CYCLE OF WEALTH CREATION

 
     
     
  Old Mutual is the largest financial services company in South Africa. It serves over 4.5 million customers, offering them life assurance, asset management and banking services. The company has over 13 000 employees. Of these, 3 500 employed advisers provide financial advice and education on personal finances to clients, along with over 7 000 independent brokers or financial advisers.

Our core business of life assurance offers investment and protection solutions for both individual and corporate customers. We operate in all key market segments, offering investment products and retirement annuities as well as life, disability and health insurance products.

A new innovation is Old Mutual Bank, which combines the strength of Old Mutual’s brand, customer base and distribution with Nedcor’s banking expertise and branch infrastructure in a new bancassurance offering for our customers.

Old Mutual Unit Trusts makes the stock market accessible to the full spectrum of investors, through a range of general and specialist funds invested in a wide spread of asset classes.

Old Mutual Healthcare is involved in meeting the healthcare needs of groups and individuals through, amongst others, its innovative Oxygen medical scheme.

Old Mutual has launched a new business aimed at meeting the specific needs of customers at the top end of the market.

Fairbairn Capital brings together the Investment Frontiers and Galaxy businesses to offer specialised investment solutions for wealthy individuals.

As part of addressing the national challenge of providing financial services to previously disadvantaged South Africans, particularly those in the low-income market, Old Mutual Group Schemes uses an education-based approach to supply risk and savings products, mainly to individual members of affinity groups like trade unions and staff associations.

Corporate clients are served through Old Mutual Employee Benefits (EB). EB offers group life and disability insurance products, group retirement savings products, and administration and consulting services to pension funds and their members.

Supporting all of these businesses, and offering its expertise to financial institutions, pension funds and corporates outside of the group, OMAM is South Africa’s largest fund manager, with a wide range of mandates for unit trusts, pension funds and our own policyholder funds.

Old Mutual plays a crucial role in South Africa’s economy as a custodian of the nation’s savings. Those savings, invested on behalf of our customers, become the foundation of economic growth in many sectors of our economy.
