FUND COMMENTARY as at 31/03/2011 The FTSE Global All Cap Index rebounded from its mid-March low to gain 0.3% for the month, and 4.6% for the first quarter of 2011. Equities fell following Japan’s earthquake and tsunami on 11 March, with the FTSE All Cap Japan Index declining by over 14% for the year to date, before rebounding to end the quarter 2.2% lower. In a reversal of the pattern earlier in the year, emerging markets outperformed developed markets in March. The FTSE All Cap Emerging Index rose 3.5% during the

Strong corporate earnings and US labour reports have boosted optimism, and the US Business Roundtable’s economic outlook index has risen to 113, the highest point since records began in 2002. However, this contrasts with pessimism among American consumers and a still-sluggish housing market. Global equities may remain volatile on concerns that the economic recovery may be hindered by uprisings in the Middle East and North Africa (pushing up the oil price), worries over Eurozone sovereign risk, and speculation that the Federal Reserve may end QE2 (the second round of quantitative easing – a $600 billion programme of government debt purchases) earlier than planned.

The above portfolio performance is calculated on a NAV-NAV basis and does not take any initial fees into account. Income is reinvested on the ex-dividend date. Actual investment performance will differ based on the initial fees applicable, the actual investment date and the date of reinvestment of income. Lump sum basis. Performances are in ZAR and as at 31 March 2011. Sources: Morningstar and OMIGSA (estimated inflation figure for month of March 2011). Unit trusts are generally medium- to long-term investments. Past performance is no indication of future growth. It is important that you are prepared for some shorter term fluctuations as your investment moves in line with the markets. Fluctuations or movements in exchange rates may cause the value of underlying international investments to go up or down. Unit trusts can engage in borrowing and scrip lending. A schedule of fees and charges and maximum commissions is available from the company/intermediary. You can easily sell your investment at the ruling price of the day (calculated at 15h00 on a forward pricing basis and 17h00 at month-end for Old Mutual RAFI® 40 Tracker Fund and Old Mutual Top 40 Fund). The Old Mutual Money Market Fund unit price aims to be static but investment capital is not guaranteed. The total return is primarily made up of interest (declared daily at 13h00), but may also include any gain/loss on any particular instrument and this may result in a capital loss in extreme cases. Specialist equity funds may hold a greater risk as exposure limits to a single security may be higher. A feeder fund portfolio is a portfolio that, apart from assets in liquid form, consists solely of units in a single portfolio of a collective investment scheme. A fund of funds unit trust invests only in other collective investment schemes, which may levy their own charges. Certain funds may be capped in order to be managed in accordance with their mandates. Different classes of units apply to these portfolios and are subject to different fees and charges. Old Mutual is a member of the Association for Savings & Investment SA.
