CHAIRPERSON S STATEMENT TO UNIT HOLDERS About Us Old Mutual Plc is an international investment, savings, insurance and banking group founded in Cape Town, South Africa in 1845 as the country s first mutual life insurance company. The Group provides life assurance, asset management, banking and general insurance in Europe, the Americas, Africa and Asia to over 16 million customers. The Kenya entities are part of Old Mutual Emerging Markets business and is a fully owned subsidiary of Old Mutual Plc that has its primary listing on London Stock Exchange and secondary listings on, Johannesburg, Zimbabwe, Namibia and Malawi stock exchanges....we have improved our processes to allow clients to receive their funds via MPESA for amounts below 70,000, reducing the transaction costs associated with EFT payments and improving our turnaround times to our clients... Ms. Rose Ogega CHAIRPERSON 2017 Economic Review The Kenyan economy is estimated to have grown by 4.9% in 2017, mainly supported by improvements in the growth rate of the real estate and public administration sectors and an improvement in the second half in agriculture. Deceleration in growth in key sectors such as financial intermediation, manufacturing, transport and storage have weighed down the overall economic growth rate. Inflation reduced in the year from 6.3% in December 2016 to 4.5% in December 2017. Inflation in the first half of the year picked up significantly due to the poor harvest experienced in late 2016. This in particular resulted in a rapid rise in maize prices which subsequently the Government moved to contain through a subsidy that effectively fixed the price of maize flour at KES 90 per two kilogram packet. 8 OLD MUTUAL UNIT TRUST FUNDS ANNUAL REPORT
CHAIRPERSON S STATEMENT TO UNIT HOLDERS (Continued) This subsidy, the impact of improving rainfall on other crop prices and helped inflation move lower during the second half of 2017. In the year, the Monetary Policy Committee held the Central Bank Rate at 10% with the economy exhibiting sluggish demand in part due to the prolonged election period and slow private credit growth as banks adjusted to the interest rate cap rule. The Committee has cited though that growth is expected to pick up in 2018, inflation outlook is favourable and the currency is expected to be stable. The NSE 20 and NASI indices recovered in 2017 seeing a growth of 16.5% and 28.4% respectively as market participants bid up share prices from low levels driven by increasing optimism over the likelihood of accelerating corporate earnings growth in 2018 and the approaching end of electioneering. Our Ambition Since inception of the Old Mutual Unit Trusts Funds in 2003 we have strived to make the Unit Trust Funds accessible to all through significantly lowering the minimum amount of funds that need to be invested in any fund; enabling access via your mobile phone and expanding our network of branches and service centres. As we further seek to improve the services to our existing 26,745 unit holders we have improved our processes to allow clients to receive their funds via MPESA for amounts below 70,000, reducing the transaction costs associated with EFT payments and improving our turnaround times to our clients. We have further improved our communication to clients by alerting them via SMS of any transactions done on their accounts to secure their account and reduce the possibility of fraud incidents. We continue to encourage clients to update their information and a majority of our clients are now receiving regular communication via e-mail as opposed to via the post-office.

With considerable exposure to strong performers such as KCB and Safaricom the equity portion in the funds performed to expectations. Long term investors in funds with equity investments will appreciate that performance varies considerably from year to year. Though over the long term the stock market will rise reflecting the performance of the economy and of the leading companies in the economy that are often listed at the Securities Exchange. It is therefore our continued expectation that the equity market will be rewarding where investments are held in companies that seek to maximise shareholder wealth over the long term. Investors are encouraged to pursue a similar long term investment horizon and note the inherent price volatility of the Old Mutual Equity Fund is part and parcel of investing in equities. If this volatility does not sit well with any unit holders the option exists to invest in Old Mutual Balanced Fund or East African Fund that have a less aggressive risk profile. The even more conservative funds such as the Money Market Fund and Bond Fund produced modest returns in line with their cautious investment risk profile. Our largest fund, the Money Market Fund seeks to provide a return comparable to other money market investments whilst simultaneously providing Unit Holders access to their funds within a matter of a couple of days. The Fund Manager continues to prudently invest client monies with the appropriate portfolio diversification combined with careful and thoughtful fundamental analysis. Portfolio construction and risk management continues to be at the heart of our investment process. 10 OLD MUTUAL UNIT TRUST FUNDS ANNUAL REPORT
CHAIRPERSON S STATEMENT TO UNIT HOLDERS (Continued) 2018 Outlook In 2017 politics dominated the news as expected and had a significant influence on the overall economic performance. Investors however looked passed that and positioned for continued economic expansion within the country in one of the fastest growing regions in the world. With politics receding or at least the temperature around it and the government looking to continue with its development agenda, more attention at the stock market at least will be paid to the success and failure of companies as they look to grow and expand. Kenya economic growth is forecast by the World Bank to be in the region of 5.5% in 2018 in large part due to absence of the election and an improvement in rainfall and with the possibility that access to credit will improve for small and medium sized enterprises. Inflation is not expected to be a significant issue through the year though a lot depends once again depends on rainfall and the oil price and their impact on food and fuel prices. Barring any adverse shocks, the Kenya Shilling is expected to remain broadly stable though with a bias to depreciate modestly and is supported by high foreign exchange reserves and the intermittent activity by the Central Bank of Kenya to stem excessive volatility. Financial Planning All investors, whether with a short, medium or long term investment time frame, should each year undergo a reassessment of their financial plan and goals to ascertain whether they are on track to achieve them. In this regard Old Mutual has invested extensively in the numbers and capability of our client service officers and financial advisors that are always available to offer advice suitable to your unique individual circumstances and I encourage you to meet with them. Make a point of establishing a continuing relationship with your financial adviser and ensure that you have at least one meeting a year. We thank you for investing in the Old Mutual Unit Trusts and making us your partner. Gratitude I would like to convey my appreciation to the management and staff for their efforts during the year. My appreciation goes to the Board of Directors for their input, oversight and giving strategic direction to the company. I also extend my gratitude to our clients and business affiliates for your continued support over the years. We look forward to continuing to work with you in the future. Lastly, I thank the Government of Kenya and the regulatory authorities namely: Capital Markets Authority, Insurance Regulatory Authority, Retirement Benefits Authority, and Kenya Revenue Authority who continue to provide an enabling business environment. Thank you. Rose N. Ogega. Chairperson ANNUAL REPORT OLD MUTUAL UNIT TRUST FUNDS 11
