David Nish, Chief Executive, commented:

"Standard Life has made a strong start to 2013, growing sales, net flows and assets.

Standard Life Investments reinforced its position as a leading asset manager, delivering a very strong first quarter. This included reaching a record level of third party assets, which now represent over 50% of total AUM, a more diversified asset mix and increased geographic reach.

Our UK business had a good start to the year, and while the industry continues to see disruption as a result of the introduction of RDR, we have made a smooth transition to operating under the new regulatory environment with encouraging early indicators from both our corporate and retail customers and their advisers. Canada has maintained momentum in its fee business and remains well placed in the growing pension market.

We remain confident that our business is well positioned for further strong and sustainable growth."

Group performance

Standard Life has made a strong start to 2013 recording a 24% increase in long-term savings sales to £6.3bn (Q1 2012: £5.0bn) and a 26% increase in long-term savings net flows to £1.4bn (Q1 2012: £1.1bn). Sales benefited from implementation of auto enrolment for a number of existing clients as well as new schemes in the UK, an increase in UK institutional pensions, and higher corporate pensions sales in Canada. Standard Life Investments had a particularly strong start to the year, with third party net flows up over 160% to £3.0bn (Q1 2012: £1.1bn), which together with positive market movements helped to drive third party AUM to a record £90.4bn (FY 2012: £83.0bn). Group AUA net flows increased to £2.8bn (Q1 2011: £1.1bn) contributing to a 7% increase in Group AUA to a record £233.1bn (FY 2012: £218.1bn).

Business highlights

We continue to make good progress in each of our businesses.

In the UK we are beginning to take advantage of the opportunities that auto enrolment and RDR have created, providing a smooth transition for our customers to the new regulatory environment. We have a strong and growing pipeline of new secured corporate pension business and further benefits are expected from auto enrolment implementations for our existing corporate pension clients. Our recently launched corporate investment proposition is proving successful as employers are increasingly selecting our in-house investment solutions. Net flows in our retail business benefited from on-going demand for our higher margin investment solutions including MyFolio funds which saw net flows up 34% to £357m (Q1 2012: £266m). We are also encouraged by increasing activity from advisers with whom we have not dealt with since our exit from the commission paying market in 2004. Average revenue yield on fee business was maintained at 72bps (FY 2012: 72bps).

In Europe we are making progress in shifting our business towards unit linked products and are seeing increasing interest from advisers wishing to explore how we and UK advisers operate under a non-commission based model. Average revenue yield on fee business was 129bps (FY 2012: 138bps).

Standard Life Investments continues to grow third party AUM with very strong net inflows of £3.0bn including a 160% increase in sales from outside of the UK to £1.3bn. For the first time ever, third party AUM represents more than 50% of total AUM. Average fee revenue yield from third party business increased to 41bps (FY 2012: 40bps) reflecting continued shift in mix towards higher margin products.

In Canada our fee business continues to grow. Sales of corporate pensions increased by 94% and we saw on-going momentum in retail savings with sales up 6% helping to increase net flows into fee propositions by 135% to £188m. At the same time efficient back book management remains an important focus of our spread/risk business. Average revenue yield on fee business was 111bps (FY 2012: 113bps).

Our wholly owned and joint venture businesses in Asia continue to grow and we have announced plans to transition further shared functions to Hong Kong bringing more of our people closer to customers and our branches in the region.

Strong balance sheet

Our balance sheet continues to be robust with an estimated IGD surplus of £4.2bn (FY 2012: £4.1bn; Q1 2012: £3.1bn), before the payment of final and special dividends totalling £0.5bn, and remains relatively insensitive to market movements. Direct shareholder exposure to debt issued by governments and banks in Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal and Spain remains less than £50m.

Outlook

Our UK business remains well positioned to benefit from regulatory, market and demographic changes. Our newer style propositions are gathering momentum with on-going demand for investment solutions from customers, their advisers and employers. The pipeline of new corporate business secured but not yet transitioned continues to grow and further benefits are expected from auto enrolment implementations for our existing corporate pension clients. Standard Life Investments remains focused on expanding its investment capabilities and geographic reach and its pipeline of institutional business remains strong. Canada continues to build on momentum in its fee based propositions. Our Asia and Emerging Markets business is well positioned for growth in the attractive international markets in which it operates.

Overall, whilst markets remain competitive, our business model, propositions, distribution capability and strong balance sheet mean we are confident that we can deliver on-going improvements in value for our customers and shareholders.
