Markets & Economics
30 SEPTEMBER 2012 TO 31 DECEMBER 2012
SOUTH AFRICA
Apart from lurking global concerns and risks, local investors faced home-
grown concerns, too, during the fourth quarter of 2012. These included
a wave of labour unrest, a serious disruption to mining production, a
very large and growing foreign trade shortfall, a slump in the rand,
slowing economic growth and considerable political uncertainty in
the run-up to the ruling party’s conference in Mangaung. Yet, despite
all these global and local concerns, the local equity market marched
relentlessly higher over the quarter, with the FTSE/JSE All Share Index
gaining almost 10%.
Key to the divergent behaviour of investor concerns and market
performance is that some of the key monetary transmission mechanisms
are still perceived to be “broken”. Importantly, the weaker rand has
not resulted in much higher inflation expectations or more bearish
views on interest rate prospects. As such, the weaker rand is actually
good for local producers as it is unlikely to trigger damage via higher
inflation and interest rates, as has typically been the pattern in the
past. Moreover, the ANC’s conference turned out far more market
friendly than investors had expected, not only with the election of
businessman Cyril Ramaphosa as the ANC’s deputy president, but also
through relatively pragmatic policy decisions and the acceptance of
the widely applauded National Development Plan as the backbone of
future government economic policy.
Still, despite a moderately improved global outlook, local macro-
economic prospects for 2013 are poor. Growth is expected to again
be sub-3%, a rate at which very few jobs will be created. This implies
that all eyes have now turned to Government to effect the necessary
policy changes to pave the way for higher growth over the medium
term. These include the faster roll-out of infrastructure expansion, a
far more effective public sector bureaucracy when it comes to service
delivery, ruthlessly stamping out corruption, creating a generally more
business-friendly environment by creating greater policy certainty, and
regaining full control over current government expenditure and the
fiscal situation in general.
OMIGSA Economic Research Unit view: 2013 will be another year
of subdued economic growth and limited job creation. However, the
ANC’s recent conference has paved the way for growth-enhancing policy
reforms. The coming year will prove whether or not Government is
committed to implement these.
Comments from Rian le Roux
Chief Economist
InTeRnATIOnAl
As was the case in the third quarter, the fourth quarter of 2012 presented
investors with lots of macro-economic cross-currents to navigate.
On the positive side, news flow about the European debt crisis has
gradually improved during the second half of 2012, while incoming
data suggests the giant economies of the USA and China continue to
grow at relatively acceptable paces, and on the policy front the US
Federal Reserve, Chinese policymakers and the Japanese government/
Bank of Japan have all promised solid policy support to encourage
economic growth and job creation. Against this background, investors’
two key fears of 2012, namely Eurozone disintegration (and financial
chaos flowing from that) and/or a global economic hard landing did
not materialise.
However, there were also a number of issues on the macro front that
kept investors concerned. On the growth front, the Eurozone remained
in deep recession, Japan continues to struggle with deflation and is
threatening to relapse into recession, and commodity producers are
struggling too, as commodity prices remain relatively depressed. The
biggest concern of the final quarter of the year was the approaching US
“fiscal cliff”, according to which US fiscal policy would effectively be
tightened by some 4% of GDP from 1 January 2013, unless existing US
legislation is changed. Such a fiscal shock would almost certainly tilt the
US economy back into recession. As the quarter progressed, investors’
concerns about a fiscal shock mounted as Democrats and Republicans
remained heavily divided over how to tackle the problem. These fears
were the prime reason for the sell-off in equity markets over the course
of the quarter. As concerns rose, markets worried and commentators
around the world urged US lawmakers to reach consensus. However, it
appeared that some kind of a deal would be reached at the last minute.
We continue to hold the view that US lawmakers will not allow the US
to flop back into recession due to an unacceptably severe tightening
in fiscal policy, and that fiscal tightening in 2013 will be of the order
of about 1.5% of GDP. Fiscal tightening of such a magnitude will act as
a drag on the US recovery, but not derail it.
OMIGSA Economic Research Unit view: Looking forward to 2013, we
expect global growth to accelerate moderately, central banks to provide
lots of monetary support, the Eurozone crisis to continue to gradually
fade as a prime concern for investors, and fiscal tightening to continue
over a broad front globally. This should provide a supportive backdrop
for growth assets in 2013.

NEW CLIENT INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE MODEL FOR PERSONALISED MAX INVESTMENTS AND MAX INCOME SOLUTIONS
Old Mutual Max Investments and Max Income Solutions have introduced a new investment model for clients, centred on the client’s
personal investment objectives. This represents a move away from the traditional investment model focusing on a client’s risk profile,
in recognition that this method is limited by typically only measuring short-term risk positioning.
By taking into account the client’s investment objective, the new investment model aligns the investor’s actual investment solution
with their long-term financial goals. It also creates improved consistency across products, and aligns Old Mutual’s retail investment
advice practices.
To implement the new investment model, Old Mutual’s Investment Analysis Tool now places clients into one of five investment objective
categories, and recommends certain funds or combinations of funds to meet each of these objectives. The choice of funds is based on
their risk ratings and on analyses of their historical returns, depending on asset class exposure.
The table below presents the new client investment objective model in a nutshell, highlighting the five client investment objectives
and the recommended combination of funds tailored to meet these objectives.

FUnD COMMEnTARY as at 31/12/2012The FTSE/JSE All Share Index (ALSI) had a very strong fourth quarter, gaining 10.3%,
with returns of 26.7% for the 2012 calendar year. Listed property enjoyed another
year of very strong returns, delivering 35.9% for the year. The All Bond Index and
the Inflation-linked Bond Index gained 16% and 19.4% respectively for the year. Cash
returned 5.5%. Globally, it was a good year for equities with the MSCI ACWI up 16.8%
measured in US dollars. Emerging markets outperformed developed markets for the
year with strong relative performance in the last quarter. Commodity prices were
generally higher for the year with Brent crude gaining 2.3%, copper was up by 4.2%
and gold was 5.6% higher. The rand had a volatile year losing 4.1% against the US
dollar and 5.7% against the euro.
In line with the excellent returns from growth assets the fund enjoyed an 18.2%
return for the year. The fund benefited from exposure to both local and international
property, an overweight position in emerging markets and the purchase of convertible
bonds. However, with the benefit of hindsight holding, any cash was a mistake as
that dragged on performance. During the year, the fund reduced exposure to certain
shares which had run hard, which increased the cash allocation. Over the last decade,
the fund has delivered an annual return of 16.4%, growing investor capital more than
four-fold. We do not expect such good returns in the next decade, but the fund will
strive to deliver decent real returns, enjoying the flexibility to invest across asset
classes and markets.

The opinions expressed herein are not intended to serve as authoritative investment advice and should not be used in substitution for the exercise of own judgement.

Past performance or fund benchmark performance is not necessarily a guide to the future and investors may not get back the full amount invested. When a subscription involves a foreign exchange transaction, it may be subject to the fluctuations of currency values. Exchange rates may also cause the value of underlying overseas investments to go down or up. It should be noted that investments within the fund may not be readily marketable. It may therefore be difficult for an investor to withdraw from the fund or to obtain reliable information about its value and the extent of the risks to which it is exposed.

been overweight to inflation-linked bonds for some time now and they performed
exceptionally well last year. Despite this outperformance, we continue to hold these
bonds as they offer inflation protection and we continue to see little scope for real
returns from cash. The fund remains fully invested in offshore assets as we continue
to find good value in international equities relative to other asset classes.

OLD MUTUAL BALANCED LIFE FUND(with Guarantee) PREVIOUSLY KNOWN AS OpTIMIsED BALANCED FUND (WIth GUARANtEE)
FUND COMMENTARY as at 31/12/2012The FTSE/JSE All Share Index (ALSI) had a very strong fourth quarter, gaining 10.3%,
with returns of 26.7% for the 2012 calendar year. Listed property enjoyed another
year of very strong returns, delivering 35.9% for the year. The All Bond Index and
the Inflation-linked Bond Index gained 16% and 19.4% respectively for the year.
Cash returned 5.5%. Globally, it was a good year for equities with the MSCI ACWI up
16.8% measured in US dollars. Emerging markets outperformed developed markets
for the year with strong relative performance in the last quarter. Commodity prices
were generally higher for the year with Brent crude gaining 2.3%, copper was up by
4.2% and gold was 5.6% higher. The rand had a volatile year losing 4.1% against the
US dollar and 5.7% against the euro.
The fund performed well in 2012 on an absolute return basis, relative to the other
funds in its category and against its own performance objective of CPI + 6%. We have
been overweight to inflation-linked bonds for some time now and they performed
exceptionally well last year. Despite this outperformance, we continue to hold these
bonds as they offer inflation protection and we continue to see little scope for real
returns from cash. The fund remains fully invested in offshore assets as we continue
to find good value in international equities relative to other asset classes.
GUARANTEE DATE
The Guarantee Date is set five years from the day of first investment into the fund. On the Guarantee Date the full Fund Value is available without adjustment and a
new Guarantee Date is set for five years into the future. Guarantee Dates also come into effect on contractual recurring premium plans at the end of the premium-
paying term. There is no Guarantee Date where the premium-paying term is less than five years.
GUARANTEED MINIMUM FUND VALUE
On the Guarantee Date, the Guaranteed Minimum Fund Value equals the net premiums (premiums after premium charges) and/or net amount(s) invested into the
fund, increased by the guaranteed growth rate of 3% per annum, subject to the provisions below. Irregular payments invested less than two years before a Guarantee
Date will not be fully guaranteed, but will be guaranteed to the extent of 80% of the net irregular payment invested. Old Mutual is entitled to change the two-year
period to another period. Irregular payments include, but are not limited to, additional single premium payments, voluntary premium increases or payments in excess
of the 20% excess premium provisions of the regulations under section 54 of the Long-term Insurance Act 1998 in force as at 1 August 2002 (the 20% provisions),
switches into the fund and zero interest loan repayments. The 20% provisions as at 1 August 2002 shall continue to apply notwithstanding any subsequent amendment
or repeal. On each Guarantee Date, an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Guaranteed Minimum Fund Value over the actual Fund Value will be credited to the
Investment Plan. please note that these returns exclude the 3% p.a. guarantee charge.
DIsINVEsTMENT VALUE
Any part disinvestment from the fund, including income payments and switches out of the fund (including switches to the Capital Secured Fund when a plan is ceded
as security to Old Mutual), will reduce the level of the Guaranteed Minimum Fund Value. The level of the Guarantee will reduce in the same proportion as the Fund
Value is decreased.

and gold was 5.6% higher. The rand had a volatile year losing 4.1% against the US
dollar and 5.7% against the euro.
The fund finished 2012 with its annual performance well ahead of cash and inflation.
The fund enjoyed exposure to the top performing asset classes of the year including SA
listed property, domestic equity and inflation-linked bonds. Within equities, exposure
to resources shares was a drag on performance, notwithstanding the selection of other
excellent equity performers including Richemont, Old Mutual and Life Healthcare.
During December, the fund bought holdings in Absa and Lonmin, both of which we
believe to be well positioned for recovery in 2013. The fund increased its global
exposure following a strong year in SA equities and property.

Optimised GROWtH LiFe Fund
Fund COmmentARY as at 31/12/2012Looking at the returns of the various indices for the 2012 calendar year, the FTSE/JSE
All Share Index returned 26.7% with positive contributions from industrials (36.5%),
consumer goods (42.9%) and financials (38.1%) while resources shares dragged the
overall returns down, posting a mere 5.4% return for the 12 months. Despite the
market’s willingness to bid share prices higher, our valuations see limited opportunities
for much higher prices. We do, though, recognise that in the current environment of
low interest rates and concerted efforts by central banks around the world to support
economic growth, share prices are likely to continue to grind higher. For this reason,
we hold low levels of cash in our portfolios.
We remain cautious on the outlook for China and, therefore, on the outlook for
commodity prices, as China will continue to struggle to sort out a number of significant
imbalances in their economy. We do recognise that resources shares are beginning
to offer some value, based on long-term historical trend earnings, but conditions for
the miners are likely to remain tough.
Regarding South Africa, we are cautious on the outlook for the rand relative to
developed world currencies because of the sizeable current account deficit, which is
being financed to a large extent by foreign portfolio flows, leaving the rand vulnerable
to a change of heart by foreigners. It is for this reason that we have chosen to hold
a number of shares with varying degrees of rand-hedge qualities in the portfolio.
Appropriately valued, high quality shares fulfil an important core status in our funds,
including British American Tobacco (BAT), SABMiller, Sanlam, Bidvest and Remgro.
Our large holding in Old Mutual has served us well, as we identified early on that the
market was ignoring the significant changes in the dynamics of the group since 2008.
Well-considered diversification is as important as ever in the current market and
to our approach, which places significant emphasis on the risk return dynamic and
provides a steady framework, not only in these markets but in all market conditions.

construction process to ensure that the potential of our research
ideas is maximised in the funds we manage.

Optimised HiGH GROWtH LiFe Fund
Fund COmmentARY as at 31/12/2012For the quarter ending 31 December 2012, the FTSE/JSE All Share Index (ALSI) and
the FTSE/JSE Shareholder Weighted All Share Index (SWIX) gained 10.3% and 10.1%,
respectively. Over the quarter, industrial shares performed the best, rising 13.2%,
while financials rose 11.2% and resources rose 7.1%. Large caps gained 10.9%, mid-
caps gained 7.7% and small caps gained 8.0%.
Within the resources sector, we continue to have a bias towards the large diversified
and high-quality mining companies, as they are typically low-cost producers with
diversified income streams across various commodities and geographies. We also hold
selected single-commodity shares in businesses that we believe have a competitive
position in their respective industries.
In the South African industrial sector, we have reduced the fund’s exposure to a few
of the domestic consumer industrials as they have now reached full value. With the
proceeds, we have slightly increased exposure to selected, high-quality and better-
value rand-hedge industrial shares. We have also purchased some great quality mid-
and small cap local industrial businesses that are trading at attractive valuations.
Within financials, based on our company valuations, we retain our preference for
selected banks and assurers where we continue to believe that more upside potential
exists in their restructuring initiatives.
At the end of December, the fund remained highly focused, with the top 15 shares
comprising over 60% of the fund.

OLD MUTUAL EDGE 28 LIFE FUND
FUND INFORMATION
RISK RATING
FUND OBJECTIVE
The fund aims to deliver long-term equity-like returns while still remaining
within the requirements of Regulation 28 of the Pension Funds Act. To
achieve this objective the fund will have a close to 100% allocation to
growth asset classes as permitted by Regulation 28.
WHO IS THIS FUND FOR?
This fund is suited to investors who want high long-term capital growth,
but who do not want to be limited to the general balanced nature of
Regulation 28 compliant funds. The fund is suitable for long-term savings
inside a retirement fund. It is aimed at customers at the start or middle
of their pre-retirement savings phase who still have an investment time
horizon exceeding 10 years.
RECOMMENDED MINIMUM INVESTMENT TERM
INVESTMENT MANDATE
The fund will invest primarily in growth assets while still complying
with the maximum asset allocations under Regulation 28. The fund
will mostly invest in equities, property and alternatives, with a small
exposure to fixed interest and cash. The strategic asset allocation
will require most of the assets to be allocated to equity, property
and alternative investments. The fund manager can elect to hold less
risky asset classes should they offer better value from time to time.

OLD MUTUAL EDGE 28 LIFE FUND
FUND COMMENTARy as at 31/12/2012The JSE/FTSE ALSI had a very strong fourth quarter, gaining 10.3%, with returns of 26.7%
for the 2012 calendar year. Listed property had another year of very strong returns,
delivering 35.9% for the year. The All Bond Index and the Inflation-linked Bond Index
gained 16% and 19.4% respectively for the year, while cash returned 5.6%. Globally
it was a good year for equities with the MSCI ACWI up 16.8% measured in US dollars.
Emerging markets outperformed developed markets for the year with strong relative
performance in the last quarter. Commodity prices were generally higher for the year
with Brent crude gaining 2.3%, copper was up by 4.2% and gold was 5.6% higher. The
rand had a volatile year losing 4.1% against the US dollar and 5.7% against the euro.
The fund has been heavily exposed to risk assets throughout the year. The strong
run of these assets resulted in the fund delivering a 23% return for the calendar
year, nearly 10% ahead of the long-term objective of inflation plus 8%. The 12-month
performance of the fund also compares favourably with many equity-only funds in
terms of return and volatility.
Equity and property remain our preferred asset classes over the next three to five
years. As such, the fund retains its pro-growth stance. As highlighted last quarter, the
fund moved to the maximum allowed in offshore assets. This position is driven by our
view on the currency and the attractive investment opportunities globally. The fund
continues to hold NewGold as it also offers protection against a weaker currency.

FuNd coMMENtary as at 31/12/2012Our overall stance remains one of greater caution, best reflected by the higher exposure
to inflation-linked bonds and the fact that we are reluctant holders of low-earning
cash. Our inflation-linked bond position is supported by a number of factors, some
of which are already playing out. Although real yields are very low, we continue to
view the risk of rising real yields as minimal, mainly on the back of upside risk to
headline consumer inflation over the next few months. This, in turn, is partly linked
to rand-unfriendly balance-of-payment developments, specifically the growing risk
that foreign capital flows fail to fill the void left by the widening current account
deficit. Although the fund’s duration is lower than it was six months ago, we opted
to retain some fixed rate bonds in maturities over 12 months, as the steep positively
sloped yield curve offers value relative to cash.

WhO IS thIS funD fOr?This fund is suited to investors who strive for long-term capital growth as well as some level of capital protection.
reCOMMenDeD MInIMuM InveStMent terM
InveStMent ManDateThe fund invests across shares, bonds and cash — moving from shares into fixed interest investments when the fund’s value drops below a predetermined “floor”. When markets start to move up, the fund increases its holdings in shares, tapping into these growth opportunities. Derivatives may also be tactically used to manage and limit downside risk and to capture or lock in gains as and when they occur. The fund conforms to retirement fund legislation. In order to achieve the fund objective the portfolio manager may choose to gain exposure to the described assets and asset classes by investing through OMLACSA pooled portfolios, collective investment schemes or a combination thereof.
DYnaMIC flOOr teChnOlOGYEquities are the key driver of long-term after-tax returns in excess of inflation, but they introduce short-term capital risk. The manager therefore uses dynamic floor technology to reduce the risk of loss in the fund, whilst still allowing the fund to benefit from positive equity performance. In other words, dynamic asset allocation decisions are driven by a quantitative process that reduces exposure to riskier assets in a declining or volatile equity market in favour of more stable assets like cash. The opposite would apply in a rising equity market. Furthermore, as positive returns are generated above a certain level, so the floor is raised in order to protect these returns from future losses. The floor is typically set at 10% below the current fund value, with a one-year time horizon. It does not represent a guarantee but reflects a target maximum loss in any one year whilst still giving the fund uncapped upside potential.

Wealth DefenDer lIfe funD
funD COMMentarY as at 31/12/2012December and the fourth quarter completed the trend experienced throughout the
year, which saw equity markets rallying despite numerous concerns across the globe.
In the face of worries over the US fiscal cliff, uncertainty around the path of Chinese
growth and a yet-to-be-conceived resolution to the European crisis, the FTSE/JSE All
Share Index (ALSI) produced a return of 3.2% for the month. The dedicated approach
to quantitative easing across developed markets was able to trump most short-term
market unease, driving the fourth quarter ALSI returns to 10.3%, meaning that the
ALSI finished the year up 26.7%.
Industrials were the big winners for the quarter and year, up 13.2% and 44.5% respectively,
although most equity sectors were strong with resources the only laggard, returning
7.1% for the quarter and 3.1% for the year. Inflation-linked bonds rounded off a good
year with a return of 3.02% for the month and 19.4% for the year.
Holdings in equities and inflation-linked bonds continued to be the main contributors
as the fund maintains its excellent, consistent positive returns. The positions have
been held for most of the year and have ensured that the fund has shared substantially
in the equity market upside. These strong return drivers remain married to a view on
capital protection ensuring that attention is paid to capital preservation at all times.
There were no major asset allocation shifts during the month.
The portfolio maintains a moderate holding in equities and is still well positioned
to participate in further equity rallies. We, however, remain somewhat cautious
and are well placed to protect capital if markets retrace. This approach has served
the portfolio well as it continues to provide the optimal blend of real returns and
capital protection.

funD ObJeCtIveThe fund strives for long-term capital growth as well as some level of capital protection. Through the use of a quantitative risk model, the fund aims to profit from a rising share market and protect against capital losses in a weak market.
WhO IS thIS funD fOr?This fund is suited to investors who strive for long-term capital growth as well as some level of capital protection.
reCOMMenDeD MInIMuM InveStMent terM
InveStMent ManDateThe fund invests across shares, bonds and cash — moving from shares into fixed interest investments when the fund’s value drops below a predetermined “floor”. When markets start to move up, the fund increases its holdings in shares, tapping into these growth opportunities. Derivatives may also be tactically used to manage and limit downside risk and to capture or lock in gains as and when they occur. The fund conforms to retirement fund legislation. In order to achieve the fund objective the portfolio manager may choose to gain exposure to the described assets and asset classes by investing through OMLACSA pooled portfolios, collective investment schemes or a combination thereof.
DYnaMIC flOOr teChnOlOGYEquities are the key driver of long-term after-tax returns in excess of inflation, but they introduce short-term capital risk. The manager therefore uses dynamic floor technology to reduce the risk of loss in the fund, whilst still allowing the fund to benefit from positive equity performance. In other words, dynamic asset allocation decisions are driven by a quantitative process that reduces exposure to riskier assets in a declining or volatile equity market in favour of more stable assets like cash. The opposite would apply in a rising equity market. Furthermore, as positive returns are generated above a certain level, so the floor is raised in order to protect these returns from future losses. The floor is typically set at 10% below the current fund value, with a one-year time horizon. It does not represent a guarantee but reflects a target maximum loss in any one year whilst still giving the fund uncapped upside potential.

The opinions expressed herein are not intended to serve as authoritative investment advice and should not be used in substitution for the exercise of own judgement. The price of shares/units and any income from them may fall as well as rise. Past performance or fund benchmark performance is not necessarily a guide to the future and investors may not get back the full amount invested. When a subscription involves a foreign exchange transaction, it may be subject to the fluctuations of currency values. Exchange rates may also cause the value of underlying overseas investments to go down or up. It should be noted that investments within the fund may not be readily marketable. It may therefore be difficult for an investor to withdraw from the fund or to obtain reliable information about its value and the extent of the risks to which it is exposed. The fund may also be involved in highly specialised forms of investment that involves risk and transaction costs not normally associated with standard investments in securities.

funD COMMentarY as at 31/12/2012December and the fourth quarter completed the trend experienced throughout the
year, which saw equity markets rallying despite numerous concerns across the globe.
In the face of worries over the US fiscal cliff, uncertainty around the path of Chinese
growth and a yet-to-be-conceived resolution to the European crisis, the FTSE/JSE All
Share Index (ALSI) produced a return of 3.2% for the month. The dedicated approach
to quantitative easing across developed markets was able to trump most short-term
market unease, driving the fourth quarter ALSI returns to 10.3%, meaning that the
ALSI finished the year up 26.7%.
Industrials were the big winners for the quarter and year, up 13.2% and 44.5% respectively,
although most equity sectors were strong with resources the only laggard, returning
7.1% for the quarter and 3.1% for the year. Inflation-linked bonds rounded off a good
year with a return of 3.02% for the month and 19.4% for the year.

COREGROWTH LIFE Fund
Fund InFORMATIOnRISK RATInG
Fund OBJECTIVEThis fund aims to provide stable investment returns in excess of cash. Although there is an underlying degree of stability in the smoothing process, the bonus rate may vary up or down relative to a particular month’s investment performance. Once declared, a bonus is guaranteed and cannot be reduced or removed. The declared bonus may be zero but will never be negative.
Capital may be reduced by management fees and taxes under adverse market conditions where a zero bonus is declared. The CoreGrowth Fund is accessed through Retirement Arrangements1 only.
note1 Retirement Arrangements include the FC Preservation Pension
and Provident Funds, the FC Retirement Annuity Fund or the combined participation of all GN18 annuitants in the CoreGrowth Fund.
WHO IS THIS Fund FOR?The fund may suit risk-averse investors who wish to protect capital for retirement or for those who wish to generate stable recurring income after retirement.
RECOMMEndEd MInIMuM InVESTMEnT TERM
������� �������� ��������
InVESTMEnT MAndATEThis is a pooled, smoothed bonus fund, which invests in a balanced portfolio of equities, interest-bearing assets, property and international assets. Investment returns are smoothed and passed on by way of a bonus declared monthly in advance.
BEnEFIT PAYMEnTS (This excludes switches.)Benefit payments (which include withdrawal benefits, death benefits, retirement benefits and annuity payments, etc., subject to the rules of the Retirement Arrangement) made up of capital and vested bonuses are fully guaranteed.
SWITCHESSwitches out of the CoreGrowth Fund will only be allowed on two days during the year (the first business day of April and the first business day of October) subject to a notice period of four months (by 30 November and 31 May respectively). Old Mutual reserves the right to change this process in the future.
Where the collective switches within a Retirement Arrangement on either of the days above are below 10% of the particular Retirement Arrangement’s total investment value in the CoreGrowth Fund, the amount requested will be fully guaranteed. However, should the 10% limit be exceeded, Old Mutual reserves the right to pay out less than the guarantee in times of adverse market conditions in respect of any excess amount requested above the 10%. This could result in an investor’s switch disinvestment value from the CoreGrowth Fund falling below the original amount invested.
Once a switch notice has been given it cannot be revoked.

EBGF LIFE Fund
Fund InFORMATIOnRISK RATInG
Fund OBJECTIVEThe EBGF aims for steady long-term growth in excess of inflation. Allocated returns are smoothed over a period of time by declaring bonuses annually in arrear. In years of positive investment performance, some of the returns are held back to boost bonuses in years of poor investment performance. This ensures that the exposure of the investor to volatility in investment markets will be reduced.
The EBGF is accessed through Retirement Arrangements1 only.
The total investment consists of a portion which is fully guaranteed and a portion which is not guaranteed. The non-guaranteed portion can vary between different Retirement Arrangements and generally lies between 5% and 25%. At any time, the percentage of investment guaranteed is the same for all individual members in the particular Retirement Arrangement, irrespective of when they invested. This percentage applies to both capital and any bonuses which may have been earned. In severe market downturns, part or all of the non-guaranteed portion may be temporarily suspended or permanently removed. This will result in a capital loss and could result in a client’s investment value in the EBGF within the particular Retirement Arrangement falling below the original amount invested.
Since bonuses are declared annually in arrear, interim bonuses (not guaranteed) are applied to determine the investment values for clients who exit the EBGF between bonus declaration dates.
note1 Retirement Arrangements include SARAF, Flexi-Provident Fund,
FC Preservation Pension and Provident Funds, FC Retirement Annuity Fund, etc. or the combined participation of all GN18 annuitants in the EBGF.
WHO IS THIS Fund FOR?The fund is suited to investors seeking real returns with more stability than market-linked funds.

Fund InFORMATIOn
RISK RATInG
Fund OBJECTIVEThis bonus fund aims to combine the benefits of cash/fixed interest investments with the potential for positive equity market returns.
WHO IS THIS Fund FOR?The fund may suit those seeking to benefit from high cash returns, when they prevail, with a limited exposure to a portion of equity upside.
RECOMMEndEd MInIMuM InVESTMEnT TERM
InVESTMEnT MAndATEThe fund’s asset composition consists predominantly of cash assets/fixed interest assets, with the remainder exposed to local equities.
GuARAnTEEd RETuRn OFFEREdThe Fund Value is guaranteed to grow on an annual basis at 50%** of the repo rate after tax and asset management fees. The repo rate is defined as the published rate at which the RSA Reserve Bank lends money to RSA commercial banks. In addition, if the overall return on assets exposed to the equity market is positive then the return credited to the Fund Value may be increased on an annual basis* at each Fund Year-end. The amount of increase in return is determined according to the proportion of equity exposure and the proportion of time invested in the fund during the year. The “new” Fund Value is locked in at every guarantee point and forms the basis on which the next guarantee is calculated. The Fund Value will vary with any repo rate fluctuations during the Fund Year.
GuARAnTEE APPLIES The guarantee applies at the following guarantee points:• at the end of every Fund Year• at five-year points from first investment into the fund• at the end of the premium-paying term for the Committed and
Transfer Committed Investment Plans.
dISInVESTMEnT VALuE On disinvestment (including switches) during a Fund Year, the Fund Value may be adjusted for any equity return (positive or negative) arising from the current Fund Year. This adjustment is at Old Mutual’s discretion. It may therefore be possible to receive a value on disinvestment that is greater or lesser than the guaranteed amount at the previous guarantee point. A negative adjustment will not apply on disinvestment (including switches) at the guarantee points. Any part disinvestment from the fund, including income payments and switches out of the fund (including switches to the Capital Secured Fund when your Plan is ceded as security to Old Mutual), will reduce the level of the Guaranteed Minimum Fund Value. The level of the guarantee will reduce in the same proportion as the Fund Value is decreased.* Annual basis means once, at the end of every Fund Year, which is a period of
twelve months calculated from the commencement date of the fund. Old Mutual is entitled to change the annual basis so that annual basis means once, at the end of every period of twelve months (Fund Year) calculated from 1 January to 31 December. When the annual basis is so changed any period in respect of which the fund value has already been increased to reflect an increased return and any period in respect of which the guarantee has already been applied, will not again be taken into account.

The Absolute Smooth Growth Portfolio is a life fund that uses
enhanced smoothing technology to deliver stable, inflation-beating
returns to its investors in the most efficient manner. Returns
are awarded in the form of monthly bonuses, declared at the
beginning of each month.
boNus PhIlosoPhY AND smoothING
The investment returns earned on the underlying investment
mandate are smoothed and passed on to investors by way of
bonuses declared monthly in advance. Therefore, returns are
known at the start of each month.
This smoothing mechanism significantly reduces the short-term
volatility typically associated with market-related investments.
A Bonus Smoothing Reserve (BSR) is maintained, which absorbs
the impact of the peaks and troughs experienced with investing
in the market, while delivering real returns to investors in the
medium to long term.
GuArANtee
The Absolute Smooth Growth Portfolio offers a 50% guarantee on
capital, contributions and declared returns. These guarantees
apply on benefit payment and other specified events, and are
backed by Old Mutual’s shareholders’ capital.
(Old Mutual reserves the right to remove the non-guaranteed
element in poor markets, by declaring a negative bonus.)

SMOOTHED PERFORMANCE LIFE FuND
FuND INFORMATION
RISK RATING
FuND OBJECTIVEThis fund aims to provide inflation-beating smoothed returns over the medium to long term.
WHO IS THIS FuND FOR?This fund may suit those seeking real returns with more stability than market-linked funds.
RECOMMENDED MINIMuM INVESTMENT TERM
������� �������� ��������
INVESTMENT MANDATEThe current asset allocation is approximately 65% equities, 25% interest-bearing assets and 10% property. The asset mix may be reviewed in the light of changing economic conditions.
LAuNCH DATE: 02/12/2002
SIZE OF FuND: R9.6bn
BONuS RATESBonuses are declared annually and added to the Fund Value. As the declared bonus is retrospective, an interim bonus rate is used to determine the fund’s current value until the next bonus declaration, i.e. the interim rate is applied on a daily basis to the fund, in order for the units to be priced daily. The interim rate may be revised at any time to reflect the fund’s value more accurately. The final rate will only apply once it is declared and provided that the Contracting Party is still invested in the fund on the date of declaration.
SMOOTHINGDuring periods of strong investment performance, a portion of investment growth is held in reserve for distribution during periods of weaker investment performance. Old Mutual is entitled to apply a fee to switches into the fund and limit, or not permit, transactions which may, in its opinion, be detrimental to other investors in the fund.
GuARANTEE DATEThe Guarantee Date is set 5 years from the day of first investment into the fund. On the Guarantee Date the full Fund Value is available without adjustment and a new Guarantee Date is set for 5 years into the future. Guarantee dates also come into effect on contractual recurring premium plans at the end of the premium-paying term. There is no guarantee date where the premium-paying term is less than five years.
GuARANTEED MINIMuM FuND VALuEOn the Guarantee Date, the Guaranteed Minimum Fund Value equals the net premiums (premiums after premium charges) and/or net amount(s) invested into the fund. Irregular payments invested less than two years before a guarantee date will not be fully guaranteed, but will be guaranteed to the extent of 80% of the net irregular payment invested. Old Mutual is entitled to change the 2-year period to another period. Irregular payments include, but are not limited to, additional single premium payments, voluntary premium increases or payments in excess of the 20% excess premium provisions of the regulations under section 54 of the Long-term Insurance Act 1998 in force as at 1 August 2002 (the 20% provisions), switches into the fund and zero interest loan repayments. The 20% provisions as at 1 August 2002 shall continue to apply notwithstanding any subsequent amendment or repeal. On each guarantee date, an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Guaranteed Minimum Fund Value over the actual Fund Value will be credited to the Investment Plan.
MARKET VALuE ADJuSTERAny withdrawals from the fund (including income payments and switches) may result in a value adjustment to reflect current market conditions. These adjustments will not apply to the proceeds on the Guarantee Date, if applicable. Fund Values may be adjusted temporarily or permanently should market conditions prove extremely adverse.
DISINVESTMENT VALuEAny part disinvestment from the fund, including income payments and switches out of the fund (including switches to the Capital Secured Fund when a Plan is ceded as security to Old Mutual), will reduce the level of the Guaranteed Minimum Fund Value. The level of the guarantee will reduce in the same proportion as the Fund Value is decreased.
OTHER INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONSINITIAL CHARGES: There is no initial administration charge on the fund.
ONGOING: Asset Management Fee: 1.00% p.a. Guarantee and Smoothing Fee: 0.85% Bonuses are net of these fees.

FUND COMMENTARy
The FTSE/JSE All Share Index (AlSI) gained a total return of 3.2% for the month of December. Resources were up strongly
at 3.0% for the month, industrials 2.4% and financials returned a strong 5.4%. For the month of December healthcare was
the best performing economic group at 8.9% whilst the worst performing economic group was technology at negative
5.1%. The best performing sectors were construction & materials (+13.8%), platinum mining (+13.3%) and healthcare
equipment & services (+10.7%). The worst were tobacco (-8%), software & computer services (-6.5%) and gold mining
(-4.2%). On the currency front, the rand strengthened about 5.6% relative to the US dollar and 4.3% against the euro.
The All Bond Index returned 2.3% while the Inflation-linked Bond Index gained 3%. Bonds at the long end were the
strongest with the 12+ year bonds returning 3.6%, 7-12 year bonds 2.2% and 3-7 year bonds 1.3%. The short end, 1-3 year
bonds, was up 0.8%. Cash returned 0.4%. Preference shares were negative at -1.5%. SA listed property returned 0.4%.
November inflation (CPI) came in at 5.6% year on year, driven by increases in housing & utilities, transport, food and
non-alcoholic beverages. It will be interesting to see what the potential electricity tariff increases are likely to be.
Coronation delivered a 12-month return of 15.6%. The manager chose to avoid relatively expensive domestic oriented
stocks, many of which performed exceptionally well through 2012. Coronation have exposure to unloved sectors like
construction and mining. While trading conditions for these sectors remain tough, Coronation remain convinced that
the investment theses will play out, albeit in a slightly longer time period than initially envisaged. The fixed interest
portion of the fund performed well, largely due to the portfolio’s corporate inflation-linked bond holdings. Coronation
remain concerned about the low yields currently available in the market, with a 10-year government bond yielding
around 7% (in nominal terms) and a 10-year inflation-linked bond below 1% (in real terms). If these bonds are held
to maturity, investors will earn the aforementioned returns, which they believe to be inadequate given the risk of
capital loss. The low yields (driven by the global search for yield) will make meeting real return targets much more
challenging over the next number of years.

FUND INFORMATION
RISK RATING
FUND OBJECTIVE
The fund aims to provide an income that grows in line with

minimising any losses over a 12-month period. The portfolio
manager actively manages asset allocation to take advantage of
changing market conditions.

income in return for inflation-matching growth in income over
time, while maintaining the value of their capital. It is suitable
as a low risk investment in retirement.

INVESTMENT MANDATE
The fund invests in the full spectrum of fixed interest investments,
selected listed property and equities and may invest up to 25% of
its portfolio offshore in line with Treasury guidelines. The combined
listed property and equity exposure is carefully managed and may
not exceed 35% of the overall portfolio, but a maximum of 25%
can be held in either asset class.
REGULATION 28 COMPLIANCE

FUND COMMENTARy as at 31/12/2012The FTSE/JSE All Share Index (ALSI) had a very strong fourth quarter, gaining 10.3%,
with returns of 26.7% for the 2012 calendar year. Listed property enjoyed another
year of very strong returns, delivering 35.9% for the year. The All Bond Index and
the Inflation-linked Bond Index gained 16% and 19.4% respectively for the year. Cash
returned 5.5%. Globally, it was a good year for equities with the MSCI ACWI up 16.8%
measured in US dollars. Emerging markets outperformed developed markets for the
year with strong relative performance in the last quarter. Commodity prices were
generally higher for the year with Brent crude gaining 2.3%, copper was up by 4.2%
and gold was 5.6% higher. The rand had a volatile year losing 4.1% against the US
dollar and 5.7% against the euro.
The good showing from bonds in December ensured that the fund ended the year
strongly. The fund’s return lagged the equity market, but this is in line with its
conservative mandate. The fund outperformed the Prudential Low Equity category
average return, which is a surprise. Typically it would underperform when the share
market runs strongly as it has a lower equity holding. The fund holds just over 12% in
listed shares, predominantly for their yield. Investments in listed property and active
buying of bonds at the beginning of the year helped deliver the outperformance.

DiverSiFication
While SYm|mETRY researches, appoints and monitors the underlying managers, the managers have flexibility to decide which underlying assets to buy and in what
proportions. SYm|mETRY carefully blends managers with complementary investment styles to achieve a well-diversified but dynamic mix of equities, money market
instruments, conventional bonds, inflation-linked bonds and listed property. The maximum offshore allocation of this fund is 25%.
FunD coMMentary
the fund produced 15.1% over 2012. this is against the target cPi+6% return of 11.7%. the economic scenario remains uncertain; although the issues prevailing in europe
seem to be resolved, the global economy is at the precipice of what some perceive to be a possible slowdown in the Chinese economy. Although inflation reached 5.6% in
November, it is expected to remain within the target band until the end of 2013. Declining food, and possibly oil, prices are likely to keep inflation contained into late 2013.
investec generated 18.7% over the past year. investec retain their view that the local equity market is fully priced.
The manager continues to seek opportunities that will produce returns significantly in excess of inflation. The
portfolio saw little change across its asset allocation mix. The largest local equity holdings are Assore Limited,
British American Tobacco and MTN Group Limited. On the fund’s offshore positioning, the manager has been able
to purchase high quality multinational companies trading at multi-decade lows and with dividend yields in excess
of long-bond yields. international equity makes up approximately 17% of the portfolio. within this basket they
favour quality, long-established businesses with strong franchise value — these include Apple Inc., Chevron Corp.
and Pfizer Inc.
Prudential yielded a 12-month return of 23.3%. the portfolio continues to be heavily invested in equities. local
equities make up about 39% of the portfolio with a tilt towards industrials (with large allocations to stocks such as
MTN and Naspers). The fund also holds close to 25% in bonds with inflation-linked bonds (offering diversification
and inflation protection) making up approximately 7% and nominal bonds the remaining 18%. Offshore exposure
is gained via unit trusts managed by Prudential’s offshore parent asset management company, M&G Investment
Managers. Offshore is currently at the maximum allowed limit, split 20% to equities and 5% to cash and bonds.

fUnD CoMMenTaRyThe fund produced 12.5% over the past year to the end of December 2012. This is against the target CPI+4% return of 9.7%. The economic scenario remains
uncertain; although the issues prevailing in europe seem to be resolved, the global economy is at the precipice of what some perceive to be a possible slowdown
in the Chinese economy. although inflation reached 5.6% in november, it is expected to remain within the target band until the end of 2013. Declining food,
and possibly oil, prices are likely to keep inflation contained into late 2013.
SIM delivered 13.9% over 2012. The fund’s effective equity exposure, less property, is lower as some of the
derivative structures reached their caps. SIM reduced exposure to long-dated nominal bonds slightly during
the month. although credit spreads are becoming expensive, they continue to find selected opportunities
to enhance the yield of the fund’s money market and bond assets. from a long-term value perspective,
using the summation of individual company valuations as calculated by their equity analysts, the equity
market is now trading above SIM’s house view assessment of its fair intrinsic value. This is reflected in the
fund’s more defensive positioning, with a higher hedged equity component exposure that was increased
over the month, with increased allocations to international equity and cash. Top offshore holdings include
apple Inc., exxon Mobil Corp. and Microsoft Corp.
Coronation delivered a 12-month return of 17.3%. The manager chose to avoid relatively expensive domestic
oriented stocks, many of which performed exceptionally well through 2012. Coronation have exposure to
unloved sectors like construction and mining. while trading conditions for these sectors remain tough,
they remain convinced that the investment theses will play out, albeit in a slightly longer time period
than initially envisaged. The manager continued to buy put protection on their local equity holdings, and
are maintaining the high levels of protection that have been in place throughout most of 2012. The fixed
interest portion of the fund performed well, largely due to the portfolio’s corporate inflation-linked bond
holdings. Coronation remain concerned about the low yields currently available in the market, with a 10-
year government bond yielding around 7% (in nominal terms) and a 10-year inflation-linked bond below 1%
(in real terms). If these bonds are held to maturity, investors will earn the aforementioned returns, which
they believe to be inadequate given the risk of capital loss. The low yields (driven by the global search
for yield) will make meeting real return targets much more challenging over the next number of years.

the fund ended the year on the back foot lagging its benchmark over both the quarter and year. however,
some of the managers in the solution ended the year with good performance in December. kagiso had
their best month of the year. their overweight positions in lonmin, kagiso Media and impala contributed
positively to performance. Detractors from performance were overweight positions in tongaat and aeci,
and underweight exposure to richemont.
SiM, who also ended the year strongly in December, had their best quarter in two years. the biggest
contributors to returns were their investments in northam, absa, PPc and Sun international whereas their
positions in abil, lewis, Sasol and Gold Fields were a drag on short-term returns. with the exception of
Gold Fields, SiM used the share price weakness to add to their positions in the above companies.
abax and element were weaker in December and this consequently hurt their quarter performance. Both
managers are overweight to gold shares, which did poorly during the quarter and in December in particular.
abax’s holdings in absa, anglo Platinum and Mediclinic did particularly well and for element lonmin, Sappi
and tsogo Sun did well.
the international portion of the fund, which is managed by investec, enjoyed a great quarter when
compared to the peer group average in the Morningstar Survey. a rally in global equities was behind the
positive performance by the manager, despite the strong rand.

DeScriPtionthis Fund is managed to satisfy the principles of islamic law while remaining regulation 28 compliant. it is suitable for retirement funds and individual investment plans. the Fund has been designed to target an investment return, over the long term, comparable to that of a traditional balanced fund. however, as islamic law does not permit interest-bearing asset classes, sukuk instruments are used as an alternative. Sukuks provide a similar risk-return profile to fixed interest assets, without earning interest. The Fund will be subject to the conditions, guidelines and guidance set on the Sym|metry islamic Fund by the appointed Shari’ah Supervisory Board. an example of this is the decision on how any non-permissible income earned in the Fund will be disposed of. if the Fund is purchased via a retail platform, the Fund (and not the platform) is still strictly managed as above. the Fund is not restricted to individuals of the Muslim faith.

the FtSe/JSe all Share index posted another positive month, rising 1.6%, driven largely by resources shares. the resources index rose 5.7% outperforming
the financial and industrial indices, which returned 0.3% and -0.1% respectively. However, when measured over 12 months resources shares gained 3.0% while
industrials and financials returned 37.0% and 26.0% respectively.
the local equity portion of the islamic Fund enjoyed a good month with most of their high conviction positions paying off. Positions that contributed the
most to outperformance were an overweight exposure to gold shares, as well as not holding any imperial, Mr Price and Shoprite. they have increased their
exposure to stocks like Sasol, angloGold and BhP Billiton at the expense of Mondi Packaging (M-Pact) and emira Property Fund.
the manager continues to seek shares that are trading below their estimate of fair value and reduce those that have reached fair value. this is currently
playing out in their underweight position to the industrial sector and the overweight tilt to resources counters.

this is a low volatility fund aiming to provide investors with high levels of income
and capital preservation and, in doing so, can run the risk of underperforming
the inflation rate. The Fund aims to outperform its benchmark over rolling
one-year periods. the Fund is fully invested in money market instruments
including highly secure bank-issued instruments and short-dated government
guaranteed instruments as well as issues by central, provincial and local
governments and companies and banks. the Fund does not comply with the
asset allocation sublimits set out in regulation 28 of the Pension Funds act,
and therefore the Fund is not regulation 28 compliant.

Unit trusts are generally medium- to long-term investments. Past performance is no indication of future performance. Shorter term fluctuations can occur as your investment moves in line with the markets. Fluctuations or movements in exchange rates may cause the value of underlying international investments to go up or down. Unit trusts can engage in borrowing and scrip lending. The fund’s TER reflects the percentage of the average Net Asset Value of the portfolio that was incurred as charges, levies and fees related to the management of the portfolio. A higher TER does not necessarily imply a poor return, nor does a low TER imply a good return. The current TER cannot be regarded as an indication of future TERs. A schedule of fees, charges and maximum adviser fees is available from Old Mutual Unit Trust Managers Ltd (OMUT). You may sell your investment at the ruling price of the day (calculated at 15h00 on a forward pricing basis and 17h00 at month-end for Old Mutual RAFI® 40 Tracker Fund, Old Mutual Top 40 Fund and SYm|mETRY Equity Fund of Funds). The Old Mutual Money Market Fund unit price aims to be static but investment capital is not guaranteed. The total return is primarily made up of interest (declared daily at 13h00), but may also include any gain/loss on any particular instrument. In most cases this will merely have the effect of increasing or decreasing the daily yield, but in an extreme case it can have the effect of reducing the capital value of the fund. Specialist equity funds may hold a greater risk as exposure limits to a single security may be higher. A feeder fund is a portfolio that, apart from assets in liquid form, consists solely of participatory interests in a single portfolio of a collective investment scheme. A fund of funds unit trust invests only in other collective investment schemes, which may levy their own charges. Certain funds may be capped to be managed in accordance with their mandates. Different classes of units apply to these portfolios and are subject to different fees and charges. The portfolio performance is calculated on a NAV-NAV basis and does not take any initial fees into account. Income is reinvested on the ex-dividend date. Actual investment performance will differ based on the initial fees applicable, the actual investment date and the date of reinvestment of income. Old Mutual is a member of the Association for Savings and Investment South Africa (ASISA).

5 asset classes (cash, bonds, property, equities and alternative
investments) to achieve this. The fund retains exposure to the 5
asset classes at all times, to maintain maximum diversification, and
may have a maximum of 45% of its assets invested in Alternative
Investment Strategy funds at any point in time. Monies may have

Disclaimer
A measure of the 3-year historical volatility of monthly fund returns around the mean – expressed as an annual percentage. The greater the volatility of a fund’s performance, the sharper the short-term fluctuation in its price. A fund price exhibiting straight-line growth would have zero volatility. Theory suggests investors should be compensated for higher short-term volatility, with higher longer term returns. The information contained in this Fund Guide is compiled in good faith and based on sources believed to be reliable, accurate and up to date, but no representations or warranties, express or implied, are made as to the accuracy, completeness or suitability of the information and no responsibility or liability is accepted by OLD MUTUAL1 for any damages or losses which may flow, directly or indirectly, from any use of any information obtained from the Fund Guide.
The contracts issued in terms of the provisions of the long-term Insurance Act, No. 52 of 1998, as amended from time to time (the LTI Act), to which this Fund Guide relates, are issued and underwritten by Old Mutual Life Assurance Company (South Africa) Ltd, as part of its long-term insurance business under the provisions of the LTI Act.
Old Mutual Guernsey (OMG) issues and underwrites policies in terms of the Insurance Business (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law 2002, as amended from time to time, and is governed by the laws of Guernsey. OMG is the name under which Old Mutual is trading in Guernsey.
The contracts/policies provide investors with the opportunity to access a comprehensive range of flexible investment options including selected funds within the Investment Frontiers International Portfolio (a US dollar-denominated policy issued by OMG), unit trust funds and other investment options including options that offer exposure to Alternative Investment Strategies (AIS).
Past performance is not necessarily a guide to the future and investors may not get back the full amount invested. Asset class information is as at the stated date. However, asset allocations could change considerably over time subject to mandate parameters.
Unit trusts are medium- to long-term investments. The value of units may go down as well as up and past performance is not necessarily a guide to the future. Unit trusts are traded at ruling prices and can engage in borrowing and scrip lending. Different classes of units may apply to funds and are subject to different fees and charges. A schedule of fees and charges and maximum commissions is available from the management company/scheme. Commission and incentives may be paid and if so, would be included in the overall costs. Forward pricing is used. A fund of funds unit trust invests in other unit trusts, which levy their own charges. This could result in a higher fee structure for these funds.
Management company for the SYm|mETRY Multi-Manager Unit Trust Funds: Old Mutual Unit Trust Managers Ltd, PO Box 207, Cape Town 8000.
Save for a guarantee provided by a specific investment option, no representation, guarantee or warranty is made by OLD MUTUAL1 as to the performance or investment returns of the underlying investment options selected by the client, and OLD MUTUAL1 accepts no responsibility or liability for any direct, indirect or consequential loss:
Arising from the investment in the underlying investment options selected by the client.
As a result of the client’s failure: to appreciate the nature of investment in the underlying investment options; to have obtained (or, having obtained, to have acted upon) advice concerning the appropriateness of the contract for the client’s financial circumstances including,
but not limited to, the legislative and fiscal regimes of the country of the client’s citizenship, domicile or residence which might affect the contract; to have reviewed regularly the continued suitability of the contract.
In respect of certain options, technical notes are provided. Clients considering such options should ensure that they obtain a copy of these technical notes and read and understand them.
Investments in Alternative Investment Strategies (AIS) should be considered only suitable for the sophisticated investor who is able to accept the unique risks associated with such an investment. On application, investors are required to confirm that the unique characteristics, liquidity constraints, notice periods and risks have been explained to them and that they understand the implications thereof. Investors are further required to confirm and guarantee that they have received copies of and have read and understood the AIS brochure, where applicable.
With regard to options investing monies in non-South African, global developed markets: In addition to the performance of the underlying assets, the total investment return in SA rand experienced by each option will be directly affected by prevailing currency exchange rates. The categorisation of different options, for example regarding risk ratings, returns and the level of capital fluctuations, has been made with regard to the dominant, underlying foreign currency that an option is exposed to. Adjustments have not been made to reflect the fact that the total investment returns will be subject to foreign currency exchange rate movements if converted to rands.
As indicated on the fact sheets, certain of the investment options selected by the client may have restrictions as to switching and withdrawal flexibility.

In common with industry practice, and in order to protect the interests of all investors, Old Mutual Guernsey may, in exceptional circumstances, defer the realisation of any investment, other than to pay death claims, for a period of up to 12 months. Old Mutual Guernsey is the name under which the Old Mutual Life Assurance Company (South Africa) Ltd (also known as Old Mutual) is trading in Guernsey. The registered office of the Old Mutual Life Assurance Company (South Africa) Ltd is located at Mutualpark, Jan Smuts Drive, Pinelands 7405, Cape Town, Republic of South Africa.
Client confidentiality is protected at all times – Old Mutual Guernsey complies with the Criminal Justice (Proceeds of Crime) (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Regulations 2002 but otherwise has no duty of disclosure of clients’ records to any statutory or government body within Guernsey. The information given in this brochure is based on Old Mutual Guernsey’s understanding of current law and practice in the jurisdictions referred to in the text. No liability can be accepted for any personal tax consequences or for the effect of any future tax or legislative changes. Investors should remember that past performance is no guarantee of future returns and that fund prices will reflect the value of their underlying securities. As a result of the nature of investments and possible exchange or interest rate fluctuations, the value of investments may go down as well as up.
Old Mutual Guernsey investments are not available to residents of the Bailiwick of Guernsey or the United States of America (or any of its territories) or of any jurisdiction where such investments would be unlawful. This document does not constitute an offer or a solicitation to anyone in any jurisdiction in which an offer is not authorised or to any persons to whom it is unlawful to make such an offer or such a solicitation. These policies are regarded by the South African Revenue Service (SARS) as being resident in South Africa for tax purposes. The policy in which policyholders invest is therefore subject to South African income and capital gains tax. Deductions in respect of tax will be taken from the fund.
Tax deductions may be reduced by the amount of any foreign withholding tax already incurred on non-South African income that would be subject to South African tax. Published fund prices, as always, will reflect the price after any deduction in respect of tax and management fees. Currently, for South African residents, no further tax arises when the policy is surrendered or reaches maturity. The tax status described is based on our current understanding of South African and Guernsey tax rules and Old Mutual Guernsey cannot be held responsible for any future tax or legislative changes that may affect this position. It is recommended that investors contact their financial adviser to discuss any tax implications before making any investment.
