             Old Mutual Asset Management (US) Reports Affiliates' 
               Assets Under Management for Third Quarter 2006


BOSTON-October 31, 2006 -- Old Mutual Asset Management, the U.S. asset
management group of Old Mutual plc (LSE: OML), announced assets under management
(AUM) by the group's member firms of $237.3 billion, as of September 30, 2006.
Funds under management increased $6.5 billion for the quarter, or 2.8% ahead of
AUM in the second quarter. This increase was driven by strong net inflows of
client assets, which totaled $9.5 billion for the quarter, a 4.1% change.
Investment return in the AUM at member firms resulted in an increase in AUM of
$7.4 billion for the quarter, which represented a 3.2% change. In September,
$10.4 billion of AUM from First Pacific Advisors was transferred out of Old
Mutual Asset Management, resulting in a -4.5% change.

'Strong net inflows from new and existing clients of our member firms continue
to boost our total assets under management,' said Scott Powers, chief executive
of Old Mutual Asset Management. 'Growth drivers continue to be our ability to
deliver attractive investment returns and innovative products, and a business
model that fully supports the efforts of member firms to excel.'
