In championing the importance of advice, we understand the challenges advisers face in winning new clients and servicing existing clients efficiently and profitably.

A recent survey informed us that 90% of clients acknowledge that they get value from seeing their adviser on a regular basis, with the key benefits being confidence and peace of mind*. Delivering this service level to clients can however be time consuming and expensive.

At Old Mutual Wealth we provide a range of ‘value added’ products and services that help you deliver first class solutions to your clients more efficiently and more cost effectively.

From professional Wealth Management Consultants on the ground, to award-winning tools, solutions and hands-on practical support from the UK industry’s best specialist team, we really are investing to ensure we meet the demands of the changing face of financial services in the UK market.

PROMOTING THE IMPORTANCE OF ADVICE, SUPPORTING THE RELATIONSHIP YOU HAVE WITH YOUR CLIENTS

Old Mutual Wealth has a long history of supporting financial advisers and we recognise that, for you, the most important relationship you have is with your clients.

To support your advice process we help clients to be engaged with their finances and understand the important choices they need to make. Our belief is that, by recognising the importance of these decisions, they will be more likely to seek the kind of advice you can provide.

In the new world of choice following the pension reforms people need advice more than ever before. Our retirement research and adviser resources can help you to really get to grips with clients’ expectations.

• We can help you obtain new client referrals through our ‘Find an Adviser’ tool.

• We provide you with tax and financial planning support through our technical specialists and through our Knowledge Direct website.

• In association with the Chartered Insurance Institute, our Investment Academy is helping advisers to pass their AF4.

• We are investing significantly in our systems to ensure our platforms are the most flexible in the market.

• We stand up for the financial advice industry and will lobby against and challenge regulatory issues if we believe they are of detriment to you or your clients.

• We recognise that the product your clients buy is as a result of your advice.

90% of people who see a financial adviser on a regular basis feel the advice has benefitted them*.

MAKING IT EASY FOR YOUR CLIENTS TO SAY YES -HELPING YOU DELIVER GREAT CLIENT OUTCOMES

Your clients’ satisfaction is imperative, so we invest heavily in making your clients’ experience of investing with us easy, clear and encouraging.

Being part of the Old Mutual Group means our scale gives us considerable buying power, which we can share with you and your clients by giving them access to a wide range of funds at competitive prices.

• We are a FTSE 100® company with £335.7 billion*of client money under administration, so your clients can have peace of mind knowing that they are investing with a trusted institution.

• We have removed our drawdown and minimum investment charge. There’s now one single, transparent charge that’s easy for clients to understand and doesn’t affect investment decisions.

• We can provide faster access to investment performance by:

– prefunding switches and reducing the time clients’ money is out of the market

– prefunding tax relief of pension contributions, meaning your client’s money is invested for longer.

• We have also built a mobile and tablet-friendly Online Customer Centre giving clients easy access to their investments online. Certain features can be disabled to ensure you stay in control.

* 30 June 2015

We aim to offer the best investment and protection products on the most flexible investment platforms with unbeaten support for you and your clients, at great value.

CREATING RETIREMENT ADVICE OPPORTUNITIES AND FLEXIBLE RETIREMENT SOLUTIONS

Since the pension reforms came into effect, we’ve uncovered a wealth of retirement advice ideas to help you guide your clients to the retirement they want.

These advice ideas include our latest insight into the pension freedoms, such as using small pots legislation, getting money into pensions and exploiting the changes in death benefits. And from day one of the new rules we extended the range of flexible retirement income solutions available to your clients through our CRA.

The CRA delivers all of the following options under the same, single product:

• Flexi-access drawdown.

• Capped drawdown.

• Small pots.

• Taxable lump sums from uncrystallised funds via flexi access drawdown.

• Full encashment.

• The open market option.

• And, most importantly, from a legacy perspective, nominees’ flexi-access drawdown.

This gives you the withdrawal options you need to ensure your clients don’t pay too much in tax, allows your clients to gain access to their money when they need it, and helps them to leave a tax-efficient legacy. All of which is provided at no additional cost.

The CRA is gold star rated by Defaqto, with a pension service rating of 91%*; the highest score achieved across the industry – recognition of leading service following the biggest change to pensions in 100 years.

Ask your Old Mutual Wealth Consultant for your copy of our Life2 boxset, containing clear retirement planning opportunities that will benefit your clients.

In an ever-changing regulatory landscape it’s crucial that financial advisers stay ahead of the game.

We offer an extensive range of time-saving tools on our platform and adviser website, plus all the support and technical expertise you need to help you maximise opportunities for your clients.

It’s the little things that make a difference, so as well as developing sophisticated tools we look for simple ways to make your life easier – such as increasing the number of ways you can provide us with instructions and making sure that there is someone on- hand to answer your queries.

We give you the option of outsourcing your centralised investment proposition to Old Mutual Wealth which delivers great performance and efficient client reporting.

HELPING YOU CREATE TIME WITHIN YOUR BUSINESS

PORTFOLIO SUMMARY

COLLECTIVE INVESTMENT BOND

THE FOLLOWING PAGES PROVIDE A BREAKDOWN OF THE STRATEGY

OF YOUR PORTFOLIO

WHAT ARE VOLATILITY TARGETS?

One of the main measures of investment risk is volatility, w

hich

is a measure of the amount an investment rises and falls over

time. Your portfolio is risk-targeted and has 3 year volatility

targets rather than targets for a particular level of growth. By

targeting risk and volatility th

e portfolios should behave more

as you expect over time.

PORTFOLIO STYLE

Different funds have different investment styles and we can

mix these within your portfolio. Active funds aim to beat a

particular market or index and you pay a premium for this.

Passive funds aim to just track the performance of a market

or index and are cheaper accordingly. The mix within your

portfolio can determine it’s cost and potential performance.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR INVESTMENTS

With all investments part performance is not a guide to future performance and you may not get back what you invested,

but having an understanding of your investments, and the way they behave, will help you feel comfortable with any ups

and downs along the way. All investments carry risks and knowing what they are can help you manage them. You’ll find

information about some of them within this report but for a full understanding of investment risk v
