About Old Mutual plc
Old Mutual plc is a holding company for several financial
services companies. In March 2016, it announced a new strategy of
managed separation entailing the separation of its underlying
businesses into independently-listed, standalone entities.
BrightSphere Investment Group, a US based institutional asset
manager, which rebranded from OM Asset Management in March 2018, is
now independent from Old Mutual. The remaining underlying
businesses are:
OML (which includes Old Mutual Emerging Markets): OML has an
ambition to become a premium financial services group in
sub-Saharan Africa and offers a broad spectrum of financial
solutions to retail and corporate customers across key market
segments in 17 countries.
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.
Quilter: Quilter (formerly 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.
For the year ended 31 December 2017, Old Mutual reported an
adjusted operating profit before tax of GBP2.0 billion. For further
