"It has been a good first half, with encouraging growth across our business and we have been able to declare a significant increase in the dividend. Skandia's results are ahead of our expectations and the integration is progressing well. Currency movements always affect our results, but Old Mutual is now a significantly bigger and more diverse organisation than in the past and we are well placed in some very attractive markets."

Jim Sutcliffe
Chief Executive
