FY2017 ANNUAL RESULTS AND INVESTOR DAY PRESENTATION
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT AND DISCLAIMER
The views expressed here may contain information derived from publicly available sources that have not been independently verified.
The results discussed in this presentation are presented in terms of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), with the exception of the normalised income statement.
No representation or warranty is made as to the accuracy, completeness, reasonableness or reliability of this information. Any forward looking information in this presentation including, without limitation, any tables,
charts and/or graphs, has been prepared on the basis of a number of assumptions which may prove to be incorrect. This presentation should not be relied upon as a recommendation or forecast by Alexander Forbes
Group Holdings and/or any of its subsidiaries. Past performance of Alexander Forbes Group Holdings and any of its subsidiaries cannot be relied upon as a guide to future performance. We have made certain
assumptions for market growth rates for the each of the respective divisions as follows: (i) Institutional: market growth rate accounts for all business segments and takes into account expected margin compression,
shift towards umbrella funds, scheme pricing trends and historical rates; (ii) Retail: market growth rate accounts for all business segments and takes into account expected retail AuM appreciation and revenue
margin compression; (iii) Emerging Markets: market growth rate is based on weighted expected pension fund growth across Nigeria, Namibia and Botswana; and (iv) investment business: market growth rate based
on appreciation of balanced equity, bond and liquid asset portfolio, accounting for expected net outflows.
This presentation contains 'forward-looking statements' – that is, statements related to future, not past, events. In this context, forward-looking statements often address our expected future business and financial
performance, and often contain words such as 'expects,' 'anticipates,' 'intends,' 'plans,' 'believes,' 'seeks,' or 'will.' Forward–looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain.
For us, uncertainties arise from the behaviour of financial markets, fluctuations in interest and or exchange rates; from future integration of acquired businesses; and from numerous other matters of national, regional
and global scale, including those of a environmental, climatic, natural, political, economic, business, competitive or regulatory nature. These uncertainties may cause our actual future results to be materially different
that those expressed in our forward-looking statements. We do not undertake to update our forward-looking statements. We caution you that reliance on any forward-looking statement involves risk and uncertainties,
and that, although we believe that the assumption on which our forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, any of those assumptions could prove to be inaccurate and, as a result, the forward-looking
statement based on those assumptions could be materially incorrect.
This presentation is not intended, and does not, constitute or form part of any offer, invitation or the solicitation of an offer to purchase, otherwise acquire, subscribe for, sell or otherwise dispose of, any securities in
Alexander Forbes Group Holdings and any of its subsidiaries or undertakings or any other invitation or inducement to engage in investment activities, nor shall this presentation (or any part of it) nor the fact of its
distribution form the basis of, or be relied on in connection with, any contract or investment decision.
NOTE: References to Mercer shall be construed to include Mercer LLC and/or its associated companies.

AMBITION 2022 | Five key focus areas to drive growth (1/2)
Get “back in the
boardroom” and
improve cross-sell
• Historically built trustee relationships at expense of corporate relationships
• Corporate relationship is critical to “earn the right” to access end-consumers
• Getting ‘Back in the Boardroom’ with the right capabilities to drive cross-sell of institutional and retail
Access consumers
through umbrella
offering
• Stand-alone and consulting under pressure with expected margin compression
• Considerable upside from umbrella and consulting asset flows expected with appropriate execution
• Well positioned to capture umbrella market share while optimising stand-alone
Drive SME penetration
• SMEs employ only ~5% of end consumers, while representing ~70% of the workforce
• SME focus through tied workforce and IFAs to capture volume and full margins
• SME strategy across Emerging Markets to deliver higher levels of retailisation

“We left another provider after 9 years…
We listened to employees, there were
a lot of problems and corporate

serve them all”
“Employee benefits must go
beyond the employee, they all
have families”
“I would be very keen to see a
