¹This includes interest payable from Old Mutual plc to non-core operations of £13 million for 6 months ended 30 June 2012 (June 2011: £13 million; December 2011: £27 million).
²Central costs of £7 million are allocated to the covered business and provisioned in the VIF (June 2011: £7 million December 2011: £14 million). Hence net corporate costs under MCEV of £18 million (June 2011: £21 million; December 2011: £43 million) differ from the IFRS amount of £25 million (June 2011: £28 million; December 2011: £57 million).

Significant corporate activities and business changes

Disposal of Nordic business

As previously reported the Group had agreed at 31 December 2011 for the disposal of its life assurance operations, asset management and banking operations in Sweden, Denmark and Norway to Skandia Liv. Following final regulatory approval on 8 March 2012 and subsequent shareholder approval the sale was completed on 21 March 2012. The MCEV earnings of the Nordic business have been categorised as discontinued within the MCEV results and the comparative information has been restated where applicable to reflect this. Nordic has been treated as non-modelled for 2012 reporting purposes with earnings for the period to 21 March 2012 reported on an IFRS basis.

The transaction has resulted in an uplift of £202 million to the adjusted Group MCEV, based on the differences between the purchase price of £2,118 million, the removal of the MCEV balances for the Nordic business unit (VIF: £1,148 million, ANW: £286 million and other non-covered business: £330 million) and further IFRS adjustments of £152 million.

Special dividend and share consolidation

On 9 March 2012, the Group declared a special dividend of 18p per 10p ordinary share to all holders of these shares at 20 April 2012 and was paid on 7 June 2012. The Group also performed a seven-for-eight share consolidation on 23 April 2012.

For MCEV purposes, the weighted average number of shares is effective from 23 April 2012.

Inclusion of other African businesses

As reported in the Group's 2011 Annual Report and Accounts the Group's operations in Zimbabwe, Kenya, Malawi, Swaziland and Nigeria ("the other African businesses") were consolidated effective from 1 January 2011. The results of the other African businesses were included in the comparatives for the six months ended 30 June 2011 and for the year ended 31 December 2011. In June 2012 we have also included the Zimbabwean and Namibian companies as part of the covered business of Emerging Markets.

Reporting of Retail Europe within Wealth Management

On 24 January 2012 the Group announced that it will combine its Wealth Management Continental Europe business (France and Italy) with the Skandia Retail Europe business unit (Germany, Austria, Poland and Switzerland), for reporting purposes only. As a result the Retail Europe segment will now be reported within the Wealth Management segment for the six months ended 30 June 2012. Consequently the comparative information for the six months ended 30 June 2011 and the year ended 31 December 2011 has been reclassified where applicable to reflect this.

Notes to the MCEV basis supplementary information

For the six months ended 30 June 2012

A: MCEV policies

A1: Basis of preparation

The Market Consistent Embedded Value methodology (referred to herein and in the supplementary statements on pages 82 to 117 as 'MCEV') adopts the Market Consistent Embedded Value Principles (Copyright © Stichting CFO Forum Foundation 2008) issued in June 2008 and updated in October 2009 by the CFO Forum ('the Principles') as the basis for the methodology used in preparing the supplementary information.

The CFO Forum announced changes to the MCEV Principles in October 2009 to reflect inter alia the inclusion of a liquidity premium. These changes affirm that the risk free reference rate to be applied under MCEV should include both the swap yield curve appropriate to the currency of the cash flows and a liquidity premium where appropriate. The CFO Forum is undertaking further work to develop more detailed application guidance.

The Principles have been fully complied with for all businesses at 30 June 2012. The detailed methodology and assumptions made in presenting this supplementary information are set out in notes A2 and A3.

Throughout the supplementary information the following terminology is used to distinguish between the terms 'MCEV', 'Group MCEV' and 'adjusted Group MCEV':

§ MCEV is a measure of the consolidated value of shareholders' interests in the covered business and consists of the sum of the shareholders' adjusted net worth in respect of the covered business and the value of the in-force covered business.

§ Group MCEV is a measure of the consolidated value of shareholders' interests in covered and non-covered business. Non-covered business is valued at the IFRS net asset value detailed in the primary financial statements adjusted to eliminate inter-company loans.

§ The adjusted Group MCEV, a measure used by management to assess the shareholders' interest in the value of the Group, includes the impact of marking all debt to market value, the market value of the Group's listed banking subsidiary, marking the value of deferred consideration due in respect of Black Economic Empowerment arrangements in South Africa ('the BEE schemes') to market, as well as including the market value of excess own shares held in ESOP schemes.

A2: Methodology

(a) Required capital

Required capital is the market value of assets that is attributed to support the covered business, over and above that required to back statutory liabilities for covered business, whose distribution to shareholders is restricted. The following capital measures are considered in determining the required capital held for covered business so that it reflects the level of capital considered by the directors to be appropriate to manage the business:

§ Economic capital;

§ Regulatory capital (i.e. the level of solvency capital which the local regulators require);

§ Capital required by rating agencies in order to maintain the desired credit rating; and

§ Any other required capital definition to meet internal management objectives.

Economic capital for the covered business is based upon Old Mutual's own internal assessment of risks inherent in the underlying business. It measures capital requirements on a basis, consistent with a 99.93% confidence level over a one-year time horizon.

For Emerging Markets and Wealth Management capital determined with reference to internal management objectives is the most onerous and is the capital measure used, whilst for Nordic the regulatory capital requirement was the most onerous in 30 June 2011 and 31 December 2011 comparatives. For Bermuda the required capital is set with reference to internal management objectives, i.e. the adjusted net worth.

The required capital in respect of OMLAC(SA)'s covered business is partially covered by the market value of the Group's investments in banking and general insurance in South Africa. On consolidation these investments are shown separately.

The Bermuda Monetary Authority (BMA) enacted its new Class E Prudential rules in December 2011. In July 2012, it was agreed with the BMA that the Bermuda business should now directly hold capital resources comparable to those required under Solvency II, as calculated by the Group's existing internal capital model, which were previously held centrally.


The table below shows the level of required capital expressed as a percentage of the minimum local regulatory capital requirements

¹The required capital and regulatory capital relating to the other African life businesses is included from 31 December 2011 results for Emerging Markets.
²Local regulators within many of the Wealth Management Europe countries allow intangible assets to be included as admissible regulatory capital. In such cases the required capital reported for MCEV is net of these items, although each of the countries continues to be sufficiently capitalised on the local solvency basis. Skandia Leben in Germany is permitted under local regulations to include the unallocated policyholder profit sharing liability as admissible capital.
³During December 2011, the BMA insurance (Prudential Standards) (Class E Solvency Requirements) Rules 2011 were formally signed into Bermudan law. The regulations allow for a transition period for the new capital requirement (75% for financial year 2012, 100% for financial year 2013). The required capital calculated on this statutory basis was approximately £136 million at 30 June 2012. As of 30 June 2012, we have determined the required capital as the adjusted net worth held in the business at that date as this exceeded the transitional capital requirement. However, in July 2012 it was agreed with the BMA that Bermuda business should now directly hold capital resources of £448 million, comparable to those required under Solvency II, as calculated by the Group's existing internal capital model, which were previously held centrally (this change is not reflected in the table above as it took place after 30 June 2012). The changes to required capital held locally that have taken place in July 2012 are not expected to have any material impact on the value of in-force business.

(b) Cost of residual non-hedgeable risks

The Cost of residual non-hedgeable risks ("CNHR") is calculated using a cost of capital approach, i.e. it is determined as the present value of capital charges for all future non-hedgeable risk capital requirements until the liabilities have run off. The capital charge in each year is the product of the projected expected non-hedgeable risk capital held after allowance for some diversification benefits and the cost of capital charge.

The table below shows the amounts of diversified economic capital held in respect of residual non-hedgeable risks.

Capital held in respect of non-hedgeable risks			£m
	At 30 June 2012	At 30 June 2011	At 31 December 2011
Emerging Markets	897	765	808
Wealth Management	833	828	831
Bermuda	275	331	335
Nordic	n/a	325	290
Total	2,005	2,249	2,264

During 2011 the methodology used to calculate non-hedgeable risk capital was enhanced and standardised across all insurance business units in order to align with emerging Solvency II requirements.

A weighted average cost of capital rate of 2.0% has been applied to residual symmetric and asymmetric non-hedgeable capital at a business unit level over the life of the contracts. This translates into an equivalent cost of capital rate of approximately 2.4% being applied to the Group diversified capital required in respect of such non-hedgeable risks.

United Kingdom:

The Emergency Budget that was held in June 2010 stated that the UK's mainstream corporation tax rate would be reduced from its current level of 28% down to 24% in annual 1% steps. Following that, there were further announcements for additional reductions, and accelerations of these reductions. The reduction to 25%, effective from April 2012, has been allowed for in the FY2011 results.The H1 2012 results allow for an additional 1% reduction to 24%, effective from April 2012 and the further 1% reduction to 23%, effective from April 2013. This additional 2% reduction amounts to £9 million in the H1 2012 results. The impact of the remaining reduction from 23% down to 22%, applicable from April 2014, is expected to be £4 million.

South Africa:

A new dividend withholding tax system (replacing the current Secondary Tax on Companies (STC) system) was introduced in South Africa effective from 1 April 2012. This was reflected in the results at 31 December 2011, i.e. no allowance was made in future for the impact of the new dividend withholding tax in the MCEV, except for an allowance for withholding tax on the remittance of dividends to Old Mutual plc, as the actual level of taxation would depend on the legal nature of each shareholder. The Emerging Markets MCEV increased by approximately R1,221 million (£105 million) while the value of new business for the year ended 31 December 2011 increased by approximately R104 million (£9 million).

Allowance has now been made for dividend withholding tax on dividends earned in the policyholder funds as well as allowing for the increase in capital gains tax in policyholder funds. These were the main contributors to MCEV reducing by £21 million (R270 million). The average effective tax rate remains unchanged at 28%.



(d) Value of debt
Senior and subordinated debt securities are marked to market (for IFRS reporting, debt is valued at either book value or fair value). The table below shows the comparison of debt on an IFRS and MCEV basis.

During 2011 a €550 million partial repayment, together with settlements of associated currency swaps, was made. On 18 January 2012 the remaining €200 million was repaid on the first call date.
²The principal and coupon on the bond were initially swapped into floating rate Swedish Kroner, at three month STIBOR plus 5.46%. Following the Nordic sale, £375 million of the coupon is now swapped into floating rate sterling at six month GBP LIBOR plus 4.15% and £125 million of principal and coupon is swapped into US dollars at six month USD LIBOR plus 5.49%.
³This differs from the value in the Borrowed Funds note E1 (b) by the accrued interest at the end of the year, which is included within the book value of the debt in determining the MCEV market value uplift to maintain consistency and comparability with the market value.

Where either the principal or the coupon of the debt security has been swapped into an alternate currency, the mark to market value of these derivative instruments of £79 million (30 June 2011: £104 million; 31 December 2011: £86 million) has not been included in the value of debt above; however, it is included in the Net Other Business value of £1,068 million (30 June 2011: £379 million; 31 December 2011: £175 million) (Adjusted Group MCEV presented per business line). Further information relating to the debt securities can be found in Note E1 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

A3: Assumptions

Non-economic assumptions

The management expenses attributable to life assurance business have been analysed between expenses relating to the acquisition of new business, maintenance of in-force business (including investment management expenses) and development projects.

§ All expected maintenance expense overruns affecting the covered business are allowed for in the calculations.

§ The MCEV makes provision for future development costs and one-off expenses (such as those incurred on the integration of businesses following an acquisition, restructuring costs and costs related to Solvency II implementation) that relate to covered business to the extent that such project costs are known with sufficient certainty, based on three year business plans.

§ Unallocated Group holding company expenses have been included to the extent that they are allocated to the covered business. The table below shows the proportion of future expenses attributable to the long-term business. The allocation of these expenses aligns to the proportion that the management expenses incurred by the covered businesses to the total management expenses incurred in the Group.

Economic assumptions

(a) Risk free reference rates and inflation

At 30 June 2012, no adjustments are made to swap yields to allow for liquidity premiums or credit risk premiums, apart from a liquidity premium adjustment to OMLAC(SA)'s Immediate Annuity business and Fixed Bond business. A liquidity premium adjustment is applied to OMLAC(SA)'s Fixed Bond business as OMLAC(SA) holds a portfolio of non-government bonds which have a market yield in excess of the risk free rate and the duration of the asset portfolio and the liability duration are a good match (meaning the asset portfolio is held to maturity). Cash flows on this product are also predictable and the company has adequate liquidity to withstand a substantial increase in lapses at all durations without having to sell bonds which further strengthens the case for applying a liquidity premium.

It is the directors' view that a proportion of non-government bond spreads at 30 June 2012 is attributable to a liquidity premium rather than only to credit and default allowances and that returns in excess of swap rates can be achieved, rather than entire spreads being lost to worsening default experience. For OMLAC(SA)'s Immediate Annuity business the currency, credit quality and duration of the actual bond portfolios were considered and adjusted risk free reference rates were derived at 30 June 2012 by adding 50bps of liquidity premium for this business (30 June 2011: 55bps; 31 December 2011: 50bps) to the swap rates used for setting investment return and discounting assumptions. For OMLAC(SA)'s Fixed Bond products 55 bps of liquidity premium was added to the swap rates (30 June 2011: 60bps; 31 December 2011: 50bps).These adjustments reflect the liquidity premium component in non-government bond spreads over swap rates that is expected to be earned on the portfolios. In deriving the liquidity premia at 30 June 2012, we have reviewed emerging Solvency II matching premium guidance and a comparison of the yields of similar durations on South African government bonds and bonds issues by state-owned enterprises. At those durations where swap yields are not available, e.g. due to lack of a sufficiently liquid or deep swap market, the swap curve is extended using appropriate interpolation or extrapolation techniques.

The risk free reference spot yields (excluding any applicable liquidity adjustments) and expense inflation rates at various terms for each of the significant regions are provided in the table below. The risk free reference spot yield curve has been derived from mid swap rates at the reporting date.

¹Due to limited liquidity in the ZAR swaption market, the market consistent asset model has been calibrated by extrapolating swaption and equity implied volatility data beyond a term of one year and 5 years respectively for assumptions at 30 June 2012 and 31 December 2011 June 2011: (2 year and 3 years respectively).
²December 2011 Equity implied volatilities were restated for comparability following ESG enhancements.

¹Long-term option implied volatility has been calibrated assuming a flat volatility term structure beyond 5 years due to limited data availability for some indices. The assumptions are shown as the annualised volatilities applicable over the entire option term specified, consistent with the disclosure of volatilities for other regions. These volatilities, as represented by their Bloomberg codes, refer to the price indices.

All MCEV figures are calculated in local currency and translated to GBP using the appropriate exchange rates as detailed in Note C2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

(d) Expected asset returns in excess of the risk free reference rates

The expected asset returns in excess of the risk free reference rates have no bearing on the calculated MCEV other than the calculation of the expected existing business contribution in the analysis of MCEV earnings. Real-world economic assumptions are determined with reference to one-year forward risk free reference rates applicable to the currency of the liabilities at the start of the reporting period. All other economic assumptions, for example future bonus or crediting rates, are set at levels consistent with the real-world investment return assumptions.

Equity and property risk premiums incorporate both historical relationships and the directors' view of future projected returns in each region over the analysis period. Pre-tax real-world economic assumptions are determined as follows:

§ The equity risk premium is 3.5% for Africa and 3% for Europe.

§ The cash return equals the one year risk free reference rate for all regions.

§ The corporate bond return is based on actual corporate bond spreads on the reporting date less an allowance for defaults.

§ The property risk premium is 1.5% in Africa and 2% in Europe.

(e) Tax
The weighted average effective tax rates that apply to the cash flow projections at 30 June 2012 are set out below:

Weighted average effective tax rates			%
	At 30 June 2012	At 30 June 2011	At 31 December 2011
OMLAC(SA)¹	28	33	28
Wealth Management	12	15	13
Bermuda	-	-	-
Nordic	n/a	4	4
¹The reduction in weighted average effective tax rate for OMLAC(SA) from 30 June 2011 to 30 June 2012 is as a result of the new dividend withholding tax effective from 1 April 2012 as detailed in Note A2 (c).

¹Includes adjustment for value of excess own shares in employee share scheme trusts. The movement in value between 31 December 2011 and 30 June 2012 is the net effect of the increase in the Old Mutual plc share price, the reduction in excess own shares following employee share grants in March 2011 and the reduction in overall shares held due to exercises of rights to take delivery of, or net settle, share grants during the financial period.
²The ROEV is calculated as the adjusted operating Group MCEV earnings after tax and non-controlling interests of £418 million (June 2011:£529 million; December 2011: £1,055 million) divided by the opening Group MCEV.

Overview

New Business: The new business value increased (compared to H1 2011) largely driven by an improvement in new business margins, with higher recurring premium sales, particularly in the Mass Foundation cluster. This is mostly offset by lower single premium sales in Retail Affluent and Corporate .

Operating earnings: Operating profits on the in-force book decreased (compared to H1 2011) largely due to lower experience variances in aggregate following assumption changes at 31 December 2011.

Non-operating earnings and closing adjustments: The most material impacts were a positive contribution from favourable market conditions and foreign exchange losses due to the depreciation of the rand against sterling .

New Business

New business margins were positively impacted by operating assumption changes at 31 December 2011 (mainly those relating to persistency), a more favourable economic basis, the effect of moving to a dividend withholding tax regime, as well as a shift in mix of sales towards higher margin recurring premium products.

Expected existing business contribution

The unwind of returns on the in-force business over H1 2012 was slightly higher than H1 2011. The higher unwind was the combined effect of higher 1-year risk-free rates and a higher opening MCEV balance on which the unwind is based.

Experience variances

Experience variances were less positive (compared to H1 2011) following the operating assumption changes made in December 2011. Mortality and morbidity variances were consistent with 2011 as a result of continued good experience in Retail Affluent and Mass Foundation Cluster, as well as an improvement on the Corporate Group Assurance business. Experience variances were also impacted by higher than expected taxation and central costs, partially offset by the release of provisions held in respect of legacy products.

Other operating variances

The negative other operating variance consists of miscellaneous modelling and methodology changes, including an increase in the CNHR resulting from the recalculation of the non-hedgeable risk capital.

Economic variances

Favourable economic variances in 2012 were a result of positive market performance, including a 7% rise in the JSE SWIX price index, and a reduction in the level of the South African swap curve.

Other non-operating variances

Other non-operating variances consist mainly of modelling changes to incorporate the new South African dividend withholding tax regime and higher capital gains tax in the calculation of policyholder investment returns in MCEV models.

Capital and dividend flows

This includes the net impact of dividends, partially offset by the proceeds from the net sale of the plc loan note in Bahamas, and the transfer of the Zimbabwean and Namibian holding companies from the non-covered to the covered business.

Foreign exchange effects

The negative foreign exchange result was due to a 2% depreciation in the rand against sterling over H1 2012.

Overview

New business: The new business value decreased (compared to H1 2011), driven by lower volumes and lower new business margins. UK Legacy sales were impacted by the managed reduction in available product range, whereas offshore international market sales decreased largely due to concerns relating to the eurozone and uncertainty surrounding the Qualifying Recognised Overseas Pensions Scheme (QROPS) proposition given changes in qualifying criteria published by the HMRC.

Operating earnings: Operating profits on the in-force book decreased (compared to H1 2011) due to a reduced new business value and lower experience variances following the release of prudence margins at 31 December 2011.

Non-operating earnings and closing adjustments: The most material impacts were from capital returned to Group in the year, a positive contribution from favourable market conditions, and foreign exchange losses due to the depreciation of the euro against sterling.

New Business

New business margins were negatively affected by a reduction in sales volumes and the shift to a less profitable product mix in the offshore international market, partially offset a more favourable economic basis and favourable UK corporation tax changes.

Experience variances

Experience variances reduced (compared to H1 2011) following the release of prudence margins at 31 December 2011. A positive persistency variance emerged as assumptions made to anticipate the effects of the Retail Distribution Review (RDR) have yet to emerge on the legacy business in the UK. This was offset by maintenance expense losses due to expense over-runs in Wealth Management Europe.

Economic variances

Favourable economic variances in 2012 were a result of positive market performance and a reduction in the level of the UK and euro swap curves.

Other non-operating variances

Other non-operating variances include the benefit of reductions in headline UK corporation tax from 25% to 23% of £9m.

Capital and dividend flows and Foreign exchange effects

Transfers from covered business mainly relate to dividend payments to Group, namely a £27m dividend from International and a £36m dividend from Wealth Management Europe.

Foreign exchange effects

The foreign exchange variance is mainly due to unfavourable exchange rate movements on translation as a result of a 4% depreciation of the euro against sterling over H1 2011.

Overview

Operating earnings: Operating profits increased (compared to H1 2011) mainly due to positive persistency variances on Variable Annuity products mainly due to the release of reserves for guaranteed benefits and the impact of one-off modelling changes in 2011 that were not repeated.

Non-operating earnings and closing adjustments: The most material impact was the reduction in Variable Annuity Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Benefit (GMAB) reserves, largely due to positive capital market conditions in H1 2011.

Experience variances

The positive experience variance in 2012 was mainly driven by higher than expected surrenders of Variable Annuity contracts with Universal Guarantee Option (UGO) benefits. Both non-Hong-Kong UGO and Hong-Kong UGO contracts had better than anticipated experience following 5^th anniversary top-up dates. The improved persistency experience resulted in an ANW increase of £17 million (due to the release of reserves for guaranteed benefits), partially offset by a reduction in the VIF of £9 million (due to the lower expected fee income).

Operating assumption changes

The negative variance of £5 million is primarily due to updates to assumed global index exposure used in the valuation of Variable Annuity guarantees.

Other operating variances

The movement between free surplus and required capital is mainly due to the current policy of calculating required capital as the ANW held in the business.

Economic variances

Favourable economic variances were largely due to positive capital market conditions reducing the value of Variable Annuity GMAB reserves.

For the year ended 31 December 2011, Old Mutual Reassurance (Ireland) Limited (OMRe), which provides reinsurance to the United States Life Companies, is included within the Old Mutual plc results. For all comparative periods, the results for US Life include allowance for OMRe.

The sale of the US Life insurance business to Harbinger Capital Partners was completed, following regulatory approval, on 7 April 2011. This transaction has resulted in an uplift of £451 million to the adjusted Group MCEV, based on the 31 December 2010 value for US Life.

C: Other key performance information

C1: Value of new business (after tax)

The tables below set out the regional analysis of the value of new business (VNB) after tax. New business profitability is measured by both the ratio of the VNB to the present value of new business premiums (PVNBP) as well as to the annual premium equivalent (APE), and shown under PVNBP margin and APE margin below. APE is calculated as recurring premiums plus 10% of single premiums. Bermuda is excluded from the tables below as it is closed to new business.

¹The PVNBP capitalisation factors are calculated as follows: (PVNBP - single premiums)/annualised recurring premiums.

The value of new individual unit trust linked retirement annuities and pension fund asset management business written by the Emerging Markets long-term business of £518 million (30 June 2011: £465 million; 31 December 2011: £884 million) is excluded as the profits on this business arise in the asset management business. The value of new business also excludes premium increases arising from indexation arrangements in respect of existing business, as these are already included in the value of in-force business.

The value of new institutional investment platform pensions business written in Wealth Management of £322 million (30 June 2011: £229 million; 31 December 2011: £704 million) is excluded as this is more appropriately classified as unit trust business.

New business single premiums of £16 million (31 December 2011: £31 million), annualised recurring premiums of £9 million (31 December 2011: £14 million), and APE of £11 million (31 December 2011: £17 million), in respect of the life business in Kenya, Malawi, Nigeria, Swaziland, and Zimbabwe have been excluded from the above tables, as no value of new business and PVNBP calculations have been performed for these businesses.

New business recurring premiums of £8 million in relation to credit life sales in Emerging Markets have been excluded in APE figures and annualised recurring premium.

The adjustments to include long-term business on a statutory solvency basis reflect the difference between the net worth of each business on the statutory basis (as required by the local regulator) and their portion of the Group's consolidated equity shareholder funds. In South Africa, these values exclude items that are eliminated or shown separately on consolidation (such as Nedbank and inter-company loans). For some European countries the value reflected in the adjustment to include long-term business on a statutory solvency basis includes the value of the deferred acquisition cost asset, which is part of the equity.

The adjustment to include long-term business on a statutory solvency basis includes the following:

§ The excess of the IFRS amount of the deferred acquisition cost (DAC) and value of business acquired (VOBA) assets over the statutory levels included in the VIF with the exception of the Bermuda business where DAC is an admissible asset under local statutory basis.

§ When projecting future profits on a statutory basis, the VIF includes the shareholders' value of unrealised capital gains. To the extent that assets in IFRS are valued at market and the market value is higher than the statutory book value, these profits have already been taken into account in the IFRS equity. For Bermuda business, VIF reflects the impact of amortizing DAC allowed under the ANW.

D1: Sensitivity tests

The tables below show the sensitivity of the MCEV, value of in-force business at 30 June 2012 and the value of new business for the six months ended 30 June 2012 to changes in key assumptions.

§ Economic assumptions 1% increase: Increasing all pre-tax investment and economic assumptions by 1%, with credited rates and discount rates changing commensurately

§ Economic assumptions 1% decrease: Decreasing all pre-tax investment and economic assumptions by 1%, with credited rates and discount rates changing commensurately

§ 10bps increase of liquidity spreads: Recognising the present value of an additional 10bps of liquidity spreads assumed on corporate bonds over the lifetime of the liabilities, with credited rates and discount rates changing commensurately ( for Emerging Markets only).

For each sensitivity illustrated all other assumptions have been left unchanged except where they are directly affected by the revised conditions. Sensitivity scenarios therefore include consistent changes in cash flows directly affected by the changed assumption(s), for example future bonus participation in changed economic scenarios.
