4 WHAT IS THE OMIM USD PROTECTED EUROPEAN EQUITY FUND, ISSUE 2 The OMIM USD Protected European Equity Fund, Issue 2 (the Fund) is a fund that aims to provide your clients with peace of mind by protecting their initial investment into the Fund and offering a return linked to the growth of the European equity index, which is the Euro Stoxx 50 index. The Fund invests in a Note issued by Investec Bank plc (the Issuer). This Note has a term of five years. RETURN The return of the Fund is linked to twice the growth of the Euro Stoxx 50 Index and will have a minimum cap of 50% set on the Start Date of the Fund. Please see page 8 for detailed information on the Underlying Index and page 9 for details on how the return is calculated. CAPITAL REPAYMENT At maturity, the Fund will repay at least 100% of your client s initial investment provided that the Issuer does not default (i.e. become bankrupt or fail to meet any of its pre-agreed payment obligations). Please see page 6 for more details regarding default and Credit Events. If any one of these events occur, the return paid by the Fund will be less than the initial investment and your client may lose some, or all, of their initial investment. For example, if your client invests USD100,000 into the Fund, at maturity the Fund will repay at least USD100,000; provided the Issuer is not affected by a Credit Event during the five-year term.

5 THE FUND IN BRIEF Term Capital Repayment Return* Cap Return at Maturity Five years 100% at Maturity, subject to the Issuer not being affected by a Credit Event before Maturity. In case of a Credit Event, your client may lose some, or all, of their initial investment. The Return* of the Fund at Maturity is twice the growth of the Underlying Index, subject to a Cap. This means that the Return* cannot be greater than the Cap. The Return* is subject to tax. Please see page 9 for examples of how the Return* is calculated. The Cap used in this Fund will be set on the Start Date and will not be less than 50%. The level of the Cap is subject to the market conditions on the Start Date. The Return at Maturity is the total of the Capital Repayment and the Return*, and is subject to tax. The Return at Maturity is subject to the credit risk of the Issuer. If the Issuer is not affected by a Credit Event during the term of the Fund, at maturity your client will receive 100% of their initial investment in the Fund plus the Return*. If the Return* is negative, and the Issuer is not affected by a Credit Event during the term of the Fund, your client will receive 100% of their initial investment in the Fund. If the Issuer is affected by a Credit Event during the term, your client will receive less than their initial investment in the Fund, meaning they can lose some, or all, of their initial investment. Credit Event Issuer A Credit Event is an event such as bankruptcy or failure to pay. Please see page 6 for more details. Investec Bank plc Open for investment 28 May 2018 Closed for investment 6 July 2018, subject to early closure. Your client s application may not be successful if the Fund is oversubscribed. Start Date 20 July 2018 Final Valuation Date 20 July 2023 Maturity Date Starting Level Currency Minimum Investment Amount 27 July 2023 When the Note matures, the Fund will terminate and your client will receive the Return at Maturity. Starting Level of the Underlying Index is the official closing level of the Underlying Index on the Start Date. If your client wants to know what the Starting Level is, it will be available on the Fund factsheets. The currency of the Fund will be denominated in USD. USD5,000 (subject to the minimum contribution requirements of the Investment Portfolio+) Underlying Index Euro Stoxx 50 Fund Identifier Charges apply to the Investment Portfolio+ and these, as well as tax, will reduce the overall level of all returns on the investment. Please ensure that you and your client have read the Investment Portfolio+ Key Features Document and the General Conditions. * The Return is a gross return and subject to tax. Page 5 of 15

6 WHAT DOES THE OMIM USD PROTECTED EUROPEAN EQUITY FUND, ISSUE 2, INVEST IN? The Fund invests in a Note. This Note is a type of investment product which repays 100% of the invested capital at maturity, plus a Return*. The Fund will be exposed to the credit risk of the Issuer of the Note. In the event that the Issuer is affected by a Credit Event during the term of the Fund, your client could lose some or all of their money. The Return* is a gross return and subject to tax. At maturity, the Return* is subject to the growth of the Underlying Index to which the Note is linked. At the end of the term, the Note will pay out the initial investment plus twice the positive growth of the Underlying Index subject to the Cap. Please see page 9 for details on how the returns are calculated. WHAT IS A CREDIT EVENT? A Credit Event is an event which may lead your client to lose all or some of the money they have invested. A Credit Event may happen to the Issuer. The Credit Events applicable to the Note that the Fund invests in are bankruptcy and failure to pay. BANKRUPTCY Any administrative document, statement, action or decision confirming that the company can no longer honour its commitments (has become insolvent, is unable to pay its debts on time, etc.) or any meeting by the competent bodies with a view to voting on a resolution concerning the dissolution (except through a merger), liquidation or filing for bankruptcy of the company. FAILURE TO PAY The failure by the company to promptly pay interest or capital when due, after any period of grace that may be applicable or is deemed to apply, for any amount higher than or equal to the payment default threshold (USD1,000,000 or currency equivalent). If you want to read the complete definition of all Credit Events, please visit the ISDA (International Swaps and Derivatives Association) website: It is important to note that your client will be exposed to the risk of a Credit Event occurring in respect of the Issuer. Should a Credit Event occur with the Issuer, the Fund may be terminated and your client may lose some or all of their investment. It is also important to note that they will not benefit from any policyholder protection/compensation schemes. In the event that Old Mutual Isle of Man Branch ceases trading during the term of the Fund (and a Credit Event has not occurred with the Issuer), the Fund may be terminated and the value will depend on the market price offered by the Issuer on that day. It will not reflect the full value of any performance up to that point as this only applies on maturity. This means your client could lose some or all of their money. Old Mutual Isle of Man Branch is not a member of the Isle of Man Policyholders Compensation Scheme. Page 6 of 15

9 HOW ARE THE RETURNS CALCULATED FOR THE OMIM USD PROTECTED EUROPEAN EQUITY FUND, ISSUE 2? The growth is calculated by taking the percentage increase of the Underlying Index between the Start Date and the Final Valuation Date. At maturity, if the growth is positive, it will be doubled but will be subject to the minimum Cap of 50% in order to provide the Return*. The Investment Portfolio+ is a capital redemption plan that is issued by Old Mutual Isle of Man Branch, which is a branch of Old Mutual Life Assurance Company (South Africa) Limited, and is subject to the South African five funds tax regime. The OMIM USD Protected European Equity Fund, Issue 2 is a roll up fund, therefore Capital Gains Tax will apply and is payable within the Fund. The table below provides examples of different potential outcomes assuming a 50% Cap. Please note: the figures shown here are not based on past performance, nor are they an indicator of potential investment performance they are only intended to illustrate how the growth is calculated and what the possible return could be in specific scenarios. Valuation date Positive Scenario Neutral Scenario Negative Scenario Starting Level Final Valuation Date Index growth 60% 15% -25% The Return* 50% 30% 0% Return at Maturity 150% 130% 100% Please note, in the event that Investec Bank plc is affected by a Credit Event, your client could lose all of their investment or receive back less than they invested, and no return will be paid. Please note that the Return* discussed in this section may be reduced by any outstanding amount in your client s Transaction Account as well as tax. Please see How can your client invest in the Fund? on page 11 for further information. * The Return is a gross return and subject to tax. Page 9 of 15

10 IS THE FUND RIGHT FOR YOUR CLIENT? Before making the decision to invest in this or any other fund, you should discuss your client s investment needs and goals and ensure you and your client have read all relevant literature. Together with your client, you will be able to assess the suitability of this and any other investments and you will be able to answer any questions your client may have about the Fund and the risks involved. An investment in the Fund may expose investors to different risks from those normally associated with investment in traditional asset class funds. Please see a summary of risk factors on page 13. An investment in the Fund is only suitable for investors who are able and willing to accept the risks associated with it, including a potential loss of capital if the Issuer is subject to a Credit Event during the term of the Fund. We believe that decisions about your client s financial future are so important that they should always seek professional financial advice. THE FUND MAY BE SUITABLE FOR YOUR CLIENT IF: THE FUND MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR YOUR CLIENT IF: They are looking for investment with performance opportunities linked to a European equity index. They wish to reduce the impact of market volatility. They wish to reduce the impact of negative returns of the equity markets. They do not need access to this part of their portfolio before the end of the five-year term. They have a minimum of USD5,000 to invest into the Fund (subject to the minimum contribution requirements of the Investment Portfolio+). They are comfortable with the risks involved with the Fund. They cannot risk locking their investment in for five years. They do not want to take on the credit risk of the Issuer. This is their only investment, rather than a part of an investment portfolio. They wish to invest in a currency other than USD and do not wish to get exposure to USD foreign exchange risk. They do not wish to cap the potential Return* of the Fund at a minimum of 50% over the Term. They have a diversified portfolio of investments and this is not their sole investment. They understand how protected funds work. Page 10 of 15

11 HOW CAN YOUR CLIENT INVEST IN THE FUND? Your client can only access the Fund through an Investment Portfolio+ contract and through a financial adviser, as we believe it s important that clients receive professional advice from a suitably qualified individual or firm. Please read this Fund brochure in conjunction with the relevant Investment Portfolio+ Key Features Document and General Conditions, as this will provide information on the benefits and rights applicable to the investment. If you and your client decide the Fund is suitable, the application for the Investment Portfolio+ contract or the instruction to purchase the Fund within your client s existing Investment Portfolio+ contract, must be submitted to Old Mutual Isle of Man Branch by 6 July Once we have received your client s contribution, it will be invested directly into the Fund. During this time your client s holding will obtain a price of USD1.00 until the Start Date when the Fund will begin regular pricing. Please refer to the cancellation rights in the Investment Portfolio+ General Conditions. At maturity of the Fund, the original investment plus the Return* will be switched into the Investment Portfolio+ Transaction Account, from where it will be available for further investment. Please note that the Return* may be taxable. Charges apply to the Investment Portfolio+ contract and these will reduce the overall level of returns on the investment. The Fund pays 3% of your client s initial investment into the Transaction Account. This amount is used to fund the Investment Portfolio+ charges as well as the Investment Portfolio+ adviser fees. Adviser fees/commission allowed is different for new business applications or if your client is switching into the Fund from within their existing Investment Portfolio+ contract. New Business: If this is a new Investment Portfolio+ contract and you select to take initial commission, this commission amount will be deducted from the 3% initial credit in the Transaction Account. If the Fund is the only fund within the Investment Portfolio+ contract, the Transaction Account may go into overdraft. For example, if VAT is paid on the initial fee, and if the maximum adviser fee (3%) is taken, there will definitely be an overdraft of 0.42% as this amount is equal to the VAT charge amount. If, however, the Fund is one of the funds within the Investment Portfolio+ contract, we will first sell units from those funds to settle the Transaction Account; thereafter the Transaction Account may go into overdraft. If you have selected to receive ongoing fees, the same will apply. If, on application, your client chooses to allocate 100% of their contribution to the Fund, there are no ongoing fees payable. If your client selects Option 1 as explained in the Investment Portfolio+ Application Form, you may wish to increase the allocation rate by waiving commission. This may lead to more money being invested in the Fund which will create an overdraft in the Transaction Account as the higher value of the Fund (assets) means higher Fund charges. The charges are based on the value of the assets. Switching into the Fund: If your client chooses to switch into the Fund, the 3% payment from the Fund will be transferred into the Transaction Account. The adviser will not be able to take any fees other than those agreed upfront when the client took out the original Investment Portfolio+ contract. If an ongoing fee was agreed upfront, this fee will be taken out of the Transaction Account. As stated above, the Transaction Account may also go into overdraft. Standard product charges will be applied to the Transaction Account until the Maturity of the Fund. Old Mutual Isle of Man Branch will not sell units from the Fund to cover these charges. The 3% can also be used to cover the ongoing charges. The annual management charges could, therefore, lead to a further overdraft on the Transaction Account. However, if your client holds funds other than the Fund, charges will be cleared by selling units from the other funds first. * The Return is a gross return and subject to tax. Page 11 of 15

12 Your client will receive a quarterly valuation for their Investment Portfolio+ contract which will show any build-up of an overdraft, and will also show the total policy value, i.e. the Fund plus charges. At the maturity of the Fund, the Return at Maturity will be credited to the Transaction Account. Where required, some of the Return* may be used to offset the overdraft on the Transaction Account. The Investment Portfolio+ is a capital redemption plan, with a 99-year term and therefore has no lives assured. To ensure that early withdrawal charges do not apply, please ensure that your client nominates a beneficiary/ies. This also means that the plan will transfer to the nominated beneficiary and the plan can continue. After this, the money can be reinvested or withdrawn. Further details on charges can be found in the relevant Investment Portfolio+ Key Features Document and General Conditions. If your client s Investment Portfolio+ contract is not denominated in USD, its value may fall or rise purely as a result of exchange rate fluctuations. WHAT IF MY CLIENT NEEDS TO ACCESS THEIR MONEY DURING THE NEXT FIVE YEARS, OR MY CLIENT WANTS TO INVEST THEIR MONEY IN OTHER FUNDS AVAILABLE THROUGH THE INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO+? Your client can switch all or part of their investment out of the Fund at any time, but the amount switched may be less than the amount originally invested. If they choose to switch their investment from the Fund, the price they receive will depend on the prevailing market price at that point and, while it may reflect some growth, it will not reflect the full value of any performance accrued up to that point. The prevailing market price is determined by Investec Bank plc and may differ materially from the latest valuation. If the Fund is suspended for any reason, Old Mutual Isle of Man Branch may not be able to sell the investment before the end of the five-year investment term. This means that your client may not be able to switch out of, or withdraw the investment from, the Fund when they want to. Any withdrawal from the Investment Portfolio+ contract may be subject to early withdrawal charges. Please see the Investment Portfolio+ Key Features Document and General Conditions for more details on early withdrawal charges. * The Return is a gross return and subject to tax. Page 12 of 15

13 WHAT ARE THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH INVESTMENT INTO THE FUND? WITHDRAWAL BEFORE MATURITY OF THE FUND If your client switches their investment out of the Fund before the end of the investment term, the amount switched will not be applicable for capital repayment and may be less than they invested. The value switched will depend on the market price offered by Investec Bank plc on that day. It will not reflect the full value of any performance up to that point as this only applies on maturity. If the Fund is suspended, Old Mutual Isle of Man Branch may not be able to sell the investment before the end of the investment term, meaning your client may not be able to redeem the investment when they want to. The value when switching out of the Fund is determined by Investec Bank plc and may differ materially from the value shown on the latest Investment Portfolio+ valuation statement. INVESTMENT RISKS The value of investments can fall as well as rise. Your client can lose some or all of their investment if the Issuer becomes insolvent or defaults on payment. The charges relating to their Investment Portfolio+ will reduce the overall level of returns. The Fund is denominated in USD. If their Investment Portfolio+ contract is not denominated in USD, the value of the investment may fall and rise as a result of exchange rate fluctuations. MARKET DISRUPTIONS The calculation of the Return* may be adjusted to take account of market and/or trading disruption. Market disruption for the Fund would mean, for example, a time when the level of the Underlying Fund is not published by the fund provider or the Fund does not issue a price. CREDIT RISK In the event that the Issuer is affected by a Credit Event, your client could lose some or all of the money invested. Investor protection/compensation schemes do not cover the investment risk chosen in respect of the Fund. Old Mutual Isle of Man Branch or any Old Mutual Group company will not assume responsibility for the obligations of third parties. In the event that Old Mutual Isle of Man Branch ceases trading during the term of the Fund, the Fund may be terminated and the value will depend on the market price offered by Investec Bank plc on that day. It will not reflect the full value of any performance up to that point as this only applies on maturity. This means your client could lose some or all of their money. The value of the Old Mutual International Investment Portfolio+ contract is linked to the value of funds, bank deposits and assets generally managed by third parties such as banks and fund managers. In the event that the provider of any asset, including bank deposits, fails, compensation will depend on the scheme in place where that provider is registered. Your client should be aware that any compensation arrangements would relate only to Old Mutual Isle of Man Branch s aggregate holdings across all affected policies rather than to individual investors. As a result, your client may not benefit from any scheme. * The Return is a gross return and subject to tax. Page 13 of 15
