Old Mutual

Old Mutual operates as a diversified financial services group that provides a range of products including life insurance, savings and investment solutions, asset management, and banking services. The organisation serves individual customers, corporate clients, and institutional investors across multiple regions. Its offerings are designed to help clients manage risk, accumulate wealth, and meet long‑term financial goals. Old Mutual’s activities are conducted through various subsidiaries and brands that operate under the Old Mutual umbrella. The group’s primary market is Africa, with a significant presence in South Africa and additional operations in other African countries, as well as selected markets in Asia and Europe.

Old Mutual is distinguished by its long history in the financial sector and its listing on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, which subjects it to rigorous regulatory oversight and transparency requirements. The group’s integrated model combines insurance, investment, and banking capabilities, allowing it to offer comprehensive financial solutions under a single brand. It maintains a strong focus on compliance and risk management, supported by dedicated internal audit and control functions. Ownership of Old Mutual is held by public shareholders, and the company is not a subsidiary of another larger entity but rather the parent of its various operating units. The organisation’s governance structure includes a board of directors responsible for setting strategy and monitoring performance across its geographic and business segments.
