History
In March 2016, Old Mutual plc announced its managed separation strategy that sought to unlock and create value for shareholders through the separation of its four businesses, Old Mutual Emerging Markets, Nedbank, UK-based Old Mutual Wealth and Boston-based Old Mutual Asset Management (OMAM) into standalone entities. In November 2017, Old Mutual Wealth announced its intention to rebrand as Quilter plc and to list its shares on the London Stock Exchange (LSE) with secondary listings on the Johannesburg, Namibia, Malawi and Zimbabwe Stock Exchanges.
The firm selected Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan and Bank of America Merrill Lynch to lead its initial public offering which took place in June 2018 and which was estimated to have valued the company at $3.35 billion.
