Established in 1845 in South Africa, it is now a FTSE100 listed company and has more than 16 million customers and £293.8bn assets under management. ==History== The company was founded 1845 as a mutual insurance company by John Fairbairn, together with several other prominent Cape Town figures such as the liberal politician Saul Solomon. The original name ''The Mutual Life Assurance Society of the Cape of Good Hope'' was changed to ''The South Africa Mutual Life Assurance Society'' in 1885. In 1939, the Old Mutual art deco office opened in Darling Street as the Mutual Building (or, Mutual Gebou in Afrikaans)〔 which has since been converted to residential use and known as "Mutual Heights". In 1956 Old Mutual relocated its Head Office to Mutualpark in Pinelands which was the largest office block in the southern hemisphere at the time.〔 In 1970, Old Mutual acquired a major shareholding in the newly formed ''Mutual & Federal'', and later acquiring the remaining shares in 2010. In 1973, Old Mutual acquired shareholdings in Nedcor Bank (renamed the Nedbank Group in 2005).〔 In 1997 and 1998, it acquired UK stockbrokers ''Capel-Cure Myers'' and ''Albert E. Sharp'' respectively which then merged to form Capel-Cure Sharp.〔 In 1999, it was demutualised and the company listed on the London, Johannesburg, Zimbabwe, Malawi and Namibian Stock Exchanges as ''Old Mutual''. Old Mutual establishes a head office in London.〔 In 2000, it bought the ''Gerrard Group'', a financial services concern, for $857m. Capel-Cure Sharp subsequently merged with Greig Middleton, Gerrard Group's private client business. Old Mutual sold Gerrard to Barclays Bank PLC in 2003.〔 Later in 2000 Old Mutual purchased United Asset Management, based in Boston, for US$1.46 billion in cash and assumed ownership of UAM net debt of around US$769 million, thus acquiring a large and diverse US-based asset manager. Among the holdings of UAM were the PBHG Funds of ''Pilgrim Baxter & Associates''. In 2003, PBA was one of many companies who faced charges related to market timing brought by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Attorney General of New York. Ultimately, the PBHG Funds (which had been renamed Liberty Ridge) were absorbed into the Old Mutual Funds group.〔(Curtain to close on Liberty Ridge Capital ) Morningstar Advisor, 24 November 2008〕 In 2005, Mike Levett retired as Chairman and was succeeded by Christopher Collins.〔 A Black Economic Empowerment deal was introduced at ''Old Mutual South Africa'', ''Nedbank'' and ''Mutual & Federal'' in 2005.〔 In 2006, Old Mutual acquired the Swedish insurer, Skandia, in a $6.5bn deal, bringing additional business in the United Kingdom, several other countries in Europe, in Latin America, the Far East and Australia (which Old Mutual has since exited).〔(Old Mutual seals deal for Skandia ) BBC News, 26 January 2006〕 Old Mutual also announced its Black Economic Empowerment deal in Namibia.〔 In 2010, Patrick O'Sullivan became Chairman of Old Mutual plc, succeeding Christopher Collins.〔 In 2011 Old Mutual sold US Life to Harbinger Group Inc. for $350 million.〔(Harbinger Capital Buys Old Mutual's U.S. Life Operations for $350 Million ) Bloomberg, 6 August 2010〕 In 2012, Old Mutual sold its Nordic operations to Skandia Liv for £2.1 billion.〔(Old Mutual to Sell Nordic Operations to Skandia Liv for $3.25 Billion ) Bloomberg, 15 December 2011〕 In 2013, Old Mutual strengthened operations in Africa with the acquisition of Provident Life Assurance in Ghana〔(Old Mutual Buys Out Ghana Insurance Firm ) Business Today, 5 September 2013〕 and Oceanic Life in Nigeria.〔(Old Mutual plans to acquire Nigerian firm ) Fin 24, 22 February 2012〕 In 2014 Skandia Colombia renamed to Old Mutual Colombia, Provident Life Assurance renamed to Old Mutual Ghana and Skandia UK renamed to Old Mutual Wealth.
