Various members of key management personnel hold, and/or have at various times during the year held, investments managed by asset management businesses of the Group. These include unit trusts, mutual funds and hedge funds. None of the amounts concerned are material in the context of the funds managed by the Group business concerned, and all of the investments have been made by the individuals concerned either on terms which are the same as those available to external clients generally or, where that is not the case, on the same preferential terms as were available to employees of the business generally.

(iv) Skandia Liv
Livfösäkringsaktiebolaget Skandia (publ) (Skandia Liv), is a related party to the Old Mutual Group. Skandia Liv is a wholly owned subsidiary of Skandia and its business is conducted on a mutual basis. For the reasons given in the accounting policies Skandia Liv's result is not consolidated in these financial statements.

Material transactions between the Group and the Skandia Liv Group in eleven months ended 31 December 2006 were as follows:

1 Agreement in principle and framework agreement on co-operation covering market-related functions and certain staff functions - this involves distribution and distribution support, customer service, market communication, administration of Group insurance products, and staff and service functions. In the eleven months ended 31 December 2006 Skandia Liv paid £104 million for services rendered under this agreement.

2 Joint occupational pensions - the Group and Skandia Liv have a joint occupational pensions concept that is administered by Skandia Liv, which pays all distribution costs. For the part that is invested in the Group's unit linked funds, Skandia Liv receives compensation from the Group, based on premiums and funds under management paid over the life of the insurance contracts. The Group paid Skandia Liv £17 million under this arrangement in the eleven months to 31 December 2006.

3 Premises - the Group rents office premises from Skandia Liv. The Group paid market rents of £13 million for these premises in the eleven months to 31 December 2006.

4 Occupational pensions - Skandia Liv provides occupational pensions for the employees of the Group, for which the Group paid £12 million in the eleven months to 31 December 2006.

5 Agreement on IT services - the Group provides IT services to Skandia Liv. The amount charged to Skandia Liv was £7 million in the eleven months to 31 December 2006.

The balance outstanding at 31 December 2006 due from Skandia Liv was £37 million.

Various other arrangements exist between the Group and Skandia Liv, principally in respect of provision of accounting, legal and treasury functions, all of which are transacted on an arm's length basis.

(v) AKA Capital (Pty) Ltd
A Group subsidiary, Nedbank Ltd, sold its 20% interest in Aka Capital (Proprietary) Limited ("Aka Capital") at arm's length, in August 2006, to the other existing Aka Capital shareholders. These included Mr RJ Khoza, who is a non-executive director of Old Mutual plc, who acquired an additional 4.2% of Aka Capital through a special purpose vehicle (SPV) for R11.0 million. Nedbank Ltd's Capital Investment Committee approved this transaction in line with its mandate in the normal course of business. The funding for the acquisition by Mr Khoza's SPV was financed by Nedbank Ltd on arm's length terms, with R11.4 million of such funding being outstanding at year-end.
