to run the residual Group 
effectively in the event of a delayed separation. Although not 
considered likely, it has been mitigated through contingency planning.

Key risks to OMEM and Nedbank, and OMW 
In addition to the risks relating to the execution of the managed separation, OML and OMW are exposed to a number of risks inherent 
to the products they offer and the markets that they operate in.  

OMEM and Nedbank (ultimately OML) 
Current impact and risk outlook 

  Risk mitigation and management actions 

Volatile or difficult macroeconomic conditions, particularly within South Africa, could potentially increase financial pressure on consumers, 
impacting OML’s future earnings and credit risk. 

In 2017 South Africa’s real GDP growth increased marginally to 
0.9%, with the IMF forecasting similar rates of growth in 2018. 
There were also several sovereign downgrades which may trigger 
South Africa’s subsequent exclusion from the Citi World 
Government Bond Index.  

The 21 February 2018 Budget introduced a number of tax 
increases, which sought to address the rising South African 
government’s fiscal deficit. One of these was a 1% increase 
to VAT, which together with a continued low growth rate for 
the economy could increase financial pressure on consumers. 
The result of such pressure could be reduced demand for OML’s 
financial products and services, and an increase in lapses and 
credit default rates.  

Nedbank, and to a lesser but growing extent OMEM, have 
significant exposure to credit risk through their banking 
businesses. Nedbank has a greater proportion of wholesale 
funding than the market norm; and it is exposed to significant 
credit risk within the core South African market and in the Rest 
of Africa, where there are particular challenges due to low growth. 

The economic situation in Zimbabwe remains volatile, with a lack 
of liquidity and substantial increases in equity markets, which may 
not be sustainable. Local exchange controls may reduce OMEM’s 
ability to remit dividends back to South Africa. 

  OML continuously monitors its financial risk appetite metrics and 
builds multiple external economic factors into stress and scenario 
testing to understand their possible impact on earnings, liquidity 
and capital resilience. 

In anticipation of 2017’s sovereign downgrades, we built the 
possible impacts into OML’s business plans and downside 
projections. Both Nedbank and OMEM are focused on managing 
discretionary costs resulting from lower growth and potentially 
slowing revenues as consumers come under increasing pressure.  

Within OMEM, market and liquidity risks arising from guaranteed 
products, and the hedges in place to mitigate them, are actively 
overseen by the Balance Sheet Management team.  

OMEM’s Credit Loss Ratio remained within limits during 2017, 
and work continues to develop an improved credit risk governance 
framework. Due to the current macroeconomic environment, lending 
is being further restricted to keep OMEM within risk appetite, and 
this may impact planned earnings. 

Nedbank’s credit losses were better than planned, due mainly to 
good risk management and provisioning. Nedbank remains well 
positioned to deal with potentially severe stress scenarios. 

OMEM continuously reviews developments in Zimbabwe and 
undertakes separate stress and scenario testing to understand 
exposures and identify possible management actions. 

Changing government policies and public sentiment, particularly in South Africa, could adversely influence external perceptions of OML and 
impact regulations (including business ownership and fungibility restrictions within Africa). 

Global and South African political risk remained elevated 
throughout 2017, but has stabilised somewhat following the 
February 2018 leadership transition. In H2 2017 media attention 
focused on issues relating to corruption and state capture. The 
resignation of Jacob Zuma as President and the appointment 
of Cyril Ramaphosa as his successor in February 2018 was well 
received by markets. Tackling corruption and renewing investor 
confidence will be government priorities. 

Key risks to OML include the business received from collective 
labour organisations and public sector workers, which could 
present a risk of mass exits from our products following a change 
in sentiment or could be affected by government cutbacks.  

South African political risk also creates additional risks in the 
macroeconomic environment (see above). 

The recent military-backed transfer of power in Zimbabwe raised 
concerns around political instability. To date the transition has 
been orderly and introduces potential upside political risk, 
particularly if the new leadership is able to introduce measures 
aimed at supporting economic growth. 

  OML monitors political developments and their possible impacts 

on the business.  

Where there are potential systemic risks such as the KPMG 
allegations, cross-businesses teams are mobilised to review the 
potential impacts of the event, ascertain the actions that can be 
taken, and work with external stakeholders.  

Nedbank’s CEO began engagement with Cyril Ramaphosa after 
his election as ANC leader, emphasising the need for economic 
policy certainty. OMEM’s CEO is an active member of Business 
Leadership South Africa and the Association for Savings and 
Investments South Africa, and attended and sponsored the 
JSE South African investment conference in New York in 
November 2017. 

During 2017, Nedbank enhanced its monitoring and governance 
over reputational risk in relation to customers, suppliers and other 
stakeholders.

 Old Mutual plc 
Annual Report and Accounts 2017  

Current impact and risk outlook 

  Risk mitigation and management actions 

Failure to adequately anticipate or respond to competitive pressures or changing customer expectations, particularly in relation to enhancing the 
digital offering. 

OMEM faces significant competitive pressures in its core markets 
and there is a risk of being left behind in the customer proposition 
development race. 

OMEM is undertaking several strategic investments to improve 
customer processes and experience, respond to new regulatory 
requirements, and integrate the UAP business, acquired in 2015, 
with investment in sales and service enablement in Africa (starting 
in the Faulu and CABS businesses). 

Nedbank is currently implementing the digital journey and 
managed evolution of its existing IT infrastructure. Its Managed 
Evolution systems roll out, now underway, and digital fast lane 
strategy are bringing large-scale changes; some increase in 
IT disruption and impact to systems availability must therefore 
be expected. 

OMEM is exposed to risks relating to the stability and maintenance 
of its existing IT infrastructure in its Rest of Africa businesses. 

Strategic and governance risks in the Rest of Africa subsidiaries. 

Nedbank and OMEM’s Rest of Africa businesses have been 
subject to strategic and governance risks and in some cases 
underperformance. As some of these subsidiaries are separately 
listed and not fully owned, there are potential issues relating to 
information flows and strategic alignment. In addition, businesses 
in some jurisdictions may be subject to government restrictions 
on repatriation of profits. 

Nedbank’s strategic alliance with ETI was significantly affected 
by the fall in oil prices and the downturn in the Nigerian economy, 
resulting in losses and lower-than-expected business flows. 
However, there have been a number of positive developments 
during the year, including Nigeria exiting recession.  

OMEM has been working to integrate the UAP business with 
a focus on embedding governance and control frameworks. 
The CABS business has the risk of volatile results due to the 
challenging environment. 

  De-risking and de-scoping OMEM’s IT transformation programme 
has reduced project delivery risk. A robust project governance 
framework is in place and progress is monitored by the OMEM 
Board IT Committee, which has been augmented with experienced 
non-executive directors. 

Nedbank has a strong and established IT governance framework 
and has enhanced second-line oversight. OMEM is currently 
reviewing its entire IT capability framework to ensure that it can 
support the future strategy. 

  The Rest of Africa businesses remain closely monitored and 

overseen by the respective Nedbank and OMEM Group functions 
and Board committees. Progress has been made in strengthening 
and aligning governance and control frameworks and the integration 
of Rest of Africa subsidiaries remains a focus area. 

Nedbank has identified a need for a centralised and co-ordinated 
operating framework to align the subsidiaries with the main 
business, increasing monitoring and oversight at the subsidiary 
level. This framework is in its early implementation stages.  

The outlook for the ETI alliance improved during 2017, as Nigeria’s 
exit from recession helped to boost business performance. ETI 
governance committees have been strengthened with key 
appointments. 

A cybersecurity breach may cause business disruption, reputational damage and material adverse effects on the business’ 
financial condition, operational results and prospects. 

Both OMEM and Nedbank are exposed to increasing cyber 
security risks, with legacy infrastructure particularly vulnerable. 
Cyber attacks could result in operational losses, interruption 
of business operations, the loss of critical data and 
reputational damage. 

  Nedbank has an experienced Chief Information Security Officer 
and has made significant progress in enhancing cyber-resilience 
during 2017. Nedbank continues to invest substantially on 
this front.  

OMEM has recruited a new Chief Information Security Officer and 
strengthening its cybersecurity team. The effectiveness of the 
control environment is assessed by regular external assurance.

Annual Report and Accounts 2017  

Current impact and risk outlook 

  Risk mitigation and management actions 

Failure to adequately anticipate or respond to competitive pressures or changing customer expectations, particularly in relation to enhancing 
and developing a new platform. 

  The new platform transformation programme has a robust 
governance framework. It is overseen by OMW’s Board IT 
Committee, which includes non-executive directors with 
transformation project experience. The programme’s well defined 
project management framework includes risk identification and 
monitoring, with a clearly defined risk appetite framework and 
statements. Its progress has remained on-plan from the outset. 

Lessons learned from a review of the initial project have been 
implemented. Actions included ensuring strong second-line 
oversight and the creation of the OMW Board IT Committee.  

OMW must continue to anticipate and respond to competitive 
pressures and customer expectations relating to product design, 
distribution and customer experience. Failure to do so could result 
in reduced new business volumes and outflows. 

This is particularly relevant to OMW’s IT and systems, where 
key IT initiatives may not deliver what is required either on time 
or within budget or provide the performance levels required 
to support current and future needs.  

Failure to devote significant resources to support existing systems 
and upgrade legacy systems could impair our ability to gather 
information for pricing, underwriting and reserving, and to attract 
and retain customers, for whom online functionality is increasingly 
important. 

The initial platform project experienced significant cost and time 
over-runs and was terminated in 2017. It was replaced by a new 
platform transformation programme, with FNZ replacing IFDS 
as lead external partner. Failure of the new programme could 
materially affect OMW’s financial position and client relationships. 

Extensive regulatory change in core markets increases the risk of failing to comply with existing and new regulations. 

OMW is subject to extensive regulation in the UK and 
internationally and thus faces compliance risks, including conduct 
risk. The underlying businesses are subject to the risk of adverse 
changes in the laws, regulations and regulatory requirements in 
the markets in which they operate. It is difficult to accurately predict 
the timing, scope or form of future regulatory initiatives, although 
it is widely expected that there will continue to be a substantial 
amount of regulatory change. Notable developments include 
the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK 
Senior Managers and Certification Regime (SMCR) and a high 
degree of supervisory oversight of regulated financial services 
firms, challenging firms on the extent to which compliance with 
requirements and the interests of customers have been achieved. 

OMW is currently under investigation over to the treatment  
of long-standing customers of closed-book products. 

  OMW has built a regulatory change framework to allow effective 

planning and management across the organisation, and to ensure 
prompt identification of regulatory change affecting one or more 
OMW businesses.  

OMW-level projects are in place for key regulatory changes such 
as MiFID II and GDPR to ensure that a consistent approach to both 
interpretation and implementation is taken across all businesses, 
tracked by the OMW Regulatory Delivery Committee.  

A specialist Regulatory Liaison team facilitates effective relations 
and communications with OMW’s primary regulators, the FCA and 
PRA, ensuring careful tracking and delivery of regulatory requests 
and actions. The activities of this team are closely monitored by 
executive management and the Board Risk Committee. 

OMW is cooperating with the FCA in its investigation, which 
is ongoing. 

A cybersecurity breach may cause business disruption, reputational damage and material adverse effects on the business’ financial condition, 
operational results and prospects. 

OMW is increasingly exposed to the risk that third parties or 
malicious insiders may attempt to use cybercrime techniques, 
including distributed denial of service attacks, to disrupt the 
availability, confidentiality and integrity of its IT systems. This could 
result in disruption to key operations, make it difficult to recover 
critical services, damage assets and compromise data. 

  OMW have made significant investments across their businesses 
to increase system security and resilience, and an Information 
Security Improvement Programme is underway. OMW has 
appointed a new Chief Information Security Officer and are 
strengthening the support team.

Old Mutual plc  Annual Report and Accounts 2017Old Mutual plc 
Annual Report and Accounts 2017  

The plc’s appetite and intentions are set out below, with the metrics used to measure each: 

Capital 

  Earnings 

  Liquidity 

  Culture 

The Group has no appetite 
for regulatory intervention 
(whether perceived or real) 
during managed separation. 
As such, we hold a buffer 
above minimum requirements 
in order to remain solvent. 

During 2017, we continued to set 
Solvency II capital risk appetite 
at 110% with an EWT at 120%. 
This reflects the significant level 
of disallowed surplus capital 
within South Africa under the 
Solvency II calculations. We 
indicated at our 2017 Interim 
Results that we could accept the 
possibility of dipping below our 
EWT when considering options 
for our capital structure. 

Our key principle is that all our 
businesses should be well 
capitalised as if they were 
standalone businesses, and that 
the Group position must be 
compliant with regulatory 
requirements at all times. 

There is ongoing monitoring of 
our Solvency II position and the 
impact of managed separation 
activities on this are projected.  

We remained above our EWT 
throughout 2017. Based on 
stress tests, the Board agreed 
at the time of the Liability 
Management exercise in 
November that the Group could 
operate below the EWT where 
the reasons for it do not reflect 
the underlying economic position 
of the Group, providing the 
Group remained above risk 
appetite of 110%. 

  We accept that as part of our plc 
strategy of managed separation, 
and as our businesses 
consolidate their past expansion, 
execution risks and earnings 
volatility are likely to increase. 
However, we have no appetite 
for big surprises, such as 
earnings volatility that cannot 
be anticipated by the markets 
we operate in or significant 
operational losses. 

  The capital management 
policy introduced with the 
managed separation strategy 
allows significant flexibility 
in managing liquidity. 

We hold a buffer at Group level 
to support this, sufficient for a 
liquidity survival horizon of at 
least 12 months. We also have 
a multi-year liquidity view over 
the managed separation horizon. 
The Group should be able to 
meet extreme but plausible 
short-term losses. 

  We measure our risk and 

control culture by considering 
our governance and tone 
from the top, understanding 
of risk, attitude to risk, 
control functions, quality of 
management information, 
and remuneration structures. 

Qualitative assessment of our 
risk and control culture focuses 
on the values and behaviours 
embedded in the businesses 
that shape risk decisions.

Old Mutual plc  Annual Report and Accounts 2017 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Old Mutual plc 
Annual Report and Accounts 2017  

What is the Company’s  
approach to governance? 
As the Company’s primary listing (known in the UK as a premium 
listing) is on the London Stock Exchange, this report mainly 
addresses the matters covered by the UK Corporate Governance 
Code 2016, but the Company also has appropriate regard to 
governance expectations in other countries where its shares  
are listed.  

Has the Company complied with the 
UK Corporate Governance Code? 
Throughout the year ended 31 December 2017 and in the 
preparation of this Annual Report and Accounts, the Company  
has complied with the main and supporting principles and 
provisions set out in the UK Corporate Governance Code 2016 
applicable to that period, as described in more detail in the 
following sections of this report.  

Each year the Old Mutual plc Nomination and Governance 
Committee conducts a review of the membership of the Board  
and its committees. The Committee also considers committee 
composition at the time of every Board appointment and 
resignation. Following the resignation from the Board of 
Dr Nkosana Moyo on 29 June 2017, Alan Gillespie joined the 
Group Audit Committee (GAC) with effect from 1 August 2017.  
In view of the expected timetable for managed separation and  
the range of skills and experience remaining on the committees 
following Nonkululeko Nyembezi’s departure from the Board, the 
Nomination and Governance Committee decided not to replace  
her roles on the Board Risk Committee and the Nomination and 
Governance Committee; however, the situation will be kept under 
review in the event of any material delays to the completion of 
managed separation.  

Vassi Naidoo is not classified as independent due to his position  
as Chairman of Nedbank Group Limited. In respect of Vassi’s 
membership of the GAC, the Nomination and Governance 
Committee considers that his skills and experience, particularly 
regarding accounting and auditing matters, augment the 
composition of the GAC, and his membership is in the Company’s 
best interests. The GAC is chaired by an independent non-
executive director, Roger Marshall, and the three other members 
are independent non-executive directors. The Committee as  
a whole, has competence relevant to the sectors in which the 
Group operates. 

The Company’s compliance with the provisions of the 
UK Corporate Governance Code 2016, and the statement relating 
to the going concern basis adopted in preparing the financial 
statements set out towards the end of this section of this report, 
have been reviewed by the Company’s auditor, KPMG LLP,  
in accordance with guidance published by the UK Auditing 
Practices Board. 

The text of the UK Corporate Governance Code 2016 is available 
on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk.  

Approach to governance 
The Group’s governance framework, the Decision-Making 
Framework (DMF), sets out how the Company discharges its 
responsibilities as a shareholder of the Group’s businesses.  
The DMF was adopted to support the managed separation 
strategy. Its objectives are: 

  To establish clear principles of delegation and escalation 

designed to provide appropriate levels of assurance about  
the control environment, while retaining flexibility for our 
businesses to operate efficiently 

  To set out a clear and comprehensive governance framework – 
with appropriate procedures, systems and controls – facilitating 
the satisfactory discharge of the duties and obligations of 
regulated firms, directors and employees within the Group’s 
businesses 

  To articulate clearly what Old Mutual plc (as shareholder)  

expects from the boards of the businesses when exercising  
their powers as set out in their respective constitutions 

  To take due account of the regulatory requirement that boards  
of regulated entities maintain proper controls over the affairs 
of their respective businesses  

  To protect the interests of our various stakeholders, including 
shareholders, creditors, policyholders and customers, in all of  
the countries in which we operate 

How the DMF operates 
Under the DMF (and the related arrangements with our majority-
owned subsidiaries Nedbank and, while it was under the Group’s 
ownership, OMAM), the Company appoints up to three members  
of its senior executive management as non-executive directors  
on the boards of its major subsidiaries to ensure transparent 
communication of information in both directions. The boards of 
OMW, Old Mutual Group Holdings (OMGH), Nedbank Group 
Limited and OMEM are independently regulated and have a 
majority of independent directors (although for part of the year this 
was not the case for OMW while membership of its board was 
being refreshed). The Group’s major subsidiaries also have their 
own Audit, Risk and Remuneration Committees. OMGH, OMEM, 
Nedbank and OMW have independent chairmen. 

The major businesses hold regular review meetings with the 
Company’s Executive Committee (plc Exco) to monitor their 
business performance and managed separation preparations. 
These arrangements sit alongside the submission of monthly 
financial information. 

The DMF incorporates the ‘three lines of defence’ principles, 
assigning roles and responsibilities under three categories: 
acceptors of risk, overseers of the risks being taken, and 
independent reviewers and reporters of risk. 

The governance relationship with Nedbank recognises the latter’s 
own governance framework as a separately-listed entity on the JSE 
Limited and that it has minority shareholders. The Company has a 
relationship agreement with Nedbank that sets out the Company’s 
requirements and expectations as its majority shareholder and 
which is available on the Company’s website.

 Old Mutual plc 
Annual Report and Accounts 2017  

Are the non-executive directors independent? 
Of the eight current non-executive directors (excluding the 
Chairman), the Board considers six to be independent within  
the criteria set out in the UK Corporate Governance Code 2016; 
that is, they are independent in character and judgement and  
have no relationships or circumstances which are likely to affect 
their judgement, or could appear to affect it. These six are: Mike 
Arnold, Zoe Cruz, Alan Gillespie, Danuta Gray, Adiba Ighodaro  
and Roger Marshall. 

As previously noted, Vassi Naidoo is not considered independent 
because he is chairman of Nedbank Group Limited, and 
circumstances may arise where he has to balance the fiduciary 
duties owed to both parent and subsidiary having regard to minority 
interests in the latter.  

Trevor Manuel is the Chairman of OMGH, the holding company 
of both OMEM and Nedbank Group Limited, and will become the 
Chairman of Old Mutual Limited (OML) on its listing. In light of the 
enhanced role that OMGH is expected to play as the South African 
Twin Peaks regulation comes into effect, Trevor Manuel was not 
categorised as an independent non-executive director at plc level 
when he was appointed in 2016.  

What was the directors’ attendance  
record during 2017? 
The table below sets out the number of meetings held and 
individual directors’ attendance at meetings of the Board and its 
principal committees (based on membership of those committees, 
rather than attendance as an invitee) during 2017.

In addition to its interaction with the two executive directors, the  
Board interacts with senior executive management (including senior 
executives of the Group’s main businesses) through their regular 
participation in Board meetings and other briefing sessions.  

Separately from the formal Board meeting schedule, the Chairman 
meets with the non-executive directors, with no executives present,  
to provide a forum where any issues can be raised. He also conducts 
an annual one-to-one performance evaluation of each of the non-
executive directors, and any resulting action points are reported to the 
Nomination and Governance Committee. The Company also facilitates 
informal meetings among the non-executive directors, without the 
Chairman or any executive present. These meetings include the 
annual review of the Chairman’s own performance – led by the Senior 
Independent Director, who also obtains whatever input he considers 
appropriate from the executive directors. 

The assignment of responsibilities between Chairman, Patrick 
O’Sullivan, and Group Chief Executive, Bruce Hemphill, ensures 
a clear division between running the Board and executive responsibility 
for running the Company’s business, as set out below: 

Key roles and responsibilities

  Ensuring the Board’s effectiveness and setting its agenda 
  Ensuring that the directors receive accurate, timely and clear 
information, and adequate time is available for discussion

Are directors required to hold shares in the 
Company and what are their current interests? 
Under the Directors’ Remuneration Policy, the Group Chief 
Executive is required to build a holding of shares in the Company 
equal in value to at least 200% of his annual base salary within five 
years of appointment. For other executive directors the requirement 
is 150% of annual base salary within five years of appointment. 

The Board encourages, but does not require, non-executive 
directors to build holdings equal to 50% of their annual base fees 
within 12 months after appointment and to increase this over time 
to 100% of their annual base fees. The target for the Chairman was 
set at 50% of his annual base fee, to be achieved over time. 

Details of directors’ interests (including interests of their connected 
persons) in the share capital of the Company and its quoted 
subsidiary, Nedbank Group Limited, at the beginning and end 
of 2017 are set out in the table below. No director held shares 
in OMAM while it was under the Company’s control. 

The interests of the executive directors in share options and 
forfeitable shares awards are described in the section of the 
Directors’ Remuneration Report entitled ‘Directors’ shareholdings 
and share interests’. There were no changes to any of the 
Directors’ shareholdings and share interests between 
31 December 2017 and 14 March 2018.

Annual Report and Accounts 2017  

Leadership and effectiveness 
Our business relies on the commitment, talent and diversity 
of our employees. In order to understand and meet the needs 
of customers better, we strive to have an employee population 
that is representative of the markets we serve. To attract and 
retain appropriately skilled employees, managers and executives, 
we maintain effective HR practices.  

The Company has a comprehensive induction programme  
for new non-executive directors. This enables them to familiarise 
themselves with the Group’s operations, financial affairs and 
strategic position so that they can make an effective contribution as 
soon as possible after they have joined the Board. This programme 
includes sessions with each of the constituent businesses and the 
Company’s auditors and external legal advisers. 

How is the performance of the  
Board and its committees reviewed? 
Performance reviews of the Board and its standing committees are 
conducted annually and, under normal circumstances, are carried 
out by an external expert at least once every three years. Under its 
current Chairman, the Board has invested a significant amount of 
effort in understanding its effectiveness through both internally and 
externally facilitated reviews using a range of approaches.  

The feedback from the 2016 review resulted in a number of actions 
being taken during 2017. In particular, these included further 
increasing the interaction and collaboration between the Board  
and the subsidiary boards. A need was also identified for deeper 
understanding of the business capability, capacity and culture 
required to successfully execute managed separation. This led 
to the adoption of a set of plc Head Office values, re-establishing 
the standards which the constituent businesses were seeking 
to adhere to. These values were recognised to be of particular 
importance during the managed separation.

The Board effectiveness review for 2017 was conducted internally 
using an online questionnaire supplemented by one-to-one 
interviews with each Board member. The questionnaire 
sought feedback on various aspects of the Board and its 
committees, including: 

  Board governance  
  Managed separation 
  Decision-making 

A separate questionnaire was issued to gather feedback on  
the Chairman.  

The feedback was collated and reported back to the Board.  
The review concluded that: 

  The Chairman, the Board and its committees had operated 

effectively during 2017, with clarity of purpose and  
appropriate consideration given to stakeholder expectations.  
  In the final period leading up to managed separation, the Board 

should work closely with the subsidiary boards whilst retaining its 
focus on the Company’s ongoing obligations as a listed company  

In normal circumstances, under the UK Corporate Governance 
Code 2016, an externally-facilitated Board effectiveness evaluation 
would have been undertaken during the year, being the third 
anniversary of the previous external evaluation. In light of the 
managed separation, and the limited scope for making changes 
during the Company’s remaining lifespan as a listed entity, it was 
agreed that an internally-managed effectiveness evaluation be 
performed instead.  

What is the Company’s approach  
to ensuring diversity? 
Each business is required to develop an environment that 
promotes the benefits of equal opportunities and diversity. 
Recruitment, promotion, selection for training and other aspects 
of employee management are free from discrimination – including 
on grounds of gender, race, disability, age, marital status, sexual 
orientation and religious belief. For our businesses in South Africa, 
these imperatives have to be balanced against their Broad-Based 
Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) requirements. 

We recognise that difference in its broadest sense is critical to 
our success and, while focus varies by country, increasing gender 
diversity is a priority for all of our businesses. Despite a reduction  
in the size of the Board during the year, we continued to exceed 
our diversity target of at least three female members of the Board, 
with female membership ranging from 38% (five out of 13) at the 
start of the year to 42% (five out of 12) during the year, falling back 
to 36% (four out of 11) following the resignation of Nonkululeko 
Nyembezi at the year-end. Two of our six-member plc Exco are 
women. The Company continues to meet the recommendations  
of the Parker Review’s report into the ethnic diversity of UK boards. 
Notwithstanding the sale of OMAM, the gender split of key roles 
within the Group improved slightly during 2017 on account of 
senior female appointments in OMEM.  

We remain committed to improving our diversity. We continue  
to strive towards the 2018 targets that we set in 2013, as shown  
in the diagrams on the preceding page, and continue to invest 
significantly in our women’s networks and mentoring initiatives. 
While the Old Mutual plc Board has not formally adopted its own 
diversity policy, it remains committed to its earlier targets and 
commitments, notwithstanding the managed separation strategy. 
Furthermore, in respect of its UK successor business, Quilter plc, 
we are pleased that the Board has set a target of 33%, which  
is in line with the Hampton Alexander Review recommendations 
and is also considering how it can further improve its broader  
Board diversity.  

How do we ensure that Board members have 
the right knowledge to discharge their duties? 
The Board’s composition and succession plans are formally 
considered at least annually. We have developed a skills and 
industry experience matrix to help the Board assess the composition 
profiles of the Board and major subsidiary boards. The Nomination 
and Governance Committee regularly discusses talent and 
succession plans for the businesses’ Executive Committees.  

Training and induction of  
non-executive directors 
Training for Board members in 2017 covered topics such 
as Solvency II, UK remuneration trends, and briefings on the 
process for the listing of OMW and OML – delivered by external 
speakers from the Group’s auditors and other professional 
advisers. In addition, internal briefings were provided on 
political and economic developments in the various territories 
in which the Group operates, responsible business updates  
and B-BBEE programmes.

Disclosure of businesses held for sale and 
for distribution 
The presentation of the 2017 Group financial 
statements is complicated by managed 
separation. At 31 December 2017 both 
Old Mutual Wealth and Nedbank have been 
classified in the financial statements as held 
for distribution to shareholders. This reflects 
the Board’s assessment that distribution is 
considered to be highly probable within the 
following 12 months. As a result net income, 
assets and liabilities are shown as one-line 
entries in the income statement and statement 
of financial position rather than fully consolidated. 

Assumptions related to policyholder liabilities 
recognised by the Group’s insurance 
businesses 
The Group recognised insurance policyholder 
liabilities of £10,145 million at 31 December 2017 
(2016: £9,982 million). Estimation of these 
routinely involves assessment of risk exposures, 
expense allocations and business persistency. 

Loan loss provisions 
Loan loss provisioning requires the assessment 
of recoverable amounts, which requires 
judgement in the estimation of future payments. 
At 31 December 2017, the Group’s total 
advances were £44,740 million, with related 
provisions of (£891 million) (2016: 
£44,237 million and (£1,129 million)). Loans 
outstanding are principally from Nedbank. 

Implementation of new accounting standards 
IFRS 9 and IFRS 15  
The Committee also considered the proposed 
disclosure of the transitional impact of the new 
accounting standard, IFRS 9 ‘Financial 
Instruments’ and 15 ‘Revenue from contracts 
with customers’, which will be implemented 
in 2018. 

Goodwill valuations and impairments 
Goodwill and intangible assets amounted 
to £2,460 million at 31 December 2017 
(2016: £2,471 million).

 How the matter was reviewed 

 Observations of the Committee 

We considered the correct accounting with 
management and KPMG. We considered the 
remaining risks of managed separation, taking 
into account the detailed review carried out  
by the Risk Committee, and concurred with 
management’s view that there was a high 
probability of distribution occurring in 2018  
and that the businesses are available for 
immediate distribution. 

We note that accounting standards require all 
of the group’s existing interest in Nedbank be 
shown as held for distribution at 31 December 
2017, despite the intention that OML will retain 
a 19.9% interest. 

As Nedbank and Old Mutual Wealth are 
classified as held for distribution, the assets 
and liabilities are reflected as single line entries 
on the balance sheet.  

In order to facilitate the users in understanding 
year on year comparability, balances contained 
in this report include balances attributable to 
Nedbank and Old Mutual Wealth. As such, 
amounts stated will not agree directly with the 
Statement of Financial Position. 

We reviewed reports from the Group Chief 
Actuary and the external auditors. We also 
reviewed the conclusions of the subsidiary 
Audit Committees. 

Items in particular focus were the bases of 
cost allocations in OMLACSA which were 
incorporated into the principles used for 
insurance product expense assumption setting 
at 31 December 2017. 

The committee considered this area in detail, 
particularly in light of the increased stresses 
affecting credit conditions in South Africa. Local 
governance structures provide assurance on 
the adequacy of loan loss provisioning and key 
matters arising were routinely highlighted in 
reports from the subsidiary audit committees. The 
committee reviewed detailed information related 
to specific credit exposures where appropriate. 

A particular focus was the Group’s exposure 
to Steinhoff and to state-owned enterprises in 
South Africa. 

The committee was satisfied that adequate 
provisions were carried at 31 December 2017 
under current accounting standards. 

The committee reviewed analysis of the expected 
impact of each standard, and the valuation and 
disclosure proposals. The Committee also 
received analysis in support of the robustness of 
management’s estimate of the IFRS 9 and 15 
transitional impacts at 1 January 2018. 

Although IFRS 15 is not anticipated to have 
a significant impact for the Group, IFRS 9 
is particularly relevant to the Group’s lending 
businesses. 

Disclosure of the estimated transitional impact  
of IFRS 9 and 15 is provided in note A7 to the 
financial statements. 

During the year the OMEM business has revised 
the Cash Generating Units (CGUs) applied in 
the goodwill valuation models so that these align 
with the revised operating model of the business.  
During February 2018 the committee reviewed 
further impairment calculations in respect of 
OMEM based on the latest business planning 
inputs. The committee also considered the 
sensitivity of the outcomes to declining growth 
rates and increasing discount rates.  

In view of the Held for Distribution accounting 
treatment the valuation reviews of OM Wealth 
and Nedbank have compared the consolidated 
NAV with the fair value of these businesses, less 
costs to distribute. A similar specific assessment 
was required in respect of the Old Mutual Wealth 
single strategy business classified as Held for 
Sale at 31 December 2017. 

The revised CGUs applied by OMEM during 
2017 were the principal cause of a further 
impairment of R1.2bn that was recorded in 
relation to the OMEM East Africa businesses 
at 30 June 2017.  

Furthermore, as a result of the February 2018 
review a further impairment of R0.3bn was 
recorded in relation to the group’s operations 
in Latin America at 31 December 2017.  

Other than these items the analysis supported 
the committee in concluding that goodwill  
and intangible assets of OMEM are  
appropriately valued. 

No impairments have been required in relation to 
the Old Mutual Wealth or Nedbank businesses.

for example, substituting a Long-Term Investment Return for the 
actual investment returns for the year. The committee reviews 
the appropriateness of the AOP measure on an ongoing basis. 
It also reviews the Long-Term Investment Return rate annually. 
The committee seeks to validate that the adjustments made in 
determining AOP are appropriate to the objective of presenting 
a measure of the long-term profitability of the business to users 
of the financial statements and is mindful of the FRC’s expectations 
in this area. 

As noted in my 2016 report, additional adjustments have had to 
be made this year to adjust for certain one-off costs of achieving 
managed separation, and also to exclude the costs of remediating 
historic issues in Old Mutual Wealth. The committee has 
individually reviewed each of the AOP adjustments and also the 
overall effect of the adjustments on the reported AOP results. 

External Auditors 
As a result of emerging EU guidance in relation to audit tender 
requirements, during 2014, a competitive tender for the Group’s 
external audit was last carried out. Following this tender the 
decision was made to reappoint KPMG. 

During 2017, in line with Group policy, the committee has reviewed 
KPMG LLP’s effectiveness as our auditor. This review confirmed 
satisfaction with the quality of the audit. The review analysed  
critical competencies expected of our external auditor and  
included feedback from key finance personnel from Group and 
subsidiary entities and audit committee members at subsidiaries 
and Group level. 

The criticisms of KPMG South Africa’s work do not extend beyond 
South Africa and we consider that KPMG’s audit team in the UK 
has performed good quality audits of the Group. We therefore 
recommend that Old Mutual plc reappoint KPMG LLP in relation 
to the audit for the year ending 31 December 2018 at this year’s 
AGM. Following the completion of managed separation we expect 
that the Audit Committees of the South African businesses will 
continue to review KPMG’s ongoing engagement in light of the 
findings of the regulatory investigations, but also in the context of 
the new Mandatory Audit Firm Rotation rules that were introduced 
in South Africa in June 2017 to be effective from 1 April 2023. 
As part of assessing the impact of these rules, the South African 
businesses will need to consider the transitional requirements 
in relation to auditor independence. 

Non-audit services  
The Group operates within a clearly defined policy on the nature 
and amount of non-audit services that can be provided by its 
external auditor (see ‘Audit arrangements’ later in this Annual 
Report). The policy itself is formally reviewed annually. Under the 
revised policy adopted during the year, total fees for non-audit 
services are limited to a maximum of 25% of the total fees for 
external audit services unless I, as Chairman of the committee, 
specifically approve any fees in excess of this amount. The actual 
non-audit fee ratio for 2017 was 16%. 

As Chairman of the committee, I am notified of expenditure on non-
audit services monthly and for certain services I will be consulted 
for pre-approval. The committee reviews compliance with the non-
audit services policy each quarter.

The committee spent significant time discussing the implications 
of significant and widespread concerns over certain work carried 
out by KPMG in South Africa relating to audits of Gupta-related 
entities and an investigation on behalf of the South African 
Revenue Service. At the current time a regulatory investigation 
(initiated by IRBA) and an independent enquiry (initiated by the 
South African Institute of Chartered Accountants) are ongoing. 
These reviews are scrutinising KPMG’s South Africa conduct, 
and KPMG South Africa has already taken action to address 
a number of concerns.  

In light of this situation, we have held discussions with KPMG 
senior management at global, UK and South African level. These 
discussions confirmed the contingency plans available in the event 
that KPMG South Africa became unable to carry out its work on the 
Group’s South African operations in the short or medium term, or 
if it was concluded that it was inappropriate for them to continue 
in this role. This was particularly important given the reporting 
accountant work required for the public documents to be issued 
in connection with managed separation. The audit committees 
of the South African businesses held similar discussions. 

Despite our concerns about the ethical issues involved, we have 
determined it would have been impractical to change external 
auditors in 2017 – not least because of inflexible independence 
rules in both the EU and South Africa.  

The committee sought commitment from KPMG globally and in the 
UK that they would support their South African firm to ensure the 
2017 audit and reporting accountant work could be concluded.  

Furthermore, in order to ensure that the 2017 audit was delivered 
to the quality we expect of our external auditors, the committee 
requested that a senior UK KPMG partner review the quality of 
the 2017 audits of the South African businesses. In line with this 
request KPMG UK has completed engagement quality review 
procedures in respect of the OMEM and Nedbank audits and 
reported that the results of these reviews were satisfactory. 

The committee is satisfied that KPMG LLP has been engaged  
by the Group in accordance with the requirements of this policy 
during 2017. 

Internal Audit 
The committee pays close attention to Internal Audit reports and  
to the progress of management actions to address weaknesses 
identified. As managed separation proceeded during 2017,  
Internal Audit implemented a more agile approach to provide 
coverage of managed separation planning, execution and  
reporting activities. In addition to the Internal Audit plans covering 
the core business areas, the committee approved a specific 
Managed Separation Internal Audit plan. During the year Internal 
Audit also separated and strengthened its business unit audit 
teams to ensure they are ready to operate on a standalone basis 
following managed separation.  

Internal Audit has embedded recommendations of the Financial 
Services Internal Audit Code and in particular is encouraged to 
carry out work in advance of developments or in parallel with them, 
rather than intervening after the event. Internal Audit’s overall 
conclusion for 2017 was that it had not observed any unmitigated 
material issues that would indicate that the overall control 
environment in the Group was unsatisfactory.  

We operate a quality assurance process for Internal Audit using  
an external professional services firm to perform an independent 
external quality assurance review as mandated by the International 
Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing (the 
Standards) and reporting directly to the committee. This concluded 
that Internal Audit is of a high quality and generally complies with 
the Standards.  

The Group’s Internal Audit Charter was reviewed and updated 
in February 2017 and is available on the Company’s website.

metrics, included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 
31 December 2016. We understand that this request was part of an 
industry wide assessment, not specific to Old Mutual. Prior to the 
Group responding to the FRC, the Group Audit Committee 
considered the matter at the meeting in October 2017. The Group 
Finance Director responded to the FRC request on 11 October 
2017 and subsequently received a response from the FRC on

approval process, in due course.  

Alternative profit measure 
The Group makes a number of adjustments to IFRS profit to derive 
an Adjusted Operating Profit (AOP) measure. This is common 
practice among peers. Some of these adjustments eliminate 
required IFRS accounting treatments that can distort results, 
such as recognising gains or losses on own debt instruments or 
recognising certain costs of financing in equity. Other adjustments 
seek to adjust the IFRS result in order to arrive at an outcome 
that the Board feels is more reflective of underlying profit by,

Report from the Board Risk Committee 

Areas of focus 
During our meetings and workshops in 2017, we focused on: 

Mike Arnold  
Mike Arnold 
Chairman of the Board Risk Committee
Chairman of the Board Risk Committee 

The Board is responsible for maintaining sound risk management 
and internal control systems. In order to meet that objective, it has 
mandated the Board Risk Committee (the committee) to reinforce 
a strong risk culture by ensuring that the Group fulfils its strategic 
objectives within the stated risk framework, that poor practice in risk 
management is challenged, and that sustained improvements in 
risk management are made. During 2017, the committee continued 
to meet that objective by overseeing, reviewing and monitoring 
the management of risk during the managed separation process, 
in addition to the ongoing oversight of risk management and 
governance processes within the Group’s constituent businesses.  

The committee met formally six times during the year. Parts of four 
of the scheduled meetings were held jointly with the Group Audit 
Committee. The Chief Risk Officer, Group Chief Actuary and Group 
Internal Audit Director attended all the meetings. The external 
auditor was invited to attend all the meetings. As well as these six 
meetings, the committee held a workshop session to look more 
deeply at the risks of the managed separation, in particular the non-
financial execution risks. 

The committee received a report from the Group Chief Risk Officer 
on risk and regulatory matters at each of its scheduled meetings 
during 2017, in which changes to the Group’s risk profile were 
identified and discussed.

  The risks of all aspects of the managed separation, including: 
  the risks of the strategy itself and the risks to executing it 
  the effective governance and management of the Company’s 
risks and regulatory responsibilities as the Company’s Head 
Office winds down its activities 

  risk appetite and liquidity impacts, both in general and at 

different points during execution of the managed separation 
  The size and composition of the balance sheets of the entities 

to be listed as a result of the managed separation 

  The Group’s Own Risk and Solvency Assessment (ORSA), 
under which the Group identifies and assesses its risks and 
determines the resources necessary to ensure that its solvency 
needs are met and are sufficient to achieve its business strategy 

  Assessments of the Group’s capital and solvency position, 

including the impact of the external macroeconomic environment 
and of market volatility 

  Strategic projects proposed by the Group, including significant  
IT projects and the tender offers for the Company’s Tier 1 and 
Tier 2 bonds 

I received updates between the scheduled meetings through my 
regular meetings with the Group Chief Risk Officer and Group 
Chief Actuary. The committee also held a private meeting with 
the Group Chief Risk Officer. 

In connection with the finalisation of the Group’s annual results, the 
committee reviewed and approved the Chief Risk Officer’s report 
for the Remuneration Committee in order to assist that committee 
in its deliberations. 

The committee also undertook a review of its performance against 
its terms of reference. It complied with the vast majority of these, 
and put plans in place to ensure that the remaining items could 
be addressed. 

During 2017 either Roger Marshall or I personally attended 
meetings of the Risk and Audit Committees of the major 
subsidiaries of the Group. We have ongoing dialogue with the 
independent non-executive directors of those subsidiaries who 
chair their committees.  

Plans for 2018 
In 2018, the committee will be closely involved in overseeing the 
execution of the final stages of the Company’s managed separation 
strategy, as well as maintaining continued oversight over the key 
risks of the Group’s businesses. The committee will be placing 
increased reliance on the risk and assurance work undertaken 
by the businesses themselves as they prepare to be standalone 
businesses and will be reviewing the concentration risk between 
OML and OMW.

We maintained an active dialogue with shareholders through our 
planned IR activities and also through responding to their queries. 
In addition, in 2017 we considered the IR needs of the separating 
businesses. We began targeting specific institutional shareholders 
relevant to each business and monitored the businesses’ progress 
in engaging with their future investor bases. As existing listed 
entities, OMAM and Nedbank already had their own IR teams in 
place; during 2017 the Finance Directors of OMEM and OMW 
established IR teams supported by the plc IR team to develop 
and run their own IR within the centrally coordinated programme.  

Where did we meet with investors  
and research analysts in 2017  
and how will this change in 2018? 
During 2017, we conducted investor meetings in the UK,  
South Africa and North America, involving the executives  
and/or senior management from the plc, OMEM, Nedbank,  
OMAM and OMW teams. All four businesses continued to build 
their own relationships with shareholders, potential investors and 
sell-side analysts.  

The most significant outputs of this co-ordinated activity were two 
capital markets events in November 2017: in Johannesburg for our 
South African-managed businesses, OMEM and Nedbank, and in 
London for UK-based OMW. These were attended in person by 
some 70 and 85 market participants respectively, with many more 
watching the webcast. Both events provided a strategic overview of 
the businesses, financial highlights and detailed expositions of the 
underlying operating divisions. There were extensive opportunities 
for attendees to interact with the management teams. 

The events received positive feedback and are summarised below: 

OMEM and Nedbank Showcase 1 November 2017 
  Welcome and introduction – Bruce Hemphill,  

Group Chief Executive, Old Mutual plc 

  Update on managed separation – Rob Leith,  

Director of Managed Separation, Old Mutual plc 

  CEO overview and introduction to the business reviews –  

Peter Moyo, CEO Designate OML 

  Nedbank overview – Mike Brown & Raisibe Morathi, 

Chief Executive & CFO Nedbank 

  Presentation by each of the OMEM business units CEOs 
  Financial highlights – Iain Williamson, COO OMEM 
  Risk and capital – Richard Treagus, CRO OMEM 

OMW Showcase 15 November 2017 
  Welcome and introduction – Bruce Hemphill,  

Group Chief Executive, Old Mutual plc 

  Strategic Overview – Paul Feeney, CEO OMW 
  Advice – Andy Thompson, CEO Advice 
  OMW Investors – Paul Simpson, CEO OMW Investors 
  Quilter Cheviot – Martin Baines, CEO Quilter Cheviot 
  UK Platform & Heritage – Steven Levin, CEO UK  

Platform & Heritage  

  International – Peter Kenny, MD International 
  Financials – Tim Tookey, CFO OMW 

Extensive and tailored international roadshows took place after 
these events. Centralised feedback was then considered as part  
of the ongoing strategic planning for the managed separation. 
Copies of all materials are available on the Group’s website.  

We anticipate similar capital 
markets events during 2018 as part 
of the wider investor marketing of 
the managed separation process. 

The Group Finance Director continued one-to-one meetings with 
sell-side analysts in the UK and South Africa. Currently 12 sell-side 
analysts actively publish research on the Company. We encourage 
sell-side analysts to cover the Company, giving investors their 
opinions on the Group’s valuation, performance and the business 
environment in which it operates, and also to make meaningful 
comparisons with our peers.  

MiFID II came into force from January 2018 and we expect this to 
further increase direct engagement with the investor bases that  
we already have. It is widely expected that the number of covering 
sell-side analysts will decrease in the future. However, given the 
managed separation, we expect the standalone businesses to 
develop different and, in aggregate, larger sell-side research 
coverage over time. The IR teams will take increasing responsibility 
for the management of research relationships and interactions with 
our shareholders as well as the management of the prospective 
new shareholder bases.  

Copies of all investor presentations and, where appropriate, 
transcripts are posted on the Company’s website so that they are 
accessible to shareholders.  

We anticipate similar capital markets events during 2018 as part of 
the wider investor marketing of the managed separation process. 

Number of investor events during 2017 
(excluding sell-side and governance meetings) 
  244 events in total 
  214 with management (30 IR only) 
  188 institutions 

How did we manage corporate governance 
relationships with investors in 2017  
and how will this change in 2018? 
The Chairman makes contact with our major shareholders and 
meets them as required. The Senior Independent Director is also 
available to shareholders.  

During 2017, we maintained extensive governance dialogue with 
investors and their advisers as part of the execution of managed 
separation. Matters raised in these governance-focused meetings 
during 2017 and early 2018 included the Company’s strategy, 
regulatory developments, remuneration, succession planning, 
diversity and transformation. The IR team updates the Board on 
issues arising from communication with the investment community.  

In 2018, we expect the Chairmen and non-executives of individual 
businesses to participate in governance meetings as part of their 
own preparation processes for managed separation.

Dividends in currencies other than sterling will be paid in local 
currency on the basis of the average effective exchange rate after 
taking into account hedging activities and timing of remittances for 
the relevant period. Accordingly, shareholders in South Africa and 
Namibia will receive the full-year effective hedge rate achieved 
by the Company on rand forward sales undertaken in respect of 
rand flows supporting the 2017 interim dividends. Dividends to 
shareholders in Zimbabwe, Malawi and Sweden will be converted 
into local currency at the daily weighted average exchange rate 
for the six-month period from 1 July to 31 December 2017. 

Further information on the second interim dividend for 2017 
(including the currency equivalents) is given in the Shareholder 
Information section at the back of this Annual Report.  

The capital management policy is intended to remain in place until 
the shares of Old Mutual plc are de-listed. The proposed future

and Quilter businesses are presented in their respective Business 
Review sections on pages 36 and 57.

Why is the Company paying a second interim 
dividend instead of a final dividend? 
As with 2016, the final dividend for 2017 has been declared as  
a second interim dividend, which does not require shareholder 
approval at the AGM. Consequently, the second interim dividend 
is revocable by the Board until paid. This means that the Company 
is able to pay the dividend at the end of April. This also means that, 
under Solvency II rules, the Company’s ordinary shares continue 
to qualify as eligible regulatory capital.

What other factors are relevant in  
determining dividend payments? 
In addition to giving specific consideration to the Company’s 
dividend policy, all dividend declarations are assessed by the 
Board in the context of their impact on the viability of the Company, 
as described elsewhere in this report.  

Dividend declarations must also take account of the distributable 
reserves of the holding company, Old Mutual plc, which were 
£2,966 million at 31 December 2017. 

The Group capital management policy also takes account of 
provisions in the OMLAC(SA) demutualisation agreement which 
restrict the application of South African dividend remittances to  
the payment of Company dividends. 

What dividends were waived during 2017? 
During 2017, trustees of the Company’s, Quilter Cheviot’s and  
the Company’s South African subsidiary’s employee benefit trusts 
waived dividends on certain shares in the Company held by them 
relating to awards where the scheme participants were not entitled 
to receive dividends pending vesting. The total number of shares 
concerned was 32,015,773 for the second interim dividend for 2016 
and 30,260,023 for the first interim dividend for 2017.

 Old Mutual plc 
Annual Report and Accounts 2017  

The Group’s actions to review the effectiveness of the system  
of internal control include: 

  An annual review of the risk assessment procedures,  
control environment considerations, information and 
communication and monitoring procedures at Group level and 
within each business. This review covers all material controls 
including financial, operational and compliance controls and  
risk management systems 

  A certification process, under which all businesses are required  

to confirm that they have undertaken risk management in 
accordance with the Group risk framework, that they have 
reviewed the effectiveness of the system of internal controls, that 
internal policies have been complied with, and that no significant 
risks or issues are known which have not been reported in 
accordance with policy 

  Regular reviews of the effectiveness of the system of internal 
control by the Group Audit Committee, which receives reports 
from the Group Internal Audit function. The committee also 
receives reports from the external auditor, which include details  
of significant internal control matters that have been identified 
during the course of its work. 

These activities supplement the regular risk management activities 
which are performed on an ongoing basis. 

The certification process described above does not apply to some 
joint ventures where the Group does not exercise full management 
control. In these cases, the Company monitors the internal control 
environment and the potential impact on the Group through 
representation on the board of the entity concerned. 

The Board reviewed the effectiveness of the system of internal 
control during and at the end of the year. Our annual internal 
control assessment has not highlighted any material failings. 
We remain committed to having a robust internal control 
environment across the Group. 

The Board confirms that, in accordance with the processes 
described above and in the Risks section of this Annual Report, 
it has, in conjunction with the Board Risk Committee, carried out 
a robust assessment of the principal risks facing the Company, 
including those that would threaten its business model, future 
performance, solvency or liquidity. The relevant risks and the 
manner in which they are being managed or mitigated are 
explained in more detail in the Risks section of this Annual Report. 

What is the role of Group Internal Audit? 
The purpose of Group Internal Audit (GIA) is to help the Board  
and executive management to protect the assets, reputation  
and sustainability of the Group. GIA does this by assessing 
whether all significant risks are identified and appropriately  
reported by management and the Risk function to the Board  
and executive management; assessing whether they are 
adequately controlled; and challenging executive management  
to improve the effectiveness of governance, risk management  
and internal controls. 

GIA’s work is focused on the areas of greatest risk to the Group, 
both current and emerging, as determined by a comprehensive 
risk-based planning process. The Group Audit Committee 
approves the annual Internal Audit plan and any subsequent 
material amendments to it and also satisfies itself that GIA has 
adequate resources to discharge its function. The Board is able 
to confirm that this was the case for 2017. 

There are Internal Audit teams in each of our major businesses. 
The heads of Internal Audit in the Group’s wholly-owned 
subsidiaries report directly to the Group Internal Audit Director 
(GIAD). Heads of audit in majority-owned subsidiaries have a dual 
reporting line to the GIAD. 

During 2017, the GIAD reported functionally to the Chairman of the 
Group Audit Committee and administratively to the Group Chief 
Executive. The GIAD attends all meetings of the Group Audit 
Committee, and has unrestricted access to the Group Chief 
Executive and the Chairman of the Board, as well as open 
invitations to attend any meetings of the subsidiary audit 
committees, the Board Risk Committee and the plc Exco. 

Internal Audit teams across the Group’s businesses use a single 
audit methodology which meets the international standards set by 
the Institute of Internal Auditors. Issues raised by Internal Audit in 
the course of its work are discussed with management, who are 
responsible for implementing agreed actions to address them 
within an appropriate and agreed timeframe. 

The GIAD submits formal reports to each meeting of the Group 
Audit Committee, summarising the results of Internal Audit  
activity, management’s progress in addressing issues and  
other significant matters. 

As reported last year, an external quality assurance process is  
now in place for internal audit.

Old Mutual plc  Annual Report and Accounts 2017 
 
 
 
 
 
 Old Mutual plc 
Annual Report and Accounts 2017  

As the ongoing viability of the Group and its constituent businesses 
is additionally subject to certain factors beyond the control of its 
directors and the directors of the future parent companies of those 
businesses – such as future macro-environmental conditions and 
the political situation of the countries in which it operates. Further 
analysis has therefore been performed to ensure that, barring 
unforeseen circumstances, these do not pose a material threat to 
the viability of the Group or its businesses. As a consequence, the 
base case business plan and related managed separation 
scenarios have been subject to stress testing and risk assessment. 
The principal risks considered in these scenarios are consistent 
with those set out elsewhere in this Annual Report. In addition to 
the more severe stress tests and scenarios, management and the 
Board also consider milder downside sensitivities as part of routine 
Board reports. The Group and Company also maintain contingency 
plans and resources to deal with potential adverse developments, 
which have been reviewed by the Board, and equivalent plans and 
resources have been reviewed by the boards of the future parent 
companies of those businesses. 

We remain focused on our purpose 
to help our customers thrive by 
enabling them to achieve their 
lifetime financial goals.  

Has all relevant information been  
disclosed to the auditor? 
The directors who held office at the date of approval of this Annual 
Report confirm that, so far as they are each aware, there is no 
relevant audit information of which the Company’s auditor is 
unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he or she 
ought to have taken as a director to make himself or herself aware 
of any relevant audit information and to establish that the 
Company’s auditor was aware of that information. 

Other Directors’ Report matters 
As an international business active in many countries, the Group 
operates through subsidiaries, branches, joint ventures and 
associated companies established in, and subject to the laws  
and regulations of, many different jurisdictions. 

Does the Company have any significant 
agreements involving change of control? 
The following significant agreement to which the Company is a 
party contains provisions entitling counterparties to exercise 
termination or other rights in the event of a change of control of  
the Company: 

  £800 million Revolving Credit Facility dated 22 August 2014,  
as amended, between the Company, various syndicate banks 
(the Banks) and Bank of America Merrill Lynch International 
Limited as agent (the Agent). If a person or group of persons 
acting in concert gains control of the Company, the Company 
must notify the Agent. The Agent and the Company will negotiate 
with a view to agreeing terms and conditions acceptable to the 
Company and all of the Banks for continuing the facility. If such 
negotiations fail within 30 days of the original notification to the 
Agent by the Company, the Banks become entitled to declare  
any outstanding indebtedness repayable by giving notice to the 
Agent within 15 days of the 30-day period mentioned above.  
On receiving notice for payment from the Agent, the Company 
shall pay the outstanding sums within three business days to the 
relevant Bank(s). 

What is our approach to being 
a responsible business? 
In 2015 we set out our commitment to being a responsible 
business through our Positive Futures Plan. As we look towards 
our managed separation we remain focused on our purpose of 
helping our customers thrive by enabling them to achieve their 
lifetime financial goals, while investing their funds in ways which 
create a positive future for them, their families, their communities 
and the world at large.  

Responsible business practices remain core components of  
how we operate as a business and of the Company’s risk 
management strategy. We maintain a network of people who 
manage and monitor our responsible business approach.  
Each business has named a senior executive with overall 
responsibility for these issues.  

After our adoption of the managed separation strategy, the role 
played by the Company in developing the responsible business 
vision was transferred to the businesses. Each of them is 
developing its own approach, guided by our Positive Futures  
Plan. The Company’s Head of Responsible Business uses the 
Communications, Brand and Stakeholder Forum to ensure that  
we meet our commitment to remaining a responsible business 
throughout the managed separation and to support the businesses 
in developing their responsible business practices as they prepare 
to stand alone as independent businesses.

Annual Report and Accounts 2017  

How do we manage social  
and employee matters? 
All our businesses uphold the principle of freedom of association, 
and recognise the right to collective bargaining where permitted by 
local law. Old Mutual does not, under any circumstances, tolerate 
forced labour or child labour and we work with our supply chain and 
investment teams to uphold this position. We remain committed to 
increasing diversity throughout our businesses and have set targets 
to promote this. With over 65,000 employees, we see the different 
backgrounds, perspectives and experiences of our employees as 
one of our greatest assets. Our people policies at both plc and 
business level ensure that no employee receives less favourable 
treatment based on any factor unrelated to the requirements of 
their position. In South Africa we further address our commitment  
to employment equality through our approach to Broad-Based 
Black Economic Empowerment. To find out more please see the 
Nedbank and OMEM business reviews on pages 38 to 47 and 
26 to 37 respectively, and their separate websites. 

We have a Human Resource Risk Management Policy governing 
labour standards for all employees in the plc and all our 
businesses. This covers a range of areas including employee 
relations and employment, diversity, recruitment, remuneration, 
performance management and employee welfare. Twice a year, 
the CEOs of all our businesses are required to sign a Letter of 
Representation to confirm that both they and their employees have 
complied with the policy over the previous year and give details if 
any compliance issues have arisen. Regular internal audit checks 
covering this and other Group policies support this process.  

To ensure our suppliers reflect the values we see as important  
in relation to labour standards, we have strengthened our 
Responsible Business Policy to include a section on responsible 
procurement. As part of managed separation we are working with 
the businesses to ensure they are embedding the aims of the 
policy and contacting key suppliers regularly. In the UK we provide 
ongoing employee training to ensure that everyone responsible  
for procurement understands the relevant requirements and our 
expectations – our focus for 2017 was the UK Modern Slavery  
Act 2015 (MSA). 

As an active and committed member of the communities in which 
we operate, we invested £20 million in local projects in 2017 (2016: 
£15 million). £9.8 million was invested in education initiatives in 
2017 (2016: £7.4 million). Recognising our role as part of a healthy 
society, our responsible business policy requires our businesses to 
be active in their local areas, supporting matters that have a 
material impact on their business and the communities around 
them. 

What is our commitment to human rights? 
Our commitment to respect human rights and comply with the 
Universal Declaration of Human Rights is embedded in our Code  
of Conduct and employment practices. This commitment has not 
changed as a result of managed separation and we are working  
to transfer to the businesses our understanding of the risks and 
responsibilities relating to human rights. As part of the transition,  
we are building local-level engagement and collaboration with a 
range of stakeholders, including those in our supply and investment 
chains, to support the process. 

Each business embeds its response to our Positive Futures Plan 
into its business strategy, and responsible investment remains a 
priority for all of them. We continue to build on our understanding 
and approach to identifying and managing the human rights risks 
associated with our investments. We also assess new investments 
for their impact on respecting and protecting human rights and for 
potential human rights abuses. 

Each business continues to identify areas where it can mitigate  
risk and take steps to ensure it does not cause or contribute to any 
negative human rights impacts. This work will continue during the 
managed separation and forms part of our responsible business 
transition plans. In particular, each business takes account of 
human rights risks as it puts in place appropriate risk management 
and responsible business governance structures at local level. 

In addition to our ongoing global approach we are also required to 
comply with country-specific legislation, such as MSA legislation 
which sets out measures on how modern slavery and human 
trafficking is dealt with in the UK. In light of managed separation, 
this work has focused on Old Mutual Wealth; our MSA statement  
is available to download from the Company’s website.  

Our Code of Conduct emphasises the Group’s human rights stance 
and is supported by our Human Rights statement. Twice a year, 
CEOs from all our businesses are required to sign a Letter of 
Representation to confirm that both they and their employees have 
complied with the Code over the previous year and give details if 
any compliance issues have arisen. Regular internal audit checks 
covering this and other Group policies support this process.  

How do we manage anti-corruption  
and anti-bribery? 
Old Mutual’s Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy and its Code of 
Conduct strongly emphasise zero tolerance for bribery and corrupt 
business practices. We are fully committed to ethical and compliant 
business conduct across all the countries in which we operate. 

Our policy requires that each business demonstrates:  

  A strong ethical tone from top management 
  A thorough bribery risk assessment as the basis for  

risk-focused controls  

  Due diligence on third parties corresponding with the risk posed 
by the third party or the nature of the business relationship  

  Employee training and counterparty awareness  
  Ongoing compliance monitoring 

Anti-bribery and corruption compliance is overseen by a  
suitably experienced expert in each of our businesses. Issues  
are reported to the plc Exco and Board Risk and Group Audit 
Committees. The Board Risk Committee also receives an annual 
compliance assessment as part of the group-wide Financial Crime 
Prevention Report. 

Each business has established anonymous whistleblowing 
arrangements facilitating the reporting of suspicions of corrupt 
behaviour supported by strong investigative capability and rigorous 
disciplinary processes/sanctions. No significant issues were 
reported through these arrangements during 2017.

Annual Report and Accounts 2017  

Directors’ Remuneration Report 
continued 

A new holding company, Old Mutual Limited (OML) has been created in South Africa, which will be the listed entity with the operating 
company, Old Mutual Emerging Markets (OMEM), and Old Mutual plc within its structure. For the purpose of this report, we refer to 
OMEM for items linked to business performance, but also refer to OML in respect of the strategic execution. Old Mutual Wealth (OMW)  
is rebranding to Quilter plc. For simplicity of reporting, we will only refer to OMW in this report.  

Three-year perspective 2015 to 2017 
The Group delivered returns for shareholders of 19.2% on the  
LSE and 21.3% on the JSE ALSI over the past three years (using  
a three-month average at the beginning and end of the period). 
Although this return was behind the indices over the period, 
performance since the beginning of 2018 has closed the gap.  
EPS grew at a double-digit compound rate over three years on  
a sterling basis, while RoE was above target over the period. 

These performance indicators are the principal financial measures 
that the committee considers in the incentive plans for executives, 
and the results are reflected in the incentive outcomes measured 
against performance periods ending 31 December 2017. The 
committee was mindful of shareholder feedback and the voting 
result for the 2016 Directors’ Remuneration Report in considering 
the performance delivered and corresponding outcome of the plans 
at the end of 2017. The committee assessed performance relative 
to targets and to key macro-economic factors and was satisfied  
that the outcomes were appropriate for the performance delivered. 
This is consistent with our commitment to align executive 
remuneration to company performance and shareholder interests. 

Short-Term Incentive – outcome 
In 2017, the Short-Term Incentive (STI) had two components –  
a financial component and a personal performance component. 
The committee has approved an outcome of 100% for both  
the financial component of the STI, reflecting the very strong 
performance delivered in 2017 in respect of AOP EPS and  
RoE, and the personal element, based on an assessment of  
the performance of each director against a personal scorecard.  
A summary of key achievements for each of the executive  
directors in 2017 is given later in this report. 

Annual Statement  
On behalf of the Remuneration Committee, I am pleased to  
present our Directors’ Remuneration Report for 2017. 

During 2017, the Group met a number of significant objectives  
that were required to enable it to materially complete managed 
separation by the end of 2018. These included:  

  Completion of the sale of OM Asset Management in November 

2017, realising good value for its holding  

  A significant reduction in holding company debt by a further  

£821 million 

  The strengthening of the boards and management teams, and 
the formulation of competitive strategies and strong balance 
sheets for OML and OMW, in preparation for them becoming 
successful standalone businesses  

  Approval from the Competition Tribunal in South Africa for  
OML to acquire Old Mutual plc (received in January 2018) 

  The agreed sale of the OMW UK Single Strategy Asset 
Management business, for an estimated consideration  
of c.£600 million 

There is no doubt that we are at a pivotal point in our strategy,  
with the listing of OML and the demerger and listing of OMW the 
critical steps toward the completion of managed separation.  

Review of performance in 2017 
The Group’s operating performance was ahead of expectations, 
with a very strong H2, achieving pre-tax adjusted operating profit 
(AOP) of £2.0 billion in 2017, up 22% on 2016 on a reported basis 
and 7% on a constant currency basis. AOP EPS of 24.3p was up 
25% on a reported basis and 10% on a constant currency basis, 
well ahead of nominal GDP over the period in our major markets. 
This is a key macro-economic indicator when considering the 
effectiveness of the performance delivered. Adjusted RoE of 14.6% 
was up 130 basis points on 2016. Our strong businesses delivered 
resilient operational performance alongside significant progress 
towards managed separation, all in the context of challenging 
macro-economic conditions continuing in South Africa through 
2017. Although markets were strong in the UK, weak currency, 
uncertainty around Brexit, and regulatory developments in financial 
services continued to have an impact. 

Long-Term Incentive – outcome 

Awards under the legacy Long-Term Incentive (LTI) plan, originally 

granted in 2015 (inclusive of the recruitment award granted to 

Bruce Hemphill), will vest at 66.92% of maximum, reflecting 

achievement against a scorecard of financial and strategic metrics 

and a TSR adjustor, all measured up to 31 December 2017. Strong 

financial outcomes and strategic delivery was offset to some extent 

by a negative TSR adjustor on the plan outcome. As noted earlier 

in this statement, the Company’s share price and TSR has 

improved considerably during the first quarter of 2018, and the TSR 

adjustment would have been positive if measured at the date of 

finalisation of this report. However, as this occurred after the end of 

the performance period it was not reflected in the outcome of the 

plan. A full assessment of achievement against these metrics is 

given later in this report.  

Managed separation and the application of the 

Directors’ Remuneration Policy in 2018 

The policy approved by shareholders on 28 June 2016 aligned 

the interests of key executives with the execution of the managed 

separation, and the value it will bring to shareholders. The 

Managed Separation Incentive Plan (MSIP) has played a key role 

in ensuring that the executive directors and wider management 

team execute the strategy while unlocking shareholder value. 

The outcome of the MSIP will be determined through a balanced 

assessment of performance across three criteria: 

  Successful execution of the managed separation strategy 

balancing time, cost, risk, and value 

  Continued strong performance of the constituent businesses 

during the period to separation 

  Unlocking long-term shareholder value through simplification 

and disaggregation of the Group 

These criteria form the three measurement categories of the MSIP: 

(i) Execution of the managed separation (40%) 

(ii) Performance of the underlying businesses (25%) 

(iii) Relative total shareholder return (TSR) (35%). 

When the Company announced the managed separation strategy, 

the nature, sequencing, and timing of the steps involved were not 

precisely defined. The policy and rules of the MSIP were therefore 

designed to give the committee a reasonable degree of flexibility to 

implement both in an appropriate manner to reflect the completion 

of the strategy. During 2017, the committee undertook an extensive 

review to determine when and how to assess the three 

measurement categories to reflect accurately the original intent of 

the MSIP. The committee took external legal advice to ensure that 

any approaches considered were consistent with the policy and 

rules of the MSIP, as approved by the Company’s shareholders.

The committee has concluded that the listing of OML and the 

demerger and listing of OMW will constitute the material completion 

of managed separation (material completion being the point at 

which the committee stated it would determine performance 

outcomes and vest the MSIP awards). This is because it 

represents the critical point at which the strategy will be materially 

complete, and oversight from plc executives over the constituent 

businesses will effectively end. As a result, the committee intends 

to assess the execution of the managed separation (40% of the 

award) shortly before the listing of OML and the demerger and 

listing of OMW (this being contingent on the necessary approvals 

subsequently being received with a legal obligation on OML to 

proceed with the unbundling of Nedbank), and will assess the 

performance of the underlying businesses (25% of the award) 

shortly after the listing of OML and the demerger and listing 

of OMW.  

The intention is for both of those elements of the MSIP to vest 

following the listing of OML and the demerger and listing of OMW, 

with a one-year holding period applied to 50% of the net value of 

the award that vests. In respect of the measurement category 

relating to TSR (the remaining 35% of the award), the committee 

is mindful that the way the execution of managed separation has 

evolved means that the constituent businesses will be listed. The 

committee has determined that the TSR from the independently-

listed businesses should therefore continue to be measured until 

the end of the holding period applicable to the elements of the 

MSIP that will vest following the listing of OML and the demerger 

and listing of OMW. This is consistent with the commitment to 

maintain shareholder alignment for a period beyond completion 

and ensure the outcome reflects the shareholder value created 

through separating the constituent businesses, which will take time. 

2018 Short-Term Incentive awards  

As managed separation is expected to be materially completed in 

2018, the committee has concluded that an alternative structure  

for the STI scorecard to that used in previous years is appropriate.  

In 2017, the scorecard was weighted 75% financial measures and 

25% non-financial measures. In 2018, the committee has 

determined that the scorecard up to the listing of OML and the 

demerger and listing of OMW will be weighted 50% financial 

measures and 50% non-financial measures. The financial 

measures will be a combination of cost management of the plc 

Head Office in London, and the performance of the businesses. 

Non-financial measures will focus on the executives’ continued 

oversight of the businesses in the management of risk and 

execution of the strategies.  

After the listing of OML and the demerger and listing of OMW, the 

committee believes performance relative to non-financial measures 

only is appropriate, as Old Mutual plc executive oversight of the 

businesses will effectively end. The non-financial measures will 

focus on the principal remaining steps for managed separation, 

including the complete wind-down plan for the plc Head Office  

in London, the management of Company debt, and the  

anticipated unbundling of Nedbank. Further detail is given in  

the ‘Implementation of policy in 2018’ section of this report.

Managed separation and the application of the 
Directors’ Remuneration Policy in 2018 
The policy approved by shareholders on 28 June 2016 aligned 
the interests of key executives with the execution of the managed 
separation, and the value it will bring to shareholders. The 
Managed Separation Incentive Plan (MSIP) has played a key role

The committee has concluded that the listing of OML and the 
demerger and listing of OMW will constitute the material completion 
of managed separation (material completion being the point at 
which the committee stated it would determine performance 
outcomes and vest the MSIP awards). This is because it 
represents the critical point at which the strategy will be materially 
complete, and oversight from plc executives over the constituent 
businesses will effectively end. As a result, the committee intends 
to assess the execution of the managed separation (40% of the

performance of the underlying businesses (25% of the award) 
shortly after the listing of OML and the demerger and listing 
of OMW.  

The intention is for both of those elements of the MSIP to vest 
following the listing of OML and the demerger and listing of OMW, 
with a one-year holding period applied to 50% of the net value of 
the award that vests. In respect of the measurement category 
relating to TSR (the remaining 35% of the award), the committee

and listing of OMW. This is consistent with the commitment to 
maintain shareholder alignment for a period beyond completion 
and ensure the outcome reflects the shareholder value created 
through separating the constituent businesses, which will take time. 

2018 Short-Term Incentive awards  
As managed separation is expected to be materially completed in 
2018, the committee has concluded that an alternative structure  
for the STI scorecard to that used in previous years is appropriate.  

In 2017, the scorecard was weighted 75% financial measures and 
25% non-financial measures. In 2018, the committee has 
determined that the scorecard up to the listing of OML and the 
demerger and listing of OMW will be weighted 50% financial 
measures and 50% non-financial measures. The financial 
measures will be a combination of cost management of the plc 
Head Office in London, and the performance of the businesses. 
Non-financial measures will focus on the executives’ continued 
oversight of the businesses in the management of risk and 
execution of the strategies.  

After the listing of OML and the demerger and listing of OMW, the 
committee believes performance relative to non-financial measures 
only is appropriate, as Old Mutual plc executive oversight of the 
businesses will effectively end. The non-financial measures will 
focus on the principal remaining steps for managed separation, 
including the complete wind-down plan for the plc Head Office

continued 

Remuneration governance after listing  
Shortly after the listing of OML, the committee in its current form 
will cease to exist. In order to ensure appropriate oversight of the 
continued delivery of the MSIP and other elements of remuneration, 
a new Committee of the Board will be established, made up of 
myself, Roger Marshall and Mike Arnold, from the current Old 
Mutual plc board, along with other nominations from the OML 
board. This committee will be responsible for ensuring that the 
delivery of the MSIP and other remuneration-related matters 
continue to be appropriately aligned to the achievement of the 
executives at the plc Head Office in London. 

Summary  
Once again, I would like to thank shareholders for their continued 
support during a time that has presented both the Group and the 
committee with unique challenges. The committee will continue to 
assess the Group’s performance and progress towards managed 
separation, aligning executives to the key financial and strategic 
deliverables and shareholder experience, as well as ensuring that 
it exercises the discretion afforded to it in the policy and the rules 
of the plans in a responsible and transparent manner.  

Danuta Gray 
Chairman of the  
Remuneration Committee 

Other incentive awards  
As the committee has concluded that managed separation will be 
deemed to be materially complete at the listing of OML and the 
demerger and listing of OMW (this being contingent on the 
necessary approvals subsequently being received with a legal 
obligation on OML to proceed with the unbundling of Nedbank), all 
unvested deferred STI and LTI awards will vest on or shortly after 
the listing of OML, in accordance with the rules of the plans and  
the policy. Executives will continue to have significant alignment  
to shareholders, business performance, and risk management 
events. This is achieved through the continued vesting and holding 
period of a substantial proportion of the MSIP awards and the 
Company’s ability to apply claw back to vested awards in the event 
of a significant risk issue.  

Continued focus on executive pay  
Although the Group’s focus on managed separation and the 
resulting limited tenure of the executives means that it is difficult 
to react to any of the major changes in opinion with respect to the 
structure of executive pay, the committee has continued to monitor 
shareholder concerns and the wider governance and regulatory 
landscape. In particular, the committee has spent a substantial 
amount of time in 2017 ensuring that the MSIP reflects 
shareholders’ views, and continues to drive alignment between 
shareholders and executives.  

In reaching the decisions set out above, the committee has 
carefully considered the remuneration requirements of Solvency II, 
including the requirement to defer a material proportion of variable 
pay over three years, and to ensure that executives are aligned to 
the risks inherent in executing the strategy throughout the period 
over which managed separation is expected to be completed, and 
for a suitable period of time beyond. The committee is satisfied that 
the executives will be appropriately aligned through the continued 
vesting and holding period applicable to the MSIP and the claw 
back provisions that apply to all incentive plans.

Implementation of policy in 2018 − Summary 
The committee has concluded that the listing of OML and the demerger and listing of OMW constitute the material completion of managed 
separation. In this context, we set out below a summary of how we will implement each policy element in 2018. Further detail can be found 
in the ‘Implementation of policy in 2018’ section of this report.

  Subject to malus and claw back 
  The metrics relating to the Execution of the managed separation (40% of the award) will be assessed shortly before 
the listing of OML and the demerger and listing of OMW. The metrics relating to Performance of the underlying 
businesses (25% of the award) will be assessed shortly after the listing of OML and the demerger and listing of OMW. 
50% of the net value of the vested award will be subject to a one-year post-vesting holding period. Claw back applies 
during this period to the full value of vested shares 

  TSR will be measured until the end of the holding period applicable to the elements of the MSIP that will vest following 

the listing of OML and the demerger and listing of OMW. There will therefore be no post-vesting holding period 
applied to this part of the MSIP award  

  As the Old Mutual plc shares will not be tradeable after the listing of OML, the nil cost share options will be rolled-over 

into OML and OMW shares in the same proportions as will be received by shareholders 

  Malus will apply during the TSR measurement period and claw back will apply for 12 months thereafter. 
  Unvested deferred STI and LTI awards will vest on or shortly after the listing of OML, in accordance with the rules 
of the plans. As the performance period will be complete, there will be no time-based pro-rating applied. As the 
Old Mutual plc shares will not be tradeable after the listing of OML, the nil cost share options will be exercisable 
over OML and OMW shares in the same proportions as will be received by shareholders  

  All LTI awards have completed any relevant performance period and therefore no early testing of performance 

conditions is required  

  LTI awards will remain subject to claw back. 
  No change in application  
  Bruce Hemphill: 200% of base pay 
  Ingrid Johnson: 150% of base pay 
  There is no requirement for the executive directors to hold Company shares post-employment.

Notes to the Directors’ Remuneration Policy table (executive directors) 
Performance measures and targets 
The committee selects performance measures that are central to the Company’s overall strategy and are used by the executive directors 
and Board in overseeing the operation of the business. The performance targets for the STI are determined annually by the committee. 

External directorships 
Executive directors are, subject to prior clearance by the Board, permitted to hold one external non-executive directorship of a listed 
company and are entitled to retain the fees payable to them for doing so. 

Consideration of employment conditions elsewhere in the Group 
The Company’s approach to executive director and wider employee remuneration is based on a common set of remuneration principles 
and a governance structure which have been implemented across all major subsidiaries. This includes subsidiary remuneration 
committees with agreed terms of reference, who have oversight over local matters and ensure that the remuneration principles and 
policies are implemented consistently. 

Although the committee does not consult directly with employees on the executive director remuneration policy, it reviews proposals in the 
context of a detailed understanding of remuneration for the broader employee population. The structure of total remuneration packages for 
executive directors, and for the broader employee population is similar, with the exception of MSIP and LTI awards, which comprises base 
pay, pension and benefits and eligibility for a discretionary STI based on performance in the financial year. The level of STI and the portion 
deferred are determined by role and responsibility.  

Executive directors and selected senior executives participate in the MSIP. As with the MSIP, the legacy LTI plan applied to executive 
directors and senior executives based at the plc in London. Other LTI plans are in place for senior executives in subsidiary companies. 

Annual base pay increases for the executive directors are normally limited to the average base pay increase for employees in their home 
country, unless there has been a change in role or salary progression for a newly appointed director.

Approach to remuneration in connection with recruitment 
The committee’s approach to remuneration in connection with recruitment is to pay no more than is necessary to attract appropriate 
candidates to the role. It should be noted that the Company operates in a specialised sector, is undergoing an extraordinary period of 
transition under the managed separation strategy, and many of its competitors for talent are from outside the UK. Remuneration terms 
for any new executive directors will be based on the approved remuneration policy and would include the same elements, and be subject 
to constraints at or below those of the existing executive directors, as shown below: 

Element of remuneration 
Base pay 
Benefit allowance (for retirement, elective benefits or in cash) 
Other benefits 
STI 
MSIP 

Maximum percentage of base pay 
N/A 
35%  
Dependent on circumstances and location 
150% 
Up to 750%  

In determining the MSIP award opportunity to be offered to new executive directors on recruitment, consideration will be given to progress 
achieved in executing the managed separation strategy and the time elapsed. These considerations will likely lead to a reduction of the 
level of award opportunity over time as the managed separation progresses. 

When it is necessary to ‘buy out’ an individual’s unvested awards from a previous employer, the committee will seek to match the 
expected value of the awards by granting awards that vest over a timeframe similar to those given up, with a commensurate reduction 
in quantum where the new awards will be subject to performance conditions that are not as stretching as those applicable to the awards 
given up. Existing annual incentive given up may be bought out on an expected value basis or incorporated in an appropriate way into the 
executive’s bonus for the first performance year only. 

Where appropriate, the committee will agree reasonable costs of relocation in line with the Group’s mobility policy which, based on 
individual circumstances, provides for a settling-in allowance and costs incurred such as travel, shipping, immigration and tax advice, 
temporary housing, transaction costs on home sale/purchase, home/school search and school fees and, if in relation to a temporary 
assignment, tax equalisation and a housing allowance. All of these costs will be covered gross of tax incurred by the executive, where 
applicable.

Directors’ Remuneration Report

Service agreements and payments for loss of office 
Executive directors’ service agreements are designed to provide an appropriate level of protection for the executive and the Company by: 
(i) setting out individual entitlements to elements of remuneration consistent with policy; (ii) summarising notice periods and compensation 
on termination of employment by the Company; and (iii) describing the obligations in relation to confidentiality, data protection, intellectual 
property and restraint on certain activities. In the event that the employment of an executive director is terminated, any compensation 
payable will be determined in accordance with the terms of the service agreement between the Company and the executive director, 
as well as the rules of any incentive plans.  

The Company’s policy is to make payments in accordance with pre-established contractual arrangements, but with consideration of 
individual circumstances. These circumstances may include the reason for termination and, for deferred STI, MSIP and legacy LTI share 
incentive awards, some discretion in the determination of Good Leaver status for vesting of such awards.  

The policy in this respect is set out in the following table:

'garden leave' or granted pay in lieu of all or part 
of their notice period (PILON). PILON, including 
base pay, benefits and pension-related benefits, 
would normally be paid monthly and be subject 
to mitigation when alternative employment is 
secured but may also be paid as a lump sum

annual re-election at the Company's Annual 
General Meeting.

Treatment of incentive awards on termination, change of control or other corporate events 
For all deferred short-term incentives, legacy long-term incentives, and MSIP awards, the share incentive plan rules provide for automatic 
‘Good Leaver’ status on termination of employment in the event of: (i) death; (ii) injury or disability; (iii) redundancy; (iv) the employing 
company or business ceasing to be a subsidiary or business of Old Mutual plc; and (v) certain takeovers and other corporate events.  

In addition, the committee has discretion to award Good Leaver status for any other reason (discretionary Good Leavers). In these 
circumstances, the committee has discretion to apply less generous terms than would apply under the automatic Good Leaver reasons. 
The committee’s determination will take into account the particular circumstances of the executive director’s departure and the recent 
performance of the Company. Following the execution of the managed separation, it is not expected that the executive directors will have 
roles in the resulting independent entities. This is addressed in the table below:

appropriate in order to respond to changing legal or regulatory requirements or guidelines (including but not limited to any PRA guidance 
relating to Solvency II). This includes the ability to make administrative changes to benefit the operation of the policy and/or to implement 
such changes ahead of any formal effective date, ensuring timely compliance. Where proposed changes are considered by the committee 
to be material, the Company will consult its major shareholders. Any changes would be formally incorporated into the policy when it is next 
put to shareholders for approval.  

The committee retains the discretion, acting in accordance with the applicable share plan rules, to adjust the delivery of awards at the 
completion of the managed separation, reflecting the circumstances of the corporate events.

How shareholder views are reflected in the policy 
The change in strategy prompted the committee to review and propose revised incentive plans, resulting in consultation with shareholders.  

We discussed the design features of the draft MSIP with our largest shareholders and also shared a substantial amount of information 
about the proposed design with major shareholder representative bodies in the UK such as ISS and the Investment Association. 
The feedback received during this period was reflected in the policy.

Annual Report on Remuneration 
The Annual Report on Remuneration sets out the payments made, and awards granted to the directors in 2017, and how the Company 
intends to implement the policy in 2018. This, along with the Chairman’s Annual Statement, is subject to an advisory shareholder vote 
at the 2018 AGM. 

Market benchmarks 
In accordance with the policy, benchmarking is only undertaken in relation to the base pay of the executive directors. The primary peer 
group for benchmarking executive remuneration comprises large insurers and, for 2017 and 2018, included Prudential plc, Aviva plc,  
RSA Insurance Group plc, Legal & General Group plc, Standard Life Aberdeen plc, Allianz Group and Axa Group. For non-executive 
directors, benchmarking is performed against non-executive directors’ remuneration in FTSE100 companies using the whole of the 
FTSE100 population as well as an extract of companies by market capitalisation.

They cover such items as tax advice and use of a car and driver  

  The increase in taxable benefits relates to the payment of tax advice following Bruce Hemphill's transfer to the UK in 
2015. Advice in relation to 2015 and 2016 was charged to the Company during 2017, meaning that there was no 
comparable cost in 2016.  

  STI awarded in relation to performance in the year, including 50% deferred for three years in the form of a share 

award. Vesting of the share award is not subject to the achievement of performance targets but requires the director to 
remain in office during the vesting period. It is intended that the share award will vest on or shortly after the listing of 
OML 

  Malus applies to the shares held under award prior to vesting and claw back applies to the cash element. 
  The 2017 LTI value has been calculated using the average Old Mutual plc share price over the final quarter of 2017 
(198.38p). Malus and claw back apply to the shares held under option. Bruce Hemphill did not have an LTI vest in 
2016, so no amount appears in respect of this element in his 2016 remuneration 

  In respect of Ingrid Johnson, the 2016 LTI value has been restated to show the actual market value of the Nedbank 

awards that vested or were matched (namely R250.93 per share) converted to sterling using the exchange rate on the 
date of vesting (R16.81 to £1). 50% of the LTI award over Old Mutual plc shares (granted in August 2014) vested in 
August 2017 and the value of that part of the award has been restated to reflect the Old Mutual plc share price on the 
date of vesting (206.4p). The unvested nil cost share option (equal to 50% of the award) has not been revalued. Ingrid 
Johnson has not exercised her vested nil cost share option. 

Pension-related benefits 

  This represents the benefit allowance of 35% of base pay less any amounts sacrificed for the purchase of other 

benefits. The Company allocated £10,000 (£27,750 in 2016) of Bruce Hemphill’s benefit allowance to the Old Mutual 
Group Personal Pension Plan, and the corresponding amount for Ingrid Johnson was £10,000 (£19,031 in 2016).  

Items in the nature of remuneration    This includes non-taxable benefits not considered significant in value.

confirmed business plans and identification of critical initiatives over the 
2018 to 2020 timeframe, which are expected to generate meaningful 
value for shareholders

Additional requirements in respect of the single total figure table for executive directors (continued) 
Outcomes for LTI awards over Old Mutual plc shares granted in 2015  
(for the performance period 2015 to 2017) 
Bruce Hemphill received a grant of nil cost share options in November 2015 when he joined the Company, which are due to vest 50% on 
15 November 2018 and 50% on 15 November 2019. Ingrid Johnson received a grant of nil cost share options in April 2015, which are due 
to vest 50% on 17 April 2018 and 50% on 17 April 2019. The first vesting of the nil cost share options granted in 2015 to Paul Hanratty, a 
former executive director, is due to occur on 17 April 2018, with the remainder due to vest on 17 April 2019.  

As the nil cost share options granted in 2015 had not vested at the date of this report, the average share price for the final quarter of 2017 
(198.38p) has been used to determine the value for the purposes of the single total figure. The underlying detail of achievement against

Execution of the managed separation (30%) 
The strategic element of the 2015 LTI performance condition was directly aligned with the execution of the managed separation strategy 
(as approved by shareholders at the General Meeting held on 28 June 2016). An assessment of progress made towards the separation 
of the Group into four standalone businesses, including the elimination of central costs, has been made in the judgement of the committee 
at 31 December 2017. The structural steps required to effect the managed separation were fully defined, with detailed project and 
resource plans in place through to the completion of the managed separation transactions. The separation is on track as originally 
envisaged from a structural perspective.  

In particular: 

  The separation of OM Asset Management has been completed 
  The wind-down of Old Mutual Bermuda has been planned in detail and its portfolio has been substantially hedged 
  The demerger and listing of OMW remains on-track, and the sale of its Single Strategy Asset Management business has allowed 

shareholders to capture the value in this business, which was no longer considered core to the strategy 

  The listing of OML, in which Old Mutual plc will become a subsidiary of the newly established OML (which will be primary-listed on the 

JSE Limited) is on-track, with in principle regulatory approval received in early 2018 

  Preparations for OMW and OML to be capable of operating independently are well advanced and have been delivered within the 

planned timelines.

The committee received input from the Group’s Chief Risk Officer, endorsed by the Board Risk Committee, which confirmed that the 

Group had achieved its objectives within the risk policies and risk appetite limits established for the period, and as a result, no downward 

risk adjustment was recommended. The Committee applied discretion to make a downward adjustment to the outcome of both the LTIs 

that vested at the end of 2015 and 2016 to take consideration of the time and cost overruns of the OMW IT outsourcing project. It was not 

considered appropriate to make any further adjustments to the 2015 LTI.

MSIP performance update 
The MSIP comprises objectives and targets in three categories (highlighted in bold below): 

Objectives 
Execution of  
the managed 
separation (40%) 

This performance condition is directly aligned with the execution of the managed separation strategy. It is assigned the 
highest weighting at 40% because it is the core of the strategy. It consists of the managed separation of the Group into  
four standalone businesses through a series of transactions. The assessment of performance against this condition will  
be made in the judgement of the committee against the key criteria set by the Board, namely: (i) material completion of  
the business separation, (ii) appropriate capitalisation of the businesses, and (iii) quality of transaction execution 

  An update in relation to the progress toward managed separation is given under the ‘Outcomes for LTI awards over Old Mutual plc shares granted in 

2015’ section above. 

Performance of 
the underlying 
businesses (25%) 
  Our strong businesses delivered resilient operational performance alongside significant progress towards managed separation, all in the context of 

This performance condition is directly aligned with the strategic objective to deliver competitive financial performance in 
each of the businesses while they are part of the Group, in order to maximise the value creation opportunity on separation 

challenging macro-economic conditions continuing in South Africa through 2017. Although markets were strong in the UK, weak currency, uncertainty 
around Brexit, and regulatory developments in financial services continued to have an impact 

  The financial targets in the MSIP are based on a three-year timeframe. The actual performance of each business will be crystallised as it separates from 

the Group1 

  In accordance with the terms of the MSIP, the committee determined the outcome of the financial performance of OM Asset Management at the point 
of separation from the Group at the end of 2017. OM Asset Management achieved 14.3% growth over the period, resulting in a maximum outcome. 
This outcome represents 1.7% of the total MSIP award. 

1  If the committee considers it necessary to review the financial targets under the discretion afforded in the policy for reasons linked to the macro-economic environment, the 

phasing of three-year growth plans relative to the timeframe taken to complete the separation of a business, or the reallocation of the Group’s assets, it will do so with 
transparency and in a way that ensures the targets are as relevant and stretching as originally intended. 

Alignment with 
shareholder  
value (35%) 
  In accordance with the principles approved in 2016, the weighting of the peer groups is reviewed each time a transaction is completed. Accordingly, in 

This performance condition is directly aligned with the strategic objective to unlock and create significant long-term value  
for shareholders through managed separation and will be measured through relative total shareholder return (TSR) 

November 2017, the weightings were reviewed to reflect the completion of the sale of OM Asset Management. The new weightings that apply from that 
date are: OMEM 46.4% (43.9%); Nedbank 21.4% (20.3%); OMW 32.2% (30.5%); and OM Asset Management 0% (5.3%)  

  TSR is monitored throughout the period, with the committee receiving regular updates. TSR will be measured until the end of the holding period applicable 
to the elements of the MSIP that will vest following the listing of OML and the demerger and listing of OMW. This is consistent with the commitment to 
maintain shareholder alignment for a period beyond completion and ensure the outcome reflects the shareholder value created through separating the 
constituent businesses, which will take time. 

Risk management  A quantitative downward adjustment of up to 5% and qualitative assessment of risk management over the entire period  

with an uncapped discretionary downward adjustment 

  In 2016 and 2017, the Company exceeded its liquidity and solvency ratio targets, meaning that no quantitative downward adjustment would apply for the 
period 2016 to 2017 (see 2017 STI outcome for details of the 2017 risk performance). The committee receives annual risk reports from the Group’s 
Chief Risk Officer, endorsed by the Board Risk Committee, to ensure it has a full understanding of risk events and management’s performance as 
managed separation progresses. While some risk adjustment was applied to the outcome of incentives at the end of 2016, these were in relation to 
legacy issues pre-dating the managed separation strategy, so no events have transpired to date that the committee considers should result in a 
downward-adjustment to the MSIP at completion. The committee will continue to monitor risk management closely.

Directors’ shareholdings and share interests (audited) continued 

Within a period of five years of appointment to the role, the Group Chief Executive is required to build-up a holding of shares in the 

Company equal in value to 200% of base pay; the equivalent figure for other executive directors is 150% of base pay. 

Unvested share awards or share options and vested but unexercised share options are excluded for the purposes of the calculations. 

There is no requirement for executive directors to hold shares or share interests in the Company once they have ceased employment  

with the Group. Bruce Hemphill’s and Ingrid Johnson’s interests in Old Mutual plc shares at 31 December 2017 are set out below. 

Shares have been valued for these purposes using the Old Mutual plc share price on 29 December 2017, which was 231.7p per share. 

There have been no changes to the current directors’ personal shareholdings or share interests between 31 December 2017 and 15 

March 2018 other than in relation to the outcome of the 2015 LTI targets set out earlier in this report.

Shares in trust and shareholder dilution 

There have been no changes to the interests in shares owned by the Chairman and the current non-executive directors between  

At 31 December 2017, there were 109,161,165 shares held in employee share ownership trusts (ESOTs) for the purposes of collaterising 

some of the obligations under the Group’s employee share incentive schemes. The usual strategy is to ensure that, with the exception of 

Black Economic Empowerment-related ESOTs, at least sufficient shares are held to satisfy restricted share/forfeitable shares awards. In 

calculating dilution limits, any awards that are satisfied by transfer of pre-existing issued shares (such as shares acquired by market 

purchase through ESOTs) and any shares comprised in any share option or share award that has lapsed or has been cash-settled are 

disregarded. At 31 December 2017, the Company had 4.58% of share capital available under the 5%-in-10-years limit applicable to 

discretionary share incentive schemes and 8.66% of share capital available under the 10%-in-10-years limit applicable to all share 

incentive schemes. The Company has complied with these limits at all times.

Performance graphs 
The charts below show the Company’s eight-year annual TSR performance against the FTSE 100 Index and JSE ALSI. These indices 
were selected because: (i) the Company is part of those indices; and (ii) due to the international structure and diversity of the Group’s 
businesses, the two broad market indices shown are the only relevant market comparators available. 

The charts show the value of TSR (assuming dividends reinvested) at each year end from 31 December 2009 to 31 December 2017 on 
£100/R100 invested in Old Mutual plc shares compared with the TSR (calculated on the same basis) on £100/R100 invested in the FTSE

Percentage change in the remuneration of the Group Chief Executive 
The table below shows the percentage change in the remuneration of the Group Chief Executive (from 2016 to 2017) compared to that for 
UK-based employees of the plc Head Office in London. The committee has selected employees in the plc Head Office in London, as the 
Group Chief Executive is employed in that office and managed separation has made comparison to other businesses less relevant.

1  The increase in taxable benefits for the Group Chief Executive relates to the payment of tax advice following his transfer to the UK in 2015. Advice in relation to 2015 and 2016 was 

charged to the Company during 2017, meaning that there was no comparator for 2016. For other employees the increase is partly attributable to 2017 being the first full calendar year 
that the lower annual pension cap applied.

STI 
In 2017, the STI scorecard was weighted 75% financial measures and 25% non-financial measures. In 2018, the committee has 
determined that the STI scorecard up to the point of listing of OML and the demerger and listing of OMW will be weighted 50% financial 
measures and 50% non-financial measures. The financial measures will be a combination of cost management of the plc Head Office  
in London, and the performance of the businesses. Non-financial measures will focus on the executives’ continued oversight of the 
businesses in the management of risk and execution of the strategies. After listing of OML and the demerger and listing of OMW, the 
committee believes performance relative to non-financial measures only is appropriate, as plc executive oversight of the businesses will 
effectively end. The non-financial measures will focus on the principal remaining steps for managed separation, including the wind-down 
plan for the plc Head Office in London, the management of Company debt, and the anticipated unbundling of Nedbank. In relation to  
the pre-listing metrics only, a potential downward adjustment of up to 5% will apply based on the outcome of two risk-based metrics. 
Achievement of the target (or better) will result in no adjustment to the outcome; achievement at or below the threshold will result in a 5% 
downward adjustment to the outcome, with straight-line interpolation between threshold and target. There will also be a qualitative risk 
assessment undertaken by the Group’s Chief Risk Officer and endorsed by the Board Risk Committee in relation to the pre-listing metrics 
only, which will cover management of risk in relation to risk management policy and risk appetite limits, audit/governance reports and 
regulatory breaches.

Legacy deferred STI and LTI awards  
The committee has concluded that when managed separation is determined to be materially complete at the time of listing of OML and the 
demerger and listing of OMW (this being contingent on the necessary approvals subsequently being received with a legal obligation on 
OML to proceed with the unbundling of Nedbank), all unvested deferred STI and LTI awards will vest on or shortly after the listing of OML, 
in accordance with the rules of the plans and the terms of the policy. As the performance period will be complete, there will be no time-
based pro-rating applied. Executives will continue to have significant alignment to shareholders, business performance, and risk 
management events through the continued vesting and holding period of a substantial proportion of the MSIP awards, and the Company’s 
ability to apply claw back to vested awards in the event of a significant risk issue. As the Old Mutual plc shares will not be tradeable after 
the listing of OML, the nil cost share options will be exercisable over OML and OMW shares in the same proportions as will be received 
by shareholders.

The Managed Separation Incentive Plan 
The intention is for the elements of the MSIP relating to the Execution of the managed separation (40% of the award), and Performance of 
the underlying businesses (25% of the award), to vest following the listing of OML and the demerger and listing of OMW, with a one-year 
holding period applied to 50% of the net value of the vested award. In respect of the measurement category relating to TSR (the remaining 
35% of the award), the committee is mindful that the way the execution of managed separation has evolved means that the constituent 
businesses will be listed. The committee has determined that the TSR from the independently-listed businesses should therefore continue 
to be measured until the end of the holding period applicable to the elements of the MSIP that will vest following the listing of OML and the 
demerger and listing of OMW. This is consistent with the commitment to maintain shareholder alignment for a period beyond completion 
and ensure the outcome reflects the shareholder value created through separating the constituent businesses, which will take time. As the 
Old Mutual plc shares will not be tradeable after the listing of OML, the nil cost share options will be rolled-over into OML and OMW shares 
in the same proportions as will be received by shareholders. 

The combined application of malus, cross-malus (enabling the committee to apply malus to an unvested award in respect of a risk event 
that applies to an award that has already vested) and claw back ensures that the committee has appropriate mechanisms to apply 
reductions to awards up to 12 months following the final vesting date if a significant risk event occurs.  

Post-employment holding periods 
The committee has chosen not to require executive directors to hold shares for a period after vesting or exercise, or after leaving the 
Group. The holding period will apply to 50% of the net value of the vested MSIP award (other than in relation to the TSR metric). 

Non-executive directors’ fees 
The annual fees payable to the Chairman and to the other non-executive directors in 2017 and 2018, are set out below, by role. There has 
been no increase to the fees payable to the Chairman and the other non-executive directors in 2018.

Solvency II 
From 1 January 2016, certain parts of the Group were required to comply with the remuneration requirements of Solvency II. The parts 
of the Group specifically impacted are Old Mutual plc, OMW and OMEM. The committee, along with the Company’s Management 
Remuneration Committee, oversees compliance of all relevant businesses in the Group with the Solvency II remuneration requirements. 

In reaching the decisions relating to existing share awards as a result of the managed separation, the committee carefully considered 
the remuneration requirements of Solvency II, including the requirement to defer a material proportion of variable pay over three years, 
and to ensure that executives are aligned to the risks inherent in executing the strategy throughout the period over which managed 
separation is expected to be completed, and for a suitable period of time beyond. The committee is satisfied that the executives will be 
appropriately aligned through the continued vesting and holding period applicable to the MSIP and the claw back provisions that apply 
to all incentive plans.

The committee Chairman has access to and regular contact with the Group Human Resources Department independently of the 
executive directors. During 2017, the committee met nine times. The Board accepted the recommendations made by the committee 
during the year without amendment. Paul Forsythe, Deputy Group Company Secretary, acted as secretary to the committee. 

Advisers to the committee 
A review of the committee’s independent adviser was undertaken in 2014 and, following a competitive tender process, the committee 
appointed PwC as its independent adviser. PwC provides wide-ranging advice and services across the Group on matters including 
transactions, tax, internal audit and IT security. In its capacity as adviser to the committee, PwC works with management to prepare 
recommendations for the committee’s consideration and provides advice to the committee on benchmarking of total remuneration 
packages for the executive directors and other senior employees, the design of short-term and long-term incentive arrangements 
(including for employees of subsidiary companies), updating the committee on corporate governance best practice, advice in relation to 
the measurement of performance for incentive purposes and other matters within the committee’s terms of reference. PwC also provides 
advice to management on remuneration matters. The committee undertakes a review of the advice it receives to assess whether it is 
objective and independent; it also satisfies itself that there are no conflicts of interest arising between it, the advisers and the Company. 
PwC is a signatory to the Remuneration Consultants’ Group Code of Conduct. Work undertaken by PwC for the committee is charged 
on a time basis and for 2017 was £212,300 (2016: £209,699) excluding VAT. 

Ian Luke (Group Head of Reward) and Rex Tomlinson (Group Chief of Staff) assisted the committee during the year. Group Human 
Resources provided supporting materials for matters that came before the committee, including comparative data and justifications for 
proposed base pay, benefits, annual incentive plans, share awards and criteria for performance targets and appraisals against those 
targets. Patrick O’Sullivan, Bruce Hemphill, and Sue Kean, the Group’s Chief Risk Officer, gave advice to the committee in assessing the 
performance of the Group Chief Executive, other members of the plc Executive committee and business CEOs, and the assessment of 
risk, respectively.

The committee is mindful of shareholder feedback and the voting result for the 2016 Directors’ Remuneration Report, demonstrating 
that a significant minority of shareholders had concerns about the 2016 Directors’ Remuneration report. The committee therefore took 
this feedback into account in assessing the outcome of the plans for 2017. 2017 outcomes were assessed against internal targets, peer 
group performance and external macro-economic measures, assuring the committee that the outcomes of the plans were appropriate 
for the performance delivered over the period. This approach is consistent with our commitment to align executive remuneration with 
stakeholder interests. 

Consideration of shareholder views 
In developing the revised policy and the MSIP in 2016, we consulted with our largest shareholders and also shared a substantial amount 
of information about the proposals with major shareholder representative bodies in the UK such as ISS and the Investment Association. 
The feedback received during the consultation period was reflected in the policy and the design of the MSIP. 

Approved and signed on behalf of the Board of directors.

Chairman of the Remuneration Committee

Statement of Directors’ responsibilities in respect of the 
Annual Report and Accounts and the Financial Statements 

The Directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and Accounts and the Group and parent Company financial statements  
in accordance with applicable law and regulations.  

Company law requires the directors to prepare Group and parent Company financial statements for each financial year. Under that law 
they are required to prepare the Group financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted  
by the European Union (IFRSs as adopted by the EU) and applicable law and have elected to prepare the parent Company financial 
statements on the same basis.  

Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of 
the state of affairs of the Group and parent Company and of their profit or loss for that period. In preparing each of the Group and parent 
Company financial statements, the directors are required to:  

  select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;  
  make judgements and estimates that are reasonable, relevant and reliable;  
  state whether they have been prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the EU;  
  assess the Group and parent Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going 

concern; and  

  use the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to liquidate the Group or the parent Company or to cease 

operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.  

The Directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the parent Company's 
transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the parent Company and enable them to ensure 
that its financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are responsible for such internal control as they determine is 
necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and 
have general responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably open to them to safeguard the assets of the Group and to prevent  
and detect fraud and other irregularities.  

Under applicable law and regulations, the directors are also responsible for preparing a Strategic Report, Directors' Report, Directors' 
Remuneration Report and Corporate Governance Statement that complies with that law and those regulations.  

The directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the company's 
website. Legislation in the UK governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other 
jurisdictions.  

Responsibility statement of the directors in respect of the annual financial report  
We confirm that to the best of our knowledge:  

  the financial statements, prepared in accordance with the applicable set of accounting standards, give a true and fair view of the assets, 
liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the company and the undertakings included in the consolidation taken as a whole; and  

  the strategic report includes a fair review of the development and performance of the business and the position of the issuer and the 
undertakings included in the consolidation taken as a whole, together with a description of the principal risks and uncertainties that  
they face.  

We consider the annual report and accounts, taken as a whole, is fair, balanced and understandable and provides the information 
necessary for shareholders to assess the Group's position and performance, business model and strategy.

Group financial statements  
Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members  
of Old Mutual plc 

1 Our opinion is unmodified  
We have audited the financial statements of Old Mutual plc (“the Company”) for the year ended 31 December 2017 which comprise the 
Consolidated Income Statement, the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Consolidated and Company Statements of 
Financial Position, the Consolidated and Company Statements of Cash Flows, the Consolidated and Company Statements of Changes  
in Equity, the Statement of Adjusted Operating Profit and the related notes, including the accounting policies. 

In our opinion:  

  the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of the Group’s and of the Parent Company’s affairs as at 31 December 2017 and 

of the Group’s profit for the year then ended;  

  the Group financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the 

European Union (IFRSs as adopted by the EU); 

  the Parent Company financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the EU and as applied in 

accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006; and;  

  the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and, as regards the Group 

financial statements, Article 4 of the IAS Regulation. 

Basis for opinion  
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (“ISAs (UK)”) and applicable law. Our responsibilities are 
described below. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is a sufficient and appropriate basis for our opinion. Our audit opinion is 
consistent with our report to the Group Audit Committee. 

We were appointed as auditor of the Company by the Directors following its incorporation on 26 June 1998. Subsequent to the Company’s listing 
of its shares on the London Stock Exchange on 12 July 1999, we were reappointed as auditor of Old Mutual plc by the shareholders at its AGM 
on 18 May 2000. The period of total uninterrupted engagement is for the 18 years 8 months ended 31 December 2017 (17 years 7 months since 
the Company’s listing). We have fulfilled our ethical responsibilities under, and we remain independent of the Group in accordance with, UK 
ethical requirements including the FRC Ethical Standard as applied to listed public interest entities. No non-audit services prohibited by that 
standard were provided. 

2 Key audit matters: our assessment of risks of material misstatement  
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements and 
include the most significant assessed risks of material misstatement (whether or not due to fraud) identified by us, including those which had  
the greatest effect on: the overall audit strategy; the allocation of resources in the audit; and directing the efforts of the engagement team. We 
summarise below the key audit matters (changed from 2016 to include Assets and liabilities held for sale and distribution and remove Investment 
in Ecobank Transnational Incorporated), in decreasing order of audit significance, in arriving at our audit opinion above, together with our key  
audit procedures to address those matters and, as required for public interest entities, our results from those procedures. These matters were 
addressed, and our results are based on procedures undertaken, in the context of, and solely for the purpose of, our audit of the financial 
statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and consequently are incidental to that opinion, and we do not provide a separate 
opinion on these matters.

E and G6 to the financial statements. 

The risk 

Our response 

Subjective valuation 
Within the life businesses in Emerging Markets and Old Mutual 
Wealth, judgement is required over the variety of uncertain future 
outcomes affecting the valuation of policyholder liabilities, including 
the estimation of economic assumptions, such as investment 
return, discount rates, and operating assumptions such as, 
expenses, tax, mortality and persistency and the policy for  
creating and releasing discretionary margins held. 

Our procedures included:  
  Control design: Evaluating controls over the measurement and 
management of the Group’s calculation of insurance liabilities 
including their operating effectiveness. 

  Our sector experience: Assessing the appropriateness  
of methodologies and assumptions used against our own 
knowledge of the regulations, industry standards and  
market practice. 

  Our actuarial expertise: Using our own actuarial specialists to 
assist us in challenging certain assumptions and methodology 
used and the process followed for setting and updating these 
assumptions, particularly around mortality, morbidity, expense 
and persistency assumptions. This included assessing the data 
used in the Group’s analysis prepared to set the assumptions,  
in the context of our own industry knowledge, external data  
and our views of experience to date, an understanding of which 
was enhanced through our attendance at the Group’s own 
internal Independent Review Committee meetings. Further,  
we assess the Group’s analysis of movement in the results  
and, where appropriate, perform independent recalculations  
of specific liabilities. 

  Assessing transparency: Assessing whether the disclosures 
in relation to the life insurance contract liabilities are compliant 
with IFRS and with the methodologies applied by the directors. 

Our results 
  We found the valuation of policyholder liabilities to be 

acceptable (2016: acceptable).

Refer to page 81 (Report from the Group Audit Committee), pages 224 and 300 to 305 (accounting policy) and the disclosures in notes 
A3, E and G1 to the financial statements. 

The risk 

Our response 

Subjective estimate 
The loans and advances impairment assessment requires 
judgement and subjective assumptions, particularly the estimated 
stream of future cash flows and credit losses on the unsecured 
and commercial lending portfolios at Nedbank and Old Mutual 
Finance within Emerging Markets. 

Collective impairments are calculated using models which rely  
on expert judgement and large historical datasets. Overlays may 
be applied to model outputs to cater for additional factors, and  
the valuation of these overlays can be highly subjective  
within Nedbank. 

The Group’s loans and advances are primarily held in South Africa 
and the ongoing volatility of the wider economy in South Africa 
increases the risk of estimation uncertainty as well as 
macroeconomic issues such as the price of oil. 

Our procedures included:  
  Control design: Evaluating controls over the identification  
of impairment losses, the governance processes in place for 
credit models, inputs and overlays, the credit forums where  
key judgements are considered, and how the directors ensure 
they have appropriate oversight over allowances for loan 
impairments and other credit risk allowances including their 
operating effectiveness where possible. 

  Assessing forecasts: Testing the historical accuracy of 
impairment provision models by assessing the historical 
projections versus actual credit losses. 

  Our credit expertise and benchmarking assumptions:  
Our Nedbank and Emerging Markets component teams 
involved their own internal credit specialists to assist us in 
assessing significant impairment models employed by the 
Group and challenging the Group’s assumptions by comparing 
them to externally available data in relation to key inputs such  
as historical default rates, recovery rates, collateral valuation, 
and economic growth rates. 

  Our sector experience and tests of detail: Performing 
detailed testing over the specific provisions held against  
a sample of loans and advances by inspecting latest 
correspondence Credit Committee and Risk Committee 
minutes, challenging assumptions where relevant and 
assessing collateral values. We also attended the key  
Nedbank Credit Committee and Emerging Markets Risk 
Committee meetings. 

  Assessing transparency: Assessing whether the adequacy  
of the disclosures made in relation to loan loss provisioning  
is consistent with IFRS and with the methodologies applied  
by the directors. 

Our results  
  We found the level of provisions for impairment made  
and valuation of loans and advances to be acceptable  
(2016: acceptable).

A3, A4 and H1 to the financial statements. 

The risk 

Our response 

Forecast-based valuation 
Goodwill and other intangible assets (both acquired and internally 
generated) represent 0.2% (2016: 1.4%) of total assets of the 
Group and the determination of their recoverable amount is 
complex and typically requires a high level of judgement, taking 
into account the different economic environments in which the 
Group operates. Goodwill and other intangibles classified as held 
for sale and distribution represent 1.6% (2016: 15.1%) of total 
assets classified as held for sale and distribution. The most 
significant judgements arise over the forecast cash flows, discount 
rate and growth rate applied in the value-in-use valuation models. 

The risk has decreased in the current year due to significant 
goodwill impairments recognised by Emerging Markets 
management in both the prior year and the period ended  
30 June 2017. There have been no impairment reversals  
in the year and hence there is headroom at year end, 
resulting in a lower risk assessment. 

Our procedures included:  
  Our sector experience: Challenging the cash flow forecasts 
and the corresponding assumptions, such as discount rates  
and growth rates based on our understanding of the relevant 
business and the industry and economic environment in which  
it operates. Additionally, comparing forecasts to business plans 
and also previous forecasts to actual results to assess the 
performance of the business and the accuracy of forecasting 
and considered the appropriateness of the scenarios used,  
in the context of our wider business understanding. 

  Sensitivity analysis: Performing sensitivity analyses on the  

key assumptions in Old Mutual Wealth and the cash generating 
units in Emerging Markets. 

  Our valuation expertise: Our Emerging Markets component 
team involved their own valuation specialists to assist us in 
evaluating the key assumptions and methodologies used by the 
Group, in particular those relating to discount rates, and growth 
rates, with reference to our own independent expectations, 
which were based on our industry knowledge and experience. 

  Assessing transparency: Assessing the adequacy of the 
disclosures regarding the sensitivity of the relevant financial 
statement items to changes in the respective key assumptions 
appropriately reflect the associated risks and comply with the 
requirements of relevant accounting standards. 

Our results  
  We found that the resulting estimate of the recoverable amount 

of goodwill was acceptable (2016: acceptable).

Refer to page 82 (Report from the Group Audit Committee), pages 300 to 305 (accounting policy) and the disclosures in notes A4,  
E and G2 to the financial statements. 

The risk 

Our response 

Subjective valuation 
We do not consider investment and securities to include a high 
risk of significant misstatement, or to be subject to a significant 
level of judgement. However, due to their materiality in the 
context of the financial statements as a whole, they are 
considered to be one of the areas which had the greatest 
effect on our overall audit strategy and allocation of resources 
in planning and completing our audit. The determination of the 
fair value of certain financial instruments, held at fair value,  
is a key source of estimation uncertainty. This applies to both 
individual financial instruments and also to portfolio valuation 
adjustments. At 31 December 2017, investments and 
securities at fair value through profit or loss represented 23.8% 
(2016: 61.4% which is not required to be restated for those 
assets held for sale and distribution at 31 December 2017) of 
total assets, and available-for-sale assets represented 0.03% 
(2016: 0.6% which is not required to be restated for those 
assets held for sale and distribution at 31 December 2017) of 
total assets. At 31 December 2017, investments and securities 
at fair value through profit or loss classified as held for sale and 
distribution represented 60.6% (2016: nil%) of total assets 
classified as held for sale and distribution, and available-for-
sale assets classified as held for sale and distribution 
represented 0.9% (2016: nil%) of total assets classified as held 
for sale and distribution. The estimation uncertainty is higher 
for those instruments that are classified as level 3 instruments 
under the relevant accounting standard, as significant 
elements of the valuation are not observable. Of the financial 
instruments carried at fair value, 2.8% (2016: 1.5%) were 
classified as level 3. Of the financial instruments carried at fair 
value classified as held for sale and distribution, 1.8% (2016: 
nil%) were classified as level 3. 

The risk has increased in the current year due to the ongoing 
volatility of the wider economy in South Africa increasing the 
risk of estimation uncertainty as well as macroeconomic issues 
such as the price of oil. 

Our procedures included:  
  Benchmarking assumptions and our sector experience:  

At 31 December 2017, level 1 and level 2 instruments primarily 
comprise listed equity and debt securities and unlisted equity 
and debt securities respectively. For these we selected a 
sample of these instruments and checked their prices or other 
observable inputs to independent sources. At 31 December 
2017, level 3 instruments primarily comprise unlisted private 
equity investments and investment securities. 

  Our valuation expertise: Our Nedbank and Emerging 

Markets component teams involved their own valuation 
specialists to challenge the key inputs and assumptions 
such as estimated cash flows and discount rates which  
drive the valuation, and to critically assess the valuation 
methodologies against current market best practice. 

We considered sensitivities to key factors including: 
  Assessing the appropriateness of the pricing multiples 
available from comparable listed companies, adjusted  
for comparability differences, size and liquidity; and 
  Assessing the reasonableness of the cash flows and 
discount rates used by comparing them to similar 
instruments. 

  Assessing transparency: Assessing the adequacy of  
the disclosures including the description of the fair value 
measurement process and whether the sensitivity to key  
inputs appropriately reflects the Group’s exposure to  
financial instruments valuation risk 

Our results  
  We found the valuation of investments and securities  

to be acceptable (2016: acceptable).

The risk 

Our response 

Subjective outcome 
The application of accounting standards to determine the 
treatment of Nedbank and Old Mutual Wealth as held for 
distribution, is inherently subjective, particularly in determining 
whether the distribution is highly probable. 

The risk has increased from the prior year as it was not the 
directors’ intention to distribute either Nedbank or Old Mutual 
Wealth within twelve months of the previous year end. 

Our procedures included:  
  Evaluating directors' intent: Assessing and challenging the 
directors’ assumptions and judgements made behind their 
classification of both Nedbank and Old Mutual Wealth as held 
for distribution against the relevant criteria within the relevant 
accounting standard, including whether the distributions are 
highly probable to occur within twelve months of 31 December 
2017 by evaluating the assumptions and judgements against 
our own expectations based on our knowledge of the Group and 
intent of the directors by attending and questioning key Board 
committee members. We reviewed supporting documentation  
to consider whether the high probability assessment was met  
at 31 December 2017, including the potential impacts that the 
remaining execution risks have on both distributions. 

  Enquiry of senior management and key Board committees: 
Performing enquiries with senior management and key Board 
committees on all significant assumptions made including 
whether Nedbank and Old Mutual Wealth are available for 
immediate distribution in their present condition and whether it is 
highly probable that the distributions will occur within 12 months 
of the balance sheet date and corroborating these assumptions 
by reviewing management’s accounting papers, including 
project plans, timelines, presentations to institutional investors 
and key Board committee meeting minutes such as the 
Managed Separation Steering Committee. Additionally, 
assessing whether the information obtained from the  
enquiries are consistent with our understanding of the  
directors’ intent or whether any disconfirming evidence exists. 

  Assessing transparency: Assessing the adequacy of the 

disclosures made in relation to the treatment of both Nedbank 
and Old Mutual Wealth as held for distribution. 

Our results  
  We found the group’s assessment of both Nedbank and  
Old Mutual Wealth being classified as held for distribution  
to be acceptable (2016: not applicable).

Parent Company risks: Investments in Group subsidiaries

Risk vs 2016: ◄► 

Refer to page 82 (Report from the Group Audit Committee), pages 154 to 155 and 334 (accounting policy) and the disclosures in note 2 
to the Company financial statements. 

The risk 

Our response 

Subjective valuation 
The carrying amount of the Parent Company’s investments  
in subsidiaries represents 57.4% (2016: 52.4%) of the Parent 
Company’s total assets. Their recoverability is not at a high risk  
of significant misstatement or subject to significant judgement. 
However, due to their materiality in the context of the Parent 
Company financial statements, this is considered to be the area 
that had the greatest effect on our overall Parent Company audit. 

Our procedures included:  
  Tests of detail: Comparing the carrying amount of a sample of 
the highest value investments, representing 65% (2016: 100%) 
of the total investment balance with the relevant subsidiaries’ 
draft balance sheets to identify whether their net assets, being 
an approximation of their minimum recoverable amount, were  
in excess of their carrying amount. Assessing the recoverable 
value for investments, representing 35% (2016: nil%) of the total 
investment balance using value-in-use models. Procedures 
performed over value-in-use models are described in the 
section on Goodwill and other intangibles above. 

  Assessing subsidiary audits: As Group auditors, assessing 
the work performed by the subsidiary audit teams over the net 
assets of those subsidiaries by reviewing subsidiary audit teams 
audit procedures and findings. 

Our results  
  We found the Company’s assessment of the recoverability  
of the investments in Group subsidiaries to be acceptable  
(2016: acceptable). 

We continue to perform procedures over Investment in Ecobank Transnational Incorporated. However, as the investment market value  
exceeded carrying value and management concluded that no objective indicators of further impairment or reversal of impairment existed at  
31 December 2017, we have not assessed this as one of the most significant risks in our current year audit and, therefore, it is not separately 
identified in our report this year.

Group financial statements  
Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members  
of Old Mutual plc continued 

3 Our application of materiality and an overview of the scope of our audit  
Materiality for the Group financial statements as a whole was set at £80 million (2016: £69 million), determined with reference to a benchmark  
of normalised Group profit before tax from continuing and discontinued operations of £2,037 million (2016: £1,667 million). As detailed in note  
C1 of the Group financial statements, this represents the Group’s profit before tax from continuing operations adjusted for the following items: 

  the effects of short-term market volatility such as short-term fluctuations in investment return and revaluation of Institutional Asset Management 

equity plans; 

  the effect of strategic choices and inorganic activity such as goodwill impairment, the impact of acquisition accounting and net profit/loss on 
disposal of subsidiaries, associated undertakings and strategic investments, dividends declared to holders of perpetual preferred callable 
securities, credit-related fair value losses on Group debt instruments, managed separation and business standalone costs, income/(expense) 
from resolution of plc Head Office pre-existing items, voluntary remediation to customers; and 

  the impact of significant one-off investments in organic growth such as Old Mutual Wealth restructuring expenditure. 

For those items excluded from normalised Group profit before tax, the component teams performed procedures on such items relating  
to their components. 

The Group is in the process of executing a managed separation into four independent businesses and at an appropriate point in the future, the 
Group, in its current structure, will no longer exist. We have not identified risks of material misstatement arising from the execution of managed 
separation for the audit of the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017 however, we consider the impact of managed 
separation in assessing our materiality. Materiality represents 3.9% (2016: 4.1%) of normalised Group profit before tax. Materiality was 
reassessed on a regular basis and this reassessment considered the impact of the execution of the managed separation of the Group  
on its normalised Group profit before tax. 

Materiality for the Parent Company financial statements as a whole was set at £20 million (2016: £20 million), based on component materiality. 
This is lower than the materiality we would otherwise have determined by reference to total assets, and represents 0.3% (2016: 0.2%) of the 
Parent Company’s total assets. 

We agreed to report to the Group Audit Committee any corrected or uncorrected identified misstatements exceeding £4 million  
(2016: £3.4 million), in addition to other identified misstatements that warranted reporting on qualitative grounds.  

Scope – Group 
Of the group’s six (2016: six) reporting components, being Emerging Markets, Old Mutual Wealth, Nedbank, Old Mutual Bermuda, plc Head 
Office businesses and OMLAC(SA) branches (2016: Emerging Markets, Old Mutual Wealth, Nedbank, Institutional Asset Management, Old 
Mutual Bermuda and plc Head Office businesses), we subjected six (2016: six) to full scope audits for group purposes. The component audit 
teams at each of the components undertook their own scoping exercises, with oversight from the Group team, to gain sufficient audit coverage  
to support their own reporting to the Group team. The component teams performed procedures on those items excluded from normalised Group 
profit before tax. The components scoped in for Group reporting purposes accounted for 100% (2016: 100%) of total Group revenues; 100% 
(2016: 100%) of Group profit before tax; and 100% (2016: 100%) of Group total assets. 

The Group team instructed component auditors as to the significant areas to be covered, including the relevant risks detailed above and  
the information to be reported back. The Group team approved the component materialities, which ranged from £20 million to £45 million  
(2016: £20 million to £45 million), having regard to the mix of size and risk profile of the Group across the components. The work on six  
of the six components (2016: six of the six components) was performed by component auditors. 

The Group team visited four component locations in Cape Town, Johannesburg and two in London (2016: four component locations in Cape 
Town, Johannesburg and two in London and met one component from the US in the UK for planning and risk assessment meetings) to assess 
the audit risk and strategy. The group audit team maintained regular communication with the component auditors at these locations throughout 
the audit cycle to discuss work progress and identify matters of relevance to our audit of the Group financial statements. At these visits and 
meetings, the findings and status of any issues reported to the Group team was discussed in detail, and any further work required by the Group 
team was then performed by the component auditor. The Senior Statutory Auditor, in conjunction with other senior staff in the Group team, also 
attended Group Audit Committee meetings held at the significant components to understand key risks and audit issues at a component level 
which may have affected the Group financial statements. Telephone conference meetings were also held with these component auditors  
and all the others that were not physically visited.

Annual Report and Accounts 2017  

Scope – disclosure of IFRS 9 effect 
The Group is adopting IFRS 9 Financial Instruments from 1 January 2018 and has included an estimate of the financial impact of the change in 
accounting standard, for the parts of the Group most affected, in accordance with IAS 8 Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors as set out  
in note A7 on pages 166 to 169. This disclosure notes that the Group continues to refine its expected credit loss model and embed its operational 
processes which may change the actual impact on adoption. While further testing of the financial impact will be performed as part of our 2018 
year end audit, we have performed sufficient audit procedures for the purposes of assessing the disclosures made in accordance with IAS 8. 
Specifically for Nedbank, we have: 

  considered the appropriateness of key technical decisions, judgements, assumptions and elections made by management; 
  considered key classification and measurement decisions, including business model assessments and Solely Payment of Principal and Interest 

(SPPI) outcomes; 

  involved credit risk modelling and economic specialists in the consideration of credit risk modelling decisions and macroeconomic 

variables, including forward economic guidance and generation of multiple economic scenarios; and 

  considered transitional controls and governance processes related to the valuation and approval of the estimated transitional impact. 

4 We have nothing to report on going concern 
We are required to report to you if: 

  we have anything material to add or draw attention to in relation to the directors’ statement in note A1 to the financial statements on the use of 
the going concern basis of accounting with no material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt over the Group and the Parent Company’s 
use of that basis for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements; or  

  the related statement under the Listing Rules set out on pages 92 to 93 is materially inconsistent with our audit knowledge.  

We have nothing to report in these respects.  

5 We have nothing to report on the other information in the Annual Report and Accounts  
The directors are responsible for the other information presented in the Annual Report together with the financial statements. Our opinion on the 
financial statements does not cover the other information and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion or, except as explicitly stated 
below, any form of assurance conclusion thereon.  

Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether, based on our financial statements audit work, the information 
therein is materially misstated or inconsistent with the financial statements or our audit knowledge. Based solely on that work we have not 
identified material misstatements in the other information.  

Strategic Report and Directors' Report  
Based solely on our work on the other information:  

  we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report and the Directors’ Report;  
  in our opinion the information given in those reports for the financial year is consistent with the financial statements; and  
  in our opinion those reports have been prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 2006.  

Directors' Remuneration Report  
In our opinion the part of the Directors’ Remuneration Report to be audited has been properly prepared in accordance with the  
Companies Act 2006.  

Disclosures of principal risks and longer-term viability  
Based on the knowledge we acquired during our financial statements audit, we have nothing material to add or draw attention to in relation to:  

  the directors’ confirmation within the Directors’ Viability Statement on pages 92 to 93 that they have carried out a robust assessment of  
the principal risks facing the Group, including those that would threaten its business model, future performance, solvency and liquidity;  

  the Principal Risks disclosures describing these risks and explaining how they are being managed and mitigated; and  
  the directors’ explanation in the Directors’ Viability Statement of how they have assessed the prospects of the Group, over what period they 
have done so and why they considered that period to be appropriate, and their statement as to whether they have a reasonable expectation 
that the Group will be able to continue in operation and meet its liabilities as they fall due over the period of their assessment, including any 
related disclosures drawing attention to any necessary qualifications or assumptions.  

Under the Listing Rules we are required to review the Directors’ Viability Statement. We have nothing to report in this respect.

Corporate governance disclosures  
We are required to report to you if: 

  we have identified material inconsistencies between the knowledge we acquired during our financial statements audit and the directors’ 
statement that they consider that the annual report and financial statements taken as a whole is fair, balanced and understandable and 
provides the information necessary for shareholders to assess the Group’s position and performance, business model and strategy; or  
  the section of the annual report describing the work of the Group Audit Committee does not appropriately address matters communicated  

by us to the Group Audit Committee.  

We are required to report to you if the Corporate Governance Statement does not properly disclose a departure from the eleven provisions  
of the UK Corporate Governance Code specified by the Listing Rules for our review.  

We have nothing to report in these respects. 

6 We have nothing to report on the other matters on which we are required to report by exception  
Under the Companies Act 2006, we are required to report to you if, in our opinion:  

  adequate accounting records have not been kept by the Parent Company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from 

branches not visited by us; or  

  the Parent Company financial statements and the part of the Directors’ Remuneration Report to be audited are not in agreement with the 

accounting records and returns; or  

  certain disclosures of directors’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or  
  we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.  

We have nothing to report in these respects.  

7 Respective responsibilities  
Directors' responsibilities  
As explained more fully in their statement set out on page 130, the directors are responsible for: the preparation of the financial statements 
including being satisfied that they give a true and fair view; such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of 
financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; assessing the Group and Parent Company’s ability to 
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern; and using the going concern basis of accounting unless 
they either intend to liquidate the Group or the Parent Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.  

Auditor's responsibilities  
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, 
whether due to fraud or other irregularities (see below), or error, and to issue our opinion in an auditor’s report. Reasonable assurance is a high 
level of assurance, but does not guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when 
it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud, other irregularities or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could 
reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial statements.  

A fuller description of our responsibilities is provided on the FRC's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities.

Old Mutual plc 
Annual Report and Accounts 2017  

Irregularities – ability to detect 
We identified areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements from out sector 
experience, through discussion with the directors and other management (as required by auditing standards), and from inspection of the Group’s 
regulatory, and legal correspondence.  

We had regard to laws and regulations in areas that directly affect the financial statements including financial reporting (including related company 
legislation) and taxation legislation. We considered the extent of compliance with those laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the 
related financial statement items.  

In addition we considered the impact of laws and regulations in the specific areas of regulatory capital and liquidity, conduct and financial crime 
recognising the financial and regulated nature of the Group’s activities. With the exception of any known or possible non-compliance, and as 
required by auditing standards, our work in respect of these was limited to enquiry of directors and other management and inspection of regulatory 
correspondence. We considered the effect of any known or possible non-compliance in these areas as part of our procedures on the related 
financial statement items. 

We communicated identified laws and regulations throughout our team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the 
audit. This included communication from the Group to component audit teams with a request to report on any instances of non-compliance with 
laws and regulations including illegal acts at the component or Group level. 

As with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, 
misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. 

8 The purpose of our audit work and to whom we owe our responsibilities  
This report is made solely to the Company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit 
work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report 
and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and 
the Company’s members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Annual Report and Accounts 2017  

Basis of preparation of adjusted operating profit (AOP) 

Purpose of AOP 
Adjusted operating profit (AOP) is an Alternative Profit Measure used alongside IFRS profit to assess underlying business performance.  
It is a non-IFRS measure of profitability that reflects the Directors’ view of the underlying long-term performance of the Group.  
The calculation of AOP adjusts the IFRS profit for a number of items as detailed in note C1.  

AOP is one of the key performance indicators by which operational performance is monitored and managed, and it is one of a range  
of measures by which management performance and remuneration is assessed. Further detail of the performance measures applied  
in determining management remuneration is available in the remuneration report in pages 97 to 128 of the 2017 Annual Report  
and Accounts. 

Management believes that AOP is an appropriate alternative basis by which to assess the underlying operating results of these 
businesses and the Group as a whole and that it enhances the comparability and understanding of the financial performance of the Group. 
The adjustments applied to the IFRS profit of the Group in order to calculate AOP remove the impact of strategic activity, fluctuation in 
shareholder revalued investments, certain IFRS accounting treatments, significant one-off expenses related to implementing managed 
separation, resolution of pre-existing plc Head Office items and actions to provide customer redress in light of the recommendations of  
the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) thematic review in the United Kingdom.  

The adjustments to IFRS profit intends to remove the impact of strategic activities and include the exclusion of the impairment of goodwill, 
the impact of accounting for intangible assets acquired in a business combination, costs related to completed acquisitions, impairments  
of investments in associated undertakings and the profit or loss on disposal of subsidiaries. Further detail can be found in notes C1(b)  
and C1(c).  

The adjustment to reflect long-term shareholder investment returns is described in note C1(d). A description of the adjustment to exclude 
fair value gains and losses on Group debt instruments is included in note C1(h). More details on the revaluations of put options related to 
long-term incentive schemes in IAM is included in note C1(g). 

Certain IFRS accounting treatments that are not deemed to be reflective of the underlying operating performance of the business are 
excluded from the determination of AOP. These include the inclusion of dividends declared to holders of perpetual preferred callable 
securities (note C1(f)), short-term fluctuations in investment return on shareholder assets (note C1(d)) and the inclusion of returns on 
investments held by life and consolidated investment funds in Group equity and debt instruments (note C1(e)). 

Old Mutual Wealth business transformation costs related to the development of Old Mutual Wealth platform capability and outsourcing  
of UK business administration and continue to be excluded from AOP. These costs are excluded from AOP because management is  
of the view that this investment in operational capability is capital in nature, and is not reflective of the long-term cost. (note C1(k)). 

The Group Audit Committee regularly reviews the approach to determining AOP to confirm that it remains an appropriate basis on which 
to analyse the operating performance of the businesses. The Committee assesses refinements to the policy on a case-by-case basis,  
and where possible the Group seeks to minimise such changes and maintain consistency over time.

Changes in AOP policy during the year 
For the year ended 31 December 2017, managed separation and business standalone costs recognised in the IFRS income statement 
have been excluded from the calculation of AOP on the basis that these items are one-off in nature and are not reflective of the underlying 
operating activity of the Group. These costs include the cost of winding down the plc Head Office, preparing the businesses for being 
standalone businesses and transaction advice. Comparative information has not been re-presented in respect of similar costs incurred 
during the year ended 31 December 2016 totalling £31 million. Further disclosure on managed separation costs is included in note C1(i)  
of these financial statements. 

For the year ended 31 December 2017, income/(expenses) from resolution of pre-existing plc Head Office items recognised in the IFRS 
income statement have been excluded from the calculation of AOP. These items are one-off in nature and are not reflective of the 
underlying operating activity of the Group. Comparative information has not been re-presented (2016: £nil). Further disclosure of the 
income/(expenses) related to resolution of pre-existing plc Head Office items is included in note C1(j). 

As detailed in note F5, the Group has provided £69 million (2016: £nil) in respect of voluntary customer remediation following the 
recommendations of a thematic review by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). The provision for these costs has been recognised  
in the IFRS consolidated statement of financial position on the basis that the business is demonstrably committed to these costs.  
For the purposes of AOP, these costs have been excluded on the basis that they relate to redress for charges levied in the past,  
rather than reductions in future customer charges (note C1(l)). 

Adjusted Operating Profit per share 
Adjusted operating earnings applied in the calculation of adjusted operating earnings per share is calculated based on AOP after tax and 
non-controlling interests. It is adjusted to exclude income attributable to Black Economic Empowerment trusts of listed subsidiaries. The 
calculation of the adjusted weighted average number of shares includes own shares held in policyholders’ funds and Black Economic 
Empowerment trusts.

Accounting policy elections 
The following significant accounting policy elections have been made by the Group: 

Property and equipment  

  Land and buildings are stated at revalued amounts. Revaluation surpluses are 

Investment in venture capital divisions and  
investment-linked insurance funds 

Financial instruments 

Investment properties 

Investments in subsidiaries, associate companies  
and joint arrangements 

recognised through other comprehensive income. 

  In venture capital divisions and investment-linked insurance funds, the Group 
has elected to carry associate and joint-venture entities at fair value through 
profit or loss. 

  The Group has elected to designate certain fixed-rate financial assets and 

liabilities at fair value through profit or loss to reduce an accounting mismatch.  

  Regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and 

derecognised using trade date accounting. 

  The Group has elected to recognise all investment properties at fair value,  
with changes in fair value being recognised in profit or loss for the year. 

  The Group has elected to recognise these investments at cost in the Company 

financial statements. 

Translation of foreign operations 
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated from their respective functional currencies into the Group's presentation 
currency using the year-end exchange rates, and their income and expenses using the average exchange rates for the year. Other than  
in respect of cumulative translation gains and losses up to 1 January 2004, cumulative unrealised gains or losses resulting from translation 
of functional currencies to the presentation currency are included as a separate component of shareholders' equity. To the extent that 
these gains and losses are effectively hedged, the cumulative effect of such gains and losses arising on the hedging instruments are  
also included in that component of shareholders' equity. Upon the disposal of subsidiaries the cumulative amount of exchange differences 
deferred in shareholders' equity, net of attributable amounts in relation to hedged net investments, is recognised in profit or loss. 
Cumulative translation gains and losses up to 1 January 2004, being the effective date of the Group's conversion to IFRS, were  
reset to zero.  

The exchange rates used to translate the operating results, assets and liabilities of key foreign business segments to pounds sterling are:

A2: Significant corporate activity and business changes during the year 

Acquisitions completed during the year 
Win Twice Properties (Pty) Limited and Bedford Square Properties (Pty) Limited 
On 6 October 2017, Old Mutual Life Assurance Company (South Africa) Limited (OMLAC(SA)), part of Emerging Markets, acquired 98.9% 
of Bedford Square Properties (Pty) Ltd and 96.8% of Win Twice Properties (Pty) Ltd, as these two companies own the land and buildings 
which comprises the Bedford Shopping Centre.  

The purchase price of £54 million (R900 million) has been allocated based on a provisional estimate of the fair value of assets acquired 
and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition determined in accordance with IFRS 3 'Business Combinations'. The provisional 
allocation required significant assumptions and it is possible that the preliminary estimates may change materially as the purchase price 
allocations are finalised. The transaction also includes a contingent consideration payable or receivable, based on turnover and operating 
income reaching certain milestones within twelve months of acquisition date.  

The carrying value of assets and liabilities in OMLAC(SA)'s consolidated statement of financial position on acquisition date approximates 
the fair value of these items determined by the Group. Goodwill of £4 million (R72 million) was recognised on the acquisition, which is 
attributable to expected future synergies and includes the carrying amount of the contingent consideration.

Attivo Investment Management Limited (AIM) 
On 29 March 2017, Old Mutual Wealth, completed the acquisition of 100% of the share capital of AIM, a UK based investment 
management business offering a comprehensive investment management service. 

The fair value of the total estimated consideration was £8 million, of which £4 million was cash consideration and £4 million was deferred 
for two years. The deferred consideration is included within the cost of the acquisition because it is dependent on levels of assets under 
management being maintained, with no requirement for continuing employment applied to the sellers of the business. 

The book value of total assets and total net assets of the acquired business were both less than £1 million. 

The purchase price has been allocated based on a provisional estimate of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed  
at the date of acquisition determined in accordance to IFRS 3 'Business Combinations'. The provisional allocation required significant 
assumptions and it is possible that the preliminary estimates may change materially as the purchase price allocations are finalised.  
The accounting must be finalised within 12 months of the acquisition date. 

The carrying value of assets and liabilities in AIM's statement of financial position on acquisition date approximates the fair value of these 
items determined by the Group. Other intangible assets of £7 million, relating to customer relationships, were recognised as a result of the 
acquisition. No goodwill was recognised on this transaction. 

Transaction costs incurred of £0.5m relating to the acquisition have been recognised within other operating expenses in the consolidated 
income statement, but not included within adjusted operating profit. 

Disposals completed during the year 
Sale of OM Asset Management plc (OMAM)  
During the year, the following transactions involving the Group's ownership of OMAM shares were completed: 

  on 12 May 2017, OM Group (UK) Limited (OMGUK), a wholly owned subsidiary of Old Mutual plc, sold 11.4 million OMAM shares  

to HNA Capital US at a price of $15.30 per share; 

  on 19 May 2017, following the closing of a public offering, OMGUK sold 17.3 million OMAM shares at a price of $14.55 per share. 

Pursuant to this, on 14 June 2017, the underwriters of the public offer exercised their right to purchase 2.6 million shares at the same 
price less an underwriting discount; 

  on 19 May 2017, OMAM repurchased 5.0 million ordinary shares directly from OMGUK at a price of $14.55 per share. Consequently, 

from 19 May 2017, the Group no longer considered that it held a controlling interest in OMAM. 

  on 10 November 2017, OMGUK sold 16.0 million OMAM shares to HNA Capital US at a price of $15.75 per share 
  on 18 November 2017, following the closing of a secondary public offering, OMGUK sold 6.0 million OMAM shares at a price  

of $15.50 per share. 

Following the completion of these transactions, the Group currently owns 1,000 ordinary shares in OMAM, representing 0.0008%  
of its share capital at 31 December 2017. 

The total net cash proceeds arising from these transactions, after underwriting and other transaction costs, were £667 million and  
a combined profit on disposal of £83 million, was recognised in profit or loss. Included in the profit on disposal are foreign currency 
translation reserve gains recycled to profit or loss of £151 million and the release of net investment hedge reserve losses of £182 million.  

The profit on disposal of OMAM also includes a £42million ($56 million) charge as a result of the write down of part of the original 
consideration, being the Deferred Tax Asset Deed (DTA) that it would receive from the business upon utilisation of the asset. The write 
down is due to the reduction of the US corporate tax rate and other provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the Tax Act) enacted on  
22 December 2017. There remains a possibility for further payments from OMAM of up to £33 million ($44 million) pending clarification  
of the Tax Act’s impact on the value of the DTA. Since 30 June 2017 no additional payments have been made under the DTA. In addition, 
the Group purchased insurance against the provisions of the DTA that allows OMAM to claw back amounts paid in the event that deferred 
tax assets are not recovered by the OMAM business. 

Sale of Kotak Mahindra Old Mutual Life Insurance Limited (Kotak) 
On 13 October 2017, the Group completed the sale of its 26% stake in Kotak to its joint venture partner Kotak Mahindra Bank Limited.  
The net consideration was approximately INR 11,700 million (£138 million). The conclusion of the transaction also terminated the joint 
venture arrangement, extinguishing the respective put and call option arrangements between the parties relating to a 23% stake in the 
joint venture. A profit on disposal of £81 million was recognised on the transaction. In addition, Old Mutual plc recognised a profit of  
£7 million on the cancellation of the put option it held in relation to 23% of the issued shares of Kotak.  

Disposal of Old Mutual Wealth Italy 
On 9 January 2017, the Group completed the disposal of Old Mutual Wealth Italy, part of the Old Mutual Wealth business for cash 
consideration of £210 million, net of transaction costs. The profit on disposal was £24 million, comprising a gain of £5 million relating  
to the unwind of a forward currency contract used to hedge the value of the proceeds to be received and a gain of £19 million from the 
recycling of foreign currency reserves. Merger reserves of £104 million created on the original acquisition of Old Mutual Wealth Italy were 
transferred to retained earnings and became distributable. During 2016, an impairment of £46 million was incurred against the carrying 
value of Old Mutual Wealth Italy's goodwill to reflect the expected realisable value.

Other activities during the year 
Old Mutual plc Legacy Pension Schemes 
During the year, bulk annuity arrangements for two legacy defined benefit schemes, the Old Mutual Staff Pension Fund and the G&N 
Retirement Benefits Scheme, were agreed with Legal & General Assurance Society Limited. The agreements resulted in the buy-in of the 
benefits of the two schemes with effect from 13 June 2017. This was converted to a full buy-out into individual annuity policies in October 
2017 and wind-up of both schemes completed on 30 November 2017.  

In order to effect the transaction, Old Mutual plc made a one off contribution of £27 million into the two schemes, which together with 
derecognising of the combined existing surplus for the schemes, resulted in a £57 million charge in the consolidated statement of 
comprehensive income.  

Old Mutual plc no longer has any liability in respect of these two schemes, including administration and funding. Old Mutual plc had 
previously been contributing £7 million of cash funding annually to the two schemes. 

A3: Critical accounting estimates and judgements 
In the preparation of these financial statements, the Group is required to make estimates and judgements that affect items reported  
in the consolidated income statement, statement of financial position, other primary statements and related supporting notes. 

Critical accounting estimates and judgements are those which involve the most complex or subjective judgements or assessments.  
Where applicable the Group applies estimation and assumption setting techniques that are aligned with relevant actuarial and accounting 
guidance based on knowledge of the current situation. This requires assumptions and predictions of future events and actions. There have 
been no significant methodology changes to the critical accounting estimates and judgements that the Group applied at 31 December 
2016. The significant accounting policies are described in the relevant notes. 

In the current year, the Group applied significant judgement determining whether Nedbank and Old Mutual Wealth should be classified  
as discontinued operations and as assets and liabilities held for sale and distribution. However, these classifications did not have any 
valuation impact on the underlying assets and liabilities. Refer to note A4 for more information. 

The key areas of the Group's business that typically require such estimates and the relevant accounting policies and notes are as follows: 

Area 
Valuation of financial assets and liabilities 
Loans and advances 
Life assurance contract provisions 
Intangible assets and goodwill 
Investments in subsidiaries and associated undertakings and joint ventures

Annual Report and Accounts 2017  

A4.2.1: Impairment testing relating to the assets held for sale and distribution 
At 31 December 2017, no impairment losses have been recognised for the Nedbank and Old Mutual Wealth businesses, which have been 
classified and presented as discontinued operations in the consolidated income statement and as held for distribution in the consolidated 
statement of financial position in terms of the requirements of IFRS 5 'Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations'. 
This reflects the fact that fair value less cost to distribute of each business was determined to be in excess of the carrying value of each 
business at 31 December 2017. 

The fair value less cost to distribute of Nedbank was determined by reference to its quoted market price and the ZAR/GBP foreign 
exchange rate as at 31 December 2017. At 31 December 2017, the fair value less cost to distribute exceeded the carrying value of 
Nedbank. The Group therefore concluded that goodwill and other intangible assets related to the Nedbank are not impaired. The fair  
value less cost to distribute of Old Mutual Wealth is not observable in a quoted active market and accordingly it has been determined by 
reference to external broker valuation reports and an internal valuation performed for goodwill impairment testing. As such, the conclusion 
of this matter has required significant judgement and the use of estimates. 

At 31 December 2017, the Group has concluded that the fair value less costs to distribute exceeded the carrying value of Old Mutual 
Wealth and therefore no impairment losses of goodwill and other intangible assets have been recognised. 

In addition, no other impairments for property, plant and equipment, investment properties or other intangible assets have been recognised 
as a result of classifying these businesses as held for distribution.  

A4.2.2: Analysis of other held for sale assets and liabilities 
The following provides details of other significant held for sale assets and liabilities not analysed elsewhere in these consolidated financial 
statements: 

Emerging Markets 
Current and prior year 
At 31 December 2017, Emerging Markets classified as held for sale investment properties with a carrying value of £43 million (December 
2016: £116 million) as it is expected that they will be sold within 12 months of the reporting date. Transfer of these properties is expected 
to complete within the next 12 months of the reporting date. 

Nedbank 
Current and prior year 
Following an internal review of its own office space requirements, at 31 December 2017, Nedbank classified as held for sale buildings with 
a carrying value of £23 million (2016: £17 million) that are no longer required and which are being marketed for sale. 

Old Mutual Wealth 
On 19 December 2017, the Group announced that it has agreed to sell the Single Strategy asset management business of Old Mutual 
Wealth to the Single Strategy Management team and funds managed by TA Associates. The proposed transaction is subject to customary 
closing conditions, including regulatory approvals and conditions relating to the transfer of the Multi-asset business to be retained by Old 
Mutual Wealth. At 31 December 2017, the related assets and liabilities have been classified as held for sale. Refer to note A2 for more 
information. 

No impairment loss was recognised in profit or loss for the year ended 31 December 2017, as the expected net proceeds of in the region 
of £600 million is in excess of the fair value of less cost to sell. 

Prior year 
On 9 August 2016, the Group announced that it had agreed to sell Old Mutual Wealth Italy, part of the Old Mutual Wealth business, to 
ERGO Italia (now renamed Phlavia Investimenti), subject to regulatory approval. From this date the business was disclosed as held for 
sale. The principal financial assets and liabilities included within these amounts were investments and securities of £6,189 million and 
investment contract liabilities of £6,164 million, all of which were classified as Level 1 in terms of the fair value hierarchy. 

A goodwill impairment loss of £46 million was recognised in profit or loss for the year ended 31 December 2016 as the net asset value  
of the business exceeded the net proceeds. The sale was completed on 9 January 2017.  

Institutional Asset Management 
Current and prior year 
On 9 March 2016, the Group announced its managed separation strategy, which included the phased reduction of its majority stake in  
OM Asset Management plc (OMAM), part of the Institutional Asset Management segment. As such, the assets and liabilities of OMAM 
were classified as held for sale at 31 December 2016.  

At 31 December 2016, the market value of the Group's investment in OMAM, based on its quoted share price, was £863 million, 
compared to a carrying value of £602 million. The Group therefore concluded that the goodwill related to OMAM was not impaired. 

At 31 December 2017, the Group held 1,000 shares in OMAM. Refer to note A2 for more information.

IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments' 
IFRS 9: 'Financial Instruments' (IFRS 9) was issued in July 2014 and will replace IAS 39: Financial Instruments: Recognition and 
Measurement. The standard is effective and will be implemented by the Group from 1 January 2018. The final version of this standard 
incorporates amendments to the classification and measurement, hedge accounting guidance, as well as the accounting requirements  
for the impairment of financial assets measured at amortised cost and fair value through other comprehensive income. IFRS 7's enhanced 
disclosure requirements, as a result of the adoption if IFRS 9, will result in improved credit risk disclosures and increased transparency 
with respect to impairment judgements and estimates. 

The business that is most impacted by the implementation of IFRS 9 is Nedbank, which has been classified as held for distribution  
at 31 December 2017. 

As permitted by the transitional provisions of IFRS 9, the Group has elected not to restate comparative figures. Any adjustments to the 
carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities at the date of transition will be recognised in the opening retained earnings and 
other reserves at 1 January 2018. The Group has elected to continue to apply the hedge accounting requirements of IAS 39 on adoption 
of IFRS 9. Furthermore, on the adoption of IFRS 9, the Group has adopted the amendment to IFRS 9 'Prepayment Features with 
Negative Compensation'. 

Classification and measurement 
Financial assets are classified based on (i) the business model within which the financial assets are held and managed and (ii) the 
contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets, whether the cash flows represent 'solely payments of principal and interest'.  

Financial assets are measured at amortised cost if they are held within a business model whose objective is to hold those assets for the 
purpose of collecting contractual cashflows and those cashflows comprise solely payments of principal and interest ('hold to collect' 
business model).  

Financial assets are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) if they are held within a business model  
whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cashflows and selling financial assets and those contractual cashflows comprise 
solely payments of principal and interest ('hold to collect and sell' business model'). Movements in the carrying amount of these financial 
assets should be taken through other comprehensive income (OCI), except for impairment gains or losses, interest revenue and foreign 
exchange gains or losses, which are recognised in profit or loss. Where the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or  
loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from equity to profit or loss.  

The remaining financial assets are measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL). All derivative instruments that are either financial 
assets or financial liabilities will continue to be classified as held for trading and measured at fair value through profit or loss.  

The accounting for financial liabilities is largely unchanged, except for financial liabilities designated at FVTPL. Changes in the fair  
value of these financial liabilities that are attributable to the Group's own credit risk are recognised in OCI. Where the financial liability  
is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is not reclassified from equity to profit or loss. However,  
it may be reclassified within equity.  

For equity investments that are neither held for trading nor contingent consideration, the Group may irrevocably elect to present 
subsequent changes in fair value of these equity investments in other comprehensive income (OCI). Where the equity investment  
is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is not reclassified from equity to profit or loss. However,  
it may be reclassified within equity. Alternatively where the Group does not make the aforementioned election, fair value changes  
are recognised in profit or loss. This election is made on an investment by investment basis. 

On the initial application of IFRS 9, an entity may revoke its previous designation of financial assets and financial liabilities measured at  
fair value through profit or loss (fair value option) with the loans being reclassified into amortised cost or FVOCI depending on the entity's 
business model for the asset.

The current estimates of the impact of the implementation of the IFRS 9 classification and measurement requirements decreases reserves 
at 1 January 2018 by approximately £27 million, £12 million of which relating to the businesses classified as held for distribution and  
£15 million relating to the continuing businesses. 

Ongoing work is continuing in the group to finalise the implementation of classification and measurement. Therefore, these estimates  
are based on current information available and accounting policies, assumptions, judgements and estimation techniques which will be 
regularly reviewed and assessed during the year in preparation for the financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2018. 

The impact of the adoption in the standards is not expected to result in the capital ratios of the businesses being below their  
statutory minimum. 

IFRS 15 'Revenue from Contracts with Customers' 
IFRS 15 'Revenue from Contracts with Customers' (IFRS 15)replaces all existing revenue requirements in IFRS and applies to all revenue 
arising from contracts with clients, unless the contracts are in the scope of the standards on leases, insurance contracts and financial 
instruments. The standard is effective and will be implemented by the Group from 1 January 2018. The Group has applied the standard 
retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initial application recognised in opening retained earnings at 1 January 2018 and accordingly 
the Group will not restate comparative figures. 

The core principle of the standard is that revenue recognised reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled  
in exchange for the transfer of promised goods or services to the client. The standard incorporates a five-step analysis to determine  
the amount and timing of revenue recognition. 

Nedbank performed an assessment to determine the impact of the new standard on the Group's statement of financial position and 
performance, which has to date resulted in the measurement of the Group's customer loyalty programmes being reviewed.  

Nedbank has concluded that loyalty points awarded to clients represent consideration payable to our customer's customer in terms of 
IFRS 15's guidance. IFRS 15 requires revenue to be decreased by the amount expected to be payable to customers, which is recognised 
as a liability until payment is affected. The liability for the amount expected to be paid to customers under the loyalty programme increases 
by approximately £18 million on transition and £13 million on an after-tax basis.  

Based on a high level evaluation by the other businesses the Group has assessed that there should be no material impacts on the 
adoption of the standard although this work, principally in the asset management business, is ongoing.  

IFRS 16 'Leases' 
IFRS 16 'Leases' (IFRS 16) was issued in January 2016 and replaces IAS 17 Leases and its related interpretations for reporting periods 
beginning on or after 1 January 2019. All of the Group's businesses will be impacted by the adoption of IFRS 16. 

The Group as lessee: IFRS 16 introduces a 'right of use' model whereby the lessee recognises a right-of-use asset and an associated 
financial obligation to make lease payments for all leases with a term of more than 12 months. The asset will be amortised over the lease 
term and the financial liability measured at amortised cost with interest recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest rate method. 

The Group as lessor: IFRS 16 substantially carries forward the lessor accounting requirements in IAS 17. Accordingly, a lessor continues 
to classify and account for its leases as operating leases or finance leases. 

The Group is in the process of assessing the impact of IFRS 16 and which transitional approach it will follow. 

IFRS 17 'Insurance Contracts' 
The IASB issued IFRS 17 'Insurance Contracts' (IFRS 17) in May 2017 as a replacement for IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts. The adoption  
of this standard will primarily impact the Emerging Markets and Old Mutual Wealth businesses. 

The new IFRS 17 standard is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2021. The new rules will affect the financial 
statements and key performance indicators of all entities in the Group that issue insurance contracts or investment contracts with 
discretionary participation features.  

The Group will commence assessing the impact of IFRS 17 during 2018.

The consolidated income statement for the year ended 31 December 2016 has been restated for the reallocation of other operating and 
administrative expenses to fee and commission expenses, and other acquisition costs. This restatement had no impact on the net assets 
or equity attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Group. 

Assessment of performance 
The Group's segmental results are analysed and reported on a basis consistent with the way that management and the Board of Old 
Mutual plc assesses performance of the underlying businesses and allocates resources. Information is presented to the Board on a 
consolidated basis in pounds sterling (the presentation currency) and in the functional currency of each business.  

Adjusted operating profit is one of the key measures reported to the Group's management and Board of directors for their consideration in 
the allocation of resources to, and the review of, the performance of the segments. As appropriate to the business line, the Board reviews 
additional measures to assess the performance of each of the segments. These typically include sales, net client cash flows, funds under 
management, gross earned premiums, underwriting results, net interest income, non-interest revenue and credit losses.  

Consistent with internal reporting, assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses that are not directly attributable to a particular segment are 
allocated between segments where appropriate and where there is a reasonable basis for doing so. The Group accounts for inter-segment 
revenues and transfers as if the transactions were with third parties at current market prices.  

Revenues generated by the segments 
The revenues generated in each reported segment can be seen in the analysis of profits and losses in note B3. The segmental information 
in notes B3 and B4, reflects the adjusted and IFRS measures of profit or loss and the assets and liabilities for each operating segment as 
provided to management and the Board of directors. There are no differences between the measurement of the assets and liabilities 
reflected in the primary statements and that reported for the segments.  

The Group is primarily engaged in the following business activities from which it generates revenue: life assurance (premium income), 
asset management (fee and commission income), banking (banking interest receivable and investment banking income) and property  
& casualty (premium income). Other revenue includes gains and losses on investment securities. An analysis of segment revenues  
and expenses and the Group's revenues and expenses is shown in note B3. 

The principal lines of business from which each operating segment derives its revenues are as follows: 

Core operations, continuing businesses:  
  Emerging Markets – life assurance, property & casualty, asset management and banking 

Core operations, discontinued businesses:  
  Nedbank – banking, asset management and life assurance 
  Old Mutual Wealth – life assurance and asset management 
  Institutional Asset Management – asset management 

Non-core operations, continuing businesses: 
Old Mutual Bermuda – life assurance

(d) Short-term fluctuations in investment return 
Profit before tax, as disclosed in the consolidated IFRS income statement, includes actual investment returns earned on the shareholder 
assets of the Group's life assurance and property & casualty businesses. AOP is stated after recalculating shareholder asset investment 
returns based on a long-term investment return rate. The difference between the actual and the long-term investment returns is referred  
to as the short-term fluctuation in investment return. 

Long-term rates of investment return are based on achieved rates of return appropriate to the underlying asset base, adjusted for current 
inflation expectations, default assumptions, costs of investment management and consensus economic investment forecasts. The 
underlying rates are principally derived with reference to 10-year government bond rates, cash and money market rates and an explicit 
equity risk premium for South African businesses. The rates set out below reflect the apportionment of underlying investments in cash 
deposits, money market instruments and equity assets. Long-term rates of return are reviewed annually by the Board. The Board's review 
of the long-term rates of return seeks to ensure that the returns credited to AOP are consistent with the actual returns expected to be 
earned over the long-term. 

For Emerging Markets, the return is applied to an average value of investible shareholders' assets, adjusted for net fund flows.  
For Old Mutual Wealth, the return is applied to average investible assets.

For the year ended 31 December 2017, income/(expense) from resolution of plc Head Office pre-existing items recognised in the IFRS 
income statement have been excluded from the calculation of AOP. These items relate to the crystallisation of plc Head Office pre-existing 
matters and the related income and costs are deemed not to be reflective of the underlying operating activity of the Group.

Expenses of £20 million were incurred on insuring and de-risking certain indemnities associated with businesses previously owned by the 
Group. In addition, costs of £7 million were incurred in disposing of the Group’s captive insurance entitiy which covered plc Head Office 
and subsidiary companies.  

No amounts related to the resolution of plc Head Office pre-existing items were recorded in the comparative period. 

(k) Old Mutual Wealth business transformation costs 
In 2013, Old Mutual Wealth UK business embarked on a significant programme to develop new platform capabilities and to outsource  
UK business administration. This involved replacing many aspects of the existing UK platform, and on completion the outsourcing of 
associated business processing under a long-term outsourcing agreement. Contracts related to the UK Platform Transformation with  
IFDS and DST were ended by mutual agreement effective as of 2 May 2017. At the same time, Old Mutual Wealth announced a  
contract with FNZ to complete the delivery the UK Platform Transformation Programme.  

Under IFRS requirements, these costs and the costs of decommissioning existing technology and migrating of services to FNZ are 
included in IFRS profit or loss. However, long-term costs that are directly attributable to the programme are excluded from AOP on  
the basis that this significant near term investment relates to a fundamental reorganisation of the business and is not reflective of the 
underlying costs of the business. 

For the year ended 31 December 2017, platform transformation costs totalled £74 million (year ended 31 December 2016: £102 million).  

(l) Voluntary customer remediation provision 
As detailed in note H5, the Group has provided £69 million (2016: £nil) in respect of voluntary customer remediation following the 
recommendations of a thematic review by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). The provision has been recognised in the IFRS 
consolidated statement of financial position on the basis that the business is demonstrably committed to these costs. For the purposes  
of AOP, these costs have been excluded on the basis that they relate to redress for charges levied in the past, rather than reductions  
in future customer charges.

Old Mutual plc 
Annual Report and Accounts 2017  

The total dividend paid to ordinary equity holders is calculated using the number of shares in issue at the record date less own shares held 
in ESOP trusts, life funds of Group entities, Black Economic Empowerment trusts and related undertakings. 

As a consequence of the exchange control arrangements in place in certain African territories, dividends to ordinary equity holders on the 
branch registers of those countries (or, in the case of Namibia, the Namibian section of the principal register) are settled through Dividend 
Access Trusts established for that purpose. 

A second interim dividend of 3.57 pence (or its equivalent in other applicable currencies) per ordinary share in the Company has been 
declared by the directors. The second interim dividend will be paid on 30 April 2018 to shareholders on the register at the close of 
business on 6 April 2018. The dividend will absorb an estimated £171 million of shareholders' funds. 

On 3 February 2017, all of the Group's outstanding perpetual preferred callable securities were redeemed. At this date a final dividend 
payment of £15 million was made to the holders of the securities.  

D: Other consolidated income statement notes 
Except where otherwise indicated, other consolidated income statement notes, included in section D, are presented for continuing 
operations only. Following the classification of Nedbank and Old Mutual Wealth as discontinued operations, on 31 December 2017,  
as described in note A4, the income statement line items attributable to these businesses have been represented in a single line in the 
consolidated income statement. Unless expressly stated otherwise, the comparative information in the consolidated income statement  
and the related notes have been re-presented in accordance with the requirements of IFRS, to exclude discontinued operations.  

D1: Income tax expense 
This note analyses separately, the income tax expense recognised in profit or loss for the year from both continuing and discontinued 
operations and the various factors that have contributed to the composition of the charge for both continuing and discontinued operations.  

Current tax 
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the 
reporting date, and includes any adjustment to income tax payable in respect of previous years. 

Deferred tax 
Deferred taxation is provided using the temporary difference method. Temporary differences are differences between the carrying 
amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their tax base. The amount of deferred taxation provided is based on 
the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities using tax rates enacted or substantively 
enacted at the reporting date in the specific jurisdiction. Deferred taxation is charged to profit or loss except to the extent that it relates  
to a transaction that is recognised directly in other comprehensive income, or a business combination that is an acquisition. The effect on 
deferred taxation of any changes in tax rates is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items previously charged 
or credited directly to other comprehensive income. A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future 
taxable income will be available, against which the unutilised tax losses and deductible temporary differences can be used. Deferred tax 
assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefits will be realised. 

In certain circumstances, as permitted by accounting guidance, deferred tax balances are not recognised. In particular where the  
liability relates to the initial recognition of goodwill, or transactions that are not a business combination and at the time of their occurrence 
affect neither accounting nor taxable profit. Note H7 includes further detail of circumstances in which the Group does not recognise 
temporary differences. 

Critical accounting estimates and judgements – Income tax 
Income tax on the profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in profit or loss except to  
the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in other comprehensive income or equity, in which case it is recognised in other 
comprehensive income and the statement of changes in equity respectively. 

The Group is subject to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions and the calculation of the Group's tax charge and worldwide provisions 
for income tax necessarily involves a degree of estimation and judgement. At any given time the Group typically has a number of open 
tax returns with various tax authorities and engages in active dialogue to resolve this. Taxation provisions relating to these open items 
are recognised based on the Group's estimate of the most likely outcome, after taking into account external advice where appropriate. 
Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded such differences will impact profit 
or loss, current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities in the period such determination is made.

Third-party interest in consolidation of funds 
Third-party interests in consolidation of funds are measured at the proportionate share of the fair value of the net assets of each fund. 

Amounts owed to bank depositors 
The fair values of amounts owed to bank depositors correspond with the carrying amount shown in the consolidated statement of financial 
position, which generally reflects the amount payable on demand. 

(a) Determination of fair value continued 
Borrowed funds 
The fair values of amounts included in borrowed funds are based on quoted market prices at the reporting date where applicable,  
or by reference to quoted prices of similar instruments. 

Other financial assets and liabilities 
The fair values of other financial assets and liabilities (comprising cash and cash equivalents; cash with central banks; trade, other 
receivables and other assets; and trade, other payables and other liabilities) reasonably approximate their carrying amounts as included  
in the consolidated statement of financial position as they are short-term in nature or re-priced to current market rates frequently.  

(b) Fair value hierarchy 
Fair values are determined according to the following hierarchy. 

Description of hierarchy 

Types of instruments classified in the respective levels 

Level 1 – quoted market prices: financial assets and liabilities with 
quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. 

Level 2 – valuation techniques using observable inputs: financial 
assets and liabilities with quoted prices for similar instruments in 
active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments  
in inactive markets and financial assets and liabilities valued using 
models where all significant inputs are observable. 

Level 3 – valuation techniques using significant unobservable  
inputs: financial assets and liabilities valued using valuation 
techniques where one or more significant inputs  
are unobservable. 

Listed equity securities, listed government securities and other  
listed debt securities and similar instruments that are actively traded, 
actively traded pooled investments, certain quoted derivative assets 
and liabilities, listed borrowed funds, reinsurers’ share of policyholder 
liabilities and investment contract liabilities directly  
linked to other Level 1 financial assets. 

Unlisted equity and debt securities where the valuation is based on 
models involving no significant unobservable data, with a majority 
determined with reference to observable prices.  

Certain loans and advances, certain privately placed debt 
instruments, third-party interests in consolidated funds and amounts 
owed to bank depositors. 

Unlisted equity and securities with significant unobservable inputs, 
securities where the market is not considered sufficiently active, 
including certain inactive pooled investments, and derivatives 
embedded in certain portfolios of insurance contracts where  
the derivative is not closely related to the host contract and  
the valuation contains significant unobservable inputs. 

The judgement as to whether a market is active may include, for example, consideration of factors such as the magnitude and frequency 
of trading activity, the availability of prices and the size of bid/offer spreads. In inactive markets, obtaining assurance that the transaction 
price provides evidence of fair value or determining the adjustments to transaction prices that are necessary to measure the fair value of 
the asset or liability requires additional work during the valuation process. All businesses have significant processes in place to perform 
reviews of the appropriateness of the valuation of Level 3 instruments. 

The majority of valuation techniques employ only observable data and so the reliability of the fair value measurement is high. However, 
certain financial assets and liabilities are valued on the basis of valuation techniques that feature one or more significant inputs that  
are unobservable and, for them, the derivation of fair value is more judgemental. A financial asset or liability in its entirety is classified  
as valued using significant unobservable inputs if a significant proportion of that asset or liability's carrying amount is driven by 
unobservable inputs. 

In this context, 'unobservable' means that there is little or no current market data available for which to determine the price at which  
an arm's length transaction would be likely to occur. It generally does not mean that there is no market data available at all upon which  
to base a determination of fair value. Furthermore, in some cases the majority of the fair value derived from a valuation technique  
with significant unobservable data may be attributable to observable inputs. Consequently, the effect of uncertainty in determining 
unobservable inputs will generally be restricted to uncertainty about the overall fair value of the asset or liability being measured. 

The determination of the fair value on an instrument does not necessarily represent the price that the Group accept for the sale of the 
instrument or the price the Group would pay to exit the liability.  

(c) Transfer between fair value hierarchies 
The Group deems a transfer to have occurred between Level 1 and Level 2 when an active, traded primary market ceases to exist for that 
financial instrument. A transfer between Level 2 and Level 3 occurs when the majority of the significant inputs used to determine fair value 
of the instrument become unobservable.

  loans and advances of £801 million that were presented as held-for-trading assets (Level 2) were reclassified as loans and receivables;  
  loans and advances of £197 million that were presented as designated at fair value through profit or loss (Level 2) were reclassified as loans and receivables; 
  investments and securities of £46 million that were presented as held-for-trading (Level 2) were reclassified as designated at fair value through profit or loss (Level 2); 
  investments and securities of £270 million that were presented as designated at fair value through profit or loss (Level 1) were reclassified as Level 2.

All the business segments have performed analysis of the impact of reasonable possible assumptions for unobservable inputs based on 
the specific characteristics of each instrument. As all the changes in the assumptions are unique to each instrument the disclosure of the 
range of changes in the assumptions would not provide the reader of the financial statements with any additional useful information as this 
is general information and does not relate to a specific instrument.

E4: Financial instruments designated as fair value through profit or loss 
Certain items in the Group's statement of financial position that would otherwise be categorised as loans and receivables under IAS 39 
have been designated as fair value through profit or loss. Information relating to the change in fair value of these items as it relates to 
credit risk is shown in the table below.  

Consistent with the requirements of accounting standards, the comparative period has not been re-presented for assets and liabilities 
classified as held for sale and distribution. The comparative information presented at 31 December 2017, therefore includes financial 
instruments designated as fair value through profit or loss for the composition of the Group as at 31 December 2016.

The change in fair value due to a change in credit risk shown above is determined as the amount of the change in fair value of the 
instrument that is not attributable to changes in market conditions that give rise to market risk.  

For loans and receivables that have been designated as at fair value through profit or loss, individual credit spreads are determined at 
inception as the difference between the benchmark interest rate and the interest rate charged to the client. Subsequent changes in the 
benchmark interest rate and the credit spread give rise to changes in fair value of the financial instrument. Loans and advances are 
reviewed for observable changes in credit risk, and the credit spread is adjusted at subsequent dates if there has been an observable 
change in credit risk relating to a particular loan or advance. No credit derivatives are used to hedge the credit risk on any of the financial 
assets designated at fair value through profit or loss.  

Certain items in the Group's statement of financial position, that would otherwise be categorised as financial liabilities at amortised cost 
under IAS 39, have been designated as fair value through profit or loss. Information relating to the change in fair value of these items as it 
relates to credit risk is shown in the table below. Consistent with the requirements of accounting standards, the comparative period has not 
re-presented for assets and liabilities classified as held for sale and distribution. The comparative information therefore includes items in 
the Group's statement of financial position that would otherwise be categorised as financial liabilities at amortised cost under IAS 39 for the 
composition of the Group as at 31 December 2016.

The fair values of other categories of financial liabilities designated as fair value through profit or loss do not change significantly in respect 
of credit risk. 

The change in fair value due to credit risk of financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss has been determined as the 
difference between fair values determined using a liability curve (adjusted for credit) and a risk-free liability curve. This difference is cross-
checked to market-related data on credit spreads, where available. The basis for not using credit default swaps to determine the change  
in fair value due to credit risk is the unavailability of reliable market priced instruments.

Annual Report and Accounts 2017  

Loans and advances 
Loans and advances shown within notes E1 and E7(a) as loans and receivables in terms of IAS 39 and therefore not carried at fair value, 
principally comprise variable rate financial assets and are classified as Level 3. The interest rates on these variable rate-financial assets 
are adjusted when the applicable benchmark interest rates change. 

Loans and advances are not actively traded in most markets and it is therefore not possible to determine the fair value of these loans and 
advances using observable market prices and market inputs. Due to the unique characteristics of the loans and advances portfolio and the 
fact that there have been no recent transactions involving the disposals of such loans and advances, there is no basis to determine a price 
that could be negotiated between market participants in an orderly transaction. The Group is not currently in the position of a forced sale of 
such underlying loans and advances and it would therefore be inappropriate to value the loans and advances on a forced-sale basis. 

For specifically impaired loans and advances, the carrying value as determined after consideration of the Group's IAS 39 credit 
impairments, is considered the best estimate of fair value. 

The Group has developed a methodology and model to determine the fair value of the gross exposures for the performing loans and 
advances measured at amortised cost. This model incorporates the use of average interest rates and projected monthly cash flows per 
product type. Future cash flows are discounted using interest rates at which similar loans would be granted to borrowers with similar credit 
ratings and maturities. Inputs into the model include various assumptions utilised in the pricing of loans and advances. The determination 
of such inputs is highly subjective and therefore any change to one or more of the assumptions may result in a significant change in the 
determination of the fair value of loans and advances. 

As at 31 December 2017, all of the assets of Nedbank were transferred to assets held for sale and distribution, representing most of the 
Group's loans and advances. The remaining amount of £1,282 million is held by Emerging Markets, for which the carrying value is 
considered a reasonable approximation of the fair value. 

Borrowed funds 
Borrowed funds are shown within notes E1 and E7(a) as financial liabilities at amortised cost in terms of IAS39, and therefore not carried 
at fair value. The fair value is determined using either available market prices (Level 1), or discounted cash flow analysis where an 
instrument is not quoted or the market is considered to be inactive (Level 2). During 2017 most of the Group's borrowed funds not held  
at fair value were either redeemed or transferred to assets held for sale and distribution. 

Fair value hierarchy for items for which carrying value is considered an approximation of fair value 
Other financial assets 
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, mandatory deposits with central banks and trade, other receivables and other assets 
are considered a reasonable approximation of their respective fair values, as they are either short term in nature or are repriced to current 
market rates at frequent intervals. Trade, other receivables and other assets are classified into Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. 

Amounts owed to depositors 
Amounts owed to depositors principally comprises variable rate liabilities. The carrying value of the amounts owed to depositors 
approximates fair value because the instruments reprice to current market rates at frequent intervals. In addition, a significant portion of  
the balance is callable or is short term in nature. Amounts owed to depositors would be classified into Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. 

Other financial liabilities 
The carrying values of trade, other payables, and other liabilities are considered a reasonable approximation of their respective fair values, 
as they are either short-term in nature or are repriced to current market rates at frequent intervals. Trade, other payables and other 
liabilities would be classified into Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Persistency 
Persistency risk is the risk that policyholder surrenders, transfers or premium cessation on contracts occur at levels that are different  
to expected. 

In order to limit this risk to an acceptable level, products (including charging and commission structures) are designed to limit the financial 
loss on surrender, subject to 'Treating Customers Fairly' principles. 

Persistency statistics are monitored monthly and a detailed persistency analysis at a product level is carried out on an annual basis. 
Management actions may be triggered if statistics show significant adverse movement or emerging trends in experience. 

Expenses 
Expense risk is the risk that actual expenses and expense inflation differ from expected levels. Higher expenses and expense inflation 
may result in emerging profit falling below the Group's profit objectives. 

Expense levels are monitored quarterly against budgets and forecasts. An activity-based costing process is used to allocate costs relating 
to processes and activities to individual product lines. 

Some products' structures include maintenance charges. These charges are reviewed annually in light of changes in maintenance 
expense levels. This review may result in changes in charge levels, subject to 'Treating Customers Fairly' principles. 

Tax 
Tax risk is the risk that the projected taxation basis for basic life assurance business is incorrect, resulting in contracts being  
incorrectly priced. 

Tax risk also represents potential changes in the interpretation or application of prevailing tax legislation applicable to either policyholders 
or shareholders, resulting in higher taxes reducing profitability or increasing shareholder tax burdens. The taxation position of the 
operations is projected annually and tax changes will result in changes to new business pricing models as part of the annual control  
cycle. High risk issues and emerging trends are reported internally on a quarterly basis. 

F3: Financial risk management 
The key focus of financial risk management for the Group is ensuring that the proceeds from its financial assets are sufficient to fund the 
obligations arising from its insurance and banking operations. The most important components of financial risk are credit risk, market risk 
(arising from changes in equity, bond prices, interest and foreign exchange rates) and liquidity risk. 

(a) Credit risk 
(i) Overall exposure to credit risk 
Credit risk is defined as the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss to the Group by failing to discharge  
an obligation to repay cash or deliver another financial asset. 

Credit risk in the Group arises from a number of activities of the Group, namely banking lending, trading, investing and other activities.  
The Group has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral where appropriate,  
as a means of mitigating the financial loss from defaults. Credit risk is managed through research and analysis at the time of investment  
or granting of the loan and then continuously monitored. 

The Group is exposed to banking credit risk from lending and other financing activities, through its exposure to Nedbank and the banking 
operations within Emerging Markets business. Nedbank's lending portfolio forms a substantial part of the Group's loans and advances,  
as analysed in note G1. Credit risk represents the most significant risk type facing Nedbank, accounting for the majority of its economic 
capital requirements. Nedbank's credit risk profile is managed in terms of the credit risk management framework, which encompasses 
comprehensive credit risk policy, mandate (limits) and governance structures, and is approved by the Nedbank Board. 

The Group is exposed to the risk of credit defaults and movements in credit spreads from our insurance businesses. This includes 
counterparty default risk, which also arises mainly from reinsurance and hedging arrangements. 

The Group has limited other credit risk exposures in respect of amounts due from policyholders and intermediaries. Loans to policyholders 
are secured on the surrender value of the relevant policies.

(ii) Insurance operations 
For the Group's insurance operations, equity, property, volatility and interest rate risk exposure to capital and to earnings are quantified  
in accordance with the businesses risk appetite framework. Additional detail is provided in the Principal Risks and Uncertainties section. 

In South Africa the stock selection and investment analysis process is supported by a well-developed research function. For fixed 
annuities, market risks are managed where possible by investing in fixed interest securities with a duration closely corresponding to those 
liabilities. Market risk on policies that include guarantees where shareholders carry the investment risk, principally reside in the South 
African guaranteed non-profit annuity book, which is closely matched with gilts and semi-gilts. Other non-profit policies are also suitably 
matched based upon comprehensive investment guidelines. Market risk on with-profit policies with guarantees is managed through 
appropriate asset-liability matching, which includes hedging, as per the PPFM (Principles and Practices of Financial Management).  

In Old Mutual Wealth's unit-linked assurance operations, policyholders carry the full market risk, with the only risk to the Group being 
asset-based fee risk from charges on policyholder funds. In respect of Old Mutual Wealth's shareholders' funds, market risk is addressed 
in Old Mutual Wealth's investment policy, which provides for very limited opportunity for entities to invest their shareholder capital in 
equities and other volatile assets. 

For Old Mutual Bermuda, the market risk to shareholders post the sale of the business to Beechwood Bermuda Limited arises from the 
retention of the Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Benefits (GMABs), which is reinsured by Old Mutual (Bermuda) Re Limited until the 
last guarantee has expired in August 2018. These GMABs are US dollar denominated guarantees. The equity market risk and currency 
risk is managed through a put option hedging strategy that substantially reduces exposure to increases in GMAB funding costs.  

(iii) Banking operations 
The principal market risks arising in the Group's banking operations arise from: 

  Trading risk in Nedbank Capital and 
  Banking book interest rate risk from repricing and/or maturity mismatches between on- and off-balance sheet components in all banking 

businesses. 

A comprehensive market risk framework is used to ensure that market risks are understood and managed. Governance structures are  
in place to achieve effective independent monitoring and management of market risk. 

Banking operations – Trading risk 
Market risk exposures from trading activities at Nedbank Capital are measured using Value-at-Risk (VaR), supplemented by sensitivity 
analysis, and stress and scenario analysis. Limit structures are set accordingly. 

The VaR risk measure for Nedbank estimates the potential loss in pre-tax profit over a given holding period for a specified confidence 
level. The VaR methodology is a statistically defined, probability-based approach that takes into account market volatilities as well as risk 
diversification by recognising offsetting positions and correlations between products and markets. Risks can be measured consistently 
across all markets and products, and risk measures can be aggregated to arrive at a single risk number. The one-day 99% VaR number 
used by Nedbank represents the overnight loss that has less than 1% chance of occurring under normal market conditions. By its nature, 
VaR is only a single measure and cannot be relied upon on its own as a means of measuring and managing risk.

F4: Currency translation risk 
The Group is exposed to movements in exchange rates from changes in the sterling value of surplus assets and earnings denominated  
in foreign currencies. From a capital perspective, our capital is held where our risks are located and currency translation risk would only  
be realised if we were to require a transfer of surplus capital between regions during a period of stress. The functional currencies of the 
Group's principal overseas operations are South African rand, US dollar and euro.  

Certain of the Group's business operations may undertake activities that are not in their functional currencies. These activities, such as 
Nedbank, who has a functional currency of South African rand, lending in US dollar, are economically hedged by numerous activities such 
as the use of currency swaps, currency borrowings and forward foreign exchange contracts. 

These foreign currency translation tables below have been prepared on the basis that the values of the economic hedging instruments  
are reflected at their carrying value as opposed to their notional amounts. The table below is therefore a reflection of the foreign currency 
exposures in their respective currencies for the continuing businsesses. Consistent with the requirements of accounting standards, the 
comparative period has not been re-presented for assets and liabilities classified as held for sale and distribution. The comparative 
information presented at 31 December 2017, therefore includes the maximum exposure to credit risk for the composition of the Group  
as at 31 December 2016.

Annual Report and Accounts 2017  

F5: Liquidity risk 
Liquidity risk is the risk that cash may not be available to pay obligations when due at a reasonable cost. Ultimate responsibility for  
liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors, which has built an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for  
the management of the Group's short-, medium- and long-term funding and liquidity requirements. The Group manages liquidity by 
maintaining adequate reserves and banking facilities, continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and matching the maturity 
profiles of financial assets and liabilities. Individual businesses separately maintain and manage their local liquidity requirements according 
to their business needs, within the overall liquidity framework established by Old Mutual plc. Under the Group's managed separation 
strategy, a revised liquidity capital management policy was introduced that is designed to allow for flexibility in managing liquidity. We hold 
a buffer at Group level to support this, sufficient to withstand a liquidity survival horizon of at least 12 months. We also have a multi-year 
liquidity view over the managed separation horizon. The Group should be able to meet short-term plausible but extreme losses. As the 
businesses transition into separate entities, management will assess their day 1 liquidity requirements, and where appropriate, we will 
transition liquidity buffers currently held and funded at Old Mutual plc into the businesses. 

The Group continues to meet Group and individual entity capital requirements, and day-to-day liquidity needs through the Group's 
available cash resources and, if necessary, available credit facilities. The Group's liquid resources are held in large portfolios of highly 
marketable securities, for example listed bonds, actively traded pooled investments, equities and cash and cash equivalents. Whilst most 
of the Group's policyholder and banking liabilities are generally repayable on demand, the Group's expectation is that policyholders and 
banking depositors will only require funds on an ongoing basis. However, cash resources and other liquid assets are maintained in the 
event of a need for additional liquidity. Information on the nature of the investments and securities held is given in note G2.  

Old Mutual plc has access to a £764 million (2016: £764 million) multi-currency revolving credit facility. £73 million of the facility matures  
in August 2019, a further £73 million of the facility matures in August 2020 and the remaining £618 million of the facility matures in August 
2021. At 31 December 2017 none of this facility was drawn. Further details, together with information on the Group's borrowed funds,  
are given in note G7. 

The key information reviewed by the Group's Executive Directors and Executive Committee is a detailed management report on the 
Group's and holding company's current and planned capital and liquidity position, together with summary information on the current and 
planned liquidity positions of the Group's operating segments. Forecasts are updated regularly based on new information received and 
also as part of the Group's annual business planning cycle. The Group and holding company's liquidity and capital position and forecast 
are presented to the Old Mutual plc Board of Directors on a regular basis. Additionally the Group conducts regular stress testing around 
liquidity requirements, as referenced in the Risk Section (refer pages 58 to 69) 

Group operating segments are required, both in terms of their local requirements and in accordance with direction from the holding 
company, to establish their own processes for managing their liquidity and capital needs and these are subject to review by their local 
oversight functions, with representation from the Group. 

Further information on liquidity and the holding company cash flows is contained in the financial performance section of the Business 
Review section.  

The Group does not have material liquidity exposure to special purpose entities or investment funds. 

The contractual maturities of the Group's financial liabilities and insurance contracts are set out in notes G4, G6, G7 and G8.

1  Other loans to clients include unsecured retail lending, term loans, foreign client lending, preference shares and debentures and other loans. 

The rating scale of the loans and advances is based on local equivalent rating scales and not international scales. 

(c)(iii) Collateral 
Collateral is held as security against certain loans and advances detailed above, with this principally consisting of cash, properties and 
letters of credit. 

At 31 December 2017, the Group recognised collateral of £nil (2016: £15 million) in the consolidated statement of financial position.  
These amounts are being included in the loans and advances above as properties in possession. 

Financial collateral  
The Group takes financial collateral to support exposures in its banking and securities and lending activities. Collateral held includes  
cash and debt securities. Cash collateral is included as part of cash equivalents. These transactions are entered into under terms and 
conditions that are standard industry practice to securities borrowing and lending activities. 

Non-financial collateral  
The Group takes other non-monetary collateral to recover outstanding lending exposures in the event of the borrower being unable or 
unwilling to fulfil its obligations. This includes mortgage over property (both residential and commercial), and liens over business assets 
(including, but not limited to plant, vehicles, aircraft, inventories and trade debtors) and guarantees from parties other than the borrower. 
Where the Group is exposed to syndicated lending, the collateral offered by the borrower is secured by security special purpose vehicles. 

Should a counterparty be unable to settle its obligations, the Group takes possession of collateral as full or part settlement of such 
amounts. In general, the Group seeks to dispose of such property and other assets that are not readily convertible into cash as soon  
as the market for the relevant asset permits.

G6: Insurance and investment contracts 

Life assurance 
Classification of contracts 
Life assurance contracts are categorised into insurance contracts, contracts with a discretionary participation feature or investment 
contracts, in accordance with the classification criteria set out in the paragraphs below.  

For the Group's unit-linked assurance business, contracts are separated into an insurance component and an investment component 
(known as unbundling) and each unbundled component is accounted for separately in accordance with the accounting policy for that 
component. The treatment of these types of contracts as separate components, (unbundling), only occurs when there is a small or 
insignificant of insurance risk in the contract. Other kinds of contracts are considered and categorised as a whole. 

Contracts under which the Group accepts significant insurance risk from another party (the policyholder) by agreeing to compensate the 
policyholder or other beneficiary if a specified uncertain future event (the insured event) adversely affects the policyholder are classified as 
insurance contracts. Insurance risk is risk other than financial risk. Contracts accounted for as insurance contracts include life assurance 
contracts and savings contracts providing more than an insignificant amount of life assurance protection. 

Financial risks are the risks of a possible future change in one or more of an interest rate, security price, security index, commodity price, 
foreign exchange rate, index of prices or rates, a credit rating or credit index, or other variable, provided, in the case of a non-financial 
variable, that the variable is not specific to a party to the contract. 

Contracts with discretionary participating features are those under which the policyholder holds a contractual right to receive additional 
payments as a supplement to guaranteed minimum payments. These additional payments, the amount and timing of which is at the 
Group's discretion, represent a significant portion of the total contractual payments. These are contractually based on (i) the performance 
of a specified pool of contracts or a specified type of contract, (ii) realised and/or unrealised investment returns on a specified pool of 
assets held by the Group or (iii) the profit or loss of the Group. Investment contracts with discretionary participating features, which have 
no life assurance protection in the policy terms, are accounted for in the same manner as insurance contracts. 

Contracts under which the transfer of insurance risk to the Group from the policyholder is not significant (or there is no transfer of 
insurance risk) and where there is no discretionary participation are classified as investment contracts. Such contracts include unit-linked 
savings and/or investment contracts sold without life assurance protection and are classified as financial instruments. 

Premiums on life assurance  
Premiums and annuity considerations receivable under insurance contracts and investment contracts with a discretionary participating 
feature are stated gross of commission and exclude taxes and levies. Premiums in respect of unit-linked insurance contracts are 
recognised when the liability is established. Premiums in respect of other insurance contracts and investment contracts with a 
discretionary participating feature are recognised when due for payment.  

Outward reinsurance premiums are recognised when due for payment. 

Amounts received under investment contracts, other than those with a discretionary participating feature and unit-linked assurance 
contracts are not recorded through profit or loss, except for fee income and investment income attributable to those contracts, but are 
accounted for directly through the consolidated statement of financial position as an adjustment to investment contract liabilities. 

Claims paid on life assurance 
Claims paid under insurance contracts and investment contracts with a discretionary participating feature include maturities, annuities, 
surrenders, death and disability payments. 

Maturity and annuity claims are recorded as they fall due for payment. Death and disability claims and surrenders are accounted for in 
profit or loss when notified. 

Reinsurance recoveries in profit or loss are recognised in profit or loss in the same period as the related claim. 

Amounts paid under investment contracts other than those with a discretionary participating feature and unit-linked assurance contracts 
are recorded as reductions of the investment contract liabilities.

Acquisition costs 
Acquisition costs for insurance contracts comprise all direct and indirect costs arising from the sale of insurance contracts. 

As the gross premium valuation method used in African territories to determine insurance contract liabilities makes implicit allowance for 
the deferral of acquisition costs, no explicit deferred acquisition cost asset is recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position 
for the contracts issued in these areas. 

Deferral of costs on insurance business in other territories is limited to the extent that they are deemed recoverable from available  
future margins. 

Costs incurred in acquiring investment management service contracts 
Incremental costs that are directly attributable to securing an investment management service contract are recognised as an asset if they 
can be identified separately and measured reliably and it is probable that they will be recovered. Deferred acquisition costs represent the 
contractual right to benefit from providing investment management services and are amortised as the related revenue is recognised. Costs 
attributable to investment management service contracts in the asset management businesses are also recognised on this basis. 

Revenue on investment management service contracts 
Fees charged for investment management services provided in conjunction with an investment contract are recognised as revenue as the 
services are provided. Initial fees, which exceed the level of recurring fees and relate to the future provision of services are deferred and 
amortised over the anticipated period in which services will be provided. Fees charged for investment management service contracts by 
asset management businesses are also recognised on this basis. 

Property & casualty 
Contracts under which the Group accepts significant insurance risk from another party and which are not classified as life insurance are 
classified as property & casualty. All classes of property & casualty business are accounted for on an annual basis. 

Premiums on property & casualty 
Premiums are stated gross of commissions, exclude taxes and levies and are accounted for in the period in which the risk commences. 
The proportion of the premiums written relating to periods of risk after the reporting date is carried forward to subsequent accounting 
periods as unearned premiums as a liability, so that earned premiums relate to risks carried during the accounting period. 

Claims on property & casualty 
Claims incurred, which are recognised in profit or loss, comprise the settlement and handling costs of paid and outstanding claims arising 
during the year and adjustments to prior year claim provisions. Outstanding claims comprise claims incurred up to, but not paid, at the end 
of the accounting period, whether reported or not. 

Outstanding claims do not include any provision for possible future claims where the claims arise under contracts not in existence at the 
reporting date. 

The Group performs liability adequacy testing at a business unit level on its claim liabilities to ensure that the carrying amount of its 
liabilities (less related deferred acquisition costs and the unearned premium reserve) is sufficient in view of estimated future undiscounted 
cash flows. 

Whilst the directors consider that the gross provisions for claims and the related reinsurance recoveries are fairly stated on the basis of the 
information currently available to them, the ultimate liability will vary as a result of subsequent information and events, and may result in 
significant adjustments to the amount provided. Adjustments to the amounts of claims provisions established in prior years are reflected  
in profit or loss in the financial statements for the period in which the adjustments are made, and disclosed separately if material. The 
methods used and estimates made are reviewed regularly. 

Acquisition costs on property & casualty 
Acquisition costs, which represent commission and other related expenses, are deferred and amortised over the period in which the 
related general insurance premiums are earned.

Emerging Markets discretionary reserves 
Technical provisions in South Africa are determined as the aggregate of: 

  Best estimate liabilities, with assumptions allowing for the best estimate of future experience and a market-consistent valuation  

of financial options and guarantees 

  Compulsory margins, prescribed in terms of the Long Term Insurance Act, 1998 and South African professional actuarial  

guidance note (SAP 104) as explicit changes to actuarial assumptions that increase the level of technical provisions held, and 
  Discretionary margins, permitted by the Long Term Insurance Act, 1998 and SAP 104, to allow for the uncertainty inherent in 

estimates of future experience after considering available options of managing that experience over time, or to defer the release  
of profits consistent with policy design or company practice.  

Discretionary margins are held as either implicit or explicit margins. Explicit discretionary margins are derived as conscious changes  
to assumptions used to project future experience to increase technical provisions. Implicit discretionary margins arise where the  
method used to calculate overall technical provisions results in liabilities that are greater than the sum of best estimate liabilities  
and compulsory margins.  

Explicit discretionary margins of R8,021 million (£479 million) (1.4% of total technical provisions) were held at 31 December 2017  
(2016: R7,823 million (£461 million), 1.5% of total technical provisions). This consisted largely of: 

  Margins held for Mass Foundation Cluster protection business, which allow for the uncertainty related to mortality experience in South 
Africa, as well as future lapse experience and future investment returns, and to ensure that profit is released appropriately over the 
term of the policies 

  Margins to allow for the uncertainty inherent in the assumptions used to value financial options and guarantees, implied volatility 
assumptions in particular, which are difficult to hedge due to the short term nature of the equity option market in South Africa 

  Margins on non-profit annuities, due to the inability to fully match assets to liabilities as a result of the limited availability of long-dated 

bonds, and to provide for longevity risk, and  

  Margins for the uncertainty inherent in future economic assumptions used to calculate, mainly protection product liabilities, in the 

Retail Affluent and Mass Foundation Cluster businesses. Although interest rate hedging is used to manage interest rate risk on these 
products, the volatility of bond yields in South Africa means that it is difficult to maintain appropriate hedging positions without incurring 
significant trading costs. The discretionary margin therefore caters for the residual uncertainty present after allowing for the hedge 
programme that is in place. 

Old Mutual Bermuda guarantees 
Old Mutual Bermuda no longer owns any underlying policies or manages any policyholder funds. The Guaranteed Minimum 
Accumulation Benefits (GMAB) risk on the remaining active variable annuity contracts is to be retained until the last GMAB policy  
with a Universal Guarantee Option (UGO) rider passes its 10-year anniversary, which will be no later than August 2018. All remaining 
business operations, subject to regulatory approvals, are expected to be substantially wound down by 31 December 2018. 

Almost all of the remaining GMAB risk relates to policies sold with UGOs. Products sold with a Capital Guarantee Option (CGO) GMAB, 
a product predecessor to the UGO, hold less onerous guarantees and do not give rise to significant risk. 

The GMAB UGOs guarantee policyholders a return of 120% of invested premiums and, subject to policyholder election, also a Highest 
Anniversary Value (HAV) guarantee. These guarantees crystallize on the 10-year anniversary of policies, the remainder of which will  
be reached in 2018. The market risk attached to the GUO guarantees, and relating to equity and foreign exchange downside risks,  
is currently being managed by OTM quanto put options which covered circa 102% of the remaining equity and foreign exchange  
UGO GMAB exposures as at 31 December 2017. This slightly over-hedged position was mainly due to the higher than expected  
lapses in 2017. 

GMAB reserves have decreased from £85 million ($104 million) at 31 December 2016 to £9 million ($12 million) at 31 December 2017, 
a decrease of £76 million ($92 million), mainly due to the expiration of GMAB guarantees and favourable equity and foreign exchange 
markets in 2017.  

If the Group were to stress the underlying assets and liabilities, by adding 10% to the current level of volatility, it would increase the 
underlying assets by £2 million and increase the value of the liability by £1 million, which would result in a net profit for the Group of circa 
£1 million.  

If the Group were to stress the underlying assets and liabilities, by decreasing the current level of volatility by 10%, it would decrease  
the underlying assets £2 million and decrease the value of the liability by £1 million, which would result in a net loss for the Group of  
£1 million.

(f) Sensitivity analysis – life assurance 
Changes in key assumptions used to value insurance contracts would result in increases or decreases to the insurance contract 
provisions recorded, with impact on profit/(loss) and/or shareholders' equity. The effect of a change in assumption is mitigated by  
the offset (partial or full) to the bonus stabilisation reserve in the case of smoothed bonus products in South Africa. 

The tables below demonstrate the effect of a change in a key assumption to policyholder liabilities while other assumptions remain 
unchanged: 

At 31 December 2017

Mortality and morbidity rates – assurance 
Mortality rates – annuities 
Discontinuance rates

H: Non-financial assets and liabilities 
All non-financial assets and liabilities notes which require a movement analysis will include the information for all items, including 
movements in assets and liabilities classified as held for sale or distribution for the year. Therefore, the amounts reflected in the movement 
tables will not agree to the consolidated income statement amounts presented as the results of the discontinued operations are 
recognised on a single line in the consolidated income statement. At the end of the movement analysis, a single line item will indicate  
the value of the assets or liabilities that have been transferred to assets and liabilities held for sale or distribution.  

Consistent with the requirements of accounting standards, the comparative period has not been re-presented for non-financial assets and 
liabilities classified as held for sale and distribution. The comparative information presented at 31 December 2017, therefore includes the 
non-financial assets and liabilities for the composition of the Group as at 31 December 2016. 

H1: Goodwill and other intangible assets 
Goodwill arises on the acquisition of a business and represents the premium of the amount paid over the fair value of identifiable assets 
and liabilities. Goodwill is not amortised but is subject to annual impairment reviews. Other intangible assets include those assets which 
were initially recognised on a business combination and software development costs relate to amounts recognised for in-house systems 
development. 

(a) Goodwill and goodwill impairment 
Goodwill arising on the acquisition of a subsidiary undertaking is recognised as an asset at the date that control is achieved (the 
acquisition date). Goodwill is measured as the excess of the fair value of the consideration paid over the net of the acquisition date 
amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. If the net fair value of the acquiree's identifiable net assets exceeds 
the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the fair value of the acquirer's 
previously-held equity interest (if any), this excess is recognised immediately in profit or loss as a bargain purchase gain.  

Goodwill is not amortised, but is reviewed for impairment at least once annually. Any impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit  
or loss and is not subsequently reversed. 

On loss of control of a subsidiary undertaking, any attributable goodwill is included in the determination of any profit or loss on disposal.  
On disposal of a business, where goodwill on acquisition is allocated to the entire cash-generating unit (CGU), goodwill is allocated to the 
disposal on a relative basis. 

Goodwill is allocated to one or more CGUs, being the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely 
independent of the cash inflows from other assets or group of assets.  

(b) Present value of acquired in-force for insurance and investment contract business 
The present value of acquired in-force for insurance and investment contract business is capitalised in the consolidated statement  
of financial position as an intangible asset. 

The capitalised value is the present value of cash flows anticipated in the future from the relevant book of insurance and investment 
contract policies acquired at the date of the acquisition of a business. This is calculated by performing a cash flow projection of the 
associated life assurance fund and book of in-force policies in order to estimate future after tax profits attributable to shareholders.  
The valuation is based on actuarial principles taking into account future premium income, mortality, disease and surrender probabilities, 
together with future costs and investment returns on the assets supporting the fund. These profits are discounted at a rate of return 
allowing for the risk of uncertainty of the future cash flows. The key assumptions impacting the valuation are discount rate, future 
investment returns and the rate at which policies discontinue. 

The asset is amortised over the expected profit recognition period on a systematic basis over the anticipated lives of the related contracts. 

The amortisation charge is stated net of any unwind in the discount rate used to calculate the asset. 

The recoverable amount of the asset is re-calculated at each reporting date and any impairment losses recognised accordingly. 

(c) Other intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination 
Contractual banking and asset management customer relationships, relationships with distribution channels and similar intangible assets, 
acquired as a part of a business combination, are capitalised at their fair value, represented by the estimated net present value of the 
future cash flows from the relevant relationships acquired at the date of acquisition. 

Brands and similar items acquired as part of a business combination are capitalised at their fair value based on a 'relief from royalty' 
valuation methodology. 

Subsequent to initial recognition such acquired intangible assets, if not categorised as infinite life, are amortised on a straight-line basis 
over their estimated useful lives as set out below: 

  Distribution channels 
  Customer relationships 
  Brands  

10 years 
10 years 
15 – 20 years 

The estimated useful life is re-evaluated annually. 

Other intangible assets acquired in a business combination are impaired if the carrying value is greater than the net recoverable amount.

Critical accounting estimates and judgements – Goodwill and intangible assets 

(h) Annual impairment testing of goodwill 
In accordance with the requirements of IAS 36 'Impairment of Assets', goodwill is tested annually for impairment for each Cash 
Generating Units (CGU), by comparing the carrying amount of each CGU to its recoverable amount, being the higher of that CGU's 
value in use or fair value less costs to sell. The appropriateness of the CGUs is evaluated on an annual basis. An impairment charge  
is recognised when the recoverable amount is less than the carrying value.  

Emerging Market's CGU's generate revenue through their life assurance, asset management, property & casualty and banking 
businesses in several regions, but principally in Africa and Latin America. 

Determination of Cash Generating Units 
At 30 June 2017, the change in the operating structure prompted the separation of the previously reported single Old Mutual Southern 
and East Africa (OMSEA) CGU into two CGUs for Southern Africa and East Africa. The composition of the East African CGU includes 
the former Old Mutual Kenya and the recently acquired business interests in UAP and Faulu. The goodwill balance of £114 million of  
the OMSEA CGU at 31 December 2016 was allocated in its entirety to the East African CGU, which is primarily located in Kenya,  
on the basis that it related to the acquisitions of UAP and Faulu within that region. 

At 31 December 2017, in light of managed separation and the monitoring of the performance of the business, the management of 
Emerging Markets reconsidered the appropriateness of its CGU's and based on evidence concluded the lowest attributable CGU's 
should be based on individual countries. The South African CGU have been further allocated into five CGU's being Retail, Mass 
Foundation, Corporate, Investment and OM Insure, on which basis management have performed goodwill impairment testing.  

Therefore, the results of the goodwill testing performed are not directly comparable on a year on year basis. 

Value in Use models 
In the performance of goodwill impairment testing the Emerging Markets used a discounted cash flow model, which incorporated 
planned business performance and a risk adjusted discounted rate.

Impairment testing relating to the assets held for sale and distribution 
At 31 December 2017, no impairment losses have been recognised for the Nedbank and Old Mutual Wealth businesses, which have 
been classified and presented as discontinued operations in the consolidated income statement and as held for distribution in the 
consolidated statement of financial position in terms of the requirements of IFRS 5 'Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued 
Operations'. Impairment losses are determined as the deficit between fair value less cost to distribute of each business and the carrying 
value of each business at 31 December 2017.  

The fair value less cost to distribute of Nedbank was determined by reference to its quoted market price and the ZAR/GBP foreign 
exchange rate as at 31 December 2017. At 31 December 2017, the fair value less cost to distribute exceeded the carrying value of 
Nedbank and the Group therefore concluded that goodwill and other intangible assets related to the Nedbank are not impaired. The fair 
value less cost to distribute of Old Mutual Wealth is not observable in a quoted active market and accordingly it has been determined by 
reference to external broker valuation reports and an internal valuation performed for goodwill impairment testing. As such, the 
conclusion of this matter has required significant judgement and the use of estimates.  

At 31 December 2017, the Group has concluded that the fair value less costs to distribute exceeded the carrying value of Old Mutual 
Wealth and therefore no impairment losses of goodwill and other intangible assets have been recognised. 

In addition, no other impairments for property, plant and equipment, investment properties or other intangible assets have been 
recognised as a result of classifying these businesses as held for distribution.

The carrying amount of investment property is the fair value of the property as determined by a registered independent valuer at least 
every three years, and annually by locally qualified staff, having an appropriate recognised professional qualification and recent experience 
in the location and category of the property being valued. Fair values are determined having regard to recent market transactions for 
similar properties in the same location as the Group's investment property. The Group's current lease arrangements, which are entered 
into on an arm's length basis and which are comparable to those for similar properties in the same location, are taken into account. 

All of the Group's investment properties are located in Africa. 

H2(c): Fair value hierarchy of the Group's property 
The fair value of the Group's properties are categorised into Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The table below reconciles the fair value 
measurements of the investment and owner-occupied property:

Provisions and accruals classified as held for sale and held for distribution  
Compensation provisions: Voluntary remediation provision 
As part of its ongoing work to promote fair customer outcomes, the company has conducted product reviews consistent with the 
recommendations from the FCA's thematic feedback and the FCA's guidance 'FG16/8 Fair treatment of long-standing customers in the life 
insurance sector'. Following these reviews, the company has decided to commence voluntary remediation to customers in certain legacy 
products, resulting in an additional provision raised during the year of £69 million, including £7 million of programme costs and £13 million 
of estimated interest. 

The voluntary remediation relates to early encashment charges and contribution servicing charges made on pension products and 
following the re-introduction of annual reviews, compensation payable to a subset of Protection plan holders. 

The redress comprises retrospective refunds and compensation, going back to 1 January 2009, and prospective 5% caps on early 
encashment charges. An FCA press release (3 March 2016) stated that its investigation will focus on disclosure of exit and paid-up 
charges after December 2008. From 2004 to 2007 the Financial Services Authority published a number of communications on treating 
customers fairly (TCF) which made it clear that all firms were required to have regard to customers’ information needs through the life 
cycle of a product. Firms were required to implement changes to complete their TCF work no later than December 2008. 

The company intends to substantially complete the remediation by the end of 2018. 

Key estimates and assumptions in relation to the provision are: 

  Protection policy sustainability period assumption of 4 years; and; and 
  The programme costs of carrying out the remediation activity and interest on remediation payments. 

If past reviews had been carried out correctly, policies would be expected to have funds sufficient to provide up to four years’ cover from 
the current reporting date, on the basis that future premium increases are not applied. This assumption has been used to determine the 
cost of reconstructing the impacted Protection policies to their expected values. 

The programme costs of conducting the remediation activity are highly variable and are subject to a number of uncertainties. In calculating 
the best estimate of these costs, consideration has been given to such matters as the identification of impacted customers, access to and 
the quality of customer files, likelihood of the customer contesting the offer, the complexity of the calculations, the level of quality 
assurance and checking, the ease of contacting and communicating with customers and the level of customer interactions. 

Sensitivities relating to the assumptions and uncertainties are provided in the table below:

+£3.3 million

The Group has not provided for any future potential enforced redress and associated penalties. Disclosure of related contingent liabilities is 
included in note J4. 

Of the total provisions for the businesses classified has held for sale and held for distribution of £104 million, £13 million is estimated to be 
payable after one year. 

H6: Deferred revenue 

Deferred revenue relates to initial fees received for the future provision of services that the Group will render on investment management 
contracts. These fees are capitalised in the consolidated statement of financial position and are amortised in profit or loss over the 
expected life of the contracts. The table below analyses the movements in deferred revenue.

The aggregate amount of temporary differences on which further tax might be due in respect of investments in subsidiaries and branches 
is estimated at £4.9 billion (2016: £4.6 billion), of which £2.4 billion relates to continuing operations and £2.5 billion to discontinued 
operations. It is not expected that the disposals of Wealth Management and Nedbank as a result of Managed Separation will give rise to 
corporate tax charge and there is therefore no requirement to provide for any associated tax. As the Group is able to control the reversal  
of temporary differences in respect of investments in the continuing operations there is no need to provide for any associated deferred  
tax liabilities.

The non-controlling interests' share of profit for the financial year has been calculated on the basis of the Group's effective ownership  
of the subsidiaries in which it does not own 100% of the ordinary equity. The principal subsidiaries where a non-controlling interest exists  
is Nedbank, the Group's South African banking business and OM Asset Management plc, the Group's US asset management business. 
For the year ended 31 December 2017 the non-controlling interests attributable to ordinary shares was £315 million (2016: £253 million).

The Group uses an adjusted weighted average effective ownership interests when calculating the non-controllable interest applicable to 
the adjusted operating profit of its Southern African banking businesses. These reflect the legal ownership of this business following the 
implementation for Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) schemes in 2005. In accordance with IFRS accounting rules the shares issued 
for BEE purposes are deemed to be, in substance, options. Therefore the effective ownership interest of the minorities reflected in arriving 
at profit after tax in the consolidated income statement is lower than that applied in arriving at adjusted operating profit after tax. In 2017 
the increase in adjusted operating profit attributable to non-controlling interests as a result of this was £6 million (2016: £10 million).

I: Interests in subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements 

Critical accounting estimates and judgements – Investments in subsidiaries, associated 
undertakings and joint arrangements 

The Group has applied the following key judgements in the application of the requirements of the consolidation set of standards  
(IFRS 10 'Consolidated Financial Statements' and IFRS 11 'Joint Arrangements'): 

Consolidation of investment funds and securitisation vehicles  
The Group acts as a fund manager to a number of investment funds. In determining whether the Group controls such a fund, it will focus 
on an assessment of the aggregate economic interests of the Group (comprising any carried interests and expected management fees) 
and the investor's rights to remove the fund manager. This general assessment is supplemented by an assessment of third-party rights 
in the investment funds, with regards to their practical ability to allow the Group not to control the fund. The Group assesses, on an 
annual basis, such interests to determine if the fund will be consolidated. The non-controlling interests in investment funds consolidated 
by the Group are classified as third-party interests in consolidated funds, a financial liability, in the consolidated statement of financial 
position. These interests are classified at fair value through profit or loss and measured at fair value, which is equal to the bid value  
of the number of units of the investment funds' scheme not owned by the Group. Any investments held in Old Mutual plc shares are 
treated as treasury shares and are eliminated as a direct decrease in the value of equity and the value of investment and securities. 

The Group has sponsored certain asset backed financing (securitisation) vehicles under its securitisation programme which are run 
according to pre-determined criteria that are part of the initial design of the vehicles. The Group is exposed to variability of returns from 
the vehicles through its holding of junior debt securities in the vehicles. It has concluded that it controls these vehicles and therefore has 
consolidated these asset backed financing vehicles. 

Structured entities 
The Group is required to make judgements on what constitutes a structured entity. Accounting standards define a structured entity as  
an entity designed so that its activities are not governed by way of voting rights. In assessing whether the Group has power over such 
investees in which it has an economic interest, the Group considers numerous factors. These factors may include the purpose and 
design of the investee, its practical ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee, the nature of its relationship with the investee 
and the size of its exposure to the variability of returns of the investee. The Group has evaluated all exposures and has concluded that 
all investments in investment funds as well as certain securitisation vehicles and other funding vehicles represent investments in 
structured entities. Information on structured entities is included in note I3. 

Accounting for the investment in Zimbabwe 
Following recent political developments in Zimbabwe, the current macro-economic situation remains fluid, and the market reaction 
remains volatile. The current risks for our Zimbabwean businesses include the shortage of US dollars, uncertainty of the current levels 
and growth of equity markets and property prices and reputational issues arising from the postponement of all bonus declarations in light 
of the current market uncertainty.  

The Group has total assets and total liabilities of £2,278 million (2016: £1,777million) and £1,803 million (2016: £1,406 million) 
respectively in the Zimbabwean business of which £1,031 million (2016: £472 million) are listed financial assets at fair value. In addition 
the Group has £1,080 million (2016: £775 million) of policyholder liabilities which are backed by primarily investment and securities held 
by the Group. 

The Group has concluded on the following key judgements in the preparation of the Group financial statements: the control and 
functional currency of the Zimbabwean businesses and the fair value of locally listed financial assets and liabilities. 

The Group has concluded that it will consolidate the Zimbabwean businesses as it still has the ability to exercise control. The functional 
currency of the Zimbabwean businesses, consistent with prior years, is US Dollars. This is evidenced by trade in Zimbabwe being 
principally conducted in US dollar and that all major goods and services are priced in US Dollar.  

The fair value of any financial assets or liabilities was based on the unadjusted quoted prices as the Group believes the traded prices 
represent fair value in an active and orderly market. The Group has evidenced this through the reviewing the volume and value of trades 
conducted on the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange (ZSE). 

The value of the ZSE index was 144.53 at 31 December 2016, 195.97 at 30 June 2017 and 323.98 at 31 December 2017. Subsequent 
to year end the ZSE index was 294.55 at 28 February 2018.The ZSE index provides the underlying context of the investment returns 
earned by the Zimbabwean business.

As in previous financial years, one of the Group's associate investments, ETI, will report results for the year ended 31 December 2017 
subsequent to the release of the Group's audited consolidated financial statements. Therefore, as allowed by IAS 28, the Group uses  
the most recent public information of ETI as at 30 September 2017 (i.e. a quarter in arrears) to determine its share of ETI's earnings. In 
addition, as required by IAS 28, the Group considers whether adjustments for significant transactions or events between 30 September 
2017 and 31 December 2017 are required based on publicly available information. The resulting equity accounted earnings is translated 
from US dollar to rand at the average exchange rate applicable for the quarter in which the Group accounts for the earnings. The Group's 
share of the net assets of ETI is translated from US dollars to rand at the closing exchange rate. 

After application of the equity method, an entity determines whether there are indicators of impairment in terms of IAS 39. If impairment  
is indicated, the amount to be recognised as an impairment loss is calculated by reference to IAS 36. In terms of IAS 39 indicators of 
impairment include a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of an associate below its carrying value. In addition, information 
about significant changes with an adverse effect that have taken place in the technological, market, economic or legal environment in 
which the associate operates are also indicators that the carrying value of the associate may not be recovered. 

The carrying value of the Group’s strategic investment in ETI decreased from £235 million (R4.0 billion) to £198 million (R3.3 billion) during 
the year, due to a combination of the rand strengthening against the US dollar and the Group's share of losses incurred by ETI during the 
12 months to 30 September 2017. 

The market value of the Group’s investment in ETI, based on its quoted share price, was £198 million (R3.6 billion) on 31 December 2017 
and £252 million (R4.1 billion) on 28 February 2018. Based on the Group's 2016 value-in-use (VIU) calculation, management determined 
that an impairment provision of £50 million (R1.0 billion) was appropriate. This reduced the carrying value of the Group’s investment in ETI 
to £235 million (R4.0 billion) at 31 December 2016. This calculation is required to be revisited at each reporting period where the indicators 
of impairment are reconsidered and the VIU calculation reassessed taking into account any future changes in estimates and assumptions. 

Based on management's 2017 assessment there are no observable indicators of further impairment at 31 December 2017 and insufficient 
observable indicators that the impairment loss recognised in 2016 has decreased. The £50 million (R1.0 billion) impairment recognised  
in 2016 has therefore not been reversed in the current reporting period. ETI has been an important long-term investment for Nedbank, 
providing our clients with a pan-African transactional banking network across 39 countries and access to dealflow in Central and West 
Africa since its acquisition in 2014. The Group remains supportive of ETI’s endeavours of delivering an ROE in excess of its COE in due 
course. Conditions in the key markets in which ETI operates have improved in 2017 and management expects further improvements in 
2018 and beyond.

I3: Structured entities 
(a) Group’s involvement in structured entities 
In structured entities’ voting rights are not the predominant factor in deciding who controls the entity but rather the Group's exposure to  
the variability of returns from these entities. The Group acts as fund manager to a number of investment funds. Determining whether the 
Group controls such an investment fund usually focuses on the assessment of decision making rights as fund manager, the investor's 
rights to remove the fund manager and the aggregate economic interests of the Group in the fund in the form of interest held and 
exposure to variable returns.  

In most instances the Group's decision-making authority, in its capacity as fund manager, with regard to these funds is regarded to be 
well-defined. Discretion is exercised when decisions regarding the relevant activities of these funds are being made. For funds managed 
by the Group where the investors have the right to remove the Group as fund manager without cause, the fees earned by the Group,  
are considered to be market related. These agreements include only terms, conditions or amounts that are customarily present in 
arrangements for similar services and level of skills negotiated on an arm's length basis. The Group has concluded that it acts as  
agent on behalf of the investors in all instances.  

The Group is considered to be acting as principal where the Group is the fund manager and is able to make the investment decisions  
on behalf of the unit holders, earn a variable fee, and there are no kick out rights that would remove the Group as fund manager.  

The Group has not provided any non-contractual support to any consolidated or unconsolidated structured entities. The Group has 
committed to providing certain liquidity facilities for certain securitisation vehicles. 

The table below summarises the types of structured entities the Group does not consolidate, but may have an interest in: 

Type of structured entity 
–  Securitisation vehicles 

Nature 
–  Finance the Group’s own 

for loans and 
advances 

assets through the issue of 
notes to investors 

–  Investment funds 

–  Manage client funds through 
the investment in assets 

–  Securitisation vehicles 

–  Finance third party receivables 

for third-party 
receivables 

–  Security vehicles 

and are financed through 
loans from third party note 
holders and bank borrowing 
–  Hold and realise assets as a 
result of the default of a client 

Purpose 
–  Generate: 
  –  Funding for the Group’s lending 

activities 

  –  Margin through sale of assets 

to investors 

  –  Fees for loan servicing 
–  Generate fees from managing 
assets on behalf of third-party 
investors 

–  Generate fees from arranging the 
structure. Interest income may be 
earned on the notes held by the 
Group 

–  These entities seek to protect the 
collateral of the Group on the 
default of a loan 

Interest held by the Group 
–  Investment in senior and 
junior notes issued by the 
vehicles 

–  Investments in units issued 

by the fund 

–  Interest in these vehicles is 

through notes that are traded 
in the market 

–  Ownership interest will be in 
proportion of the lending. At 
31 December 2017, the 
Group held no value in 
security vehicles 

–  Clients investment 

–  Hold client investment assets 

–  Generates various sources of

provided.  

The Group's holdings in investment vehicles are subject to the terms and conditions of the respective investment vehicle's offering 
documentation and are susceptible to market price risk arising from uncertainties about future values of those investment vehicles.  
All of the investment vehicles in the investment portfolios are managed by portfolio managers who are compensated by the respective 
investment vehicles for their services. Such compensation generally consists of an asset-based fee and a performance based incentive

Greenhouse Funding III (RF) Limited (Greenhouse III) 
Greenhouse III is a securitisation vehicle through which the rights, title, interest and related security in respect of residential home loans 
were acquired from Nedbank Limited under a segregated-series-medium-term-note programme.  

Greenhouse III is a residential-mortgage-backed securitisation programme implemented during 2014. Greenhouse III securitised  
£119 million (R2 billion) worth of home loans originated by Nedbank Limited through the issuance of senior notes to the capital market and 
subordinated notes and a subordinated loan provided by Nedbank Limited. The notes issued by Greenhouse III are listed on the JSE and 
rated by Moody's. The home loans transferred to Greenhouse III continue to be recognised as financial assets held by Nedbank Limited.  

Greenhouse III makes use of an internal risk management policy, and utilises the Nedbank Group credit risk monitoring process to govern 
lending activities to external parties.  

Nedbank Limited provided Greenhouse III with an interest-bearing subordinated loan at the commencement of the programme to provide 
part of the initial funding. Interest is payable on a quarterly basis, as part of the priority of payments. The full capital amount outstanding 
plus any accrued interest will be payable in full on the final maturity date, provided that all outstanding notes have been redeemed in full 
and all secured creditors have been settled. 

In the Greenhouse III structure Nedbank holds the class D note, amounting to £6 million (R100 million). These notes are subordinated to 
the higher-ranking notes in terms of the priority of payments. 

Precinct Funding 1 (RF) Limited (Precinct Funding 1) 
Precinct Funding 1 is a commercial-mortgage-backed securitisation programme (CMBS). The originator, seller and servicer of the 
commercial property mortgage loan portfolio is Nedbank CIB Property Finance, the market leader in commercial property finance in SA.  

The Precinct Funding 1 CMBS Programme was implemented during 2013. Precinct Funding 1 securitised £149 million (R3 billion) worth  
of commercial property loans originated by Nedbank Limited through the issuance of senior notes to the capital market and subordinated 
notes and a subordinated loan provided by Nedbank Limited. The notes issued by Precinct Funding 1 are listed on the JSE and rated by 
Moody's. The class A and class B notes were placed with third-party investors and the junior notes and subordinated loan retained by 
Nedbank Limited. 

The Precinct Funding 1 structure takes the form of a static pool of small commercial property loans with limited substitution and redraws  
or further advance capabilities. 

Precinct Funding 1 makes use of an internal risk management policy and utilises the Nedbank Group Limited credit risk monitoring 
process to govern lending activities to external parties. The primary measures used to identify, monitor and report on the level of exposure 
to credit risk include individual loan and loan portfolio aging and performance analysis, analysis of impairment adequacy ratios, analysis  
of loss ratio trends and analysis of loan portfolio profitability. The maximum credit exposure to credit risk in respect of the mortgage loans  
is the balance of outstanding advances before taking into account the value of collateral held as security against such exposures and 
impairments raised. The collateral held as security for the mortgage asset exposure is in the form of first indemnity bonds over fixed 
commercial property. 

Nedbank Limited provided Precinct Funding 1 with an interest-bearing subordinated loan at the commencement of the programme  
to provide part of the initial funding. Interest is payable on a quarterly basis as part of the priority of payments. The full capital amount 
outstanding plus any accrued interest will be payable in full on the final maturity date, provided that all outstanding notes have been 
redeemed in full and all secured creditors have been settled. 

Nedbank holds the class C and class D notes of Precinct Funding 1 amounting to £5 million (R87 million). These notes are subordinated 
to the higher-ranking notes in terms of the priority of payments.

(c) Interest in unconsolidated structured entities 
The Group invests in unconsolidated structured entities as part of its normal investment and trading activities. The Group's total interest in 
unconsolidated structured entities is classified as investments and securities held at fair value through profit or loss. The Group does not 
sponsor any of the unconsolidated structured entities. The table below provides a summary of the carrying value of the Group's interest  
in unconsolidated structured entities for both continuing operations and those classified as held for distribution:

The Group's maximum exposure to loss with regard to the interests presented above is the carrying amount of the Group's investments. 
Once the Group has disposed of its shares or units in a fund, it ceases to be exposed to any risk from that fund. The Group's holdings in 
the above unconsolidated structured entities are largely less than 50% and as such the net asset value of these structured entities are 
likely to be significantly higher than their carrying value. 

(d) Other interests in unconsolidated structured entities 
The Group receives management fees and other fees in respect of its asset management businesses that manage investments in which 
the Group has no holding. These also represent interests in unconsolidated structured entities. As these investments are not held by the 
Group, the investment risk is borne by the external investors and therefore the Group's maximum exposure to loss relates to future 
management fees. The Group does not sponsor any of the funds or investment vehicles from which it receives fees. 

The table below shows the assets under management of entities that the Group manages but does not have a holding in and the fees 
earned from those entities. The information is presented for both continuing operations and those classified as held for distribution.

Details of the Group's post-employment schemes are as follows: 
Old Mutual plc 
During the year, bulk annuity arrangements for two legacy defined benefit schemes, the Old Mutual Staff Pension Fund and the G&N 
Retirement Benefits Scheme, were agreed with Legal & General Assurance Society Limited. The agreements resulted in the buy-in of the 
benefits of the two schemes with effect from 13 June 2017. This was converted to a full buy-out into individual annuity policies in October 
2017 and wind-up of both schemes completed on 30 November 2017.  

In order to effect the transaction, Old Mutual plc made a one off contribution of £27 million into the two schemes, which together with 
derecognising of the combined existing surplus for the schemes, resulted in a £57 million charge in the consolidated statement of 
comprehensive income.  

Old Mutual plc no longer has any liability in respect of these two schemes, including administration and funding. Old Mutual plc had 
previously been contributing £7 million of cash funding annually to the two schemes. 

Nedbank 
Nedbank has a number of defined-benefit and defined-contribution plans in terms of which it provides pension, postretirement medical  
aid and long-term disability benefits to employees and their dependants on retirement, death or disability. All eligible employees and 
former employees are members of trustee-administered or underwritten schemes within the Group, financed by company and employee 
contributions. The benefits provided by the defined-benefit schemes are based on years of membership and/or salary levels. These 
benefits are provided from contributions by employees, Nedbank, and income from the assets of these schemes. The benefits provided  
by the defined-contribution schemes are determined by the accumulated contributions and investment earnings. At 31 December 2017, 
Nedbank's pension schemes had a total recognised net surplus of £179 million and its other post-retirement schemes had a total net 
deficit of £36 million. These amounts were transferred to assets held for sale and distribution and liabilities held for sale and distribution 
respectively. At 31 December 2017, the total assets and total liabilities of all of Nedbank's post-retirement schemes were £606 million  
and £458 million respectively.  

Old Mutual Wealth 
Old Mutual Wealth operates two defined benefit (final salary) pension schemes within Quilter Cheviot, the Quilter Cheviot Limited 
Retirement Benefits Scheme (the "UK Final Salary Scheme") and the Quilter Cheviot Channel Islands Retirement Benefits Scheme  
(the "CI Final Salary Scheme"). The UK Final Salary Scheme was closed to new entrants from 31 December 1997 and the CI Final Salary 
Scheme was closed to new entrants from 29 April 2005. In addition, the schemes are closed to future accruals, all members are now 
deferred members or pensioners (not accruing any further service benefits) and pension increases are linked to salary at the time of 
closure (1 January 2015) and now receive statutory increases, predominantly based on the Consumer Price Index. At 31 December 2017,  
the two schemes had a total surplus of £13 million, none of which was recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position.  
At 31 December 2017, the total assets and total liabilities of the two schemes were £61 million and £48 million respectively.  

Restriction on the ability to access individual pension fund surpluses 
The Group has pension fund surpluses whose ability to access the surpluses is regulated by local laws and regulations. In all 
situations the Group does not have the unilateral right to access these surpluses as the use of the surplus must be approved  
by the relevant governing bodies of the pension funds.

1  The year ended 31 December 2016 has been re-presented to reflect Nedbank and Old Mutual Wealth as discontinued operations. Refer to note A4 for more information. 

Actuarial assumptions used in calculating the projected benefit obligation are based on mortality estimates relevant to the countries in 
which they operate, with a specific allowance made for future improvements in mortality which is broadly in line with that adopted for the  
92 series of mortality tables prepared by the Continuous Mortality Investigation Bureau of the Institute of Actuaries. 

The effect to the Group's obligation of a 1% increase and 1% decrease in the assumed health cost trend rates would be an increase of 
£28 million and decrease of £30 million (2016: increase of £31 million and decrease of £25 million) respectively. 

Total contributions expected to be paid to the Group pension plans for the year ending 31 December 2018 are £1 million (subject to any 
reassessments to be completed in the year).

(b) Measurements and assumptions 
The fair value of services received in return for share options granted are measured by reference to the fair value of share options granted. 
The estimate of the fair value of share options granted is measured using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. 

Share options are granted under a service and non-market based performance condition. Such conditions are not taken into account  
in the grant date fair value measurement of the share options granted. There are no market conditions associated with the share  
option grants. 

The grant date for the UK and South African plan awards is deemed to be 1 January in the year prior to the date of issue. As such the 
Group is required to estimate, at the reporting date, the number and fair value of the options that will be granted in the following year. The 
fair value of awards expected to be granted in 2017 which will have an IFRS 2 grant date of 1 January 2017, is shown separately below. 
The grant date for all other awards is the award issue date. 

(c) Forfeitable/Restricted share grants 
The following summarises the fair value of restricted shares granted by the Group during the year:

The share price at measurement date was used to determine the fair value of the restricted shares. Expected dividends were  
not incorporated into the measurement of fair value where the holder of the restricted share is entitled to dividends throughout  
the vesting period. 

(d) Annual bonus awards 
The UK and South Africa Plan Awards give rise to annual bonus awards. The level of annual bonus awards is contingent upon the 
satisfactory completion of individual and company performance targets, measured over the financial year prior to the date the employees 
receive the award. The accounting grant date for the South African and UK annual bonus plans (other than the new joiner and newly 
qualified grants) has therefore been determined as 1 January in the year prior to the date of issue of the grants. 

The Group anticipates awards under the South African scheme of 8,181,885 restricted shares (2016: 6,222,592). The restricted shares 
have been valued using a share price of R38.00 (2016: R34.44). 

The Group estimate of the total fair value of the annual bonus expected to be paid in the form of options and forfeitable shares is outlined 
below. The fair value is determined by making an estimate of the level of bonus to be paid out following the attainment of personal and 
company performance conditions.

Various members of key management personnel hold or have at various times during the year held, investments managed by asset 
management businesses of the Group. These include unit trusts, mutual funds and hedge funds. None of the amounts concerned are 
material in the context of the funds managed by the Group business concerned, and all of the investments have been made by the 
individuals concerned either on terms which are the same as those available to external clients generally or, where that is not the case,  
on the same preferential terms as were available to employees of the business generally. 

(d) Other transactions with related parties 

Peter Moyo, the Chief Executive Officer of Old Mutual Life Assurance Company (South Africa) Limited, (OMLAC(SA)), a wholly owned

Annual Report and Accounts 2017  

Consumer protection 
The Group is committed to treating customers fairly and supporting its customers in meeting their lifetime goals is central to how our 
businesses operate. We routinely engage with customers and regulators to ensure that we meet this commitment, but there is the risk  
of regulatory intervention across various jurisdictions, giving rise to the potential for customer redress which can result in retrospective 
changes to policyholder benefits, penalties or fines. The Group monitors the exposure to these actions and makes provision for the  
related costs as appropriate. 

As detailed in note H5, the Group has recognised a provision of £69 million in 2017 for the cost of voluntarily redress for affected 
customers following the publication by the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) of a report detailing its findings of their industry-wide 
thematic review on the fair treatment of long-standing customers invested in closed-book products sold by the life insurance sector  
(TR 16/2) (Thematic Review) and the subsequent announcement that it was initiating an investigation into a number of firms, including  
Old Mutual Wealth Life Assurance Limited (OMWLA), a subsidiary of the Group, in relation to potential breaches of the FCA's standards 
relevant to the matters covered by the Thematic Review. 

The potential for future enforced redress and associated penalties by the FCA cannot be estimated with any reliability and therefore no 
provision has been recognised in the financial statements. 

Implications of the Managed Separation strategy  
The Group routinely monitors and reassesses contingent liabilities arising from pre-existing plc Head Office legacy items such as  
litigation, and warranties and indemnities relating to past acquisitions and disposals. The adoption of the Managed Separation strategy on 
11 March 2016 does not affect the nature of such items, however it is possible that the Group may seek to resolve certain matters as part 
of the implementation of the Managed Separation strategy. 

Outcome of Zimbabwean Commission Enquiry 
On 31 December 2016, the Zimbabwean Government concluded its inquiry into the loss in value for certain policyholders and beneficiaries 
upon the conversion of pension and insurance benefits after the dollarization of the economy in 2009. On 9 March 2018, the results of the 
Zimbabwean Government’s inquiry were made public. 

Emerging Markets is committed to treating its customers fairly and is currently reviewing the report and preparing a preliminary evaluation 
of the potential impact on Emerging Markets’ operations. We are not currently able to establish what impact the commission's findings will 
have on Old Mutual Zimbabwe.

J7: Fiduciary activities 
The Group provides custody, trustee, corporate administration and investment management and advisory services to third parties that 
involve the Group making allocation and purchase and sale decisions in relation to a wide range of financial instruments. Those assets 
that are held in a fiduciary capacity are not included in these financial statements. Some of these arrangements involve the Group 
accepting targets for benchmark levels of returns for the assets under the Group's care. These services give rise to the risk that the  
Group will be accused of misadministration or under-performance. The fiduciary activities are carried out by both the businesses  
classified as held for distribution and the continuing operations.

Old Mutual Wealth financing arrangements 
On 28 February 2018, the Group entered into, and fully drew down, the New Term Loan, a £300 million senior unsecured term loan with  
a number of relationship banks with an annual coupon of 45 basis points above LIBOR, to be updated every three months. The New Term 
Loan will be repaid in full using proceeds from the sale of the Single Strategy Business following the completion of the OMGI Transaction.  

Also on 28 February 2018, the Group issued a £200 million subordinated debt security in the form of a 10-year Tier 2 bond with a one-time 
issuer call option after 5 years to J.P. Morgan Securities plc, paying a semi-annual coupon of 4.478% (Tier 2 Bond). Including the impact 
of amortisation of bond set-up costs, the issuance of the Tier 2 Bond security will increase operating expenses in the Head Office segment 
by approximately £11 million on an annual basis. The debt security is currently undocumented and unlisted and has a Fitch instrument 
rating of BBB-. The Group intends to finalise a prospectus and obtain a listing for the Tier 2 Bond on the regulated market of the London 
Stock Exchange, with a view to a potential remarketing and secondary placement of the Tier 2 Bond in due course. In addition, the Group 
entered into the New Revolving Facility, a £125 million revolving credit facility which is currently undrawn and is expected to remain 
undrawn during 2018.  

Subsequent to the year end, and as part of a series of internal transactions, £566 million of intercompany indebtedness to other 
companies within the Old Mutual plc group has been equitised, with the effect of the intercompany indebtedness being cancelled and 
replaced with equity in the form of share capital and a merger reserve. The overall indebtedness also reduced by £16 million from ordinary 
course transactions. The remaining £200 million intercompany indebtedness was repaid in full from the new facilities referred to above  
and from existing cash resources on 28 February 2018. On the same date, the £70 million revolving credit facility with Old Mutual plc  
was cancelled.

  For cash flow hedges of a forecast transaction, an assessment that it is highly probable that the hedged transaction will occur and will 

carry profit or loss risk. 

 (d) Hedge accounting continued 
Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges and that prove to be highly effective in relation 
to hedged risk, are recorded in profit or loss, along with the corresponding change in fair value of the hedged asset or liability that is 
attributable to that specific hedged risk. 

Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges or hedges of a net investment in a foreign 
operation, and that prove to be highly effective in relation to the hedged risk, are recognised in other comprehensive income. Any 
ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognised in profit or loss. 

If the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. For fair value hedge 
accounting, any previous adjustment to the carrying amount of a hedged interest-bearing financial instrument carried at amortised cost  
(as a result of previous hedge accounting), is amortised in profit or loss from the date hedge accounting ceases, to the maturity date of  
the financial instrument, based on the effective interest method. 

For hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation, any cumulative gains or losses in equity are recognised in profit or loss on disposal 
of the foreign operation. The Group does not apply significant cash flow or fair value hedging. 

(e) Embedded derivatives 
Certain derivatives embedded in financial and non-financial instruments, such as the conversion option in a convertible bond, are treated 
as separate derivatives and recognised as such on a standalone basis, when a separate instrument with the same terms as the 
embedded derivative would meet the definition of a derivative, their risks and characteristics are not closely related to those of the host 
contract and the host contract is not carried at fair value with unrealised gains and losses reported in profit or loss. If it is not possible to 
determine the fair value of the embedded derivative, the entire hybrid instrument is categorised as fair value through profit or loss and 
measured at fair value. 

(f) Offsetting financial instruments and related income 
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the consolidated statement of financial position only when there  
is currently a legally enforceable right to set off and there is intention to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability 
simultaneously. 

Income and expense items are offset only to the extent that their related instruments have been offset in the consolidated statement  
of financial position, with the exception of those relating to hedges, which are disclosed in accordance with profit or loss effect of the 
hedged item. 

(g) Interest income and expense 
Interest income and expense in relation to financial instruments carried at amortised cost or held as available-for-sale are recognised in 
profit or loss using the effective interest method, taking into account the expected timing and amount of cash flows. Interest income and 
expense include the amortisation of any discount or premium or other differences between the initial carrying amount of an interest-
bearing instrument and its amount at maturity calculated on an effective interest basis. 

Interest income and expense on financial instruments carried at fair value through profit or loss are presented as part of interest income  
or expense. 

(h) Non-interest revenue 
Non-interest revenue in respect of financial instruments principally comprises fees and commission and other operating income.  
These are accounted for as set out below. 

Fees and commission income 
Loan origination fees, for loans that are probable of being drawn down, are deferred (together with related direct costs) and recognised  
as an adjustment to the effective yield on the loan. Fees and commission arising from negotiating, or participating in the negotiation  
of a transaction for a third-party, such as the acquisition of loans, shares or other securities or the purchase or sale of businesses,  
are recognised on completion of the underlying transaction. 

Other income 
Revenue other than interest, fees and commission (including fees and insurance premiums), which includes exchange and securities 
trading income, dividends from investments and net gains on the sale of banking assets, is recognised in profit or loss when the amount of 
revenue from the transaction or service can be measured reliably and it is probable that the economic benefits of the transaction or service 
will flow to the Group.

Annual Report and Accounts 2017  

Unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of available-for-sale financial assets are recognised in other 
comprehensive income. When available-for-sale financial assets are disposed, the related accumulated fair value adjustments are 
included in profit or loss as gains and losses from available-for-sale financial assets. When available-for-sale assets are impaired the 
resulting loss is shown separately in profit or loss as an impairment charge. 

Interest earned on available-for-sale financial assets is reported within investment return (non-banking) or banking interest and similar 
income, as appropriate. Dividends receivable are included separately in dividend income, within investment return (non-banking) or 
banking trading, investment and similar income, as appropriate when a dividend is declared. 

Financial liabilities (other than investment contracts and derivatives) 
Non-derivative financial liabilities, including borrowed funds, amounts owed to depositors and liabilities under acceptances are recorded  
as held-for-trading, designated as fair value through profit or loss or as financial liabilities at amortised cost. 

Liabilities that the Group has elected to designate as fair value through profit or loss are those where the treatment either eliminates or 
significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise when using a different measurement basis  
or are managed, evaluated and reported using a fair value basis. 

For financial liabilities recorded at fair value and which contain a demand feature, the fair value of the liability is not less than the amount 
payable on demand, discounted from the first date that the amount could be required to be paid. 

Financial liabilities categorised at amortised cost are recognised initially at fair value, which is normally represented by the transaction 
price, less directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition these financial liabilities are stated at amortised cost  
with any difference between cost and redemption value being recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings on an effective 
interest basis. 

Equity classified conversion options included within financial liabilities are recorded separately in shareholders' equity. The Group does not 
recognise any change in the value of this option in subsequent periods. The remaining obligation to make future payments of principal and 
interest to bondholders is calculated using a market interest rate for an equivalent non-convertible bond and is presented on the amortised 
cost basis in other borrowed funds until extinguished on conversion or maturity of the bonds. 

If the Group purchases its own debt, it is removed from the consolidated statement of financial position and the difference between the 
carrying amount of a liability and the consideration paid is recognised in profit or loss and are included in finance costs. 

(k) Reclassifications of financial assets 
A non-derivative financial asset that would have met the definition of loans and receivables at initial recognition that was required to  
be categorised as held-for-trading (on the basis that it was held for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term) may under 
exceptional circumstances be reclassified out of the fair value through profit or loss category if the Group intends and is able to hold  
the financial asset for the foreseeable future or until maturity. If a financial asset is so reclassified, it is reclassified at its fair value on the 
date of reclassification. Any gain or loss already recognised in profit or loss is not reversed. The fair value at the date of reclassification 
becomes its new cost or amortised cost, as applicable. 

Other non-derivative financial assets that were required to be categorised as held-for-trading at initial recognition may be reclassified out  
of the fair value through profit or loss category in rare circumstances. If a financial asset is so reclassified, it is reclassified at its fair value 
on the date of reclassification. Any gain or loss already recognised in profit or loss is not reversed. Measurement of the asset after 
reclassification depends on the subsequent categorisation. 

A non-derivative financial asset that would have met the definition of loans and receivables at initial recognition that was designated as 
available-for-sale may under exceptional circumstances be reclassified out of the available-for-sale category to the loans and receivables 
category if it meets the loans and receivables definition at the date of reclassification and if the Group intends and is able to hold the 
financial asset for the foreseeable future or until maturity. If a financial asset is so reclassified, it is reclassified at its fair value on the date  
of reclassification. The fair value at the date of reclassification becomes its new cost or amortised cost, as applicable. In the case of a 
financial asset with a fixed maturity, the gain or loss already recognised in the available-for-sale reserve in equity is amortised to profit  
or loss over the remaining life using the effective interest method together with any difference between the new amortised cost and the 
maturity amount. In the case of a financial asset that does not have a fixed maturity, the gain or loss already recognised in the available-
for-sale reserve in equity is recognised in profit or loss when the financial asset is sold or otherwise disposed.

  Significant financial difficulty of the counterparty 
  A breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments 
Realised and unrealised fair value gains and losses on all financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are included in 
  The Group, for economic or legal reasons relating to the counterparty's financial difficulty, grants to the counterparty a concession that 
investment return (non-banking) or in banking trading, investment and similar income as appropriate. 

the Group would not otherwise consider 

  It becoming probable that the counterparty will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation 
Interest earned whilst holding financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is reported within investment return (non-banking) or 
  Observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from a group of assets since the initial 
banking interest and similar income, as appropriate. Dividends receivable are included separately in dividend income, within investment 
recognition of those assets, although the decrease cannot yet be identified with the individual financial assets, including: 
return (non-banking) or banking trading, investment and similar income, when a dividend is declared. 
  adverse changes in the payment status of counterparties in the group of financial assets; or 
  national or local economic conditions that correlate with defaults on the assets in the group of financial assets. 

Loans and receivables 
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market, 
In addition, for an available-for-sale financial asset, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value below its cost is also objective 
other than those classified by the Group as fair value through profit or loss or available-for-sale. Loans and receivables are carried at 
evidence of impairment. 
amortised cost less any impairment write-downs. Third-party expenses such as legal fees incurred in securing a loan are treated as part  
of the cost of the transaction. 

Held-to-maturity financial assets 
Financial assets with fixed maturity dates which are quoted in an active market and where management has both the intent and the ability 
to hold the asset to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity. These assets are carried at amortised cost less any impairment write-
downs. Interest earned on held-to-maturity financial assets is reported within investment return (non-banking) or banking interest and 
similar income, as appropriate. 

Available-for-sale financial assets 
Financial assets intended to be held for an indefinite period of time, which may be sold in response to needs for liquidity or changes in 
interest rates, exchange rates or equity prices other than those designated fair value through profit or loss or as loans and receivables,  
are classified as available-for-sale. Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments at the time of the purchase. 

Available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value based on bid prices quoted in active markets. If such prices are unavailable 
or determined to be unreliable, the fair value of the financial asset is estimated using pricing models or discounted cash flow techniques. 
Where discounted cash flow techniques are used, estimated future cash flows are based on management's best estimates and the 
discount rate used is a market-related rate at the reporting date for an instrument with similar terms and conditions. Where pricing models 
are used, inputs are based on observable market data where available at the reporting date.

Financial assets at amortised cost 
The amount of the impairment of a financial asset held at amortised cost is the difference between the carrying amount and the 
recoverable amount, being the value of expected cash flows, including amounts recoverable from guarantees and collateral, discounted 
based on the effective interest rate at initial recognition. In estimating future expected cash flows the Group looks at the contractual cash 
flows of the assets and adjusts these contractual cash flows for historical loss experience of assets with similar credit risks, with this 
adjusted to reflect any additional conditions that are expected to arise or to account for those which no longer exist. This is done to predict 
inherent losses which exist in the asset as at the reporting date but have not been reported. 

The impairment provision also covers losses where there is objective evidence that losses are present in components of the loan portfolio 
at the reporting date, but these components have not yet been specifically identified. When a loan is uncollectable, it is written-off against 
the related impairment provision. 

If the amount of impairment subsequently decreases due to an event occurring after the write-down, the release of the impairment 
provision is credited to profit or loss. Impairment reversals are limited to what the carrying amount would have been, had no impairment 
losses been recognised. 

Interest income on impaired loans and receivables is recognised on the impaired amount using the original effective interest rate before 
the impairment.  

Available-for-sale financial assets 
The amount of the impairment loss of an available-for-sale financial asset is the cumulative loss that has been recognised in other 
comprehensive income, being the difference between the acquisition cost and the asset's current fair value, less any impairment loss  
on that asset previously recognised in profit or loss. For available-for-sale debt securities, fair value is determined as the present value  
of expected future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of interest. 

All such impairments are recognised in profit or loss. The reversal of an impairment allowance in respect of a debt instrument categorised 
as available-for-sale is credited to profit or loss, the release in respect of an equity instrument categorised as available-for-sale is credited 
to the available-for-sale reserve within equity.

reserve in the Company. The impact of these transactions in the financial statements was an addition of £15 million (2016: £28 million)

10 Post-employment benefits 
During the period, a bulk annuity arrangement for the Company’s legacy defined benefit scheme, the Old Mutual Staff Pension Fund, was 
agreed with Legal & General Assurance Society Limited. The agreement resulted in the buy-in of the benefits of the scheme with effect 
from 13 June 2017. This was converted to a full buy-out into individual annuity policies in October 2017 and wind-up of the scheme was 
completed on 30 November 2017. 

In order to effect the transaction, the Company has made a one off contribution of £22.6 million into the scheme, which together with 
writing off the existing IAS 19 deficit for the scheme, resulted in a £17.3 million reduction in IFRS NAV recognised in the statement of 
changes in equity. The Company no longer has any liability in respect of this scheme, including administration and funding. The Company 
had previously been contributing annually £3.6 million of cash funding to the scheme. 

During the year two employees (2017: two) were directly employed by the Company. The costs for these Directors are disclosed within the 
Remuneration Report on pages 97 to 128.

13 Assets held for sale and distribution 
Old Mutual plc announced at its preliminary results announcement in 2016, and in various subsequent updates, that the long-term 
interests of its shareholders and other stakeholders would be best served by a managed separation of the Group into its four constituent 
businesses:  

  Emerging Markets, the South African incorporated emerging markets financial services business with a focus on Africa; 
  Nedbank Limited (Nedbank), the South African incorporated retail and corporate bank with a significant presence in Africa; 
  Old Mutual Wealth, the UK incorporated wealth and asset management business; and  
  OM Asset Management plc (OMAM), the US incorporated asset management business. 

The OMAM shareholding has now been reduced to 1,000 shares. 

The process of managed separation of the businesses is planned to be achieved through the execution of the following remaining steps: 

  the distribution of the Old Mutual Wealth shares to existing Old Mutual shareholders and the listing of Old Mutual Wealth, which it  
is intended will incorporate a secondary offering. Old Mutual Wealth will have a primary listing on the LSE and a secondary listing  
on the JSE.  

  the creation of a new South African holding company, Old Mutual Limited (OML), which will acquire Old Mutual plc (consisting primarily 

of Emerging Markets and Nedbank pursuant to a scheme of arrangement under UK law).  

  the distribution of the OML shares to existing Old Mutual plc shareholders and the listing of OML. OML will be primary listed on the JSE 

with a standard listing on the LSE and secondary listings on the ZSE, NSX and MSE.  

  after the listing of OML and a period thereafter to allow for the share register to settle, OML anticipates unbundling (in terms of SA law) 
to its shareholders a significant portion of its shareholding in Nedbank, whilst retaining a strategic minority interest. Nedbank is primary  
listed on the JSE and secondary listed on the NSX.  

In anticipation of the execution of the Group’s managed separation strategy, through the distribution of Old Mutual Wealth shares, the 
company’s investment in Old Mutual Wealth has been classified as held for sale and distribution in the statement of financial position at  
31 December 2017.  

This judgement was done based on the facts and circumstances which existed at 31 December 2017 when the Directors made a  
formal assessment of whether the businesses should be classified as held for distribution. Although there may be a few minor internal 
reorganisations that may occur before distributions, as at 31 December 2017, the businesses in their current state could have been 
distributed. The Directors considered that it was highly probable that the Old Mutual Wealth business would be distributed within a period 
of twelve months based on interactions with South African and UK regulators, positive interactions with the relevant tax authorities and 
interactions with the South African government. The Directors have also taken into account the likelihood of the Court approval of the 
scheme and have come to the conclusion that the business should be classified as held for distribution. 

Nedbank is not a directly held subsidiary of Old Mutual plc and therefore cannot be considered as held for sale or held for distribution in 
the Company Financial Statements. 

14 Events after the reporting date 
On 31 January 2018, the Company sold its entire investment in Skandia UK Limited to Old Mutual Wealth Management Limited for a 
consideration of £591,361,000. As a result of the sale, the Company made a loss of £2,767,000.

Annual Report and Accounts 2017 

Dealings in the Company’s shares  

on the JSE 

All transactions in the Company’s shares on the JSE are 

required to be settled electronically through Strate, and share 

certificates are no longer good for delivery in respect of 

such transactions. Shareholders who have any enquiries 

about the effect of Strate on their holdings in the Company 

should contact Link Market Services in Johannesburg  

on +27 (0)86 140 0110 or +27 (0)11 029 0253 

Dealings in the Company’s shares  

on the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange 

With effect from March 2015, all transactions in the Company’s 

shares on the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange have been required to 

be settled in dematerialised form, and share certificates are no 

longer good for delivery in respect of such transactions. The 

Company sent a circular to its registered shareholders on the 

Zimbabwe branch register during the first quarter of 2015 to explain 

the consequences of this and inviting them to dematerialise their 

certificated shareholdings through an Issuer-Sponsored Nominee 

Programme. Shareholders on the Zimbabwe branch register 

who have any enquiries about dematerialising their holdings in 

the Company should refer to this circular (which is also available 

on the Company’s website) or, in case of doubt, contact Corpserve 

Registrars on +263 (0)4 751559/61. 

Electronic communications and  

electronic proxy appointment 

The Company wrote to shareholders on its South African branch 

register and on the principal and Namibian sections of its UK 

register in November 2012 to inform them that it was moving to e-

comms as the default form of communication, in line with provisions 

in the UK Companies Act 2006 and the Company’s Articles of 

Association. Shareholders who wished to continue to receive 

physical copies of shareholder communications, rather than 

accessing these from the Company’s website, were required to 

notify the Company’s registrars of their election to do so by 

4 January 2013. A similar process was followed, with different 

applicable dates, for new shareholders who bought shares 

between November 2012 and 15 August 2014.  

Further exercises to extend these arrangements to shareholders 

on the Malawian and Zimbabwean branch registers took place 

during 2014 and 2015 respectively.
