Old Mutual Wealth showcase

Old Mutual plc ('Old Mutual') will be holding a showcase today, 15 November 2017, on its Old Mutual Wealth business.  The showcase will feature presentations and question and answer sessions from the management team, including Paul Feeney and Tim Tookey, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, respectively.

The programme will include an overview of the strategic direction and growth prospects of the business as well as presentations covering each of the divisions, followed by the financial highlights.  No material new financial information or operational targets will be announced.

The presentation will also cover the UK Platform transformation programme.  The expected timing of delivery and cost estimates, as previously announced, remain unchanged.

Old Mutual Wealth remains on track to list in 2018 at the earliest opportunity after Old Mutual's 2017 full year financial results.

The showcase will take place at the Old Mutual presentation suite in London and will start today at 12:30 GMT (14:30 South African time).  Representatives of the management team will be conducting investor meetings following the showcase in South Africa, the UK and the US.

Brand update

Old Mutual Wealth announces today that it will become Quilter plc upon separation from Old Mutual. Quilter traces its origins back to 1771. Old Mutual Wealth considers that Quilter is a brand that stands for quality for personal service and for dependability; values that remain at the heart of Old Mutual Wealth's business philosophy today. 

Re-segmentation

Old Mutual Wealth also announces the re-segmentation of the business into two divisions: 'Advice and Wealth Management' and 'Wealth Platforms'. The Advice and Wealth Management segment will include: Intrinsic, which will be rebranded to Quilter Financial Planning; the multi-asset business, which will become Quilter Investors and Quilter Cheviot which will retain its name.

The Wealth Platforms segment will include the UK Platform which will become Quilter Wealth Solutions and Old Mutual Wealth's International business which will become Quilter International. The Heritage life assurance business in this segment will become Quilter Life Assurance.

Old Mutual Wealth intends to rebrand the businesses within the segments over a period of approximately two years from separation from Old Mutual. There will be no immediate changes for customers.  

A re-presentation of historic financial disclosures on the new segmentation basis as well as reconciliations between the old and new segmentation are included in the presentation materials to be provided later today and will be on the Old Mutual website. This financial information is unaudited.

Ongoing review of part of Old Mutual Global Investors

Old Mutual Wealth and Old Mutual continue to assess, together with the management of Old Mutual Global Investors ('OMGI'), internal and external structures for the single strategy business to continue to develop it further.  OMGI management from the single strategy part of the business will not be presenting at today's conference and the disclosed consolidated unaudited financial information will exclude contributions from the single strategy business. 

Third quarter results

Old Mutual Wealth announced on 26 October 2017 net client cash flows for the nine months ended 30 September 2017 of £7.3 billion and funds under management at 30 September 2017 of £131.3 billion with these figures inclusive of the contribution from the single strategy business within OMGI.
