IT Infrastructure & Business Continuity Plans
IT Infrastructure
Old Mutual Wealth uses both internal resource and external suppliers to manage, maintain and develop its platform solutions. Old
Mutual Wealth has a mature IT infrastructure with a strong reputation in technology, having developed and managed their own
platform solutions. Old Mutual Wealth are now working with a 3rd party provider, FNZ, to further develop their technology and
build upon their strong foundations by introducing greater efficiencies and upgrading their customer and adviser offering. Old
Mutual Wealth expects an enhanced customer and adviser proposition supplied by FNZ to be operational in 2020.
Business Continuity
Old Mutual Wealth maintains programmes for business continuity management and IT disaster recovery. This ensures that client
data and critical business services will be recovered in the event of a major incident. This programme is governed by a business
continuity policy to which all operations are required to conform. The policy requires that business continuity plans are
maintained, detailing critical business functions, tasks and dependencies. Old Mutual Wealth maintains a central Incident
Management Plan and supporting team that can be invoked following an incident.
Business continuity plans are reviewed, as a minimum, annually.

**The flexibility of our Collective Retirement Account can provide a suitable alternative depending on client needs.

Fund coverage
The Old Mutual Wealth platform provides access to around 1,700 funds (available in multiple share classes) through 120+ leading
fund managers. The size and scale gives Old Mutual Wealth incredible buying power to negotiate excellent value for customers and
79.3% of the share classes offered are the cheapest available on the market.
The fund range is driven by financial adviser demand, however in order to be added to the platform a fund must successfully go
through a comprehensive due diligence process. This due diligence process involves four key reviews: 1. Operational - can the fund
be administered through Old Mutual Wealth’s platform; 2. Regulatory - is the fund suitable for UK retail investors; 3. Commercial –
where possible, the fund must not have an initial charge to the client; 4. Legal - agreements must be robust so that they protect
financial advisers and their clients. Old Mutual Wealth is dedicated to providing a quality fund range, rather than simply offering any
fund in the market.
Broadly the same fund range is available irrespective of the tax wrapper required by the client. All tax wrappers available through the
Old Mutual Wealth platform invest directly into the underlying funds, with the same fund pricing. This makes it easier for the financial
adviser to manage the client's entire wealth and not worry about differences in the fund range when building portfolios.
The WealthSelect Managed Portfolio Service is a fully outsourced, actively managed discretionary investment solution, incorporating
asset allocation, manager selection, rebalancing, and ongoing monitoring. The well diversified, risk-targeted portfolios are product
optimised, have a choice of investment styles (active or passive blend), and are designed to maximise potential returns for eight
different risk profiles. They are built exclusively from Global Partners range of funds - a hand-picked collection of the industry's leading
funds carefully chosen and fully researched by Old Mutual Wealth, covering a wide range of investors' needs.
All of the funds are retail share classes. The unbundled charging structure ensures these rebates are passed in full back to the
customer.

Sales Tools
Factfind Risk Profiling Asset Allocation Fund Selection Model Portfolios
X    
We have a comprehensive suite of financial planning tools available to help you with both pre and post-sale business, all available at
no charge.
TOOLS:
Fund Centre (in partnership with Financial Express) – Provides fund information including performance, fund charges, volatility,
ratings, plus cost and charges and target market information required by the European MiFID II regulations. You can also obtain fund

interactive performance charts, portfolio holding breakdowns, and daily updated factsheets. Portfolio Explorer also includes our
market-leading risk profiling tools to help you interactively assess your clients’ attitude to risk, and the portfolios are also mapped
directly to the most widely used external tools including Defaqto, Dynamic Planner and Finametrica.
INVESTMENTS:
UScan investment analysis tool – analyse individual funds, assets in client’s accounts, or model portfolios using historic performance.
Demonstrate the value of your advice by including or excluding fund switch history on an account. A white-labelled client report is
available.

pension by 05/04/2020. The calculator takes into account any carry forward available and any taper to the Annual Allowance that
applies.

opportunities.
Chargeable Gain Tool – Calculates the chargeable events for part surrender of all policies, a full surrender of individual policies and
full surrender of all policies within your client’s bond.
Chargeable Event Gain – Income Tax Calculator – Calculates the income tax payable, after available reliefs, for one or more chargeable
event gains on a life or redemption policy. It can’t be used where the gain is assessable on trustees, or where a company owns the
investment, because life and redemption contracts owned by a company are taxed under the ‘loan relationship’ rules.
Inheritance tax calculator – Calculates a client’s potential IHT liability. It also includes information on gifts, exemptions and suitable
trusts.

Online Functionality
Old Mutual Wealth offers full online submission of new and additional business through the platform, with a comprehensive range of
post-sale review and switch options.
The new business functionality is connected up to the pre-sale risk assessment; portfolio construction and fund research tools, so that
advisers can use the entire straight through process. All details input online are saved and can be easily retrieved for audit and
administrative purposes. Any online activities not yet submitted are saved as “Pending items” and can also be retrieved, edited and
submitted.
Once business has been submitted, the online activity can be easily tracked, with the option to receive email update alerts and to
view PDF versions of all related documentation. The integrated system means that it is easy to view client’s holdings and switch funds
(with the necessary authority) with no charge. Bulk switching functionality also enables efficient portfolio management. Reports such
as UScan, Portfolio review, transaction history and more ensure the audit trail is well documented.

Post sale reporting
Post-sale, Old Mutual Wealth accounts are available online for valuations, transaction history, U-Scan reporting and copies of quarterly
client reports. Used together, these can provide a comprehensive overview of client holdings – very valuable when it comes to
conducting a client review. Uniquely for the UK platform market, U-Scan will automatically include a plan’s full switching history,
allowing advisers to ensure their investment process is adding value, and to demonstrate this to customers.
UScan Reporting – UScan is a powerful interactive analytical tool for both pre-and post-sale business, which allows advisers to review
the funds and performance data for the following:
• A client’s individual account on the Old Mutual Wealth platform
• Multiple accounts for one client on the Old Mutual Wealth platform
• Model portfolios
• Individual funds
• Investments held with another provider.
Reports are available at all stages of the client lifecycle, thereby creating continuity of advice from pre-sale, through to new business,
and into the client review process. It can be used to research and evidence your recommendation that your client should invest or
switch into a fund or portfolio of funds.
For account reviews, the tool will report on all of the historic holdings held in the account since inception, not just the current funds.
You can choose to exclude the most recent switch from the report, or add in a fictional switch to show the performance had it taken
place. For reports on model portfolios, the switching history can be included or excluded in the performance charts, one or more
transactions excluded, and fictional switches can be added at a date of your choice.
These extra features can really bring to life the value of your investment process and advice to your client.

CONFIDENTIAL

Platform Directory
The investment or portfolio can be benchmarked against one or more funds, a sector average or index to further evidence how it is
performing. When choosing funds as a benchmark, you can use funds offered by Old Mutual Wealth or funds available externally.
Capital Gains Reporting Tool – This tool offers all the standard reports and calculations of any other CGT tool as well as “what if”
disposal planning reports to maximise tax opportunities. The Old Mutual Wealth Capital Gains reporting tool also offers market-
leading features allowing advisers to amend the take-on position, especially useful for re-registration cases making reports more
accurate.

Cash Accounts
Old Mutual Wealth does not currently operate a cash account, but for customers with an ISA or Collective Investment Account that
want to invest in cash, they can use their cash deposit facility. The current rate of interest paid on this facility is available on the Old
Mutual Wealth website: https://www.oldmutualwealth.co.uk/fund-ranges/Fund-information/Interest-Rate-On-Cash-Deposit/
They also have a range of cash/money market funds available through the SelfSelect investment range for use within the Onshore
Bond and Collective Retirement Account.

Re-registration
Old Mutual Wealth supports the electronic re-registration on and off-platform with participating providers on the TISA Exchange for
the ISA and Collective Investment Account.
We are a member of the TISA Exchange for electronic re-registration for our ISA and Collective Investment Account and aim to process
re-registration requests on the same day as receipt. The transaction usually takes around a week, although this is dependent on the
fund group’s processing timescales.
Cash transfers are currently facilitated for the Collective Retirement Account and where units cannot be re-registered for the ISA.

DFM’s
We offer a collectives-only DFM service that meets specific criteria, to ensure the process is efficient and compliant.
The DFM can use the pre-defined portfolio functionality available on our platform when constructing model portfolios for the financial
adviser and their clients. The DFM can manage investments and switch the underlying funds within the model portfolios at their own
discretion, subject to an investment agreement between the DFM and the client.
Old Mutual Wealth conducts its own due diligence assessment on the proposed DFM to ensure we are comfortable that the firm is
suitable. Old Mutual Wealth has already approved and is working with a number of DFM firms.
For more information on accessing the DFM service, advisers can contact their Old Mutual Wealth consultant.

Charges
Our unbundled charging structure, combined with very competitive fund costs and no hidden extras, means your client can achieve
great value on the total cost of ownership of an investment with Old Mutual Wealth.
• One simple tiered Product/Service charge across all wrappers with a rate that reduces as investments* increase

pensions, investments, protection, offshore, taxation and trusts. To complement the head office-based technical support team, there
are 20+ highly-qualified and experienced individuals based across the UK. They work with individual adviser firms to enhance their

Transfer Value Analysis Service
Old Mutual Wealth has been offering TVA services to financial advisers for over 20 years. The TVAS team currently consists of 6
members, with over 35 years’ combined TVAS experience, 60 years’ defined benefit pensions experience and a range of qualifications
between them.
They use their experience and familiarity with defined benefit schemes to:
• help advisers understand what's needed to produce a report by providing a checklist for them to use
• interpret and vet the data to ensure that accurate information is input so advisers and their client get a reliable, high-quality
TVAS report
• help with general guidance and any TVAS queries advisers may have
• provide a quality TVAS report as quickly as possible – targeted with a 10 day turnaround.
Old Mutual Wealth’s TVA reports are produced using the O&M Transvas Profiler software, provided by O&M Pension Solutions. The
TVA report will analyse the transfer from the ceding DB scheme to the Old Mutual Wealth Collective Retirement Account only. This
means that the TVA report is only appropriate if the intended destination for the DB transfer (if it was to proceed) is the Collective
Retirement Account.
In line with the FCA’s position regarding the supply of TVA services, Old Mutual Wealth will be charging for the production of a TVA
report. Each report will cost £165 + VAT and we will invoice adviser firms on a monthly basis in arrears. When there is more than one
DB scheme for an individual client (for multiple schemes or breaks in service) then each of these will require a separate TVAS report
and will be charged separately (i.e. multiples of £165+VAT). Within 180 days of the issue date of the original TVAS report requotes
will be included at no extra cost. After 180 days any requotes will be treated as a new request and charged for accordingly. Further
details regarding the TVA service can be found in our FAQ document.
Informer and Knowledge Direct
Articles, information and support for advisers on all areas of UK financial planning, written by their technical team, are available on
their website. There are also market reviews by the industry’s biggest names, from both Quilter Investors and other fund groups.

MIFID II
The Old Mutual Wealth platform has made the following changes to comply with the new MiFID II regulations introduced from 1 st
January 2018.
Costs and Charges Disclosures
• Ex-ante / Pre-sale disclosures
For new business and top ups Old Mutual Wealth provide a Costs and Charges Statement at the end of our new business
illustrations, accessible as usual when processing an application on our platform. We have now added this statement to our
existing business quotations to support advisers with their client review process.
For fund switches we provide access to a range of generic Costs and Charges Statements which can be used in conjunction
with detailed fund cost information available on our website via a fund information tool. The tool also has a switch analysis
feature, allowing advisers to compare existing and potential asset allocations of portfolios across our investment ranges. The
output can then assist with costs and charges switching disclosure requirements.
For advisers who wish to continue to manage their clients' investments, clients can register to use our Online Customer
Centre and opt for online documentation to help reduce paperwork.
Alternatively, advisers can outsource their centralised investment proposition (CIP) to us and take advantage of our market-
leading solutions such as our discretionary managed portfolio service WealthSelect, our multi-asset funds (such as Cirilium,
Creation or Generation), or our bespoke investment management service through Quilter Cheviot.
• Ex-post / Post-sale disclosures
For clients invested on the platform, Old Mutual Wealth will meet advisers’ disclosure requirements by enclosing the annual
costs and charges statement with their quarterly statement once a year. We will be providing this disclosure annually from
early 2019, after we have received a year’s accurate post-sale cost data from fund managers.
To help clients keep track of the new documentation, we recommend getting them to register for our online Customer
Centre, where they can get regular valuations, access fund documentation and retrieve any of their platform documents.
10% Portfolio Drop with WealthSelect Managed Portfolio Service (MPS)
From the start of January, discretionary portfolio managers are required to track the performance of individual portfolios
from the date they last issued a valuation statement. Should the portfolio fall by 10% (and multiples of 10% thereafter) they
must send a notification to the client within 24 hours. The WealthSelect MPS is only available through financial advisers, who
are treated as our client, and accordingly we will be issuing adviser notifications through email, should this scenario occur.
MiFID II Support for Advisers
We provide advisers with a range of support to stay abreast of changing regulations. Below shows a few examples of the
support provided around MiFID II:
1. PRIIPs and MiFID II webpage – key information on the changes for advisers and examples of our Costs and Charges
statements.
2. A Costs and Charges Guide – explains the different calculations used throughout our illustrations and costs and
charges disclosures.
3. Costs and Charges Q&A – further information on the annual summary of Costs and Charges we will provide clients.
4. Fund Information Tool – mentioned in the attached, this provides advisers with information on funds to help with
suitability and costs and charges.
5. Video Series – covers the key themes emerging from regulation and how they will impact advisers and their clients.
We cover:
o target market – PROD and client segmentation
o disclosure – cost and charges disclosure
o reporting – new regular reporting
o other regulation – PRIIPs and KIDS

PROD
Target Market Information
To support advisers when making client recommendations we updated our Key Features Documents (KFDs) to make clear who the
product is and is not suitable for, and also make this available via an ‘at a glance’ document, available on our literature library.
We also publish fund target market information on our website, via a fund information tool. This tool provides information in brief
about the funds an adviser is considering. It can help advisers decide if a particular fund and its charges are right for their client(s).
The information is shown under three headings: basic fund information, investor characteristics (the type of investor a fund may be
suitable for, based on their attitudes and objectives), and fund costs and charges.
Video Series – covers the key themes emerging from regulation and how they will impact advisers and their clients; including target
market – PROD and client segmentation.
