3 Absolute Return Investments Market Highlights Domestic equities traded in positive territory throughout February 2012 following the January 2012 rebound. The FTSE/JSE Shareholder Weighted Index returned 2.8% for the month. Solid macro data and further clarity around the Greek sovereign debt issues helped to keep the equity markets going. The South African Volatility Index (SAVI), a measure of implied volatility on the FTSE/JSE Top 40 Index, barely moved over the course of the month.

4 Alternative Investments Infrastructure Private Equity 2 The Department of Energy (DOE) has been running a programme to procure renewable energy generation: the Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Programme (REIPPP). In terms of the programme, the DOE aims to procure MW of renewable capacity from IPPs before 2016, split between onshore wind (1 850 MW), solar PV (1 450 MW) and solar CSP (200 MW), with the balance going to other technologies. At the end of last year, 53 bids were submitted in the first round of which 28 were awarded preferred bidder status and represented potential capacity of MW. This left MW available for rounds two (submissions 5 March), three and beyond. The programme will be expanded in the future. The Infrastructure team partnered with other parties on 12 projects, of which 10 were awarded preferred bidder status and accounted for roughly half of the MW s awarded. The team is again participating in round two. The price of renewable energy generation is decreasing significantly, to a point where it makes sense beyond just the feel good factor. The assets, with strong CPI protection characteristics and stable projected cash flows, are good longterm savings assets. Development Impact Funds Schools and Education Investment Impact Fund of SA (Schools Fund): Following the first deal being approved in December 2011, the second deal was approved in quarter one, Documentation has been submitted for the incorporation of the School and Education Grant Fund (the Grant Fund ). The Grant Fund was created to compliment the Schools Fund by sourcing grant funding aimed at improving the of quality of education. This is done by involving organisations that provide whole-school and in-community development services. These services include: - the training and support of principals and school management teams, - the organisation and administration of school operations, - increasing the capacity of school governing bodies and education officials, - in-service training and support for teachers, and - facilitating access to programmes which address poverty-related inhibitors to learning, such as nutrition, health and safety programmes. Housing Impact Fund of SA (HIFSA): The Birch Acres development project, one of the projects within the Mettle transaction, was completed in December 2011 and delivered a 24% internal rate of return (IRR). We have made a significant commitment to investing in renewable energy and have secured several successful bids in the first round tender run by Government for renewable energy. Jurie Swart Infrastructure All three of the Old Mutual Private Equity (OMPE) funds of funds ended 2011 successfully, outperforming the FTSE/JSE All Share Index by between 3% and 29.6% for the year. During the last quarter of 2011, we successfully concluded the sale of Shanduka, an investment that delivered growth in excess of 40% a year since February Shanduka was an investment in OMPE Fund II, which is held by OMMMPEF2 and OMPESF. During February 2012, the disposal of Savcio was concluded, following sign-off of the deal by the competition tribunal. The Savcio sale was the last asset in OMPE Fund I, a fund that has delivered over four times money back to investors since its inception in All three of our fund of funds products have benefited from exposure to OMPE Fund I.

5 End Year Dibanisa Fund Managers 3 Dibanisa Pooled Fund Range Dibanisa Fund Managers has a range of index tracker funds which track various asset classes. These pooled portfolios can be used as a core solution to an investment strategy and enhanced by adding more expensive and aggressive satellite portfolios. The Dibanisa RAFI ALSI Capped Tracker has outperformed the FTSE/JSE SWIX and FTSE/JSE All Share Indices by 0.8% and 0.7% year- to-date respectively. Obtaining consistent outperformance from actively managed global funds after fees is a challenge. Alternatively-weighted global index trackers like the Dibanisa FTSE RAFI All World Tracker Fund is a cost-effective way to gain exposure to both developed and emerging equity markets. The Dibanisa S&P Africa ex-sa tracker fund is an efficient way to gain diversified exposure to 20 African countries, while the Dibanisa MSCI Emerging Markets tracker fund provides access to high growth countries showing exceptional value at the moment. Large Cap Exposure The majority of the South African equity market can be attributed to large caps, as large cap stocks, represented by the FTSE/JSE Top 40 constituents, make up about 84.3% of the market cap of the FTSE/JSE All Share Index. Mid caps and small caps only represent about 13.3% and 2.5% respectively. Alternatively-weighted passive strategies tracking the FTSE/JSE RAFI 40 and FTSE/JSE Equally Weighted Top 40 indices have historically outperformed the FTSE/JSE Top 40 Index at lower volatility over various periods. As seen in the performance triangle, a blended FTSE/JSE RAFI 40 and FTSE/JSE Equally Weighted Top 40 tracker solution has outperformed the FTSE/JSE Top 40 Index by 2.4% p.a. from the start of 2009 to the end of As at end February 2012, the blended strategy has outperformed the FTSE/JSE Top 40 Index by 3.9% over a 12-month period. Investors can access this large cap strategy via a segregated account or the Collective investment Schemes managed by Dibanisa. Cost-effective, alternatively weighted tracker solutions can add significant value to a fund s overall portfolio construction.

7 Futuregrowth Asset Management Yield Curve (%) Market Highlights Following a strong start to 2012, the local interest-rate markets had to deal with renewed intra-month volatility during February with an average trading range of around 30 basis points. Highlights during the month included strong performance from the rand, sharply reduced budget-deficit estimates (for the current as well as the forthcoming fiscal years), fairly strong fourth quarter GDP data and a mixture of slightly higher CPI and lower PPI data releases. Foreign buying interest has kept pace with the global trend, lending some support to the market with net purchases for the year-to-date now totaling R11.5bn. Looking north, another liquidity injection by the European Central Bank in support of the European banking sector as well as some progress on Greece, kept market sentiment in positive territory. As a result, the All Bond Index returned +0.2%, with short-dated bonds performing the best. Inflation-linked bonds also experienced some intramonth volatility, but the inflation-linked index managed to end the month in positive territory, with a return of 0.6% and outperforming cash (+0.4%). Our investment view, based on an expectation of lower inflation by year-end and an unchanged repo rate, supports an increase in interestrate risk. We are particularly interested in the steeply positive slope of the yield curve, which appears to have priced in too much negative news. However, it is difficult to ignore the risks associated with the above strategy, in particular, the impact of a rising crude oil price, which is forcing us to slowly unwind the inflation-linked bond holding Longer-dated bonds have performing well during the first two months of Feb Dec Sources: I-Net, Futuregrowth R206 R201 R157 R203 R204 R207 R208 R186 R213 R209 R Y-t-d Returns (%) Investment Strategy 5 Our money market funds are neutral duration and overweight in longerdated assets. Our investment view has become less defensive as we increase our holding of longer-dated fixed rate bonds, while retaining some inflation-linked bonds as hedge against inflation surprises in the short term. Wikus Furstenberg Portfolio Manager In our bond mandates, we retain a small underweight duration position, while accumulating longer-dated bonds into weakness. Corporate debt spreads have tightened to the point where we are conducting a very selective purchase strategy. Inflation-linked bonds still offer fair value following the strong bull rally over the past few months.

8 Macro Strategy Investments Monthly market comments Boutique performance relative to performance target to end February 2012 After underperforming in 2011, emerging markets have been leading global equities higher in In US dollar terms, the MSCI Emerging Market Index gained 6% in February, and the MSCI All Country World Index gained 4.9%. On the domestic front, the FTSE/JSE All Share Index (ALSI) was up 1.7%, listed property gained 1%, the All Bond Index was up 0.2%, inflation-linked bonds gained 0.6%, and cash delivered 0.5% for the month. Commodity prices were generally firmer, led by the oil price which was up 12% for the month on the back of geopolitical concerns in the Middle East. The domestic budget was well received, with the deficit coming in below expectations and a commitment to further narrow the deficit in coming years.

9 Marriott Market Highlights February 2012 Inflation: Consumer inflation in January measured 6.3% year-on-year (y/y), remaining above the South African Reserve Bank (SARB) s 6% upper target band. Inflation is set to continue rising as South Africa (SA) is yet to feel the full impact of a weaker rand. Almost one-third of SA s gross domestic expenditure (GDE) consists of imports, thus the rand s depreciation against the US dollar over the last 12 months will exert significant upward pressure on inflation in the months ahead as import costs rise. Recapping 2011 Rising Inflation and a Fatigued Consumer Apart from our interest rate expectations, 2011 unfolded largely as we had anticipated. Currency: The rand is currently trading at approximately R7.50/US$. The current strength in the currency from the R8.20/US$ level seems to have been associated with recent announcements that rates will be kept lower for longer in the US, making SA rates more attractive. We have seen approximately R3 billion in foreign inflows into our market for the week ending 24 February which has brought the total amount of foreign flows for the year into positive territory. The majority of flows are into our bond market with a R10.8 billion total for the year so far. Local Markets: The start of the year has been good for equity investors, with the FTSE/JSE All Share Index (ALSI) increasing in value by approximately 7.3%. We are of the view that the majority of sectors making up the ALSI are expensive, as reflected in low dividend yields without the prospect of above-average dividend growth. Sectors that are showing good value, however, are the telecommunication and insurance sectors. The forward yields of Vodacom, MTN, Altech and Liberty Holdings compare favourably to current cash interest rates. On an after-tax basis the yields of these securities are even more attractive. These companies also have the potential to grow their income in line with inflation over the next five years. This yield growth proposition suggests cheap income streams. Offshore Markets: The global economy is showing slower growth which would generally manifest itself in less growth in corporate dividends and, hence, less capital growth. Seeking out reliable dividend streams and high dividend yields will therefore be the better way of ensuring reasonable returns. With the dividend yields of some of the biggest companies in the world well above bond yields, equity valuations in these markets are presenting investors with a significant opportunity to generate inflationbeating returns over the next five years. Marriott aims to reduce the financial anxiety of the retired investor The combination of rising inflation and slowing household consumption, as well as on-going uncertainties surrounding the Eurozone sovereign debt crisis, resulted in volatile markets with prices ending the year at similar levels to where they started.

11 Old Mutual Property All Property rental reversion (%) Market Highlights Performance Profile The distribution growth for the full year to December 2011 was 1.4% higher than that of December 2010, while the second half of 2011 was 2.1% higher than the comparable period in The fund outperformed the Listed Property sector in 2011, producing a total annual return of 19.3% versus the index s 8.9%. The fund s discount to NAV decreased from 8.0% in December 2010 to a surplus of 3.4% at December The standing portfolio s rental growth increased by 6.1%, due to a combination of reduction in vacancies, improved tenant retentions as well as positive rental reversions in The standing portfolio s value increased by 0.7% (since December 2010). The fund also disposed of seven properties in 2010 for a sum of R195.4m. The annual 2011 IPD index results are scheduled for release at the end of March The previous release (year ending December 2010) showed direct property produce a total annual return of 13.3%. The underlying fundamentals of commercial property remain relatively healthy, as highlighted by the latest set of results put out by the listed property sector. For the most part, these were characterised by lower vacancy rates and positive rental reversions on lease renewals (see graphic). In saying that, we do not foresee 2011 total returns surpassing those of 2010, mainly as a result of a shift in valuation fundamentals. However, in the medium term we expect a gradual increase in capital growth as excess supply is absorbed. The latest SAPOA Capitalisation & Discount rate survey suggests a 20 to 30 basis point increase in cap rates for the year ending December In terms of sector allocation, we believe retail-property capital growth will outperform over the medium term, while industrial property is likely to provide a superior total return on the back of a higher income return. SA Corporate Real Estate Fund (Listed Real Estate) The fund maintained its strategy of continued reinvestment in the portfolio, through incurring capital expenditure of R175m in However, it remains well funded for quality acquisition opportunities. With increasing pressure on vacancy rates, our preference is for dominant retail centres. 9 Peter Levett Boutique Head Lower vacancies & positive rental reversions support growth outlook 12% 10% 8% 6% 4% 2% 0% -2% Lower vacancies; positive reversions -4% Bubbles indicate listed property funds; sized according to market cap -6% 0% 2% 4% 6% 8% 10% 12% 14% Sources: Company data,; Old Mutual Property Research Triangle Funds (Direct Real Estate) All Property vacancy rate (%) The fund management team remains focused on actively managing arrears and vacancies levels. Management s focus on portfolio arrears has seen a significant improvement in decreasing the level of arrears. Inactive tenants with a low chance of debt recovery are being given special attention. Office vacancies in the Durban CBD continue to be a concern. Vacancies remain high due to economic decline in the node as well as the migration of tenants out of the CBD and closer to the airport. The fund continues to focus on cost-control measures and industry benchmarking across all properties, in order for us to deliver the desired returns.
