that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements
The directors are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated and separate financial statements in accordance
with International Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements of the Companies Act of South Africa, and for such internal control as
the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated and separate financial statements that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated and separate financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group and Company’s ability
to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting
unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group and Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated and separate financial statements as a whole are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable
assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a
material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the
aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated and
separate financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the
audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated and separate financial statements, whether due to fraud
or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to
provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting
from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group and Company’s internal control.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures
made by the directors.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and based on the audit evidence
obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group and
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention
in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated and separate financial statements or, if such disclosures are
inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report.
However, future events or conditions may cause the Group and/or the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated and separate financial statements, including the
disclosures, and whether the consolidated and separate financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a
manner that achieves fair presentation.
• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group
to express an opinion on the consolidated and separate financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and
performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit
findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and
to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where
applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.
From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the
consolidated and separate financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters
in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we
determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be
expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
We have reviewed the accompanying Group embedded value report (“the Report”) of Momentum Metropolitan Holdings Ltd for the year
ended 30 June 2022, as set out on pages 11 to 24, and the basis of accounting as set out on page 11.
DIRECTORS’ RESPONSIBILITY
The directors of Momentum Metropolitan Holdings Ltd are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Report in accordance
with the basis of accounting set out on page 11, for determining that the basis of accounting is acceptable in the circumstances,
and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the Report that is free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
AUDITORS’ RESPONSIBILITY
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Report. We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review
Engagements (ISRE) 2410, “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity”. ISRE 2410
requires us to conclude whether anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Report is not prepared in all
material respects in accordance with the basis of accounting as set out on page 11. This standard also requires us to comply with
relevant ethical requirements.
A review of financial information in accordance with ISRE 2410 is a limited assurance engagement. We perform procedures primarily
consisting of making enquiries of management and others within the entity, as appropriate, and applying analytical procedures, and
evaluate the evidence obtained.
The procedures performed in a review are substantially less than and differ in nature from those performed in an audit conducted in
accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the Report.
CONCLUSION
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying Report for the year ended
30 June 2022 is not prepared, in all material respects in accordance with the basis of accounting set out on page 11.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Assumptions
The main assumptions used in the EV calculations are described below.
30.06.2022 30.06.2021
Principal assumptions (South Africa)1, 2 % %
Pre-tax investment return
Equities 15.5 13.9
Properties 13.0 11.4
Government stock 12.0 10.4
Other fixed-interest stocks 12.5 10.9
Cash 11.0 9.4
Risk-free return3 12.0 10.4
Risk discount rate (RDR)4 14.4 12.8
Investment return (before tax) – balanced portfolio3 14.2 12.6
Renewal expense inflation rate5 7.7 6.5
1
The principal assumptions relate only to the South African life insurance business. Assumptions relating to international life insurance businesses are based
on local requirements and can differ from the South African assumptions.
2
The assumptions quoted in the table are representative rates derived at the 10-year point of the yield curves.
3
Risk-free returns are taken from an appropriate market-related, risk-free yield curve as at the valuation date. Appropriate risk premia are added to the risk-
free yields in order to derive yields on other asset classes. Expected cash flows at each duration are discounted using yields appropriate to that duration.
The investment return on balanced portfolio business was calculated by applying the above returns to an expected long-term asset distribution.
4
The risk discount rate applied for covered business in South Africa is derived based on a weighted average cost of capital approach. The assumptions with
regards the beta used to derive the cost of equity, the equity risk premium and the relative weighting between debt and equity funding are reviewed annually
and has remained unchanged from that assumed at 30 June 2021 (the parameters used to derive the cost of debt have been updated to reflect the current
market inputs and expectations).
5
For the retail businesses an inflation rate of 5.0% p.a. is used over the planning horizon (three years) where after the inflation rate is derived from market
inputs as the difference between nominal and real yields across the term structure of these curves. An addition to the expense inflation is allowed for in
some divisions to reflect the impact of closed books that are in run-off. The 7.7% above represents the 10-year point of the yield curves.
Non-economic
The EV calculation uses the same best estimate assumptions with respect to future experience as those used in the financial
soundness valuation (FSV).
The EV of in-force business includes the expected value of future premium increases resulting from premium indexation
arrangements on in-force business. The VNB excludes premium increases during the current year resulting from premium indexation
arrangements in respect of in-force business, but includes the expected value of future premium increases in respect of new policies
written during the current financial year.
B. EXPECTED RETURN
The expected return is determined by applying the risk discount rate applicable at the beginning of the reporting year to the present
value of in-force covered business at the beginning of the reporting year. The expected return on new business is determined by
applying the current risk discount rate to the value of new business from the point of sale to the end of the year.

Notes
1. The mortality and morbidity variance has been impacted by additional deaths during the Covid-19 pandemic. This was offset to some extent by reinsurance
recoveries and a release from the Covid-19 provisions.
2. Largely driven by better than expected lapse experience on the Protection business and net positive contribution from alterations experience, in particular
with regards voluntary premium growth.
3. In line with premium changes for new business (and voluntary premium growth), the mortality basis for in-force business has also been adjusted.
The positive impact on the VIF relating to voluntary premium pricing partly offset the negative impact of mortality basis change on in-force business.
4. The annuity book of business experienced higher than expected mortality due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
5. Reprice of contracts, fee changes and drawdowns on living annuities.
6. The mortality and morbidity variance has been impacted by additional deaths during the Covid-19 pandemic. This was offset by a release from the Covid-19
provisions.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
7. The deterioration in persistency and alteration experience includes once-off operational impacts and deterioration observed in the lapse experience.
8. The ANW was positively impacted by morbidity experience on the PHI book as well as positive mortality experience on the CPI annuity and Group Risk book.
9. The VIF benefited mainly from better-than-expected termination experience on the Investments book.
10. Mainly relates to admin fees exceeding expectations.
11. The mortality and morbidity variance has been impacted by additional deaths during the Covid-19 pandemic. This was offset to some extent by a release
from the Covid-19 provisions.
12. ANW impact is mainly due to a lapse rule change in Lesotho (to lapse policies in arrears due to Covid-19) and lower lapse experience in Botswana. The
reduction in VIF is as a result of schemes being terminated in Lesotho as well as moving from higher to lower margin products.
F. DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES

The table below shows the impact on the EV (ANW, value of in-force and cost of required capital) and VNB (gross and net of the cost of
required capital) of a 1% change in the RDR. It also shows the impact of independent changes in a range of other experience assumptions.
The effect of an equivalent improvement in these experience assumptions would be to increase the base values by a percentage
approximately equal to the reductions shown below.

Trust, the amortisation of intangible assets arising from business combinations and B-BBEE costs. Additionally, the iSabelo special purpose
vehicle, which houses preference shares issued as part of the employee share ownership scheme's funding arrangement is deemed to be
external from the Group and the discount at which the iSabelo Trust acquired the MMH treasury shares is amortised over a period of 10 years
and recognised as a reduction to normalised headline earnings. The adjustment for the impact of treasury shares held by policyholder funds
removes mismatches that might arise from elimination of treasury shares (potential mismatches that are peculiar to financial institutions that
invest in their own securities on behalf of clients). Group normalised headline earnings are reported by segment and disclosed in note 2. For

ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In terms of the Company’s Memorandum of Incorporation, directors have unlimited borrowing powers (subject to section 45 of the Companies
Act); however, Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) approval is required for any borrowings within a life insurance company in the Group.
During July 2022, the Group, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Metropolitan International Holdings (Pty) Ltd (MIH), disposed of its entire
shareholding in Metropolitan Cannon Life Assurance Ltd and Metropolitan Cannon General Insurance Ltd. At 30 June 2022, this disposal did not
meet all the recognition criteria to be classified as held for sale in terms of IFRS 5 - Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations.
MMH has commenced a R750 million share buyback programme in August 2022 after receiving approval from the Prudential Authority (PA).
Share buybacks deliver considerable value accretion to shareholders while the share price continues to trade at a deep discount to embedded
value. They also represent an effective form of capital distribution in line with the Group’s capital management framework. Future share
buybacks will continue to be considered based on affordability.
On 25 August 2022, the Competition Commission released a media statement that it was conducting search and seizure operations at the
premises of eight insurance companies in South Africa, including Momentum, a division of MMH. In the statement, the Commission indicated
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
that it has reasonable grounds to suspect that the insurers under investigation have contravened the Competition Act by engaging in collusive
practices to fix prices and/or trading conditions in respect of fees for investment products and premiums for risk-related life products.
At the time of the approval of these financial statements, the directors have assessed that the scope of the Commission’s investigation
does not extend beyond the kinds of investment and risk-related life products reported in the Commission’s media statement. In addition,
the directors have concluded that the impact to MMH group entities would be unclear until such time as the Commission concludes its
investigation and decides formally to refer a case to the Competition Tribunal for adjudication. Accordingly, given the preliminary stage of the
Commission’s investigation, these financial statements do not make provision for the Commission’s allegations relating to contraventions of
the Competition Act to the extent that they remain subject to further investigation, assessment and determination.
Refer to note 34 for more details relating to these events. No other material events occurred between the reporting date and the date of
approval of these results.
The Audit Committee (the Committee) of Momentum Metropolitan Holdings Group (MMH/the Group) herewith presents its report for
the financial year ended 30 June 2022. The Group consists of Momentum Metropolitan Holdings Ltd (the Company) and its subsidiaries,
which includes the Momentum Metropolitan Life Group.
This was a year of change for the Committee, as two of our stalwart members, Fatima Daniels and Frans Truter, retired from the Board of
Momentum Metropolitan Holdings Ltd (the Board), and hence the Committee. Towards the end of the 2022 financial year the Nominations
Committee added Lisa Chuime and David Park to the Committee as members, with effect 1 July 2022. Lisa has been a permanent
attendee. Due to the unbundling of Rand Merchant Investment Holdings’ shareholding in MMH, she is now an independent director and
therefore meets the requirements of the Companies Act to serve as an audit committee member. David has also served on the MMH
Board for quite some time. He took over the chairmanship of the Board Risk, Capital and Compliance Committee and hence became a
permanent invitee to the Committee, which was subsequently changed to a member.
The Committee’s oversight responsibilities, delegated to the Committee by the Board include:
The Committee’s terms of reference, which are regularly reviewed and are available on our website, are aligned with the above legislation,
regulations and practices.
An overview of the Committee’s terms of reference, focus areas for the current year and 2023 objectives are included on pages 46 to 50 of
the Group’s 2022 Integrated Report. This report does not elaborate on the complete list of responsibilities of the Committee, as set out
in its terms of reference, but instead, focuses on the more pertinent matters and required assessments, sign offs and attestations by
the Committee.
A brief profile of the current members can be viewed on pages 36 to 38 of the 2022 Integrated Report and the Group’s website at
www.momentummetropolitan.co.za.
The Committee had five scheduled meetings during the year. An additional three meetings were held to consider information for purposes
of trading updates, with one other special meeting held to discuss the implementation of the joint audit requirement. Member attendance
is reflected on pages 36 to 38 of the 2022 Integrated Report, which is available on the Group’s website.
Key members of management as well as control functions such as Risk, Compliance, Internal Audit and External Audit attend meetings of
the Committee by invitation. Closed sessions for Committee members only, as well as with internal audit, external audit and management
are held on a regular basis.
GROUP REPORTS
During the current year, the Committee, in addition to its regular agenda as per its terms of reference, paid specific attention to the following:
• Continuously assessing the adequacy of Covid-19 related provisioning and valuations as well as the underlying methodology and
assumptions applied in doing this.
• Ongoing monitoring of the Group's readiness for the implementation of IFRS 17: Insurance Contracts, where notable progress has
been made.
• Further focus on the reviews and findings by Internal Audit mainly on the various businesses outside of South Africa, to oversee
corrective action.
• Commencing with actions to ensure the Group’s readiness to implement the joint audit requirement, once this becomes mandatory.
This also entailed a realignment of the various assurance providers in the Group.
CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As required by the JSE Listings Requirements, the Committee considered the appropriateness of financial reporting procedures and
whether these are operational in all entities in the Group, to effectively prepare and report on the financial statements. This oversight by the
Committee is supported by the combined assurance activities of the Group, as further explained below.
Furthermore, the Committee considered all related guidance and requirements issued by the JSE, including its 2021 Proactive Monitoring
Report and the impact thereof on the Group.
The Committee recommended the Group annual financial statements to the Board for approval.
Going concern
The Committee considered management’s assessment of the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern, including key
assumptions, forecasts, current and future liquidity, solvency and capital assessments and has made a recommendation to the Board
in accordance with this assessment. In doing this, the Committee specifically considered the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the
Group’s ongoing financial stability and sustainability. The Board's statement on the going concern status is included on page 1 of the AFS.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Committee considered and satisfied itself that Risto Ketola has the appropriate expertise and experience to fulfil the role of Group
Finance Director; that the finance function has adequate experience and expertise, and that the finance function has established
appropriate financial reporting procedures, which are operating effectively.
Integrated Report
The Committee reviewed the Group’s 2022 Integrated Report to satisfy itself as to the integrity thereof, including an appropriate and
consistent view of the Group's position and performance relative to operational and financial information known to the Committee. The
Integrated Report was recommended to the Board for approval.
The Committee has satisfied itself that, EY, with Cornea de Villiers as the designated auditor, satisfactorily fulfilled their responsibilities as
the external auditors and designated auditor, respectively, during the financial year.
External audit fees are disclosed on page 111 within note 26 to the AFS. All the non-audit services (disclosed on page 111, note 26 of the AFS)
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
provided by the external auditors were approved by the Committee in accordance with the policy for the provision of non-audit services.
Internal audit
Otsile Sehularo, Chief Audit Executive (CAE) oversees the Group Internal Audit function and the internal audit co-sourced relationship with
KPMG. The Committee annually assesses the performance of the CAE and Group Internal Audit and remains satisfied that the co-sourced
internal audit model with KPMG results in the appropriate independence of Group Internal Audit, provides access to subject matter
assurance expertise and has the authority to fulfil its duties as per its mandate, which is outlined in the internal audit charter. The charter
and the risk-based internal audit plan are reviewed annually and approved by the Committee. Progress in terms of the internal audit plan is
monitored by the Committee.
During the year the Committee approved the reappointment of KPMG as co-sourced internal auditors, effective 1 January 2023 for a
period of five years.
The Committee has carried out its responsibilities with the support of the Combined Assurance Forums that represent the various
operating structures within the Group. The Combined Assurance Forums report to the Committee every quarter.
As Chair of this Committee, I am a member of the Board’s Risk, Capital and Compliance Committee. The chair of the Risk, Capital and
Compliance Committee has been a permanent invitee, who became a member of this Committee, with effect from 1 July 2022. The
dual membership ensures that the Committee is appropriately made aware of material matters that may impact the Group’s financial
reporting procedures.
Details of the Group’s combined assurance framework and the results of the assurance work in 2022 is provided on page 30 of the
Integrated Report.
Through feedback from the quarterly Combined Assurance Forums, the Committee was able to assess that the review of the design,
implementation and effectiveness of the Group's internal controls, with specific focus on internal financial controls, was performed in all
material segments of the business. Based on the feedback from the Combined Assurance Forums, the annual self-assessments by the
management of the various businesses, the work done to support the CEO and FD conclusion and sign off on the financial controls to support
the accuracy of the financial statements, as well as the assurance provided by Group Internal Audit, the Committee concluded that internal
financial controls are effective and adequate to support the integrity of the preparation and presentation of the annual financial statements.
THE COMMITTEE’S RESPONSE TO KEY AUDIT MATTERS REPORTED BY THE EXTERNAL AUDITOR
Key audit matters (KAMs) are matters that, in the external auditor’s professional judgement, were of most significance in the audit of the
AFS for the current financial year.
GROUP REPORTS
The Committee has considered the appropriateness and consistency of the methodology applied, as well as the assumptions and
judgments made by management in order to determine the fair value of its property portfolio, investment in non-listed entities and credit
exposure in respect of lending activities. The Committee gave specific consideration to the judgements applied to take account of the
economic impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the property portfolio and credit exposure in respect of lending activities. To this end, in
compliance with the measurement requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards, the Committee was comfortable with
these valuations and that the related judgements in this regard are adequately considered and disclosed.
• Overseeing that the Group is ready to implement IFRS 17, for meaningful financial reporting.
• Monitoring that the Group is ready to implement the joint audit requirement, should this become mandatory - which will inadvertently
impact the construct of other assurance providers and services for which the Committee is responsible.
• Continued focus on developments in the regulatory environment to monitor that controls and processes are in place to ensure compliance.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires
management to exercise judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. There are areas of complexity involving
a higher degree of judgement and areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements. The

Normalised headline earnings adjust the JSE definition of headline earnings for the dilutive impact of finance costs related to
preference shares that can be converted into ordinary shares of the Group, the impact of treasury shares held by policyholder
funds and the iSabelo Trust, the amortisation of intangible assets arising from business combinations and B-BBEE costs.
Additionally, the iSabelo special purpose vehicle, which houses preference shares issued as part of the employee share ownership
scheme's funding arrangement is deemed to be external from the Group and the discount at which the iSabelo Trust acquired the
MMH treasury shares is amortised over a period of 10 years and recognised as a reduction to normalised headline earnings.

The current year impairment predominantly relates to Goodwill recognised as part of the acquisition of the Alexander Forbes Short-term Insurance business
(Non-life Insurance segment). The recoverable amount (R2 002 million) of the cash-generating unit (Momentum Insure) is determined based on value-in-use
calculations with reference to DVs. The impairment is due to a revision of the 5-year forecast that reflects a more subdued medium-term growth outlook.
The remaining goodwill balance after the impairment is R478 million. Refer to note 3.6 for further details on the sensitivity of this impairment amount.
The recoverable value of these CGUs is determined based on value-in-use calculations with reference to directors' valuations. The
value-in-use calculations use risk-adjusted cash flow projections, which include projected new business based on financial forecasts
approved by management covering a five-year period. These cash flow projections take account of entity specific risks and are
subject to a revenue ceiling and an expense floor to ensure that the earnings projections lie within boundaries that are deemed
appropriate. The financial forecasts are informed by past experience as well management's best estimate of the future. Appropriate
allowance is also made for terminations risk where a CGU has concentrated exposure to large clients.
At the end of the defined projection period, a terminal value is determined based on an assumption of inflationary growth following
the five years.
The other assumption that is subject to judgement is the determination of an appropriate discount rate. The approach to setting the
discount rate is to reference the yield on long-dated government bonds and add an equity risk premium plus an additional margin for
entity-specific risk. The assessment of the risk discount rate (RDR) takes into account the risk adjustments already made in the cash
flow projection.
The central RDR assumption for most of the strategic subsidiaries resident in South Africa has been derived as follows:
2022 2021
Risk-free rate (long-term) 12.0% 10.5%
Equity risk premium 3.5% 3.5%
Risk premium applied to unlisted equity investments 2.3% 2.3%
Total (central rate) 17.8% 16.3%
The long-term risk-free rate is set with reference to the 10 year RSA government bond yield.
For CGUs where the range of possible outcomes remains wide, the RDR is adjusted to allow for the risk characteristics of the entity
under consideration. For entities with risk characteristics above the norm, additions of 2% – 4% to the central rate are made, based on
the maturity of the CGU under consideration, as well as the perceived degree of certainty in the cash flow projections.

inclusion of limits to revenue and margin growth have relatively less uncertainty associated with their cash flows. As such, the
central rate is deemed appropriate.
The discount rate for the ex-Metropolitan Group is based on run-off of in-force insurance liabilities and thus its valuation employed
a lower RDR, in line with the discount rate used for “covered business” in the Group EV calculation.

As a result of certain insurance contract acquisitions, the Group carries intangible assets representing the VIF acquired.
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
VOBA is reviewed for impairment through a discounted cash flow (DCF) valuation. This valuation method references the results of
the EV calculations for the relevant products. This methodology uses a number of assumptions relating to future cash flows which is
aligned to the Group’s valuation data and models and these are all subjected to the Group’s governance structures and review.
VOBA relating to the Sage acquisition (Shareholders) had a reversal of prior year impairments of R10 million (2021: impairment of
R144 million) by comparing the carrying amount with the recoverable amount. The current year's reversal of impairment is due to
positive investment experience on the Sage products. Value in use was used to calculate the recoverable amount by incorporating
valuation assumptions and economic bases of the Sage product liabilities, including a RDR of 14.36% (2021: 12.8%). Refer to note 11
for additional information regarding contract holder liabilities – assumptions and estimates. The Sage book of business is in run-off
and depending on the rate of run-off impacting on the VIF relative to the amortisation of the carrying value future consideration of
impairment might be required. Refer to note 3.6 for further details on the sensitivity of this impairment amount.

and has 37% (2021: 36%) headroom available before the Group would need to consider impairing any of the associated goodwill.
The combination of the net asset value and the intangible assets recognised on the acquisition of Alexander Forbes Short-term
Insurance business (Non-life Insurance segment), which was subsequently renamed to Momentum Insurance and thereafter
integrated into Momentum Insure from 1 July 2021 is currently below the recoverable amount with nil (2021: nil) headroom
available. The recoverable amount (R2 002 million) of the cash-generating unit (Momentum Insure) is determined based on value-
in-use calculations with reference to DVs. The goodwill recognised as part of the acquisition was impaired during the current year
by R707 million. The impairment is due to a revision of the 5-year forecast that reflects a more subdued medium-term growth
outlook. The remaining goodwill balance after the impairment is R478 million (2021: R1 186 million) which may be subject to
further impairment should the medium-term outlook not be achieved.
Following the acquisition of Guardrisk, the Group currently recognises goodwill, VOBA, customer relationships and brands on the
statement of financial position. The current recoverable amount of these assets is currently R1 800 million (2021: R1 372 million)
higher than the carrying value and has 40% (2021: 34%) headroom available before the Group would need to consider impairing
any of the associated goodwill. Future revenue and expenses included in the risk-adjusted cashflow projections will need to
decrease by 20% and increase by 35% respectively in order for the recoverable amount to equate to the carrying amount.
During the current year, the VOBA relating to Sage decreased due to amortisation charges to its recoverable amount of
R286 million (2021: R303 million). Any further reduction in the recoverable amount will result in an additional impairment.
The acquisition of Seneca during the prior year included the recognition of goodwill, customer relationships and broker networks
by the Group. Following the acquisition, the Seneca business has been fully integrated into Momentum Global Investment
Management. As such, Seneca is no longer individually assessed for the purposes of impairment testing, but rather forms part
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
of the Momentum Global Investment Management CGU. The current recoverable amount of these assets is currently R63 million
(2021: R25 million) higher than the carrying value and has 9% (2021: 3%) headroom available before the Group would need to
consider impairing any of the associated goodwill. Future revenue and expenses included in the risk-adjusted cashflow projections
will need to decrease by 2% and increase by 3% respectively in order for the recoverable amount to equate to the carrying amount.
In aggregate, if the recoverable amounts of all the CGUs under consideration were to decrease by 10%, it would result in an
impairment of intangible assets of R192 million (2021: R319 million). Should the recoverable amounts decrease by 20%, an
impairment of R510 million (2021: R749 million) will be required, with R326 million (2021: R528 million) of this relating to the
Momentum Insure goodwill, R85 million (2021: R129 million) relating to Momentum Global Investment Management goodwill,
R70 million (2021: R9 million) relating to Momentum Health Solution goodwill and R29 million (2021: R61 million) relating to the
VOBA from Momentum Namibia.
In the current year, the computer software impairment relates to internally developed software held by Momentum Metropolitan
Life Ltd (Shareholders segment). The impairment is due to the impaired post-merger JDE consolidation project costs which were
incurred to merge multiple ledgers. The business has moved significantly beyond a residual benefit of this particular project. In the
prior year, the impairment reversal related to computer software held by Metropolitan International Support (Momentum Metropolitan
Africa segment). A sales agreement was entered into for the software which caused the recoverable amount, which is based on the
purchase price, to increase to R36 million. The software has been sold during the current year.
Momentum Multiply (Momentum Life segment) has computer software of R41 million (2021: R51 million) relating to the wellness
and rewards platform which will be fully amortised by 2028. No impairment was required.
Guardrisk (Non-life Insurance segment) has computer software of R18 million (2021: R28 million) relating to cell captive and
product administration systems which will be fully amortised by 2024. For valuation purposes a RDR of 18% (2021: 16%) and
a growth rate of 6% (2021: 6%) was used. No impairment was required.

In the prior year, borrowing costs of R18 million were capitalised, no borrowing costs were capitalised in the current year. The
borrowing costs related to the Marc, Tower 2 and a capitalisation rate equal to the interest rate on the loan of 3 month Jibar plus
2.1 points were used.
The revaluation decrease mainly relates to Centurion Head office revaluation loss of R152 million (Shareholder segment) due to
decline in market rental rates per square meter.
The net impairment in the current and prior year mainly related to the impairment of the Marc, Tower 2 of R51 million (2021: R77 million)
(Shareholders segment). The impairment can largely be attributed to the decline in market rental rates for office property in Sandton in
recent years, as well as considering the weak property market outlook as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. The valuation further took
the expected vacancy into account.
A register of owner-occupied properties is available for inspection at the Company’s registered office.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
All properties are valued using a DCF method or the income capitalisation approach based on the aggregate contractual or market-
related rent receivable less associated costs. The DCF takes projected cash flows and discounts them at a rate that is consistent
with comparable market transactions. Increases in the carrying amount arising on revaluation of owner-occupied buildings are
credited to a land and building revaluation reserve in other comprehensive income, except to the extent that the increase reverses a
revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognised in profit or loss, in which case the increase shall be recognised in profit
or loss. Decreases that offset previous increases in respect of the same asset are charged against the revaluation reserve, and all
other decreases are charged to the income statement. All owner-occupied properties were valued by internal valuers at the end of the
current year. At the end of the prior year, the properties were valued by external valuers. Valuations are performed semi-annually.

Information previously presented on an aggregated basis has now been disaggregated for comparability.
In determining the property values regard was had for the fact that, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, market activity was being
impacted in many sectors. Due to Covid-19, a conservative take up of the vacant space has been assumed, likewise a conservative
view has been taken on probable market rentals. Market rental growth has been adjusted downward from an industry average of
5% to 4 – 4.5% (2021: 3 – 4%).

Critical accounting estimates and judgements continued
The valuation input is focused on "headline" assumptions including capital and discount rates however the underlying cashflow
is based on contractual arrangements where applicable and appropriate market norms. Each valuation is carried out in isolation,
and tested in each individual case by looking at factors including current tenant retention, potential market rentals and potential
of increased long-term vacancies as well as necessary changes in the capitalisation and discount rates. The valuers carried out
extensive market research and also collaborated with the their professional peers.

Capitalisation and discount rates are based on a number of factors, including but not limited to the following: market transactions,
the current risk-free rate, the risk associated with the income stream flowing from the property, the real estate cycle, current
economic conditions at both the micro- and macro-economic level and the yield that an investor would require in order to make
the property an attractive investment.
The Covid-19 pandemic has affected various property market sectors and the related valuation inputs and assumptions are
as follows:
Office sector – higher vacancies (due to tenant fall-off as well as downsizing) has been experienced. Based on South African
Property Owners Association statistics the office market was already experiencing an oversupply of office space and this
increased during the past 18 months. The oversupply and decrease in demand has led to downwards asking (and achieved)
rentals which inevitably led to yield compression and associated valuations.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Retail sector – rural retail had a strong year-on-year performance and is continuing to perform well. Urban retail experienced some
lease fall-off but this was mostly attributable to tenants who were already experiencing difficulties prior to Covid-19. The ability to
re-let may have been a bit slow in 2020 but this has improved greatly in 2021/2022. Capitalisation rates and discount rates have
remained stable due to locational performance and rentals achieved.
Industrial – The industrial sector is still a strong performer with distribution centres, large warehousing and multi-parks showing the
strongest total return by property type across all sectors. This resulted in more robust market rentals and a steady vacancy rate.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Refer to note 48.7, 48.8 and 48.9 for the accounting policies relating to this note.
The Group classifies its financial assets into the following categories:
• Financial assets at FVPL
• Financial assets at amortised cost
The classification is based on contractual cash flows characteristics and models through which financial instruments are
managed (business model). Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.
Above classification is not applied to insurance and other receivables as classification is dependent on the nature of the risk transferred.
Critical judgements and estimates
Management applies judgement to the valuation of certain level 2 and level 3 financial assets, which include the Group’s venture
capital investments, where the market is inactive. Refer to note 44 for more information.
The assessment of significant increase in credit risk to calculate the expected credit loss for assets carried at amortised cost is
performed by determining the risk of default over the expected lifetime of an instrument. Management applies judgement to the
probability of default and loss given default. Refer to note 7.6 for more information.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As part of its asset and liability management, the Group purchases derivative financial instruments to reduce the exposure of
policyholder and shareholder assets to market risks and to match the liabilities arising on insurance contracts.
Under no circumstances are derivative contracts entered into for speculative purposes.
The following table shows the fair value of derivative financial instruments recorded as assets or liabilities, together with their
effective exposure. Effective exposure is the exposure of a derivative financial contract or instrument to the underlying asset by
also taking delta (the ratio comparing the change in the price of the underlying asset to the corresponding change in the price of
a derivative) into account, where applicable.
The mark-to-market value of a derivative does not give an indication of the effective exposure of portfolios to changes in market
values of that derivative position. The effective exposure of a derivative position reflects the equivalent amount of the underlying
security that would provide the same profit or loss as the derivative position, given an incremental change in the price of the
underlying security. A derivative position is translated into the equivalent physical holding, or its market value, which provides
a meaningful measure in respect of asset allocation. For example:

ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
At their inception, derivatives often involve only a mutual exchange of promises with little or no transfer of consideration. However,
these instruments frequently involve a high degree of leverage and are very volatile. A relatively small movement in the value of the
asset, rate or index underlying a derivative contract may have a significant impact on the profit or loss of the Group.
Over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives may expose the Group to the risks associated with the absence of an exchange market on
which to close out an open position.
The Group’s exposure under derivative contracts is closely monitored as part of the overall management of the Group’s market risk.

Unsettled trades result from transactions that Portfolios Managers enter into on behalf of the various subsidiaries in the Group in
accordance with discretionary portfolio management agreements. The Group’s accounting policy is to recognise purchases and
sales of financial assets on the trade date, ie the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the financial asset. All trade
transactions that the Group enters into before the last day of the reporting period, ie 30 June, but where the settlement will only
occur after the reporting period, are reported as unsettled trades. This is applied to both purchases and sales across all entities in the
Group. As a result of the nature of these type of transactions, the unsettled trades balances can fluctuate significantly year-on-year.

In the prior year, an impairment was raised in respect of promissory notes held, determined based on 14% of the gross carrying amount. As a result of partial
redemptions in the current year, the expected credit loss provision represents 22% of the gross carrying amount as at 31 June 2022. Given significant uncertainty
arising from a lack of counterparty information, there is potential for further downside risk to transpire in future. An increase of the impairment to 30% of the gross
carrying amount will result in an additional impairment of R11 million (2021: R14 million).

GROUP REPORTS
7.5 Financial assets measurement continued
Business model assessment
The Group’s financial asset classification is determined based on the contractual cash flows characteristics and models through
which financial instruments are managed (business model). The Group has a number of subsidiaries which range from life companies,
non-life companies and CISs which are consolidated. The level at which the business model assessment is done is determined by
Group and is on a portfolio level.
CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Debt securities and funds on deposit and other money market instruments that back policyholder liabilities are designated at
FVPL to eliminate or reduce accounting mismatch.
• Certain policyholder fixed income assets follow an enhanced immunisation strategy which implies that while the inherent risk
is well managed the cash flows would not be strictly matched. The strategy therefore involves buying and selling securities to
keep the risks within risk limits and to meet contractual liability flows.
• Other policyholder fixed income assets are managed in accordance with an Investment Management Agreement (IMA) that
does not allow fund managers to enter into activities which are deemed to be speculative or profit-taking in nature. These
fixed income instruments are purchased with the intent of achieving stated investment return objectives through capital
return and interest income. Portfolio managers sell these assets from time to time to honor contractual liabilities or to
manage inherent market risk factors.
Other companies
The rest of the Group’s operating activities include non-life, health and asset management services. The business model
ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Consolidated CISs
A number of CISs are consolidated into the Group. Refer to note 42 for a list of significant schemes. The majority of these
funds are held with an objective of capital growth. For those funds not held for capital growth, a look-through basis is applied to
determine the business model. The majority of the underlying assets are sold before maturity and the fund’s performance and
management fee is based on the fair value of the underlying assets and therefore have been classified mandatorily at FVPL.
Impairment
The impairment of financial assets is based on assumptions about risk of default and expected loss rates, which include the
estimation of future cash flows and the significant increase in credit risk. The Group uses judgement in making these assumptions
and selecting inputs to the impairment calculations, based on the Group’s history, existing market conditions, as well as forward-
looking estimates at the end of each reporting period. Refer to note 7.2 for more detail.

ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As a result of partial redemptions in the current year, the expected credit loss provision represents 22% of the gross carrying amount as at 30 June 2022.
2
The gross carrying amount for other loans (stage 1) has increased by R333 million in the current year, while the associated expected credit loss decreased by
R8 million. The decrease in expected credit loss (R8 million) is driven by a corresponding decrease in the gross carrying amount (R66 million). The remaining
increase in the gross carrying amount is not accompanied by a correlated increase in the expected credit loss balance, as the majority of the increase in the
gross carrying amount relates to instruments for which the expected credit loss is considered to be immaterial.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Unsettled trades, accounts receivable, To determine a significant change in credit risk both historical data and forward
due from agents, broker and looking information is taken into account. This includes existing or expected adverse
intermediaries and loans changes in business, financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a
significant change in the borrower’s ability to meet its debt obligations, a breach of
contract, significant changes in the value of any collateral supporting the obligation
and reductions in financial support from a parent entity.
Debt securities and funds on deposit Significant increase in credit risk means that the credit rating of the instrument has
and other money market instruments dropped by two ratings.
Unsettled trades and accounts Impairment of accounts receivable is based on the recoverability of balances grouped
receivable together based on shared credit risk characteristics, eg instrument type. Balances
generally relate to amounts where the timing of settlement is within one month.
Historic payments as well as forward looking information is also taken into account.
Debt securities and funds on deposit The expected credit loss is calculated using information extracted from the reports
and other money market instruments published by the rating agencies annually.
Loans For related party loans the solvency of the counterparty is taken into account as well as
any collateral held.
Due from agents, brokers and Impairment of amounts due from agents, brokers and intermediaries is mainly due to
intermediaries intermediaries moving to out-of-service status and unproductive agent accounts.
Sensitivities
Accounts receivable and due from As most of the balances in stage 1 are short-term in nature and majority of the
agents brokers and intermediaries balance in stage 3 has been provided for, the impairment amount for stages 1 and 3
are not considered to be sensitive to changes in the forward looking information.
A deterioration of the forward looking information for balances in stage 2 is also not
expected to be material as the gross amounts are not material.
Debt securities and funds on deposit Considered to have low credit risk and therefore the expected credit loss is not
and other money market instruments considered to be sensitive.
Loans Most of the loan balances outstanding are considered to have low credit risk as the
borrower has a strong capacity to meet its obligations and has a low risk of default.
The expected credit loss is therefore not considered to be sensitive to changes in
forward looking information.

For the IFRS 7 disclosures relating to investment contracts, refer to note 12.4.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The actuarial value of policyholder liabilities arising from long-term insurance contracts is determined using the FSV method as
described in the actuarial guidance note SAP 104 of ASSA – Calculation of the value of the assets, liabilities and solvency capital
requirement of long-term insurers. The valuation of contract holder liabilities is a function of methodology and assumptions. The
methodology is described in the accounting policies in note 48.10.
The liabilities at 30 June 2022 would have been R6 854 million (2021: R8 901 million) lower for the Group without the discretionary
margins. This impact is shown gross of transfer tax.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Mortality
• Individual smoothed bonus and non-profit business: Mortality assumptions are based on internal investigations into mortality
experience. These are monitored annually, more recent experience that includes the impact of Covid-19 has been excluded when
setting long-term assumptions.
• Conventional with-profit business (excluding home service funeral business): Regular mortality investigations are carried out, with the
most recent investigations being in respect of the period ended June 2020 for MML retail businesses.
• Home service business: Mortality assumptions are based on internal investigations into mortality experience, with the most recent
investigation being for the period 2011 to 2016 for Metropolitan Life business.
• Annuity business: Mortality assumptions for Metropolitan Life annuity business are based on internal experience investigations. The
Momentum Investments annuitant mortality basis is derived from the RMV 92, RFV 92 and 2002 South African Annuitant standard
mortality tables, adjusted for experience. Mortality assumptions for employee benefits contracts within the Momentum Corporate
segment are based on the 2002 South African Annuitant mortality tables adjusted for experience. The most recent investigation was
in respect of the period to December 2020. An explicit allowance is made for mortality improvements.
Morbidity
• Internal morbidity and accident investigations on retail contracts are done regularly, the most recent being in respect of the period
ended June 2020 for Momentum Life. For Metropolitan Life exposure is extremely low and morbidity rates are derived through
collaboration with reinsurers.
• For individual Permanent Health Insurance business, disability claim recovery probabilities are based on recovery rates provided
by reinsurers.
• For benefits under employee benefit contracts within the Momentum Corporate segment, disability claim recovery probabilities
are modelled using the Group Long-term Disability Table (GLTD) developed in the United States of America. The table details
recovery rates for given ages, elimination periods and durations since disability. These recovery rates are then adjusted for the
Group’s own experience. The most recent investigation was in respect of the period ended December 2020.
Persistency
• Lapse and surrender assumptions are based on past experience. When appropriate, account is also taken of expected future
trends (including the effect of expected premium reviews).
• Lapse investigations are performed at least annually for MML retail business, the most recent being in respect of the
period ended December 2021 for Metropolitan Life business and June 2021 for Momentum Life and Investments business
(December 2021 for protection business).
• Surrender investigations are performed at least annually for MML retail business, the most recent being in respect of the period
ended February 2022 for Metropolitan Life business and June 2021 for Momentum Life and Investments business (December
2021 for protection business).
• Experience is analysed by product type as well as policy duration, distribution channel and smoker status.
Expenses
Expenses are allocated into three major categories, namely new business, maintenance and development and project expenses.
Expenses are allocated into these categories, as well as per segment and product, using a variety of methods. These methods
include direct allocations according to function and/or operational structure, functional cost analyses as well as pre-defined cost
allocation models.
• Provision for future renewal expenses starts at a level consistent with the budgeted expense for the 2023 financial year and
allows for escalation at the assumed expense inflation rate.
• Asset management expenses are expressed as an annual percentage of assets under management.
GROUP REPORTS
Investment returns and inflation
• Market-related information is used to derive assumptions in respect of investment returns, discount rates used in calculating
contract holder liabilities and renewal expense inflation.
• These assumptions take into account the notional long-term asset mix backing each liability type and are suitably adjusted for tax
and investment expenses.
• Yields of appropriate duration from an appropriate market-related yield curve as at the valuation date are used to discount expected
cash flows at each duration. The yield curve used is based on fixed or CPI-linked risk-free securities and, depending on the nature of
the corresponding liability, adjusted for credit and liquidity spreads of the assets actually held in the underlying portfolio.
• Investment returns for other asset classes are set as follows:
– Equity rate: gilt rate +3.5% (2021: +3.5%)
– Property rate: gilt rate +1.0% (2021: +1.0%)
– Corporate bonds: gilt rate +0.5% (2021: +0.5%)
– Cash rate: gilt rate -1.0% (2021: -1.0%)
• An inflation rate of 5% p.a. (2021: 5% p.a) for ZAR-denominated business is used to project future renewal expenses over the

planning horizon (three years) whereafter the inflation rate is derived from market inputs as the difference between nominal
and real yields across the term structure of these curves. The 7.7% (2021: 6.5%) in the table below represents the 10-year point
of the yield curves. An addition to the expense inflation is allowed for in some divisions to reflect the impact of closed books
that are in run-off.
• The main best-estimate investment assumptions, gross of tax, used in the valuation are:
2022 2021
RDR 14.4% 12.8%
Gilt rate – risk-free investment return 12.0% 10.4%
Assumed investment return for individual smoothed bonus business 14.2% 12.6%
Renewal expense inflation rate 7.7% 6.5%
Future bonuses
• Contract holders’ reasonable benefit expectations are allowed for by assuming bonus rates supported by the market value of
ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For smoothed bonus business, where bonus stabilisation accounts (BSAs) are negative, liabilities are reduced by an amount
that can reasonably be expected to be recovered through under-distribution of bonuses during the ensuing three years.
These amounts are determined by projecting BSAs three years into the future using assumed investment returns as per the
valuation basis, net of applicable taxes and charges, as well as assumed bonus rates that are lower than those supported by
the assumed investment return but nevertheless consistent with the bonus philosophies of the relevant funds. The assumed
bonus rates are communicated to, and accepted by, both management and the respective boards of directors.
• For conventional with-profit business, all future bonuses are provided for at bonus rates supported by the market value of
the underlying assets and the assumed future investment return. Any resulting reduction in future bonus rates used in the
valuation assumptions, relative to those most recently declared, is communicated to, and accepted by, both management and
the respective boards of directors at each annual bonus declaration.
The following table discloses specific points on the zero coupon yield curve used in the projection of the assets as at 30 June:

Tax
• Future tax on investment returns is allowed for, according to current five-fund tax legislation, by appropriately reducing the
gross valuation interest rate expected to be earned in the future on the various books of business.
• A long-term assumption is made for assumed future tax relief on expenses, based on past experience and expected future trends.
• No value has been attributed to any assessed losses in the contract holder tax funds.
The expected impact of the pandemic has led to changes in the applicable mortality assumptions for F2023 that are used in
the valuation basis of the life insurance operations of the Group. Morbidity and terminations assumptions were left unchanged.
The impact of claims on non-life insurance business in Guardrisk has also been considered.
Taking into account the observed progression of the pandemic, and the prevailing uncertainty regarding its future course, it
was decided to allow for a series of mild Covid-19 waves over the next two years (or limited to the contract boundary of the
business if shorter). The assumed severity of the projected waves was based on the most recent waves as experienced over
the previous six months by each segment.
The resultant mortality assumptions thus differ between segments. As trends in Covid-related claims experience and policyholder
behaviour continue to evolve, the Group will continue to evaluate and assess the assumptions used in the valuation basis.
GROUP REPORTS
Provisions for Covid-19 continued
The Covid-19 provision was increased during the current year by the net of tax amount of R107 million (2021: 2 305 million
increase), while existing provisions of R1 763 million (2021: R1 193 million) were released. The overall net impact is an increase
in the Group’s normalised headline earnings for the year of R1 656 million (2021: R1 046 million decrease). This led to the total
embedded value increasing by R1 656 million (2021: R648 million reduction).

Where pricing assumptions were adjusted in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, the assumptions used in the valuation of
contract holder liabilities were adjusted as required to reflect a best-estimate view of the future and prevent the premature
recognition of profit.
The overall exposure relating to Covid-19 for Momentum Insure business interruption claims as accounted for at the end of
June 2021 (approx. R38 million) remained unchanged with corresponding movement from IBNR to OCR and paid levels during
the financial year.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
• Basis and other changes decreased the excess of assets over liabilities at 30 June 2022 by R647 million (2021: R2 470 million)
for the Group. The major contributors to this change were as follows:
– Actuarial methodology changes and corrections (other changes) - positive R869 million (2021: positive R185 million).
Methodology changes consist mainly of reserve release as a result of a number of modelling improvements and
refinements as well as a net positive impact from a number of parameter and assumption updates.
– Experience basis changes - negative R174 million (2021: negative R2 609 million). The experience basis changes are in
respect of withdrawal, expense and mortality assumptions. A significant portion of the current year changes relates to the
alignment of Protection business lapse rates with the pricing assumptions, offset by a release of the Covid-19 provision and
a positive change in respect of future expense assumptions.
– Economic assumption changes - negative R47 million (2021: negative R46 million). The economic assumption changes
are in respect of future investment returns, bonus and inflation assumptions as well as the difference between actual and
expected investment returns on non-profit business.
Sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity of the value of contract holder liabilities to movement in the assumptions is shown in the table below. In each
instance, the specified assumption changes while all the other assumptions remain constant.
The numbers in the table demonstrate the impact on liabilities if experience deviates from best-estimate assumptions by the
specified amount in all future years.

The impact of the reduction in the assumed investment return includes the consequent change in projected bonus rates, discount
rates and the assumed level of renewal expense inflation.
GROUP REPORTS
Sensitivity analysis continued
The sensitivities were chosen because they represent the main assumptions regarding future experience that the Group employs
in determining its insurance liabilities. The magnitudes of the variances were chosen to be consistent with the sensitivities shown
in the Group’s published EV report and also to facilitate comparisons with similar sensitivities published by other insurance
companies in South Africa.
It is not uncommon to experience one or more of the stated deviations in any given year. There might be some correlation
between sensitivities; for instance, changes in investment returns are normally correlated with changes in discontinuance rates.
The table on the previous page shows the impact of each sensitivity in isolation, without taking into account possible correlations.
The table does not show the financial impact of variances in lump sum mortality and morbidity claims in respect of employee
benefits business because of the annually renewable nature of this class of insurance. An indication of the sensitivity of financial
results to mortality and morbidity variances in this class of business can be obtained by noting that a 5% (2021: 5%) increase
in mortality and morbidity lump sum benefits paid on employee benefits business in any given year will result in a reduction of
R164 million (2021: R198 million) in the before-tax earnings of the Group.
CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
It should be pointed out that the table shows only the sensitivity of liabilities to changes in valuation assumptions. It does not fully
reflect the impact of the stated variances on the Group’s financial position. In many instances, changes in the fair value of assets
will accompany changes in liabilities. An example of this is the annuity portfolio, where assets and liabilities are closely matched.
A change in annuitant liabilities following a change in long-term interest rates will be countered by an almost equal change in the
value of assets backing these liabilities, resulting in a relatively modest overall change in net asset value.

ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
On 29 January 2020, MMSI issued 1 000 Class B cumulative redeemable preference shares at R1 million per share to FirstRand
Bank Ltd. The declaration of preference dividends is calculated at 72% of three-month JIBAR plus 200 basis points with a
redemption date of 28 January 2025. Dividends are payable on 31 March and 30 September of each year. The issuer has an option
to redeem the preference shares on any dividend payment date. (cash flow interest rate risk)
On 28 April 2020, MMSI issued 300 cumulative redeemable preference shares at R1 million per share to Sanlam Alternative
Income Fund. The declaration of preference dividends is calculated at 72% of three-month JIBAR plus 165 basis points with a
redemption date of 28 April 2023. Dividends are payable on 31 March and 30 September of each year. The issuer has an option to
redeem the preference shares. (cash flow interest rate risk)
The current redemption date of the A3 preference shares is 30 November 2022 (after extending it by 5 months in the current year).
In the prior year the redemption date was also extended by 18 months to be redeemed on 30 June 2022. The extension in the
current and prior year did not constitute a significant modification, the extinguishment of the liability or result in the recognition of
a new liability and have therefore been accounted for as a change in the expected future cash flows. The change in the expected
cash flows resulted in a R6 million loss recognised in profit or loss in the current year (2021: R8 million gain). In addition, the
change in the expected cash flows before and after the extension resulted in an IFRS 2 – Share-based payment B-BBEE expense
of R11 million being recognised in the current year (2021: R25 million). (no interest rate risk)

A large part of the term loans are subject to variable interest rates and as such the carrying value approximates fair value. For term loans subject to fixed
rates of interest, the carrying value does not materially differ from the fair value as the loans do not have significant term to maturity.

GROUP REPORTS
Creation of deferred tax assets and recognition of deferred tax liabilities
Deferred tax assets are raised for tax losses where their recoverability thereof was probable at year end. The deferred tax asset is
generally raised to the extent it will be utilised within 3 – 5 years. Remaining balances are not recognised.
Included in the deferred tax asset of R816 million (2021: R1 003 million) raised due to tax losses, is a deferred tax asset of R151 million
(2021: R21 million), the utilisation of which depends on future taxable profits in excess of the profits arising from the reversal of existing
taxable temporary differences, and the subsidiary has suffered a loss in either the current or preceding year. Based on approved budgets
prepared by management of these subsidiaries, the Group considers it probable that the deferred tax asset will be used against future
taxable profits.
The deferred tax asset recognised by the Group relates mainly to historic trading losses brought forward in Guardrisk Life Ltd's Individual
Policyholder Fund (IPF) and Momentum Insurance (Pty) Ltd. Management considers it probable that the tax asset will be used against
future taxable profits within a five-year projection period.
Potential tax benefits due to unused tax losses will expire should an entity cease to trade. Deferred tax assets have not been recognised
in this respect. Included in the potential tax benefit is R104 million attributable to Metropolitan Life International Limited, which ceased
trading during the last 12 months. This tax benefit is expected to expire by 30 June 2023.
No deferred tax liability is recognised on temporary differences of R1 925 million (2021: R1 486 million) relating to the unremitted
CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
earnings of international subsidiaries as the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of these temporary differences and it is
probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
During his budget speech on the 23rd of February 2022, the Minister of Finance announced a decrease in the corporate income
tax rate from 28% to 27% for the years of assessment ending on or after 31 March 2023. IAS 12 requires that deferred tax assets
and liabilities be measured at the tax rate applicable when the assets are realised or liabilities are settled, based on the tax rates
that are enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. It is expected that the 2022 Draft Rates and Monetary
Amounts and Amendments of Revenue Laws Bill will be promulgated and therefore the rate change is regarded as substantively
enacted. The deferred tax balances as at 30 June 2022 have been redetermined based on a rate of 27%.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
deferred tax assets are based, have been updated to consider the recovery post the Covid-19 pandemic. All business across the
Group reviewed their bottom-up forecasted cash flows to account for the potential impact of the pandemic on its assumptions
including revenue growth, claims experience, expenses, lapse rates inter alia.

Employee benefit expenses are included in the income statement. Refer to note 24.
Valuation methodology
Liabilities for qualifying employees and current retirees are taken as the actuarial present value of all future medical
contribution subsidies, using the long-term valuation assumptions. The current medical scheme contribution rates are
projected into the future using the long-term healthcare inflation rate, while the value of the portion subsidised by the employer
after retirement is discounted back to the valuation date using the valuation rate of interest. The projected unit credit method is
used to calculate the liabilities.

MMH share schemes
Subsequent to the merger, the Group started share schemes linked to MMH shares.
Retention units
The retention units have no imposed performance criteria and therefore vest on award date subject to the employee
maintaining satisfactory performance during the period between the award date and the settlement date.
Performance units
CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The performance units have performance criteria based on minimum hurdles related to the return on EV of the Group. The
units will therefore vest after a period of three years, and the Group’s performance will be averaged over the same period to
determine whether the criteria have been met.
When the retention units, performance units and deferred bonus units have vested on the vesting date, they represent the
right to receive a cash sum on the settlement date equal to the fair market price of a MMH share (average of 20 trading days
before the settlement date).
ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
payment to the employee to the value of the share price on vesting date. No shares are issued by the Group and therefore
the scheme is cash-settled.
The volatility used in the valuation of the SAR scheme was based on market rates and determined to be 30%. The risk free rate
used within the valuations was 4.99%.

A3 Preference shares
The Company issued A3 preference shares to Off The Shelf Investments 108 (Pty) Ltd (a subsidiary of KTH) in 2011.
In 2019, the Company subscribed for a cumulative, redeemable preference share in Off The Shelf Investments 108 (Pty) Ltd which is
linked to the A3 preference shares acquired in 2011. The dividends on the Off The Shelf Investments preference share aligns the A3
preference shares dividend to the ordinary dividends.
The redemption date was extended by 5 months to 30 November 2022 in the current year. In the prior year, the redemption date was
extended by 18 months to 30 June 2022. As a result of this, an IFRS 2 – Share-based payment B-BBEE expense of R10 million (2021:
R25 million) was recognised.

iSabelo Trust
To achieve our long-term strategic business objectives and to strengthen our B-BBEE ownership, Momentum Metropolitan has
made available an Employee Share Ownership Plan to its employees. iSabelo is structured to benefit all permanent employed
South African based employees to promote inclusivity.
Units were granted to all permanent Momentum Metropolitan employees based in South Africa who were employed by the Group
as at 28 February 2021. The units were granted to these eligible employees during April 2021.
These units are allocated on a deferred delivery basis over a seven-year period. All units need to be held for an initial period of
10 years (lock in period) before they can be redeemed for Momentum Metropolitan shares. At the end of the lock in period, the
iSabelo Trust will exchange the units for MMH shares.
Employees will retain the proportional vesting of units for the portion of the seven years they were employed by Momentum
Metropilitan, however if they leave within the first year of the scheme they will forfeit their entire allocation. Units will be granted
annually to new permanent South African based employees of the Group who have joined between the period of 1 March 2021
to 30 April 2026, under the same terms as above. No further units will be allocated to any new employees after April 2026. Units
were granted to new employees on 28 April 2022.
CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The fair value used in determining the allocation is based on the unit price on grant date, adjusted for various variables. Refer to
note 45 for more details regarding the valuation assumptions. The total unit allocation costs relating to the current period for the
iSabelo Trust amounting to R42 million (2021: R23 million) (refer to note 24) has been included in the income statement. As at
30 June 2022, the total value of the units was R264 million (2021:R400 million). There were no modifications to the scheme in
the current period.
The valuation model used to determine the grant date fair value at June 2021 has been refined during F2022.
The following refinements were incorporated:
• Refined the share price projection to reference the risk-free rate (ie a risk-neutral projection)
• Refined the dividend yield assumption to a constant rate of 4% over the projection period
• Semi-annual time steps to match the coupon payments of the debt instruments
• A z-spread roll-up basis was used to model future coupon obligations beyond the contractual terms of the debt instruments to
more accurately allow for the upwarsloping nature of the yield curve.
• Allowance for term-dependent discount rates over the projection period
• Updated the volatility assumption to our best estimate of long-term option volatilities based on the duration of the scheme.

ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Seneca
On 30 November 2020, the Group, through its wholly owned subsidiary, MGIM, acquired 100% of the shares in Seneca for £8.22 million
in cash and £5 million contingent consideration. The contingent consideration is dependant on certain targets being met. If no targets
are met, the payment will be nil and if the targets are met, a maximum payment of £5 million will be made.
AFIN
On 9 December 2020, the Group, through its 70% owned subsidiary, Momentum Short-term Insurance (Namibia) Ltd, acquired
100% in AFIN. AFIN has since been renamed to Momentum Insurance (Namibia). The initial accounting for the AFIN acquisition
was provisionally determined and was presented as preliminary at 30 June 2021. The acquisition accounting has been finalised
and has resulted in a revision of the purchase consideration from N$40 million in cash and N$10 million contingent consideration
to a purchase consideration of N$32 million which comprises a cash component of N$32 million and a contingent consideration
of nil. The excess cash of N$8 million represents a receivable at the acquisition date. June 2021 has been restated accordingly.
These acquisitions provide an opportunity for growth, which is the Group’s current focus.
There were no other significant business combinations for the 12 months ended June 2021.

In the current period the first contingent payment of R64 million was paid in relation to the acquisition of Seneca. Subsequently,
the change in the United Kingdom macroeconomic conditions has meant that the full criteria for the remaining contingent
consideration to Seneca is not expected to be met. As such the estimated contingent consideration payable has been revised
downward by R18 million.In the prior period, the above acquisitions resulted in a total of R201 million being recognised, attributable
to certain anticipated operating synergies. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.
The first one was the determination of the CGUs. Various options were considered by management in the prior year and it was
decided that the Group’s short-term businesses (MSTI and Momentum Insurance) will continue to operate as two separate entities
until all systems have been integrated and all clients and employees have moved over to Momentum Metropolitan. Their cash
flows would therefore be independent until a certain point of the integration process has been reached. During this initial period,
the Group Executive Committee also considered the management reports of these entities separately in order to make decisions
regarding the business. As a result, management concluded that in the prior year the most appropriate view would be to treat
MSTI and Momentum Insurance as two CGUs.
During the prior financial year the process of integrating Momentum Insurance and MSTI has led management to consider these
two entities as one business referred to as Momentum Insure. The integration of both businesses was expected to become
effective 1 July 2021 and as a result, management concluded that having one CGU was deemed more appropriate.
The identification of CGUs was based on which CGUs in the Group’s short-term business were expected to benefit from the
synergies of the business combination as well as management's view of how the Group’s short-term businesses will continue
to operate in the future.
The second area of judgement was the allocation of the goodwill and other intangible assets to the two CGUs. As the goodwill was
recognised due to the expected future benefits of the acquisition, an allocation proportional to directors' valuations was deemed
appropriate. This was because directors' valuations represented our current best-estimate view of future financial benefits to be
derived from each entity. The same was applied to all other intangible assets, with the exception of computer software purchased
which was only used by Momentum Insurance.
All the intangible assets allocated to MSTI were written off in the prior years. Refer to note 3 for more details.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Long-term insurance risk: Long-term insurance risk is the risk of loss or adverse change in the value of long-term (life) insurance
contracts resulting from changes in current or expected future risk claims or policyholder persistency. This can be through the realisation
of an operating experience loss or the change in insurance liabilities. The value of life insurance contracts is the expectation in
the pricing and/or liability of the underlying contract where insurance liabilities are determined using an economic boundary.
It therefore relates to risk exposures across mortality, morbidity/disability, retrenchment, longevity, life catastrophes, lapse and
persistency. The Group also has exposure to health insurance risk in India and its African subsidiaries outside South Africa.
Non-life insurance risk: Non-life insurance risk is the risk of unexpected underwriting losses in respect of existing non-life
insurance business as well as the new business expected to be written over the next 12 months. Underwriting losses could result
from adverse claims, increased expenses, insufficient pricing, inadequate reserving, or through inefficient mitigation strategies like
inadequate or non-adherence to underwriting guidelines. It covers premium, reserve, lapse and catastrophe risk exposures.
Liquidity risk: Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group, though solvent, has inadequate liquid financial resources to meet its financial
obligations as and when they fall due, or where these resources can only be secured at excessive cost. The Group differentiates
between funding liquidity risk (the risk of losses arising from difficulty in raising funding to meet obligations when they become
due or the funding can only be raised at excessive cost) and market liquidity risk (the risk of losses arising when engaging in
financial instrument transactions due to inadequate market depth and/or breadth or a market disruption).
Market risk: Market risk is the risk of financial loss due to adverse movements in the market value of assets supporting liabilities
relative to the value of those liabilities, or due to a decrease in the net asset value, as a consequence of changes in market conditions
or as a result of the performance of investments held. This includes exposure to equities, interest rates, credit spreads, property,
price inflation and currencies.
Credit risk: Credit risk is the risk of losses arising from the potential that a counterparty will fail to meet its obligations in accordance
with agreed terms. It arises from investment and non-investment activities, such as reinsurance credit risk, amounts due from
intermediaries and policy loans.
The sections that follow provide information on the processes in place to manage and mitigate the financial and insurance risks
inherent in the contracts issued by the Group.
GROUP REPORTS
36.1 Capital management objectives
The Board has the ultimate responsibility for the efficient management of capital within the Group. The Balance Sheet
Management function is responsible for the day-to-day activities relating to capital management and to make timely, prudent
recommendations to the relevant governance committees.
The key objectives of the Group’s capital management programme are to maintain compliance with minimum regulatory Solvency
Capital Requirements (SCR) as well as the target SCR cover ratios as approved as part of the Group’s risk appetite framework.
The focus on maintaining an optimal solvency position will always be balanced with the aim of not retaining excessive surplus
capital on the statement of financial position. In order to do this, the Group continues to focus on optimising capital consumption,
the Group capital structure, capital deployment and capital distribution. When these activities are combined, capital management
drives value creation within the Group. The capital management programme is underpinned by appropriate links to the Group’s risk
appetite framework and governance processes while focusing on effective implementation and execution of the principles.
CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
against the adverse impacts of unexpected risk events. This is the primary aim for holding capital on the statement of financial
position. In addition to this, holding capital on the statement of financial position enables the Group to support its business strategy.
Within the Group, capital is measured and monitored on both an IFRS and regulatory basis. On the IFRS basis, capital is defined
as the total equity plus subordinated debt. On the regulatory basis, capital is defined as the total eligible own funds calculated
in line with the technical specifications of the Prudential Standards together with any applicable approvals obtained.
• Capital coverage
The Group specifies capital coverage ratios and ranges for the Group and its regulated insurance entities, which are defined
under its risk appetite framework.
• Capital allocation
As a general principle, subsidiaries are capitalised to ensure medium-term regulatory solvency while additional capital is held
ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
• Investment of assets backing shareholder capital
The assets held in the shareholder capital portfolios, housed within MML, are financial assets that are in excess of the assets
required to meet policyholder obligations and are directly attributable to the Group’s shareholders. These assets back the
Group’s minimum required capital, approved capital buffers, the subordinated debt programme, as well as discretionary capital.
The assets backing shareholder capital portfolios are invested in line with approved risk appetite and mandates.
• Dividends
The Group’s dividend policy is to grow dividends in line with normalised headline earnings growth. The Group targets a 2.5x
normalised headline earnings dividend cover with a 2.0x to 3.0x target coverage range. This implies a pay-out ratio of c.40%
to c.50% of normalised headline earnings per annum.

within the Prudential Standards.

GROUP REPORTS
36.4 Capital coverage
MML has adopted a target range for regulatory solvency cover of 1.6 to 2.0 times the SCR. This makes allowance for the capital required
to support the covered business against a range of severe but plausible scenarios, as well as the wider strategic investments. The
Solvency Capital Requirements (SCR) requirements of MML were met at 30 June 2022 and throughout the financial year.
The PA has designated Momentum Metropolitan as an insurance group and approval for the licensing of MMH as the controlling company
of the insurance group was received in August 2021. The Group has received approval to calculate its group solvency position using
the Accounting Consolidation method (for Momentum Metropolitan Life Ltd, Momentum Insure Company Ltd and the Asset Holding
Intermediaries held by these entities) as well as certain additional methodology approvals that have a minor impact on group solvency.
The Group targets an SCR cover range of 1.4 to 1.7 times SCR. The Group’s solvency position is determined by aggregating
the adjusted own funds and SCR under the regulatory framework of all the underlying entities, after elimination of intra-group
arrangements. The prescribed Deduction and Aggregation method is applied in aggregating the adjusted solo own funds and
solo SCRs of the controlling company and its participations. For entities for which approval has been received for inclusion in the
Accounting Consolidation group, the eligible own funds and SCR are calculated using a consolidated balance sheet approach as
required by the Framework for Financial Soundness of Insurance Groups.

36.5 Credit ratings
MML and the Guardrisk Group entities are the main rated entities within the Group. Therefore, this section provides an update on
these entities.
In April 2022, Moody’s updated their credit opinion for Guardrisk and MML. In those credit opinion reports, Moody’s affirmed
the MML and Guardrisk credit ratings and changed the credit rating outlook from negative to stable. The table below shows the
relevant Momentum Metropolitan entity credit ratings as at 30 June 2022.

On MML, in the April 2022 report, Moody’s commented that “MML Ba1 global scale and Aaa.za national scale, IFS ratings reflect
the insurer's top tier market position in South Africa, its solid capital position and its flexible product characteristics which serve
to reduce the impact on the Group from stress related to credit pressures at the sovereign level.” They further noted: “These
strengths are partially offset by the Group's exposure to South Africa, both in the form of its invested assets and revenues.
These are susceptible to the pressure on the domestic economy and the effects of coronavirus which has significantly impacted
earnings via high mortality claims and additional life insurance provisions, thus hampering the group's ability to achieve its
previous “Reset and Grow” profitability target.”
On Guardrisk, in the April 2022 report, Moody’s commented that “The Ba2 global scale IFS ratings, with stable outlook, assigned to
entities in the Guardrisk group - as well as the Aaa.za national scale IFS ratings assigned to the South African entities - reflect its
good market position as the largest cell captive insurer in the South African market, low underwriting risk due to its predominantly
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
fee based model, diverse product mix across life insurance and short-tailed non-life insurance lines, and strong profitability. These
strengths are partially offset by its investment portfolio's concentrated exposure to the South African economy and banking
system with a significant majority of Guardrisk group's invested assets comprising South African bank deposits, debt securities
and investments in money market funds. Also, Guardrisk group has a lower regulatory capital buffer above the new South African
Solvency Assessment and Management framework (SAM) capital requirements due to non-recognition of surplus capital in cells
for regulatory capital purposes, and is exposed to corporate credit risk through its reliance on cell-owners to recapitalise cells in
the event needed."

GROUP REPORTS
37.1 Classes of long-term insurance and investment business
The different classes of business are discussed below:
• The Group holds the assets on which unit prices are based in accordance with policy terms and conditions.
• Policyholders carry the investment risk; however, the Group carries a risk of reduced income from fees where these are based
on investment returns or the underlying fund value, or where investment conditions affect its ability to recoup expenses incurred.
Furthermore, there is also the reputational risk if actual investment performance is not in line with policyholder expectations.
These risks are managed through the rigorous investment research process applied by the Group’s investment managers, which
is supported by technical as well as fundamental analysis.
• The shareholders earn management fees as a percentage of the fair value of the asset portfolio. To the extent that these assets
CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
are subject to interest rate and market price risk, these fees are volatile, although always positive. In addition, shareholders earn
fees as a percentage of the investment return on certain asset portfolios over the period. Due to fluctuations in investment returns
over periods, these fees are volatile and can be negative.
• The liabilities originating from market-related investment contracts are measured with reference to their respective underlying
assets. Changes in the credit risk of the underlying assets impact the measurement of these liabilities.
Individual and group contracts with market exposure: Discretionary participation business
Discretionary participation business includes traditional smoothed bonus business, conventional with-profit business and group
with profit annuities. These may be insurance contracts or investment with Discretionary Participation Features (DPF) contracts,
and include universal life contracts that also provide cover on death or disability.
• Bonuses are declared taking into account a number of factors, including actual investment returns, previous bonus rates
declared and contract holders’ reasonable expectations. Bonuses are generally designated as vesting bonuses, which

• Bonuses for MML are subject to approval by the MMH Actuarial Committee which performs an oversight and approval role on behalf
of the Boards of the life insurers. Non-South African subsidiaries’ bonuses are subject to approval by their respective Boards.
• All long-term insurers that write discretionary participation business are required to define, and make publicly available,
the principles and practices of financial management (PPFM) that they apply in the management of their discretionary
participation business. In accordance with this, MML has issued PPFM for all discretionary participation portfolios detailing
the investment strategies and bonus philosophies of the portfolios. In addition, management reports to the Fair Practices
Committee (a subcommittee of the MMH Board) on an annual basis regarding compliance with the PPFM.
• Bonus Stabilisation Accounts (BSA) are held equal to the difference between the fund accounts, or the discounted value of
projected future benefit payments for conventional with-profit and with-profit annuity business, and the market value of the
underlying assets. A positive BSA is the undistributed surplus in the asset portfolio that is earmarked for future distribution to
contract holders. A positive BSA is recognised as a liability.
• If the smoothing process has resulted in a negative BSA because of a downward fluctuation in the market value of the backing
assets, the liabilities are reduced by the amount that can reasonably be expected to be recovered through under-distribution of
bonuses during the ensuing three years, provided that the Board is satisfied that, if the market values of assets do not recover, future
bonuses will be reduced to the extent necessary. The Group is exposed to market and liquidity risk to the extent that a negative BSA
cannot reasonably be expected to be recovered through under-distribution of bonuses during the ensuing three years.
• Short-term derivative hedging strategies may be utilised at times to protect the funding level of the discretionary participation
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
portfolios against significant negative market movements. These strategies would be implemented by the underlying asset
managers in consultation with management.
• The shareholders earn management fees as a percentage of the fair value of the asset portfolio. To the extent that the assets
are subject to interest rate and market price risk, these fees are volatile, although always positive. In addition, shareholders earn
fees as a percentage of the investment return on certain asset portfolios over the period. Due to fluctuations in investment
returns over periods, these fees are volatile and can be negative.
Investment guarantees
• A minimum guaranteed maturity value is attached to the majority of the individual discretionary participation business and
some of the individual market-related business. Some products also provide minimum benefits on early duration deaths and on
early terminations.
• In addition, all discretionary participation business has a minimum death or maturity value equal to the vested benefits.
• Some older blocks of retirement annuity business have attaching guaranteed annuity options on maturity. These give contract
holders the right to purchase conventional annuity contracts at guaranteed rates specified at the inception dates of the
retirement annuity contracts. The liabilities in respect of these types of guarantees are much less significant than the liabilities
in respect of minimum guaranteed maturity values and minimum vested benefits.
• On inflation-linked annuities a minimum annual increase rate is generally applicable, for instance as a consequence of
regulatory requirements whereby pension income cannot reduce in nominal terms.
• The liabilities in respect of investment guarantees are sensitive to interest rate and equity price movements as well as market-
implied volatilities and are valued using accepted proprietary models in accordance with market-consistent valuation techniques
as set out in professional guidance note APN 110 – Allowance for Embedded Investment Derivatives. Refer to note 11.
• Currently certain structures are in place to partially match movements in this liability. However, it is not possible to fully match
these guarantees due to the long-term nature of the guarantees provided and the lack of corresponding financial instruments
in the market with similar durations.
GROUP REPORTS
37.2 Long-term insurance risk
Long-term insurance risk is the risk of loss or adverse change in the value of long-term (life) insurance contracts resulting from
changes in current or expected future risk claims or policyholder persistency. This can be through the realisation of an operating
experience loss or the change in insurance liabilities. The value of insurance contracts is the expectation in the pricing and/or
liability of the underlying contract where insurance liabilities are determined using an economic boundary. Insured events are
random and the actual number and amount of claims and benefits will vary from year to year. Statistically, the larger the portfolio
of similar insurance contracts, the smaller the relative variability around the expected outcome will be. Similarly, diversification of
the portfolio with respect to risk factors reduces insurance risk.
CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
by the Board to ensure that the technical actuarial aspects specific to insurance companies are debated and, where necessary,
independently reviewed.
In determining the value of insurance liabilities, assumptions need to be made regarding future rates of mortality and morbidity,
termination rates, retrenchment rates, expenses and investment performance. The uncertainty of these rates may result in actual
experience being different from that assumed and hence actual cash flows being different from those projected. In adverse
circumstances, actual claims and benefits may exceed the liabilities held. The financial risk is partially mitigated through the
addition of margins, especially where there is evidence of moderate or extreme variation in experience.
Reinsurance agreements are used as a primary risk mitigation tool, particularly in terms of insurance risks that are not well
understood or fall outside the Group’s risk appetite.
The main insurance risks, as well as the Group’s approach to the management of these risks, are set out below.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
rates in respect of insurance obligations where a change in demographic rates lead to an increase in the value of insurance
liabilities or claims. Underwriting processes are in place to manage exposure to these risks. The most significant measures are:
• The HAFs are required to evaluate and provide advice to the Board on the actuarial soundness of the terms and conditions of
insurance contracts (Insurance Act, 18 of 2017, GOI 3).
• Regular experience investigations are conducted and used to set premium rates and valuation assumptions.
• Reinsurance arrangements are negotiated in order to limit the risk from any individual contract or aggregation of contracts.
These include company-wide catastrophe reinsurance. MML’s catastrophe reinsurance cover for the current financial year is
R1 billion (2021: R750 million) in excess of R20 million of the total retained sum assured for any single event involving three or
more lives.
The nature of risks varies depending on the class of business. The material classes of business most affected by these risks are
discussed below.

37.2 Long-term insurance risk continued
37.2.1 Demographic risks continued
Group insurance business
• These are contracts that provide life and/or disability cover to members of a group (eg clients or employees of a specific company).
• Typical benefits are:
– Life insurance (mostly lump sum, but including some children and spouse’s annuities)
– Disability insurance (lump sum and income protection)
– Dread disease cover
– Continuation of insurance option.
• Factors affecting these risks and how they are managed:
– Contracts are similar to individual insurance contracts but there is greater risk of correlation between claims on group schemes
because the assured lives live in the same geographical location or work in the same industry; hence a higher degree of
concentration risk exists.
– The products are mostly simple designs with a one-year renewable term. In most cases the products are compulsory for all
employees although it has become more common recently to provide members with a degree of choice when selecting risk

benefits.
– Underwriting on group business is much less stringent than for individual business as there is typically less scope for
anti-selection. The main reason for this is that participation in the Group’s insurance programmes is normally compulsory,
and as a rule members have limited choice in the level of benefits. Where choice in benefits and levels is offered, this is
accompanied by an increase in the level of underwriting to limit anti-selection.
– Groups are priced using standard mortality and morbidity tables. The price for an individual scheme is adjusted for the
following risk factors:
º Region
º Salary structure
º Gender structure
º Industry
– For large schemes (typically 400 or more members), a scheme’s past experience is an important input in setting rates for
the scheme. The larger the scheme, the more weight is given to the scheme’s past experience.

and attending to their normal duties for cover to take effect. This could be waived if the Group takes over a scheme from
another insurer for all existing members. In addition, a pre-existing clause may apply, which states that no disability benefit
will be payable if a member knew about a disabling condition within a defined period before the cover commenced and the
event takes place within a defined period after cover has commenced.
– There is a standard reinsurance treaty in place covering group business. Group life and lump sum disability sum benefits in
excess of R5 million and disability income benefits above R50 000 per month are reinsured. There are also some facultative
arrangements in place on some schemes that are particularly large and can have a significant impact on profit and loss.
The number of facultative arrangements was increased in 2021 in order to reduce exposure to Covid-19 death claims.
These arrangements are being reviewed given the reduced impact of Covid-19.
– Furthermore, there is a company-wide catastrophe reinsurance treaty in place. The catastrophe reinsurance is particularly
important for group risk business as there are considerably more concentrations of risks compared to individual business.

GROUP REPORTS
37.2 Long-term insurance risk continued
37.2.2 Contract persistency risk continued
How risks are managed:
• Premium rates are determined using realistic assumptions with regard to termination rates (rates of lapse, surrender and paid
up experience) based on the Group’s actual experience. In addition, customer retention programs are in place to actively retain
customers at risk of departure due to a lapse, surrender or maturity.
• Where withdrawal benefits are payable on termination, these can be adjusted to recover certain expenses. However, market
and legislative forces may restrict the extent to which this may be done in future.
• Persistency rates are measured on a monthly basis by a variety of factors and retention strategies are implemented on an
ongoing basis based on this information.
• Commission paid on many products is closely aligned to premium collection and the terms of the contract, therefore reducing
the risk of non-recovery of commission on new policies subsequently cancelled or paid up, which may improve persistency.
CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Retrenchment risk is the risk of loss, or of adverse changes in the value of insurance contracts, resulting from changes in the
level, trend or volatility of retrenchment inception rates used in pricing and valuing retrenchment benefits provided under policies.
The Group has limited exposure to retrenchment risk and will consider future opportunities which provide adequate risk-adjusted
return and can be appropriately mitigated. The risk is seen as an enabler to get more exposure to other risks to which the Group
has a risk seeking attitude. When writing retrenchment risk, the Group carefully considers the design of benefits, benefit term,
premium guarantees as well as the expected diversification across employers and industries.
Budget controls are in place to mitigate this risk. The Group performs expense investigations annually and sets pricing and
valuation assumptions to be in line with actual experience and budgets, with allowance for inflation. The inflation assumption
ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
37.2.5 Business volume risk
There is a risk that the Group may not sell sufficient volumes of new business to meet the expenses associated with distribution and
administration. A significant portion of the new business acquisition costs is variable and relates directly to sales volumes. The fixed
cost component can be scaled down if there is an indication of a permanent decline in business volumes, but this will happen over a
period of time. A further mitigating factor is that the distribution channels used to generate new insurance and investment business
are used to distribute a range of product lines within the Group, such as health insurance and non-life insurance.
Guardrisk
Guardrisk transacts in all classes of non-life insurance business. Insurance is provided to corporate clients (through first-party
cells and contingency policies) and to the general public (through third-party cell owners). Insurance contracts are issued for
monthly, annual and multi-year periods and include the following classes of risk: motor, property, agriculture, engineering, marine,
aviation, transport, rail, legal expense, liability, consumer credit, trade credit, guarantee, accident and health, travel, miscellaneous
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
as well as reinsurance on all the classes above. Premiums charged for risks are regularly monitored by the underwriting and
actuarial teams and, where necessary, adjustments are made to the office premium to take into account competition, the
underwriting cycle, reinsurance and capital requirements.
The Group has developed an Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework in respect of the non-life business to provide
reasonable assurance that the Group’s risks are being prudently and soundly managed. The framework is designed according to
acceptable principles from Corporate Governance and Risk Management standards. The ERM framework outlines the key risks
facing the business and how these risks are managed, monitored and reported on.
Risks are rated individually by programmes loaded onto the underwriting system based on information captured by staff for
each risk. Conditions and exclusions are also automatically set at an individual risk level. Individual risks are only automatically
accepted up to predetermined thresholds which vary by risk type. Risks with larger exposure than the thresholds are automatically
referred and underwritten individually by the actuarial department. These limits are set at a substantially lower level than the
reinsurance retention limits. No risks which exceed the upper limits of the reinsurance can be accepted without the necessary
facultative reinsurance cover being arranged. No claims bonus, which rewards clients for not claiming, and safety bonuses,
which reward clients for adhering to, monitoring and reporting certain safety criteria, also form part of the Group’s non-life
business underwriting strategy. Multi-claimants are monitored and managed by tightening conditions of cover or ultimately
cancelling cover.
Guardrisk
Guardrisk has an Audit and Risk Committee and an Investment Committee. These Board subcommittees oversee the risk universe
from general operations and investments respectively. Operational management of risk is delegated to the Guardrisk Executive
Committee with operational committees tasked in specific areas. New and existing product development initiatives are considered
by the Product Management Committees for appropriateness and viability that conforms to regulatory, legal, tax and accounting
requirements.
For each cell or policy accepted by Guardrisk, a business take-on process is followed that utilises multi-disciplinary teams to
determine major exposures to insurance risk. This take-on process varies in extent and detail depending on the significance of the
new cell facility. Where the business take-on process identifies significant down-side risk, measures are put in place to manage
the residual retained risks to remain within risk appetite.
GROUP REPORTS
37.3 Non-life insurance risk continued
37.3.1 Non-life insurance risk management continued
Premiums charged for risks are regularly monitored by the underwriting and actuarial teams and, where necessary, adjustments
are made to the office premium to take into account competition, the underwriting cycle, reinsurance and capital requirements.
The definitions of the risks that compromise non-life insurance risk are presented below:
• Premium risk: the risk of financial loss arising from fluctuations in timing, frequency and severity of insured events for
business to be written in the next 12 months and unexpired risks on existing contracts. Premium risk includes the risk that
premium provisions turn out to be insufficient to compensate claims or the need to increase these provisions.
• Reserve risk: the risk of adverse change in the value of insurance obligations arising from fluctuations in timing and amounts
of claim settlements.
• Lapse risk: the risk of financial loss, or of adverse change in the value of insurance obligations, resulting from changes in the
level or volatility of the rates of policy lapses, terminations, renewals and surrenders.
• Catastrophe risk: the risk that a single event, or series of events, of major magnitude, usually over a short period (often 72 hours),
CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
leads to a financial loss, or of an adverse change in the value of insurance liabilities. Catastrophe losses are the losses that
arise from catastrophe risk and these include:
– Natural catastrophes which include anything which is caused by a natural process, including earthquakes and hail storms.
– Man-made catastrophes which are events that arise as a consequence of actions by humans.
The Group conducts business in different classes of non-life insurance and writes these either as personal or commercial
contracts. The following types of traditional contracts are written:
• Motor: Provides policy benefits if an event, contemplated in the contract as a risk relating to the possession, use or ownership
of a motor vehicle occurs.
• Property: Provides policy benefits for loss of or damage relating to the possession, use, or ownership of moveable and
immovable property.
• Accident and Health: Provides policy benefits if a disability event, health event or death event occurs.
• Liability: Provides policy benefits relating to the incurring of a liability, otherwise than as part of a policy relating to a risk more
ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
• Transportation: Provides policy benefits relating to the possession, use or ownership of a vessel, aircraft or other craft or for
the conveyance of persons or goods by air, space, land or water, or to the storage, treatment or handling of goods so conveyed
or to be so conveyed.
• Miscellaneous: Provides policy benefits relating to any matter not otherwise provided for. This type of contract typically
includes inter alia legal expense insurance.

Cell captive arrangements
The cell owner shareholders’ agreements protect the Group from losses arising from business conducted in cells due to the rights
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
and obligations of both parties set out in the various cell owner shareholders agreements. Individual cells not meeting capital
requirements pose a solvency risk that is monitored on a monthly basis and, if required, additional capital is requested from such
cell owners. This risk is managed by an assessment of potential cell owners’ creditworthiness based on the ability to meet the
responsibility and obligations in terms of the shareholders agreement. Solvency of cells are assessed monthly to manage the
solvency support provided from the promoter within the Board approved solvency support framework.
The Group’s exposure to risk on this business is a credit risk of the cell owner, if a cell owner does not meet its contractual solvency
obligations set out in the cell owner shareholders agreement, with respect to third-party cell arrangements. Based on current
economic conditions, and reviewing specific facilities, a probability of default is applied to cells in deficit. The Group’s underwriting
strategy is directed at a portfolio of underwritten risks that are well diversified in terms of risk, industry and geography.
Guardrisk
Contingency policy business
This business is usually written for a one-year period with the policies covering multiple risks. The risks underwritten are those
of a corporate entity (ie first-party business) and are generally either in respect of primary layers of the corporate’s insurance
programme or for risks that are difficult to insure in a traditional insurance product. The corporate insured in a contingency policy
is entitled to a share in the underwriting result if there is favourable claims experience.
Subject matter experts in the business provide input to develop suitable policy and cover limits as well as retention limits for
reinsurance where applicable. Reinsurance is generally structured above the layer provided by the contingency policy.
There is an aggregate excess of loss treaty in place for all contingency policies. This reinsurance treaty is currently arranged for a
limit of R19 million each and every loss in excess of R1 million each and every loss up to R5 million in the annual aggregate.
Guardrisk
Risk participation with cell shareholders
Guardrisk, through the promoter cell, shares in the emerging underwriting experience of selected cell arrangements. Before
entering into new risk sharing agreements with cell owners, internal processes covering all disciplines are executed with a
recommendation to the Guardrisk Product Management Committee for decision-making if within delegated mandate, otherwise
the decision is escalated to the Guardrisk Board. In addition, the company utilises independent underwriting managers to
undertake risk taking on behalf of the company with profit share agreements.
Reinsurance
The Group reinsures a portion of the risk it assumes through its reinsurance programme in order to control the exposure of the
Group to losses arising from insurance contracts and in order to protect the profitability of the Group and its capital. A suite of
treaties is purchased in order to limit losses suffered from individual and aggregate insurance risks. Facultative reinsurance is
purchased for certain individual risks that have been identified as being outside the limits set for these risks. The retention limits
are modelled to optimise the balance between acceptable volatility and reinsurance cost. Acceptable volatility is as defined by the
limits set by the Board of directors. The Group only enters into reinsurance agreements with reinsurers which have adequate credit
ratings, as prescribed by the Group’s Reinsurance Risk Policy.
Guardrisk
The key objective when placing reinsurance is to optimise capital requirements and protection of the retained lines of both Guardrisk
and the cell owners. The reinsurers selected are in accordance with Guardrisk’s reinsurance vetting procedures. These are presented
to and approved by the Guardrisk Board. These procedures include limiting individual cessions and accumulations per reinsurer in
accordance with their credit rating.
Other than sourcing capacity for both first and third-party business, reinsurance is arranged to protect the net retention of the
promoter on both a proportional and non-proportional basis. The net retention of both Guardrisk and the cells will determine the
non-proportional programmes whereas estimated premium income and loss ratios determine retention on proportional programmes.
The non-proportional reinsurance arrangements include per risk and/or per event excess-of-loss coverage. Proportional reinsurance
arrangements are predominantly quota share treaties with limited use of surplus treaties.
Guardrisk
Risks relating to the cell captive business are adequately spread across the major classes of insurance risk and is spread geographically.
Catastrophe limits are set to render satisfactory results to these simulations. The catastrophe cover is also placed with reinsurers
with a reputable credit rating and cognisance is taken of the geographical spread of the other risks underwritten by the reinsurers in
order to reduce correlation of the Group’s exposure with the balance of their exposure. These reinsurance models are run at least
annually to take account of changes in the portfolio and to take the latest potential loss information into account.
GROUP REPORTS
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group, although solvent, has inadequate cash resources to meet its financial obligations when due,
or can only secure these resources at excessive cost. The Group differentiates between funding liquidity risk (the risk of losses arising
from difficulty in raising funding to meet obligations when they become due) and market liquidity risk (the risk of losses arising
when engaging in financial instrument transactions due to inadequate market depth or market disruptions).
The Momentum Metropolitan Capital and Investment Committee (CIC) is responsible for the Group’s liquidity and funding risk
management with the Board Risk Capital and Compliance Committee providing oversight for funding and liquidity risk assumed
in the Group’s statement of financial position on behalf of shareholders. This includes the funding and liquidity risk on guaranteed
and non-profit policyholder liabilities and shareholder portfolios.
CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The principal risk relating to liquidity comprises the Group’s exposure to policyholder behaviour, eg unanticipated benefit withdrawals
or risk-related claims. The insurance and investment contract liabilities comprise 86% (2021: 85%) of the liabilities of the Group.
Management of the liquidity risk thereof is described below in terms of policyholder benefits.
Policyholder liabilities
Guaranteed endowment and structured product benefits
Guaranteed endowments and structured products have very specific guaranteed repayment profiles. The expected liability outflow
is matched by assets that provide the required cash flows as and when the liabilities become payable.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Conventional with-profit and smoothed bonus policyholder benefits
These benefits are determined mainly by reference to the policy fund values which reflect past contributions plus declared bonuses
or the initial sum assured plus declared bonuses. The policy values, over time, move broadly in line with the value of underlying
assets. Upon a contractual claim, assets are disposed of in the market, but only to the extent that cash flows into the fund are
insufficient to cover the outflow. Assets are generally easy to realise as they consist mainly of large listed equity securities,
government stock or funds on deposit.
The investment policy and mandates take the expected liability cash flow into account. By limiting the cash flow mismatch, the
risk of premature realisation of assets or reinvestment of excess cash is mitigated. In addition, investment guidelines and limits
are used to limit exposure to illiquid assets.
Maturity dates are normally known in advance and contractual claims are projected. Cash flow projections are performed to aid in
portfolio and cash flow management. Where the product design allows for the payment of an early termination value (ie a benefit
payment before the contract maturity date), such value is not normally guaranteed but is determined at the Group’s discretion
(subject to certain minima prescribed by legislation). This limits the loss on early termination. If underlying assets are illiquid, the
terms of the policy contracts normally allow for a staggered approach to early termination benefit payments. Examples of the
latter are contracts that invest in unlisted equity and certain property funds.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
When a particular policyholder fund is shrinking (ie outflows exceed inflows), care is taken to ensure that the investment strategy
and unit pricing structure of the fund are appropriate to meet liquidity requirements (as determined by cash flow projections). In
practice, such a fund is often merged with cash flow positive funds to avoid unnecessary constraints on investment freedom.
Policyholder contracts that provide mostly lump sum risk benefits do not normally give rise to significant liquidity risks compared
to policies that provide mostly savings benefits. Funds supporting risk benefits normally have substantial cash inflows from which
claims can be paid. Accrued liabilities are matched by liquid assets to meet cash outflows in excess of expected inflows.
On certain large corporate policy contracts, the terms of each individual policy contract take into account the relevant liquidity
requirements. Examples of such contractual provisions include the payment of benefits in specie, or a provision for sufficient lag
times between the termination notification and the payment of benefits.
For these contracts providing guaranteed annuity benefits all the liquidity risk that arises is borne by the shareholders. The liquidity risk
is mitigated by ensuring that expected liability cash flows are matched with sufficiently liquid assets of appropriate nature and term.
Shareholder funds
The significant shareholder liabilities of the Group are the cumulative convertible redeemable preference shares issued by the Company,
the carry positions, the subordinated call notes issued by MML and the cumulative redeemable preference shares issued by MMSI.
The Group holds sufficient cash and liquid marketable financial instruments in its shareholders’ funds to meet its commitments
as and when they fall due. The investment assets backing the shareholder funds are invested in a diversified portfolio of liquid
cash, floating rate instruments and interests in subsidiaries and/or related entities. The investment mandate and guidelines that
govern the investment of shareholder funds restrict exposure to high-quality assets.
The projected liquidity requirements of the shareholder portfolio are identified, measured and reported on a regular basis to the CIC.
The regular reports take the expected shareholder cash flows (eg committed mergers and acquisition activity and liquidity needs of
related entities) into account in order to identify material funding liquidity gaps early. By determining the potential liquidity gaps, the
funding liquidity and market liquidity risks of the shareholder portfolios are mitigated.

GROUP REPORTS
Maturity profile of liabilities continued
Cash flows relating to policyholder liabilities under insurance and investment contracts (current in-force book) have been
apportioned between future time periods in the following manner:
• In general, the earliest contractual maturity date is used for all liabilities.
• For investment contracts, the contractually required cash flows for policies that can be surrendered are the surrender values
of such policies (after deduction of surrender penalties). It is assumed that surrender values are contractually available on
demand and therefore these policies are disclosed as open-ended.
• For policies with no surrender value, the estimated contractual cash flow is disclosed.
• Contractual undiscounted cash flows are disclosed for investment contract liabilities designated at FVPL.
• Expected discounted cash flows, ie the estimated timing of repayment of the amounts recognised in the statement of financial
position, are disclosed for insurance contract liabilities and investment contracts with DPF liabilities. The assumptions used to
calculate the statement of financial position value of these liabilities are disclosed in note 11.
• For investment contracts with DPF liabilities, the discretionary component of the liability has been allocated in line with the
underlying expected benefits payable to policyholders.
CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Financial liabilities at FVPL:
• Collective investment scheme liabilities represent demand liabilities of scheme interests not held by the Group arising as a
result of consolidation.
• The cash flows relating to the subordinated call notes have been allocated to the earliest period in which they are callable by
MML. They will be funded from cash resources at that time. The shareholder funds include sufficient cash resources to fund
the coupon payments under these call notes.
• Carry positions have a one-month rolling period and the funding thereof forms part of the general portfolio management.
• The cumulative redeemable preference shares are redeemable at the option of the issuer on any dividend payment date.
During the prior year 300 redeemable preference shares were redeemed and the remaining 700 redeemable preference shares
ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
On 29 January 2020, MMSI issued 1 000 Class B cumulative redeemable preference shares at R1 million per share to FirstRand
Bank Ltd with a redemption date of 28 January 2025. Dividends are payable on 31 March and 30 September of each year. The
issuer has an option to redeem the preference shares on any dividend payment date. Additionally, on 28 April 2020, MMSI issued
300 cumulative redeemable preference shares at R1 million per share to Sanlam Alternative Income Fund with a redemption date
of 28 April 2023. Dividends are payable on 31 March and 30 September of each year. The issuer has an option to redeem the
preference shares.
• Cumulative redeemable convertible preference shares: It is expected that the A3 preference shares will convert into ordinary
shares and that there will therefore be no cash outflow on conversion; however, if the shares are not converted, an outflow
at redemption value on the redemption date, 30 June 2022. The preference shares were not redeemed on 30 June 2022 and
an extension was entered into in the current year for a further 5 months. The Group has a further obligation to pay preference
share dividends. The cash flows for these dividends are those expected up to redemption date, even though the conversion of
the preference shares is at the option of the preference shareholder.
• Included in other financial liabilities at amortised cost is a loan from FirstRand Bank Ltd of R234 million (2021: R247 million)
with interest levied at 11% (2021: 11%). The interest is repaid monthly with the capital balance payable in December 2025.
Also included is a loan from Standard Bank Ltd of R475 million (2021: R882 million) with interest levied at three-month average
JIBAR plus 1.85% (2021: JIBAR plus 2.1%). The interest on the loan was capitalised against the loan balance until 1 November 2019.
Thereafter the interest will be repaid quarterly with the capital balance also being amortised quarterly and the balance payable in
November 2026.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
There is also a R163 million (2021: R178 million) loan from Standard Bank Ltd acquired in order to develop property held by a
subsidiary, Momentum Metropolitan Umhlanga (Pty) Ltd. Interest on the loan is levied at JIBAR plus 1.9%.
All loans are secured by underlying property.

39 MARKET RISK
Market risk is the risk of financial loss due to adverse movements in the market value of assets supporting liabilities relative to
the value of those liabilities, or due to a decrease in the net asset value, as a consequence of changes in market conditions or as
a result of the performance of investments held. This includes exposure to equities, interest rates, credit spreads, property, price
inflation and currencies.
Financial instruments held by the Group are subject to the components of market risk as follows:

GROUP REPORTS
For discretionary participation business, market-related contracts or unit-linked contracts:
Furthermore, the Group is also exposed to reputational risk if actual investment performance is not in line with policyholder expectations.
For non-profit business (including annuities) and in respect of the net asset value, shareholders carry the market risk.
The Momentum Metropolitan CIC is also responsible for the Group’s market risk management, with the Board Risk Capital and
Compliance Committee providing oversight over market risks assumed on behalf of shareholders.
CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Momentum Metropolitan Product Management Committee provides oversight over the management of policyholder
market risk. Policyholder market risk is managed through various management-level governance committees established for
this purpose. These committees monitor the performance of investment portfolios against client outcome requirements. This
includes consideration of the appropriateness of the matching of assets and liabilities of the various policyholder portfolios where
policyholder benefits are impacted by investment returns.
For contract holder liabilities, the financial instruments backing each major line of business are segregated to ensure that they are
used exclusively to provide benefits for the relevant contract holders. The valuation of these financial instruments is subject to
various market risks, particularly interest rate and price risk. Each portfolio consists of an asset mix deemed appropriate for the
specific product. These risks and the Group’s exposure to equity, interest rate, currency and property price risks are discussed and
disclosed in this note.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
earned on the underlying portfolio and the returns credited to the contract. These may be investment contracts or insurance
contracts and include universal life contracts which also provide cover on death or disability.
Policyholders carry the investment risk; however, the Group carries a risk of reduced income from fees where these are based on
investment returns or the underlying fund value, or where investment conditions affect its ability to recoup expenses incurred.
Furthermore, there is also reputational risk if actual investment performance is not in line with policyholder expectations. These
risks are managed through the rigorous investment research process applied by the Group’s investment managers.
The investment return earned on the underlying assets, after tax and charges, is distributed to policyholders in the form of
bonuses in line with product design, reasonable policyholder expectations, affordability and management discretion. The use of
bonuses is a mechanism to smooth returns to policyholders in order to reduce the risk of volatile investment performance. Any
returns not yet distributed are retained in a BSA for future distribution to policyholders.
A portion of smoothed bonus fund values are deemed vested and thereby constitutes a form of investment guarantee in certain
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
circumstances. Similarly, on reversionary bonus business, an investment guarantee in the form of sum assured and declared
reversionary bonuses is given.
• In valuing the liabilities it is assumed that lower bonuses will be declared in future.
• Lower bonuses are actually declared.
• For those contracts where a portion of bonuses declared is not vested, the Group has the right to remove previously declared
non-vested bonuses in the event of a fall in the market value of assets. This will only be done if the BSA is negative and it is
believed that markets will not recover in the short term.
• A market value adjuster may be applied in the event of voluntary withdrawal in cases where the withdrawal benefit exceeds
the market value. For group contracts, an alternative option is to pay out the termination value over an extended term (usually
10 years). These measures are primarily to protect the remaining policyholders.
• Short-term derivative hedging or other partial derisking strategies can be used to protect the funding level against further
deterioration due to poor investment performance.
• In very extreme circumstances, funds may be transferred from the shareholder portfolio into the BSA on a temporary or
permanent basis.
No market value adjuster applies but for group contracts, allowance is made for the payment of benefits over a period of up to
12 months if large collective outflows may prejudice remaining investors. Derivative instruments are used to minimise downside
market risk in these portfolios.
The Group also carries conventional business that offers minimum guarantees on maturity, surrender and death, with different
forms of guarantees that apply in each event.
On some closed funds policyholders have the option to purchase a minimum guaranteed return of up to 5% p.a. The guarantee
charge for these policies is set at a level that will cover the expected cost of guarantees, including the opportunity cost of
additional capital held in respect of these guarantees. Only selected portfolios qualify for this guarantee and the guarantee also
applies only to specific terms.
On inflation-linked annuities a minimum annual increase rate is generally applicable, for instance as a consequence of regulatory
requirements whereby pension income cannot reduce in nominal terms. The minimum increase represents an inflation-related
embedded financial guarantee.
GROUP REPORTS
Market risk management per product continued
Non-profit annuity business
An annuity policy pays an income to the annuitant in return for a lump sum consideration paid on origination of the annuity
policy. Income payments may be subject to a minimum period. The income may be fixed or increase at a fixed rate or in line
with inflation.
This income is guaranteed and the value of the liability is, therefore, subject to interest rate risk, in addition to the risk of longer
than anticipated life expectancy. In order to hedge against the interest rate risk, the Group invests in an actively managed portfolio
of government and corporate bonds, promissory notes from banks, swaps and other interest rate derivatives which provide a high
degree of matching to the interest risk profile of the liabilities. The mismatch risk is managed on a dedicated risk management
system that includes daily monitoring of Board-approved limits. Index-linked annuities, which provide increases in line with
inflation, are generally matched with index-linked bonds or bank-issued matching structures. Where cash flow matching is not
possible, or not desirable from an overall risk profile perspective, interest rate risk is minimised by ensuring the values of assets
and liabilities respond similarly to small changes in interest rates.
CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The impact of a 1% reduction in yields on the annuity portfolio will generate a mismatch loss of R24 million (20211: R35 million) for MML.
The liability valuation calculation for MML annuities is based on the risk-free yield curve. The average rate that produces the same result is
12.5% (2021: 10.3%).

Erroneously disclosed in the prior year. June 2021 has been restated accordingly.
A variation on guaranteed endowment policies is contracts where the capital guarantee is combined with a guaranteed return
linked to the returns on local and offshore market indices. The risk associated with the guarantee on these contracts is managed
ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Other non-profit business
These policies mainly represent whole life and term assurance contracts that provide lump sum benefits on death and disability. In addition
to mortality risk, morbidity risk, expense risk and persistency risk, there is also the risk that investment return experienced may be different
to that assumed when the price of insurance business was determined. The market risk on these contracts is mitigated through
appropriate interest rate instruments as well as contractual rights to review regular premium rates charged to clients.
Equities (listed and unlisted) are reflected at market values, which are susceptible to fluctuations. The risks from these
fluctuations can be separated into systemic risk (affecting all equity instruments) and specific risk (affecting individual securities).
In general, specific risk can be reduced through diversification, while systemic risk cannot.
The Group manages its listed equity risk by employing the following procedures:
• mandating specialist equity fund managers to invest in listed equities where there is an active market and where there is
access to a broad spectrum of financial information relating to the companies invested in;
• diversifying across many securities to reduce specific risk; and
• considering the risk-reward profile of holding equities and assuming appropriate risk in order to obtain higher expected returns
on assets.
• mandating asset managers and specialist alternative investment boutiques to invest in diversified pools of private equity
partnerships and other unlisted equity investments;
• achieving diversification across sector, stage, vintage and geography;
• all investments are subject to prudential limits stipulated by the Momentum Metropolitan Private Equity Investments
Committee, represented by specialist investment professionals and independent Momentum Metropolitan representatives; and
• mitigating the risk of potential subjective valuation due to the nature of unlisted investments by utilising the guideline
developed by the South African Venture Capital and Private Equity Association (SAVCA) to provide a framework for valuation
and disclosure in this regard. This framework is consistent with best practice exercised and recommended by the European
Venture Capital and Private Equity Association.

The majority of the Group’s currency exposure results from the offshore assets held by policyholder portfolios. These investments
were made for the purpose of obtaining a favourable international exposure to foreign currency and to investment value
fluctuations in terms of investment mandates, subject to limitations imposed by the South African Reserve Bank (SARB).
To the extent that offshore assets are held in respect of contracts where the contract holder benefits are a function of the returns
on the underlying assets, currency risk is minimised.
Details of currency risk contained in investments in local collective investment schemes that are not subsidiaries have not been
included in the table on the following page as the look-through principle was not applied.

39.4 Property risk
Property risk is the risk that the value of investment properties, owner-occupied properties and properties under development, as
well as participatory interest in property collective investment schemes, will fluctuate as a result of changes in rental income and
interest rates.
Property investments are made on behalf of policyholders, shareholders and other investment clients and are reflected at market
value. Diversification in property type, geographical location and tenant exposure are all used to reduce the risk exposure.

Refer to note 5 for the concentration risk regarding types of properties relating to investment properties. Owner-occupied
properties mainly comprise office buildings.
The Group is also exposed to tenant default and unlet space within the investment property portfolio. There were no material
long outstanding debtors relating to tenants at 30 June 2022. The carrying amount of unlet and vacant investment property as
at 30 June 2022 was R1 380 million (2021: R1 568 million).

• The upper and lower limits of the sensitivity ranges are management’s best judgement of the range of probable changes within
a 12-month period from the reporting date. Extreme or irregular events that occur sporadically, ie not on an annual basis, have
been ignored as they are, by nature, not predictable in terms of timing.
• The liability valuation includes allowance for management actions relating to the review of premiums for whole life risk
contracts in response to enduring interest rate risk in accordance with policy conditions and fair treatment of customers.
Allowance for premium reviews amounting to R487 million in the interest rate decrease scenario (2021: R0 million) is included
in the results presented.
• In line with the Group's current practice and accounting policy, the investment variances from insurance contracts were
stabilised. As at 30 June 2022, the Group’s investment stabilisation reserve had a balance of R179 million (2021: R187 million).
• The change in equity prices was assumed to be a permanent change.
• Future dividend yields were assumed to remain unchanged.
• No change was assumed in expected future returns and discount rates used in valuing liabilities as a result of changes in equity prices.
• The expected future real rates of return were assumed to remain unchanged.
• Future inflation rates were assumed to change in line with interest rates.
• Sensitivities on expected taxation have not been provided.
The impact of the change in interest rates is addressed by ensuring that contract holder liabilities and assets are matched within
approved risk limits and tolerances and continuously monitored to ensure that no significant mismatching losses will arise due to
a shift in the yield curve or a change in the shape of the yield curve.
Currency sensitivity
The impact of changes in currency on earnings and equity for the Group is not considered to be material. Refer to note 39.3 for
more details on the Group’s currency exposure.
40 CREDIT RISK
This is the risk of losses arising from the potential that a counterparty will fail to meet its obligations in accordance with agreed
terms. It arises from investment and non-investment activities, such as reinsurance credit risk, amounts due from intermediaries
and policy loans.
Credit risk could also arise from the decrease in value of an asset because of a deterioration of creditworthiness (which may
give rise to the downgrading of counterparties). Credit risk arises from investments in debt securities, funds on deposit and other
money market instruments, unit-linked investments, derivative financial instruments, reinsurance debtors, loans to policy holders
and other loans and receivables in the shareholder and guaranteed portfolios as well as linked portfolios.
Where instruments are held to back investment-linked contract liabilities, the policyholder carries the credit risk. Where
instruments are held in cell captive arrangements, where the cell owner takes the risk, the credit risk is also transferred.
The CIC is a subcommittee of the Group Executive Committee. This committee reports to the Group’s Executive Committee on
the effectiveness of credit risk management and provides an overview of the Group’s shareholder credit portfolio. The CIC and its
subcommittees are responsible for the approval of relevant credit policies and the ongoing review of the Group credit exposure.
This includes the monitoring of the following:
Independent oversight is also provided by the Board Risk, Capital and Compliance Committee.
The approval framework for new credits consists of two committees, namely an Executive Credit Committee and the BSM Credit
Committee. The BSM Credit Committee consists of senior credit executives and independent senior management executives. The
Executive Credit Committee consists of Group Executive Committee members and senior management executives. The Executive
Credit Committee approves credits in excess of the mandate and limits of the BSM Credit Committee.
GROUP REPORTS
Managing credit risk continued
The following are taken into account in the approval process:
• The underlying nature of the instrument and credit strength of the counterparty.
• The credit rating of the issuer, either internally generated or external from Moody’s, S&P or Global Credit Ratings (GCR).
• Current exposure and portfolio diversification effects.
To achieve the above, an internal credit risk function performs ongoing risk management of the credit portfolio which includes:
• The use of stochastic portfolio credit risk modelling in order to gauge the level of portfolio credit risk, consider levels of capital
and identify sources of concentration risk and the implications thereof.
• Preparing credit applications and performing annual reviews.
Regular risk management reporting to the CIC includes credit risk exposure reporting, which contains relevant data on the counterparty,
credit limits and ratings (internal and external). Counterparty exposures in excess of set credit limits are monitored and corrective
action is taken where required.
CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Credit mitigation instruments are used where appropriate. These include collateral, netting agreements and guarantees or
credit derivatives.
Concentration risk
Concentration risk is managed at the credit portfolio level. The nature thereof differs according to segment. Concentration risk
management in the credit portfolio is based on individual name limits and exposures (which are reported to and approved by the CIC)
and the monitoring of industry concentrations. A sophisticated simulation portfolio model has been implemented to quantify
concentration risk and its potential impact on the credit portfolio.
Unit-linked investments
The Group is exposed to credit risk generated by debt instruments which are invested by collective investment schemes and other
unit-linked investments in which the Group invests. The Group’s exposure to these funds is classified at fund level (refer to note 43
ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
stipulated in the fund’s mandate. These rules limit the extent to which fund managers can invest in unlisted and/or unrated
credit assets and generally restrict funds to the acquisition of investment grade assets. Further credit risk reduction measures
are obligatory for South African collective investment schemes as required by control clauses within the Collective Investment
Scheme Control Act, 45 of 2002.
Derivative contracts
The Group enters into derivative contracts with A-rated local banks on terms set out by the industry standard International Swaps
and Derivatives Agreements (ISDA). In terms of these ISDA agreements, derivative assets and liabilities can be set off with the
same counterparty, resulting in only the net exposure being included in the overall group counterparty exposure analysis.
For OTC equity index options, the credit risk is managed through the creditworthiness of the counterparty in terms of the Group’s
credit risk exposure policy. For OTC interest rate swaps, the Group enters into margining arrangements with counterparties, which
limit the exposure to each counterparty to a level commensurate with the counterparty’s credit rating and the value-at-risk in the
portfolio. For exchange-traded options, credit risk is largely mitigated through the formal trading mechanism of the derivative
exchange.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Scrip lending agreements are governed by Global Master Securities Lending Agreement (GMSLA). The main risk in scrip lending
activities is the risk of default by the borrower of securities, ie the borrower fails to return the borrowed securities. Borrower default
risk is mitigated by either requiring borrowers to post adequate levels of high-quality collateral and/or by the use of indemnity
guarantees from the borrowers.
Where collateral is received, the Group monitors collateral levels on a daily basis and the status of collateral coverage is reported
to the executive BSM on a quarterly basis. This collateral serves as security for the scrip lending arrangements in the event
of default by the borrowers. Where the borrower default risk is mitigated by means other than collateral, the Group monitors
the counterparty credit exposure to be within approved limits and the Group ensures that the credit risk capital is held against
counterparty credit exposure.
Policy loans
The Group’s policy is to lapse a policy automatically where the policy loan debt exceeds the surrender value of the policy. There
is therefore little risk that policy loan debt will remain irrecoverable. Consequently, the policy is considered to be collateral for the
debt. The fair value of the collateral is considered to be the value of the policy.
Policy loans are secured by policies issued by the Group. In terms of the regulations applicable to the Group, the value of policy loans
may not exceed the value of the policy and as a result the policy loans are fully collateralised by assets which the Group owns.
Reinsurance
The Group only enters into reinsurance treaties with reinsurers registered with the PA. The credit rating of the Company is
assessed when placing the business and when there is a change in the status of the reinsurer. If a reinsurer fails to pay a claim,
the Group remains liable for the payment to the contract holder.
The reinsurers contracted represent subsidiaries of large international reinsurance companies, and no material instances of
default have yet been encountered.
Regular monthly reconciliations are performed regarding claims against reinsurers, and the payment of premiums to reinsurers.
GROUP REPORTS
Financial liabilities designated at FVPL
The current fair value movements, on financial liabilities that would have otherwise been classified as at amortised cost or FVOCI
under IFRS 9, but which have been designated at FVPL, include R26 million (2021: R90 million) loss attributable to change in own
credit risk.
In April 2022, Moody’s updated their credit opinion for MML’s and Guardrisk Group. In the Moody’s credit opinion MML’s IFS ratings
remained at Ba1 on an international scale and the national scale rating remained at Aaa.za. The Guardrisk’s IFS ratings remained
at Ba2 on an international scale and the national scale rating of Aaa.za. Moody’s changed their credit outlook from negative
outlook to stable outlook. The changes in the credit ratings outlook follows the change in the credit outlook for the sovereign credit
rating outlook from negative to stable in April 2022.

Linked notes
The Group has put options with Rand Merchant Bank (RMB) against the linked notes listed and issued by RMB for the guaranteed
capital amounts invested which are exercisable when the market value of the underlying instruments supporting the notes
decreases below the guaranteed amounts. The carrying amount of these investments included in other debt securities at FVPL
was R503 million at 30 June 2022 (2021: R535 million).
The carrying value of scrip on loan in the current year was R1 051 million (2021: R2 254 million) and consisted of local listed equity
securities. There is collateral of R1 239 million (2021: R2 609 million) on the scrip lent.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The receivables arising from investment contracts are limited to and secured by the underlying value of the unpaid policy benefits
in terms of the policy contract.
Policy loans of R1 004 million (2021: R1 057 million) are limited to and secured by the underlying value of the unpaid policy
benefits. For further details refer to note 7.6. The underlying value of the policy benefits exceeds the policy loan value.
Other receivables
Amounts receivable in terms of long-term insurance contracts and investment contracts with DPF are limited to and secured by
the underlying value of the unpaid policy benefits in terms of the policy contract. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
As a result of exercising control over these schemes and other investment products, the Group’s risk management framework is
applicable to the risk management of these portfolios.
Because of the specific nature of this type of business, the risk management principles may be applied differently to managing the
risks relevant to them. This section describes how the financial risk management of the schemes differs from the overall financial
risk management.
The management company has a dedicated independent risk unit that continuously monitors the overall risk of the portfolios
against stated mandate limits and the portfolio risk appetites over time. To avoid conflicts of interest, the unit is separate from
the investment team and reports directly to the chief risk officer of the management company.
When considering any new investment for a portfolio, the risks and expected returns are critical elements in the investment decision.
Before an instrument is included in a portfolio, risks are carefully considered at instrument and portfolio level. The portfolio’s
mandate is also assessed.
A portfolio’s market risk appetite is measured as a function of current market conditions and its investment objective and mandate
in conjunction with its relevant benchmark.
Credit and liquidity risk are mitigated through diversification of issuers in line with credit policy. All amounts disclosed include
amounts attributable to the consolidated collective investment portfolios.
The collective investment schemes and other investment products not consolidated are included in note 43 as Collective
investment schemes and Investments in associates. These are designated at FVPL.

GROUP REPORTS
A structured entity is one that has been designed so that voting or similar rights are not the dominant factor in deciding who
controls it. The Group considers certain CISs and other unit-linked investments to be structured entities. This note provides
information on significant unconsolidated structured entities in which the Group holds an interest.
The category of unit-linked investments with no ASISA classification has been assessed based on the mandate and objective of
the fund, with reference to the ASISA classification guidelines. Where the Group is the contract holder of investment contracts
at another institution, but does not have title to the underlying investment assets, it has been allocated to the class of underlying
asset composition/exposure that exceeds 80%. If no single asset composition exceeds 80%, it has been allocated to the mixed
asset class.
Unlisted and unquoted unit-linked instruments are mainly exposed to equity, comprising investments in hedge funds and private

includes investments where the exposure is subject to the underlying investments, comprising investments in pooled funds as
well as investments backing policies where the Group is the policyholder of an investment contract issued by other insurance
companies.

GROUP REPORTS
The Group’s in-house valuation experts perform the valuations of financial assets required for financial reporting purposes.
Discussions of valuation processes and results are held at least bi-annually, in line with the Group’s bi-annual reporting dates.
The valuation of the Group’s assets and liabilities has been classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance
of the inputs used in the valuation. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
• Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1)
• Input other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (ie prices) or
indirectly (ie derived from prices) (level 2)
• Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (level 3).
The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety is determined on the
basis of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. If a fair value measurement uses
observable inputs that require significant adjustment based on unobservable inputs, that measurement is a level 3 measurement.
Assessing the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgement, considering
factors specific to the asset or liability.
Instruments classified as level 1 have been valued using published price quotations in an active market and include the following
classes of financial assets and liabilities:

This relates to dividend offers made during the year.

In terms of the MMH LTIP rules, the date at which the achievement of performance conditions is measured, is prior to the ultimate vesting date. After year 3
of the scheme, the measurement of performance and the vesting percentage in respect of all units is confirmed. Vesting and settlement then takes place
one third on this date, one third a year thereafter, and one third two years thereafter.
3
This relates to units granted during the year, that are still outstanding at year end.
The various active LTIP tranches are set out in the table above.
The October 2019 LTIP tranche’s performance criteria are weighted 50% to business unit specific targets and 50% to Group level
targets. The Group level targets have three components, of which two are linked to normalised headline earnings (NHE) growth over
the vesting period, while the third is linked to MMH's Total Shareholder Returns (TSR) relative to its listed peers. Similarly, for business
units, two of the three vesting conditions are based on cumulative NHE over the vesting period, while a third component is based on
a business unit specific financial measure. The LTIP liability for the October 2019 LTIP tranche as at 30 June 2022 was calculated
assuming 41% of units issued in 2019 (vesting in October 2022 with settlement dates in 2022, 2023 and 2024) will vest. This follows
a recalibration of the performance criteria applicable to this tranche during F2020 in light of the adverse impact of Covid-19 and
experience to date.

The October 2020 LTIP tranche’s performance criteria are weighted 50% to business unit specific targets and 50% to Group level
targets. The Group level targets have four components, of which two are linked to NHE growth over the vesting period, while the third
is linked to Return on Equity (ROE) and the fourth is linked to MMH's TSR relative to its listed peers. Similarly, for business units, two
of the four vesting conditions are based on cumulative NHE over the vesting period while the third component is liked to a business
unit specific financial measure. Where applicable, business units have been given a ROE target for June 2023. The LTIP liability for the
October 2020 LTIP tranche as at 30 June 2022 was calculated assuming 41% of units issued in October 2020 (vesting in 2023 with
settlement dates in 2023, 2024 and 2025) will vest.
The latest LTIP tranche was issued in October 2021. Performance criteria are 100% weighted to the Group’s TSR outperforming an
equally weighted basket of listed peers (Discovery, Old Mutual and Sanlam). As at 30 June 2022 the LTIP liability for October 2021 was
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
calculated assuming 17% of units issued in October 2021 (vesting in 2024 with settlement dates in 2024, 2025 and 2026) will vest.
Compared to the ROEV assumptions used in the MMH LTIP liability calculation, an additional two percentage point increase in the
future ROEV is not expected to result in any change in the MMH LTIP cost for MMH LTIP tranches in force at 30 June 2022. This is
because the ROEV performance impacting the 2018 MMH LTIP currently falls below the threshold for vesting and would need as
much as a 19% improvement for the performance hurdle to be met. As a result, taking into account historic performance to date
(30 June 2022), the MMH LTIP liability is relatively insensitive to modest improvements in ROEV.
45.1.3 Valuation assumptions relating to outstanding MMH SAR units at 30 June 2022
The SAR features three performance criteria measured over the vesting period. One third of the scheme will vest for each
performance criterion that is met or exceeded.
Following the adverse impact of Covid-19, the Board Remuneration Committee agreed to extend the original vesting date and
performance measurement period by 12 months, and to recalibrate the original vesting conditions during F2020. The scheme will now
vest in October 2022 (as opposed to 2021) with settlement dates in 2022, 2023 and 2024. The approved performance criteria are:
For the ROEV performance condition, the Remuneration Committee will retain the right to choose the exact methodology to allow
for the adverse impact of Covid-19. Given that TSR measures relative performance against listed peers, there was no change
made to the performance criteria other than the 12-month extension to the measurement period.
The SAR award specifies a strike price, which will determine the value of vested SARs as at the vesting date. A vested SAR is
worth the greater of zero and the amount by which the MMH share price exceeds the strike price.
The volatility used in the valuation of the SAR scheme was based on market rates and determined to be 30%. The risk free rate
used within the valuations was 4.99%.
The SAR liability as at 30 June 2022 was calculated on an assumption that 59% of units issued in 2018 will vest.
Compared to the ROEV assumptions used in the SAR liability calculation, an additional increase in future ROEV of 2% would result
in a higher vesting assumption of 66% and a resulting IFRS 2 cost of R1.1 million.

45.2 Equity-settled arrangements
45.2.1 Valuation assumptions relating to outstanding iSabelo units at 30 June 2022
The valuation model
The value of the share scheme is calculated using an option based model.
At the vesting date, the value of the units held, net of the debt attributable to those units, will be used to buy MMH shares for the
holders of the vested units. Consequently, an individual unit holder in the scheme can be seen as holding a call option on MMH
shares where the exercise price is the applicable value of the scheme debt per unit at the settlement date (ie the value of the
preference shares).
All scheme debt will be settled at the end of year 10 of the scheme. Before this, the debt profile allows for the ranking of the
different debt instruments by first servicing obligations to the most senior instruments, in this case the A preference shares, and
then to the subordinated B preference shares.
CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The IFRS 2 charge for any specific issuance is then determined as the grant date fair valuation of the option adjusted for the
expected proportion of units that will reach vesting (ie attrition). The recognition profile of the expenses follows a graded vesting
pattern in line with IFRS 2 guidance.
In order to incorporate the impact of employees leaving over the scheme duration, an employee attrition rate of 14% (2021: 14%)
was used.
Key inputs
For the valuation the following key parameters were used:

The volatility used in the valuation was based on our best estimate of long-term option volatilities.
The valuation model used to determine the grant date fair value at June 2021 has been refined during F2022.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
It was noted that the valuation model used at June 2021 was a simplified approximation of the grant date fair value. The model
has been refined in the current year and as a result the 2021 grant date fair value for units awarded in June 2021 has been
corrected from 89 cents to 64 cents. The correction of the 2021 grant date fair value has been recognised as a prospective
change in the current year, as it did not give rise to a material difference in the prior year. As such, the Share-based payment
expense related to equity settled arrangements (included within employee benefit expenses – refer to note 24), has been revised
for June 2022 to counter the overstatement recognised in the June 2021 financial year. The revised expense recognised in the
current year ensures that the appropriate closing balance is disclosed and recognised in line with the refined valuation model.
Refer above for details of how the valuation model has been refined.
• Refined the share price projection to reference the risk-free rate (i.e. a risk-neutral projection)
• Refined the dividend yield assumption to a constant rate of 4% over the projection period
• Semi-annual time steps to match the coupon payments of the debt instruments
• A z-spread roll-up basis was used to model future coupon obligations beyond the contractual terms of the debt instruments
to more accurately allow for the upward sloping nature of the yield curve.
• Allowance for term-dependent discount rates over the projection period
• Updated the volatility assumption to our best estimate of long-term option volatilities based on the duration of the scheme

988 shares held in MMH in the current year and 169 in the prior year.
The Group has entered into a sales agreement for the sale of one property (Momentum Metropolitan Africa segment). This asset
has therefore been classified as held for sale. The property is classified as level 3.
In the prior year, the Group made the decision to dispose of its remaining 25% shareholding in aYo (New Initiatives segment). The
investment, as well as the related intellectual property (Momentum Metropolitan Africa segment), was classified as held for sale.
On 1 September 2021, the Group successfully disposed of this investment, for a consideration of $20 million (R287 million).
Sales agreements were entered into for the sale of three properties (Shareholders segment) during the prior year and were thus
classified as held for sale. These properties have been sold during the current year.
The Group's interest in the assets mentioned above have been classified as held for sale in the statement of financial position at the
end of the respective period. This judgement was done based on the facts and circumstances which existed at that date when a
formal assessment was made of whether the assets should be classified as held for sale. The Group is satisfied that it meets all the
criteria required in order to classify these assets as held for sale. The sale of the asset held for sale in the current year will take effect
via a cash sale and is expected to occur within the next 12 months.

Investments held in share portfolios were previously incorrectly classified as cash and cash equivalents. These share portfolios have now been correctly split into the underlying assets. June 2021 and June 2020 has been restated accordingly. Additionally, realised

The Group invests into Qualified Investor Hedge funds that, as a result of the requirements in IFRS 10 – Consolidated financial statements, are consolidated. As a result of a further detailed review of the financial instruments held by these hedge funds, a number of
refining correcting adjustments were required to the statement of financial position and income statement.
These adjustments do not impact the net asset value of the hedge fund nor that of MMH. The adjustments made in respect of the statement of financial position relate to the following:
1) the offset and classification of interest rate derivatives and carry positions.
2) the offset and recording of financed trade positions carried out in the funds.
June 2021 and June 2020 have been restated accordingly.
The adjustments made in respect of the income statement relate to the following:
1) inappropriate application of the offsetting criteria applied in respect of interest income and finance costs.
2) consolidation of the full income statement disclosures of the hedge funds, which resulted in a reclassification between the relevant lines of the income statement and fair value adjustments on CIS liabilities.
June 2021 has been restated accordingly.

In accordance with the Financial Advisory and Intermediary Services Act 37 of 2002 as well as the Policyholder Protection Rules, there is an obligation to reintermediate clients that are not linked to a financial adviser. Accumulated balances that were due
to the financial advisers originally linked to policyholders, were previously reported as other payables. However, when these financial advisers went out of force, the balance was no longer contractually payable and therefore the payable should have been
changed to a provision for the expected cost of reintermediation that is required in order to settle the obligation towards policyholders. In previous reporting periods this balance was however reported as a payable and has therefore been retrospectively
corrected from a payable to a provision to provide for the cost that is required to reintermediate these clients with in-force policies, but no financial advisers. 30 June 2021 and 1 July 2020 have been restated accordingly.
5
Fee income correction relating to the over-elimination of asset management fees received on the CISs being consolidated into the Group. 30 June 2021 has been restated accordingly.
6
The initial accounting for the AFIN acquisition was provisionally determined and was presented as preliminary at 30 June 2021. The accounting has been finalised and 30 June 2021 has been restated accordingly.

Contingency policies were previously classified as insurance contracts in accordance with IFRS 4 – Insurance contracts. After reassessing the policy wording it was identified that there is no risk transfer as the policy benefits are limited to the funds available in
the policy comprising of premiums plus investment growth less claims and policy fees. These policies should therefore have been classified as investment contract liabilities in terms of IFRS 9 - Financial instruments. 30 June 2021 and 1 July 2020 have been
restated accordingly.
8
A cell previously classified as 1st party in terms of IFRS 9 – Financial instruments, has been reassessed based on the type of business underwritten in the cell to instead be classified in terms of IFRS 4 - Insurance contracts. 30 June 2021 and 1 July 2020 have
been restated accordingly.

Long-term insurance companies are required to pay tax on behalf of policyholders according to the five-funds tax approach as required by section 29A of the South African Income Tax Act of 1962. The approach requires the insurer to collect taxation in respect

Discussions of impact of initial application of changes to standards and interpretations that are not yet effective and have not
been early adopted by the Group.
IFRS 17 – Insurance contracts
IFRS 17 – Insurance contracts (IFRS 17) will replace IFRS 4 – Insurance contracts (IFRS 4) in accounting for insurance contracts
issued, reinsurance contracts held and investment contracts with discretionary participation features and is effective for reporting
periods starting on or after 1 January 2023.
The effective date for the Group is 1 July 2023 and the 31 December 2023 interim financial statements will be the first interim

ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
of insurance service results based on the services provided to the policyholder and provision of disclosures that will enable the
users of the financial statements to assess the impact of these contracts on the financial position, financial results, and cash
flows of the entity.
Significant efforts are required to enable the production of IFRS 17 compliant financial statements, as the standard requires
actuarial model and process development as well as data enhancements. These efforts are largely coordinated by the Group,
although some subsidiaries are responsible for their own implementation projects.
Developments across life and non-life licenses have progressed, and significant areas of uncertainty have been addressed. Across
the group, the majority of development efforts have been concluded. The focus of activities is now shifting to enable business as
usual production incorporating IFRS17 as the group entered its period of parallel reporting on 1 July 2022.
The Group is actively participating in industry forums to ensure that the standard is interpreted and applied appropriately and
consistently.
The Group anticipates that some compulsory and discretionary margins might be released into equity on transition to IFRS 17.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Initial measurement
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries/business combinations by the Group.
The cost of a business combination is the fair value of the assets given at the date of acquisition, equity issued and liabilities assumed
or incurred (including contingent liabilities). This includes assets or liabilities recognised from contingent consideration arrangements.
Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration that is deemed to be an asset or liability is recognised in
accordance with IFRS 9 in profit and loss. Costs directly attributable to the business combination are expensed as incurred. The excess
of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired
is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is
recognised directly in the income statement. The Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree on an acquisition-
by-acquisition basis, either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the recognised amounts of the
acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Total comprehensive income is attributed to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling
interest shareholders even if this results in the non-controlling interest shareholders having a deficit balance.
Disposals
If the Group loses control of a subsidiary company, the gain or loss on disposal is calculated as the difference between the fair value
of the consideration received, and the carrying amount of the subsidiary's net assets and any non-controlling interest. Gains and
losses on disposal of subsidiaries are included in the income statement as net realised and unrealised fair value gains/(losses).
Any gains or losses in other comprehensive income that are allowed to be recycled to the income statement are reclassified. Other
comprehensive income amounts not reclassified to the income statement are directly transferred to retained earnings.
48.2.2 Associates
Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control. The Group’s investment in associates
includes goodwill, identified on acquisition, net of any accumulated impairment loss. The accounting policies for associates are
consistent, in all material respects, with the policies adopted by the Group.
Profits and losses resulting from transactions between group companies are recognised in the Group’s results to the extent of the
Group’s unrelated interests in the associates. Gains and losses arising on the dilution of investments in associates are recognised
in the income statement.
Measurement
Investments in associate companies are initially recognised at cost, including goodwill, and the carrying amount is increased
or decreased with the Group’s proportionate share of post-acquisition profits or losses, using the equity method of accounting.
Under this method, the Group’s share of the associate’s post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in the income statement
and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income.
The cumulative post-acquisition profit or loss and movements in other comprehensive income are adjusted against the carrying
amount of the investments. The equity method is discontinued from the date that the Group ceases to have significant influence
over the associate. When significant influence is lost, any remaining interest in the entity is remeasured to fair value, and a gain or
loss is recognised in the income statement.
GROUP REPORTS
48.2 Consolidation continued
48.2.2 Associates continued
Measurement continued
Investments in CISs where the Group has significant influence are recognised at FVPL and are not equity accounted where
they back contract holder liabilities, based on the scope exemption in IAS 28 – Investments in associates and joint ventures for
investment-linked insurance funds. Initial measurement is at fair value on trade date, with subsequent measurement at fair value
based on quoted repurchase prices at the close of business on the last trading day on or before the reporting date. Fair value
adjustments on CISs are recognised in the income statement. The related income from these schemes is recognised as interest
or dividends received, as appropriate.
Impairment
Under the equity method, the carrying amount is tested for impairment at reporting dates by comparing the recoverable amount
with the carrying amount.
CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
48.2.3 Joint arrangements
The Group applies IFRS 11 to all joint arrangements. Under IFRS 11 investments in joint arrangements are classified as either joint
operations or joint ventures depending on the contractual rights and obligations of each investor. Joint ventures are accounted for
using the equity method.
Measurement
Interests in joint ventures are initially recognised at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the Group’s share of the post-
acquisition profits or losses and movements in other comprehensive income.
Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in
the joint ventures. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset
transferred. Accounting policies of the joint ventures have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies
adopted by the Group.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each entity in the Group are measured using the currency that best reflects the
primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency). The consolidated financial statements
are presented in South African rand (the presentation currency), which is the functional currency of the parent. The financial
statements have been rounded to the nearest R million.
Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets and liabilities, measured at FVPL, are recognised as part of their fair
value gain or loss.
Subsidiary undertakings
Foreign entities are entities of the Group that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency. Assets and
liabilities of these entities are translated into the presentation currency at the rates of exchange ruling at the reporting date.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Income and expenditure are translated into the presentation currency at the average rate of exchange for the year.
On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign entities are recognised in the
foreign currency translation reserve in other comprehensive income. On disposal, such exchange differences are recognised in the
income statement as part of net realised and unrealised fair value gains.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign
entity and translated at the closing rate.
Goodwill on acquisition of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets whereas goodwill on acquisition of associates is included in
investment in associates.
When the interest acquired in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities exceeds the cost of the
business combination, the difference is recognised directly in the income statement.
Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.
Impairment
At the acquisition date, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to CGUs that are expected to benefit from the
synergy of the combination in which the goodwill arose. CGUs to which goodwill has been allocated are assessed annually for
impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment. An impairment loss is
recognised whenever the carrying amount of the CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, being the higher of value in use and the fair
value less costs to sell. Any impairment losses are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to a CGU
and then to reduce the carrying amount of other assets on a pro rata basis. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed.
Measurement
The fair value calculation of VOBA on acquisition is based on actuarial principles that take into account future premium and fee
income, claim outgo, mortality, morbidity and persistency probabilities together with future costs and investment returns on the
underlying assets. The profits are discounted at a rate of return allowing for the risk of uncertainty of the future cash flows. This
calculation is particularly sensitive to the assumptions regarding discount rate, future investment returns and the rate at which
policies discontinue.
The asset is subsequently amortised over the expected life of the contracts as the profits of the related contracts emerge.
Impairment
VOBA is reviewed for impairment losses through the liability adequacy test and written down for impairment if necessary.
Measurement
The asset represents the Group’s right to benefit from the above services and is amortised on a straight-line basis over the period
in which the Group expects to recognise the related revenue, which is between three and 10 years.
Impairment
The right is reviewed for impairment losses whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may
not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised in the income statement for the amount by which the carrying amount of the
asset exceeds its recoverable amount.
GROUP REPORTS
48.4 Intangible assets continued
48.4.4 Deferred acquisition costs (DAC)
On long-term investment business
Incremental costs that are directly attributable to securing rights to receive fees for asset management services sold with
investment contracts are recognised as an asset if the entity expects to recover them. The incremental costs of obtaining a
contract are those costs that an entity incurs to obtain a contract with a customer that it would not have incurred if the contract
had not been obtained. The asset represents the contractual right to benefit from receiving fees for providing investment
management services, and is amortised over the policy term, as a constant percentage of expected gross profit margins
(including investment income) arising from the contract or on a straight-line basis. The pattern of expected profit margins
is based on historical and expected future experience and is updated at the end of each accounting period.
CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Impairment
An impairment test is conducted annually at reporting date on the DAC balance to ensure that the amount will be recovered from
future revenue generated by the applicable remaining investment management contracts. An impairment loss is recognised for
the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount.
Measurement
The brand and broker networks are initially measured at fair value. As there is generally no active market for these intangibles, the
fair value is determined with reference to the price that would be received to sell an asset in an orderly transaction between market
participants at the measurement date, on the basis of the best information available. In determining this amount, the Group
considers the outcome of recent transactions for similar assets, for example, the Group applies multiples reflecting current market
ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Subsequently, the brand and broker networks are amortised over their expected useful lives using the straight-line method. The brands
are amortised over 15 to 20 years and the broker networks over five to 20 years.
Impairment
The brand and broker networks are reviewed for impairment losses whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that
the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the carrying amount of
the asset exceeds its recoverable amount, being the higher of value in use and fair value less cost to sell.
are amortised over their useful lives, up to 10 years, using the straight-line method.
Costs associated with research or maintaining computer software programmes are recognised as an expense as incurred.
Impairment
Computer software not ready for use is tested for impairment annually. Computer software in use is reviewed for impairment
losses whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment
loss is recognised for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the latter being the
higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value in use.
Measurement
Owner-occupied properties are stated at revalued amounts, being fair value reflective of market conditions at the reporting date.
Fair value is determined using DCF techniques which present values the net rental income, discounted for the different types of
properties at the market rates applicable at the reporting date. Where considered necessary, significant properties are valued
externally by an independent valuator, at least in a three-year cycle, to confirm the fair value of the portfolio.
Increases in the carrying amount arising on revaluation of buildings are credited to a land and building revaluation reserve in other
comprehensive income. Decreases that offset previous increases in respect of the same asset are charged against the revaluation
reserve, and all other decreases are charged to the income statement.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is
probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured
reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they
are incurred.
Depreciation
Owner-occupied property buildings are depreciated on a straight-line basis, over 50 years, to allocate their revalued amounts
less their residual values over their estimated useful lives. Property and equipment related to the buildings are depreciated over
five to 20 years. Land is not depreciated. The residual values and useful lives are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted
if appropriate.
Accumulated depreciation relating to these properties is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the properties and the
net amount is restated to the revalued amount. Subsequent depreciation charges are adjusted based on the revalued amount for
each property.
Disposals
When owner-occupied properties are sold or when the properties are no longer classified as owner-occupied, the amounts
included in the land and buildings revaluation reserve are transferred to retained earnings.
Measurement
Investment properties comprise freehold land and buildings and are carried at fair value, reflective of market conditions at the
reporting date, less the related cumulative accelerated rental income receivable. Fair value is determined as being the present
value of net rental income, discounted for the different types of properties at the market rates applicable at the reporting date. All
properties are internally valued on a bi-annual basis and where considered necessary, significant properties are valued externally
by an independent valuator, at least in a three-year cycle, to confirm the fair value of the portfolio. The accelerated rental income
receivable represents the cumulative difference between rental income on a straight-line basis and the accrual basis. Subsequent
expenditure is charged to the asset’s carrying amount only when it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with
the item will flow to the Group and the cost can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are charged to the
income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Investment properties that are being redeveloped for continuing use as investment property, or for which the market has become
less active, continue to be measured at fair value.
Undeveloped land is valued at fair value based on recent market activity in the area.
GROUP REPORTS
48.6 Investment properties continued
Properties held under leases
Properties held under leases are classified as investment property right-of-use assets when the properties are sublet and not
occupied by the Group. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs
incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. These properties are
carried at fair value after initial recognition.
CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Group classifies its financial assets in the following main categories:
The classification of financial instruments is based on contractual cash flows characteristics and models through which financial
instruments are managed (business model).
For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or other comprehensive income. For
investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading, the Group has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial
recognition to not account for the equity investments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).
The Group reclassifies debt investments when its business model for managing those assets changes.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
– Amortised cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely
payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost.
– FVOCI: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets’
cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at FVOCI.
– FVPL: Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVOCI are measured mandatorily at FVPL. The Group
designates debt securities and funds on deposit and other money market instruments at FVPL upon initial recognition when
it eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency, referred to as an accounting mismatch,
that would otherwise arise as a result of movements in related liabilities being recorded in profit or loss.
• Equity instruments
The Group subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. The Group’s management has elected to not present
fair value gains and losses on equity instruments in other comprehensive income. All fair value gains and losses on equity
instruments are recognised in the income statement.
Purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade date, being the date on which the Group commits to purchase or
sell the financial assets. These are recognised as unsettled trades until the settlement date occurs. Financial assets are initially
recognised at fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at FVPL, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the
acquisition of the asset. Transaction costs that are not recognised as part of the financial asset are expensed in the income
statement in net realised and unrealised fair value gains.
Financial assets at FVPL is subsequently carried at fair value. Financial assets at amortised cost is recognised initially at fair value
and subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method less provision for impairment. Impairments
are included in depreciation, amortisation and impairment expenses in the statement of comprehensive income.
For financial assets at amortised cost, the Group determines at each reporting date whether there has been a significant increase
in credit risk since initial recognition of the financial asset by assessing the likelihood or risk of default occurring since initial
recognition based on all reasonable and supportable information that is indicative of significant increases in credit risk since initial
recognition. Where there is no significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition or for assets that have low credit risk at
reporting date, a 12 month expected credit loss is recognised. Where a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition
occurred a lifetime expected credit loss is calculated.
The Group views financial assets at amortised cost to be low credit risk when there is a low risk of default and the borrower has
the strong capacity to meet its contractual cash flow obligations in the near term.
Impairment losses on financial assets at amortised cost, other than impairments relating to amounts due from agents, brokers
and intermediaries, are presented as net impairment losses within profit or loss. Impairment losses on amounts due from agents,
brokers and intermediaries, are presented as part of sales remuneration within profit and loss. Subsequent recoveries of amounts
previously written off are credited against the same line item.
Offsetting
Financial assets and liabilities were set off and the net balance reported in the statement of financial position where there was
a legally enforceable right to set off, where it is the intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability
simultaneously, where the maturity date for the financial asset and liability was the same, and where the financial asset and
liability were denominated in the same currency.
Scrip lending
The equities or bonds on loan by the Group, and not the collateral security, are reflected in the statement of financial position of
the Group at year end. Scrip lending fees received are included under fee income. The Group continues to recognise the related
income on the equities and bonds on loan. Collateral held is not recognised in the financial statements unless the risks and
rewards relating to the asset have passed to the Group.
GROUP REPORTS
48.8 Derivative financial instruments
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently
remeasured at their fair value. The method of recognising the resulting fair value gain or loss depends on whether the derivative is
designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged. Fair values are obtained from quoted market
prices in active markets, including recent market transactions, and valuation techniques, including DCF and option pricing models,
as appropriate. All derivatives are carried as assets when fair value is positive and as liabilities when fair value is negative, subject
to the offsetting principles as described under the financial assets accounting policies above.
The best evidence of the fair value of a derivative at initial recognition is the transaction price (that is, the fair value of the
consideration given or received) unless the fair value of that instrument is evidenced by comparison with other observable current
market transactions in the same instrument (that is, without modification or repackaging), or is based on a valuation technique
whose variables include only observable market data.
When unobservable market data has an impact on the valuation of derivatives, the entire initial change in fair value indicated by
the valuation model is not recognised immediately in the income statement but over the life of the transaction on an appropriate
CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
basis, or when the input becomes observable, or when the derivative matures or is closed out.
The subsequent fair value of exchange-traded derivatives is based on a closing market price while the value of OTC derivatives is
determined by using valuation techniques that incorporate all factors that market participants would consider in setting the price.
Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments are recognised immediately in the income statement within net realised and
unrealised fair value gains and losses.
Embedded derivative liabilities are separated and fair-valued through income when they are not closely related to their host
contracts and meet the definition of a derivative, or where the host contract is not carried at fair value.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
48.10 Long-term and non-life insurance and investment contracts
The contracts issued by the Group transfer insurance risk, financial risk or both. As a result of the different risks transferred by
contracts, contracts are separated into investment and insurance contracts for the purposes of valuation and profit recognition.
Insurance contracts are those contracts that transfer significant insurance risk to the Group, whereas investment contracts only
transfer financial risk.
The classification of contracts is performed at the inception of each contract. The classification of the contract at inception
remains the classification of the contract for the remainder of its lifetime. There is one exception to this principle:
• If the terms of an investment contract change significantly, the original contract is derecognised and a new contract is
recognised with the new classification.
Classification of contracts
Investment contracts
Investment contracts are those where only financial risk is transferred.
Financial risk is the risk of a possible future change in one or more of a specified interest rate, financial instrument price,
commodity price, foreign exchange rate, index of prices or rates, credit rating or credit index or other variable, provided that in the
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
case of a non-financial variable, the variable is not specific to a party to the contract.
For cell captive business, contracts that transfer financial risk with no significant insurance risk are accounted for as financial
instruments (investment contracts designated at FVPL) eg first-party cells. For these arrangements, only contract management
fee income and investment income and net realised and unrealised fair value gains accruing to the promoter are included in the
Group’s income statement. On the statement of financial position, premium debtors and insurance liabilities relating to these
arrangements are excluded.
Insurance risk is risk, other than financial risk, transferred from the holder of a contract to the issuer. Insurance risk is deemed
significant if an insured event could cause an insurer to pay benefits (net of accumulated income and account balances) on the
occurrence of an insured event that are significantly more than the benefits payable if the insured event did not occur.
For cell captive business, insurance policies are issued in third-party cell captive structures or contingency policies. The Group
also accepts insurance and reinsurance inwards risks directly, eg where the promoter cell shares in the underwriting experience of
selected cell arrangements. All items relating to these arrangements are included in the Group’s income statement and statement
of financial position, except for contract management fees.
Insurance contracts may transfer financial risk as well as insurance risk. However, in all instances where significant insurance risk
is transferred, the contract is classified as an insurance contract.
Assumptions used in the valuation basis are reviewed on a regular basis, most commonly annually, and any non-economic
changes in estimates are reflected in the income statement as they occur. Economic changes in estimate are stabilised as they
occur, except for negative changes that exceed available stabilisation reserves in which case the excess is reflected in the income
statement and future positive changes are reflected in the income statement to the extent of any prior losses incurred. Where
stabilisation reserves are held, they are reflected in the income statement according to a specified release pattern.
The valuation bases used for the major classes of contract liabilities, before the addition of the margins described under the
heading of compulsory and discretionary margins below, are as follows:
• For group smoothed bonus business, the liability is taken as the sum of the fund accounts, being the retrospective accumulation
of premiums net of charges and benefit payments at the declared bonus rates.
• For individual smoothed bonus business, the liability is taken as the sum of the fund accounts less the present value of future
charges not required for risk benefits and expenses.
• For with-profit annuity business, the liability is taken as the discounted value of projected future benefit payments and expenses.
Future bonuses are provided for at bonus rates supported by the assumed future investment return.
• For the above three classes of business, BSAs are held in addition to the liabilities described above. In the case of smoothed
bonus business, the BSA is equal to the difference between the market value of the underlying assets and the fund accounts. In
the case of with-profit annuity business, the BSA is equal to the difference between the market value of the underlying assets and
the discounted value of projected future benefit payments and expenses. BSAs are included in contract holder liabilities.
• For conventional with-profit business, the liability is the present value of benefits less premiums, where the level of benefits is set
to that supportable by the asset share.
• For individual market-related business, the liability is taken as the fair value of the underlying assets less the present value of
future charges not required for risk benefits and expenses.
• For conventional non-profit business, including non-profit annuities and Group PHI business, the liability is taken as the difference
between the discounted value of future expenses and benefit payments and the discounted value of future premium receipts.
• Provision is made for the estimated cost of incurred but not yet reported (IBNR) claims for all relevant classes of business as at
the reporting date. IBNR provisions are calculated using run-off triangle methods or percentages of premium based on historical
experience or else implicit allowance is made where appropriate. Outstanding reported claims are disclosed in other payables.
• A number of contracts contain embedded derivatives in the form of financial options and investment guarantees. Liabilities
in respect of these derivatives are fair-valued in accordance with the guidelines in APN 110 – Allowance for embedded
investment derivatives. Stochastic models are used to determine a best estimate of the time value as well as the intrinsic value
of these derivatives.

Compulsory and discretionary margins
In the valuation of liabilities, provision is made for the explicit compulsory margins as required by SAP 104 – Calculation of the
value of the assets, liabilities and solvency capital requirement of long-term insurers. Discretionary margins are held in addition
to the compulsory margins. These discretionary margins are used to ensure that profit and risk margins in the premiums are not
capitalised prematurely so that profits are recognised in line with product design, and in line with the risks borne by the Group.
• For certain books of business which are ring-fenced per historic merger or take-over arrangements, liabilities are held to ensure
appropriate capitalisation of future profits in line with the terms of the related agreements.
• Additional prospective margins are held in respect of premium and decrement assumptions and asset-related fees on certain
product lines to avoid the premature recognition of profits that may give rise to future losses if claims experience turns out to
be worse than expected. This allows profits to be recognised in the period in which the risks are borne by the Group.
CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
• For certain books of business, future charges arising from the surrender of smoothed bonus individual policies are not
recognised until surrender occurs.
• Liabilities for immediate annuities are set equal to the present value of expected future annuity payments and expenses,
discounted using an appropriate market-related yield curve as at the reporting date. The yield curve is based on risk-free
securities (either fixed or CPI-linked, depending on the nature of the corresponding liability), adjusted for credit and liquidity
spreads of the assets actually held in the portfolio. Implicit allowance is made for expected credit losses to avoid a reduction in
liabilities caused by capitalisation of credit spreads.
• For cell captive business, the tax charged to each cell does not always equal the total tax liability of the company since certain
cells have calculated tax losses. Instead of crediting the cells with the resulting tax asset, the tax assets are accumulated in
a separate cell, and notionally allocated to their respective cells. The amount in this cell is raised as a discretionary margin.
In the event that a cell with a tax asset is able to utilise that asset against a future tax liability, the tax asset will be reduced or
eliminated accordingly.
Embedded derivatives

Embedded derivatives that are separated from the host contract are carried at FVPL.
are dependent on the expected claims and benefits arising under the related reinsured insurance contracts. Amounts recoverable
from or due to reinsurers are measured consistently with the amounts associated with the reinsured insurance contracts and in
accordance with the terms of each contract.
• The first consists of reinsurance liabilities which are payable to registered reinsurers, in terms of a reinsurance agreement and
includes premiums payable for reinsurance contracts which are recognised as an expense when due. These premiums are
included in other payables.
• The second type consists of reinsurance contracts which the Group has with third-party cell owners. The agreements in place
with these cell owners are such that the cell owner acts as reinsurer to the Group for the business which the cell brings to
the Group. The risks and rewards of insurance policies relating to these cells are passed on to the cell owner, and the Group
retains no insurance risk relating to these policies on a net basis. The Group therefore has an obligation to pay the net results
relating to the insurance business in the cell to the cell owner as a result of these agreements. This obligation is deemed to be
a reinsurance arrangement and is disclosed as part of insurance contract liabilities.
• The third type consists of a financial reinsurance agreement with a registered reinsurer, whereby the reinsurer provides upfront
funding to a cell within the Group, with the cell then repaying this funding over an agreed term. The liability associated with this
repayment is disclosed as part of reinsurance contract liabilities and is valued consistently with the DCF approach used for
insurance contract liabilities.
Reinsurance premiums
Reinsurance premiums are recognised when due for payment.
Reinsurance recoveries
Reinsurance recoveries are accounted for in the same period as the related claim.
Acquisition costs
Acquisition costs, disclosed as sales remuneration, consist of commission payable on long-term insurance contracts and
investment contracts with DPF and expenses directly related thereto (including bonuses payable to sales staff and the Group’s
contribution to their retirement and medical aid funds). These costs are expensed when incurred. The FSV basis makes implicit
allowance for the recoupment of acquisition costs; therefore no explicit deferred acquisition cost asset is recognised in the
statement of financial position for contracts valued on this basis.
GROUP REPORTS
48.10 Long-term and non-life insurance and investment contracts continued
Investment contracts
The Group designates investment contract liabilities at FVPL upon initial recognition as their fair value is dependent on the
fair value of underlying financial assets, derivatives and/or investment properties that are carried at FVPL. The Group follows
this approach because it eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency, referred to as an
accounting mismatch, that would otherwise arise from measuring assets or liabilities or recognising the gains and losses on
them on different bases.
Measurement
The Group issues investment contracts without fixed terms and contracts with fixed terms and guaranteed terms.
Investment contracts without fixed terms are financial liabilities whose fair value is dependent on the fair value of underlying
financial asset portfolios that can include derivatives and are designated at inception as at FVPL.
For investment contracts without fixed terms, fair value is determined using the current unit values that reflect the fair value of
the financial assets contained within the Group’s unitised investment funds linked to the related financial liability, multiplied by the
CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
number of units attributed to the contract holders at the valuation date.
A financial liability is recognised in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Group becomes party to the
contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value.
The fair value of financial liabilities is never less than the amount payable on surrender, discounted for the required notice period,
where applicable.
For investment contracts with fixed and guaranteed terms (guaranteed endowments and term certain annuities), valuation
techniques are used to establish the fair value at inception and at each reporting date. The valuation model values the liabilities as
the present value of the maturity values, using appropriate market-related yields to maturity. If liabilities calculated in this manner
fall short of the single premium paid at inception of the policy, the liability is increased to the level of the single premium, to ensure
that no profit is recognised at inception. This deferred profit liability is recognised in profit or loss over the life of the contract
based on factors relevant to a market participant, including the passing of time.
For investment contracts where investment management services are rendered and the contracts provide for minimum
ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Deferred revenue liability (DRL)
A DRL is recognised in respect of fees paid at inception of the contract by the policyholder that are directly attributable to a contract.
The DRL is then released to revenue as the investment management services are provided over the expected duration of the contract,
as a constant percentage of expected gross profit margins (including investment income) arising from the contract. The pattern of
expected profit margins is based on historical and expected future experience and is updated at the end of each accounting period.
The resulting change to the carrying amount of the DRL is recognised in revenue and falls within the scope of IFRS 15.
Claims
Claims incurred consist of claims and (un)allocated claims handling expenses paid during the financial year together with the
movement in the provision for outstanding claims. Outstanding claims comprise provisions for the Group's estimate of the
ultimate cost of settling all claims incurred but unpaid at the reporting date, whether reported or not. Estimates are calculated
based on the most recent cost experience of similar claims and include an appropriate risk margin for unexpected variances
between the actual cost and the estimate. Where applicable, deductions are made for salvage and other recoveries.
• for claims notified but not settled at the reporting date, using case estimates determined on a claim-by-claim basis; and
• for claims IBNR claims at the reporting date, using generally accepted actuarial techniques.
Reinsurance recoveries
Reinsurance recoveries are accounted for in the same period as the related claim.
Cashback provisions
Certain insurance contracts offer cashback rewards to policyholders upon the fulfilment of predetermined criteria. A provision is
made for such cashback rewards based on the premium accrued by each policyholder at the reporting date, taking into account
the necessary decrements and, where applicable, the impact of future investment returns.
The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial liabilities were acquired. Management determines the
classification of its financial liabilities at initial recognition.
A financial liability is classified as held for trading at inception if it is acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short
term. Derivatives are classified as held for trading, unless they are designated as hedges. Derivatives held for trading are
classified as mandatorily at FVPL.
– eliminating or significantly reducing an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise from measuring assets and
liabilities or recognising the gains and losses on them on different bases; or
– managed, with their performance being evaluated on a fair value basis; or
– a financial instrument that includes a significant embedded derivative that clearly requires bifurcation.
A financial liability is recognised in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Group becomes a party to the
contractual provisions of the instrument.
Issues and settlements of financial liabilities are recognised on trade date, being the date on which the Group commits to issuing
or settling the financial liabilities.
The fair value of financial liabilities quoted in active markets is based on current market prices. Alternatively, where an active market
does not exist, fair value is derived from cash flow models or other appropriate valuation models allowing for the Group’s own credit
risk. These include the use of arm’s length transactions, DCF analysis, option pricing models and other valuation techniques commonly
used by market participants, making maximum use of market input and relying as little as possible on entity-specific input.
Financial liabilities are derecognised when they are extinguished, ie when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged,
cancelled or expires.
GROUP REPORTS
48.11 Financial liabilities continued
Recognition and measurement continued
Financial liabilities, such as callable notes which are listed on the JSE interest rate market, carry positions (refer below) and CIS
liabilities (representing the units in CISs where the Group consolidates the CISs and is required to disclose the value of the units not
held by the Group as liabilities) are managed, with their performance being evaluated on a fair value basis and designated at FVPL.
These financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value, with transaction costs being expensed in the income statement, and are
subsequently carried at fair value. Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the value of financial liabilities
at FVPL are included in the income statement in the period in which they arise. Changes in the fair value of the financial liability that
relates to changes in own credit risk is recognised in other comprehensive income if it does not create an accounting mismatch.
Interest on the callable notes and carry positions are disclosed separately as finance costs using the effective interest rate method.
Carry positions
Carry positions consist of sale and repurchase of assets agreements. These agreements contain the following instruments:
• Repurchase agreements: financial liabilities consisting of financial instruments sold with an agreement to repurchase these
CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
instruments at a fixed price at a later date. These financial liabilities are classified as financial liabilities at FVPL.
• Reverse repurchase agreements: financial assets consisting of financial instruments purchased with an agreement to sell these
instruments at a fixed price at a later date. These financial assets are classified as financial instruments at FVPL.
Where financial instruments are sold subject to a commitment to repurchase them, the financial instrument is not derecognised
and remains in the statement of financial position and is valued according to the Group’s accounting policy relevant to that
category of financial instrument. The proceeds received are recorded as a liability (carry positions) carried at fair value where they
are managed on a fair value basis.
Conversely, where the Group purchases financial instruments subject to a commitment to resell these at a future date and the risk
of ownership does not pass to the Group, the consideration paid is included under financial assets carried at fair value where they
are managed on a fair value basis.
The difference between the sale and repurchase price is treated as finance cost and is accrued over the life of the agreement
ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Financial liabilities at amortised cost
Financial liabilities that are neither held for trading nor at fair value are measured at amortised cost. Financial liabilities at
amortised cost are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. These financial liabilities are then
subsequently carried at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption
value is recognised in the income statement over the period of the liability using the effective interest rate method.
Other payables
Other payables are initially carried at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Deferred income tax is provided for in respect of temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates,
except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary
difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss. Deferred tax items are
recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
In respect of temporary differences arising from the fair value adjustments on investment properties, deferred taxation is provided
at the capital gains effective rate, as it is assumed that the carrying amount will be recovered through sale.
Offsetting
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are set off when the income tax relates to the same fiscal authority and where there is a legal
right of offset at settlement in the same taxable entity.
Offsetting
Current tax assets and liabilities are set off when a legally enforceable right exists and it is the intention to settle on a net basis or
to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
The Group applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-
value assets. The Group recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use
the underlying assets.
GROUP REPORTS
48.15 Leases: accounting by lessee continued
Right-of-use asset
The Group recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (ie the date the underlying asset is available
for use). The Group mainly has leases for office buildings, IT equipment and investment property. The Group classifies its right-
of-use assets in a consistent manner to its property, plant and equipment. Right-of-use assets that are classified as owner-
occupied properties or property and equipment are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses,
and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. Right-of-use assets that are classified as investment properties are
measured at fair value (refer to Investment properties accounting policy). The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of
lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any
lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets that are classified as owner-occupied properties and property and equipment are
depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:
CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the Group at the end of the lease term or the cost reflects the exercise of a purchase
option, depreciation is calculated using the estimated useful life of the asset.
Lease liabilities
At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to
be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments) less any lease
incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual
value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised
by the Group and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising the option to
terminate. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised as expenses in the period in which
the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.
In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement
date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
When assets are leased out under an operating lease, the asset is included in the statement of financial position based on
the nature of the asset. Lease income on operating leases is recognised over the term of the lease on a straight-line basis.
Although the risks associated with rights that the Group retains in underlying assets are not considered to be significant,
the Group employs strategies to further minimise these risks. Properties are comprehensively insured against fire, destruction
and loss of income. Property income is secured by leases ranging from 3 to 10 years with comprehensive credit vetting and
deposits held to minimise the risk of recoverability of rental income. Expenses are managed in line with the consumer price
index with service level agreements negotiated over a 3 to 5 year period to minimise costs.
48.17 Provisions
Provisions are recognised when, as a result of past events, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation of uncertain
timing or amount, and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the
obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made.
Provisions are measured as the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation
at the reporting date. The pre-tax discount rate used to determine the present value reflects current market assessments of the
time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised
as finance costs.
The asset or liability recognised in the statement of financial position in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present
value of the defined benefit obligation at the reporting date less the fair value of plan assets. Plan assets exclude any insurance
contracts issued by the Group. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually, using the projected unit credit method. The
liability balances have largely been settled and the plans are in the process of being closed.
Termination benefits
The Group recognises termination benefits as a liability in the statement of financial position and as an expense in the income
statement when it has a present obligation relating to termination. Termination benefits are payable when employment is
terminated by the Group before the normal retirement date, or whenever an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange
for these benefits. The Group recognises termination benefits at the earlier of the following dates: (a) when the Group can no
longer withdraw the offer of those benefits; and (b) when the entity recognises costs for a restructuring that is within the scope
of IAS 37 and involves the payment of termination benefits. In the case of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy, the
termination benefits are measured based on the number of employees expected to accept the offer. Benefits falling due more than
12 months after the end of the reporting period are discounted to their present value.
Short-term benefits
Short-term benefits consist of salaries, accumulated leave payments, bonuses and other benefits such as medical aid contributions.
These obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the service is provided. A liability is recognised for
the amount to be paid under bonus plans or accumulated leave if the Group has a present or constructive obligation to pay this
amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
GROUP REPORTS
48.19 Employee benefits continued
Share-based compensation
The Group operates equity-settled and cash-settled share-based compensation plans. For share-based payment transactions that are
settled in the equity of the parent or another group company or settled in cash where the amount is based on the equity of the parent
or another group company, the Group measures the goods or services received as either equity or cash-settled share-based payment
transactions by assessing the nature of the awards and its own rights and obligations. The Group measures the goods or services
received as an equity-settled share-based payment transaction when the awards granted are its own equity instruments or the Group
has no obligation to settle the share-based transaction in cash. In all other circumstances, the Group measures the goods or services
received as a cash-settled share-based payment transaction.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
are accelerated by the entity in the event that the employee dies, is retrenched or retires. Any remaining element of the fair value of the
award is expensed immediately through profit or loss. Where an employee resigns any unvested units are forfeited by the employee.
The fair value of equity instruments granted is determined by using standard option pricing models. The valuation technique is
consistent with generally accepted valuation methodologies for pricing financial instruments, and incorporates all factors and
assumptions that knowledgeable, willing market participants would consider in setting the price of the equity instrument.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
price of the holding company. In some instances the Group recognises a liability that has been measured with reference to a selling price
formula in a contract, the share price of an external company or the applicable EV of a subsidiary company, and that will be used to settle
the liability with the employees or to repurchase shares in a subsidiary from the employees. The liability in these cases is measured using
the projected unit credit method. Any change in the liability is charged to the income statement over the vesting period of the shares.
48.20 Assets and liabilities relating to disposal groups held for sale
Assets, liabilities or disposal group are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a
sale transaction rather than continuing use. This classification is only met if the sale is highly probable and the assets, liabilities or
disposal groups are available for immediate sale.
In light of the Group’s primary business being the provision of insurance and investment products, non-current assets held as
investments for the benefit of policyholders are not classified as held for sale as the ongoing investment management implies
regular purchases and sales in the ordinary course of business.
Immediately before classification as held for sale, the measurement (carrying amount) of assets and liabilities in relation to a
disposal group is recognised based upon the appropriate IFRS standards. On initial recognition as held for sale, the assets and
liabilities are recognised at the lower of the carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.
Any impairment losses on initial classification to held for sale are recognised in the income statement.
The assets, liabilities or disposal groups held for sale will be reclassified immediately when there is a change in intention to sell.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Subsequent measurement of the asset, liability or disposal group at that date will be the lower of:
• its carrying amount before the asset, liability or disposal group was classified as held for sale, adjusted for any depreciation,
amortisation or revaluations that would have been recognised had the asset, liability or disposal group not been classified as
held for sale; and
• its recoverable amount at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell.
Issue costs
Incremental external costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are recognised in equity as a deduction, net of tax,
from the proceeds. All other share issue costs are expensed.
Treasury shares
Treasury shares are equity share capital of the holding company held by subsidiaries, consolidated CISs and share trusts,
irrespective of whether they are held in shareholder or contract holder portfolios. The consideration paid, including any directly
attributable costs, is eliminated from shareholder equity on consolidation until the shares are cancelled or reissued. If reissued,
the difference between the carrying amount and the consideration received for the shares, net of attributable incremental
transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is included in share premium.
The estimated purchase price is reconsidered at each reporting date and any change in the value of the liability is recorded in
net realised and unrealised fair value gains in the income statement. Interest in respect of this liability is calculated using the
effective interest rate method and recorded within finance costs.
• The customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the entity’s performance as the entity
performs;
• The entity’s performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced; or
• The entity’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the entity and the entity has an enforceable right
to payment for performance completed to date.
Contract administration
Fees charged for investment management services provided in conjunction with an investment contract are recognised as income
as the services are provided over the expected duration of the contract, as a constant percentage of expected gross profit margins;
or as a constant percentage of assets under management; or as a fixed fee. Initial fees that exceed the level of recurring fees and
relate to the future provision of services are deferred and released on a straight-line basis over the lives of the contracts.
GROUP REPORTS
48.24 Income recognition continued
48.24.1 Fee income continued
Other fee income
Administration fees received and multiply fee income are recognised as the service is rendered. Services are rendered over the
expected duration of the contract.
Cell captive fee income includes management fees, which relates to the managing of the cell. Management fees are negotiated
with each cell shareholder and are generally calculated as a percentage of premiums received and/or as a percentage of assets.
Income is brought to account on the effective commencement or renewal dates of the policies and is recognised over the
duration of the contract. A portion of the income is deferred to cover the expected servicing costs, together with a reasonable
profit thereon and is recognised as a liability. The deferred income is brought to account over the servicing period on a
consistent basis reflecting the pattern of servicing activities.
Commission income in respect of insurance ceded to reinsurers is recognised on the commencement date of the policy. A
portion of the income is deferred when further servicing is required to be rendered. Deferred commission income is spread
evenly over the period of the policy. Profit commission negotiated with reinsurers is recognised on declaration by reinsurers.
CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Other fees received include scrip lending fees (which are based on rates determined per contract) and policy administration
fees that are also recognised as the service is rendered. Scrip lending fees are recognised over the duration of the contract.
Policy administration services are rendered either at a point in time or over the duration of the contract depending on when the
performance obligations are met.
Dividend income
Dividends received are recognised when the right to receive payment is established. Where it is declared out of retained earnings,
dividend income includes scrip dividends received, irrespective of whether shares or cash is elected. Dividend income is not
ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Rental income
Rental income is recognised on the straight-line method over the term of the rental agreement.
Finance costs include the amortisation of any discounts or premiums or other differences between the initial carrying amount of
an interest-bearing instrument and its amount at maturity, calculated on the effective interest rate method.
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-
maker. The chief operating decision-maker has been identified as the Group Executive Committee that makes strategic
decisions. Refer to segmental report for more details.

General
Details of interests in subsidiary companies are disclosed in note 42 of the Group financial statements.
Additions to the cost of subsidiaries and other movements
Momentum Metropolitan Strategic Investments Pty Ltd (MMSI): The Company acquired additional shares in MMSI for
R308 million during the current year (2021:R1 743 million). The capital injection into MMSI in the current year was fully
funded through cash.
MIH: The Company acquired additional shares in MIH for R151 million during the prior year.
The Company acquired R8 million additional shares in MET Collective Investments (RF) (Pty) Ltd in the prior year.
Equity-settled share-based payment
Momentum Metropolitan has made available an Employee Share Ownership Plan to its employees through the iSabelo Trust.
iSabelo is structured to benefit all permanent employed South African based employees to promote inclusivity.
These units are allocated on a deferred delivery basis over a seven-year period. All units need to be held for an initial period of
ten years (lock in period) before they can be redeemed for MMH shares. At the end of the lock in period, the iSabelo Trust will
exchange the units for MMH shares.
The investment in subsidiaries is as a result of the iSabelo share-based transaction, for which the Company has the responsibility
to provide its own shares to the employees of the respective subsidiaries.
Refer to note 17.6 of the MMH Group AFS for the Share-based payment disclosures.
Disposals
In the prior year Momentum Life International (Pty) Ltd (MLI) commenced its process for deregistration as a legal entity.
MLI paid a final liquidation of R47 million to the Company as a return of capital to its parent.
There were no disposals in the current year.
Loans to subsidiary companies
The loans to subsidiary companies are not of a commercial nature and are therefore interest-free, with no fixed repayment terms.
These loans are intended to provide the subsidiaries with a long-term source of additional capital and are disclosed as part of
the investment in subsidiary. The Company can recall these loans when cash is required. The additional loans to subsidiaries
that are of an operational nature are disclosed as loans to subsidiaries at amortised cost. Loans to subsidiaries are measured
at amortised cost. Refer to note 4 for disclosure of loans to subsidiaries.
Impairment
Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment and are assessed for impairment when there is an
indication of impairment. Investments in subsidiaries are considered impaired where the recoverable amount is below its carrying
amount. The recoverable amount of a subsidiary is the higher of its value in use, reflected in the directors' value for that entity, and
its fair value less cost to sell.
Where the directors' valuations were used, the valuations used cash flow projections which are based on financial budgets
approved by management and the Board covering a five-year period. In 2022, the expected cash flows were discounted at a risk
discount rate of 17.75% (2021: 16.25%).
In the prior year, MHH commenced its process for deregistration and as a result its fair value was nil. The investment was
subsequently impaired by R448 million in 2021. MET Collective Investments (RF) (Pty) Ltd (MetCI) and Momentum Trust (Pty) Ltd
(Mom Trust) were impaired by R 214K (2021: R17 million) and R978K (2021: R7 million), respectively in the current year. These
investments were impaired to their fair value based on their underlying net assets i.e. net asset value. The lower net asset value in
MetCI was as a result of decreased earnings in the current year. Reduced asset balances contributed to a reduction in net assets
in Mom Trust in the current year.
GROUP REPORTS
Impairment continued
A provision for impairment of R14.6 million in Momentum Metropolitan Infrastructure & Operations (Pty) Ltd (MM I&O) was reversed
in the current year (2021: R7 million) as well as a provision for impairment of R42 million in Momentum Metropolitan Finance
Company (Pty) Ltd (2021: Rnil). Refer to note 42 of the Group financial statements for the recoverable amounts of the investments.
The impairment reversals were due to an increase in the net asset value. The net asset value of Momentum Metropolitan Finance
Company (Pty) Ltd movement was due to profits generated from interest, commitment fees and a sale of loan to Momentum
Metropolitan Strategic Investments (Pty) Ltd.

In the prior year, the Company subscribed to 402 313 redeemable preference shares for R1 per share in Momentum Metropolitan iSabelo (Pty) Ltd SPV (iSabelo) as
part of a capital contribution into the Employee Share Option Program (ESOP) Trust. The preference shares accrue interest at 120% of prime, compounded semi-
annually and mature on 28 January 2025. The preference shares are unsecured however full settlement of the receivable is dependent on the value of the shares
held in the trust at the time of settlement. Refer to note 17.6 of the Group financial statements for details on the ESOP transaction.

The Company subscribed to a participating, cumulative, redeemable A4 preference share from Kagiso Tiso Holdings Ltd (KTH) on 30 June 2019 with a
nominal value of R100. The share is redeemable on 30 November 2022.
The A4 preference share earns a dividend of R1.32 per share less: MMH's ordinary dividend, a facilitation cost of R1 million per month and fund preference
share dividend rate differential of 3% of prime. The preference share's returns are impacted by a number of variables, including the Company's ordinary
dividend, and as such, the share is classified as an equity derivative held for trading.
The dividends on the A4 preference share align the A3 preference share dividend to the ordinary dividend.
A schedule of equity securities is available for inspection at the Company’s registered office.

Impairment of loans to subsidiaries are impaired if the borrowing company does not have sufficient accessible highly liquid assets
available at reporting date. The expected credit loss is calculated by considering the means of the loan recovery, the quality of the
subsidiary’s underlying investments, as well as profitability expectations.
To determine a significant increase in credit risk, the following factors are considered: changes in the net asset value of the
borrower, changes in management and organisational structure during the year, stability of industry and resilience to volatility and
regulatory changes, the type of funding provided to the entity and the repayment behaviour of the borrower.
Loans with repayment terms considers the net asset value, frequency in management changes, subordination of the loan and
sufficiency of liquid assets of the borrower as well as the remaining repayment term to determine a probability of default.
Loans without repayment terms consider whether the borrower has sufficient accessible highly liquid assets available to
determine a probability of default.
The probabilities of default is extracted from a report issued by Moody's. Loss given default rates applied are extracted from SAM
Loss Given Default (LGD) tables prescribed for insurers and adjusted accordingly by management to incorporate forward-looking
information.

GROUP REPORTS
4.2 Credit risk balances – reconciliation of expected credit losses continued
Significant increase in credit risk Criteria
Accounts receivable and loans To determine a significant change in credit risk both historical data and forward
looking information is taken into account. This includes existing or expected adverse
changes in business, financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a
significant change in the borrower’s ability to meet its debt obligations, a breach of
contract, significant changes in the value of any collateral supporting the obligation and
reductions in financial support from a parent entity.
Accounts receivable Impairment of accounts receivable is based on the recoverability of balances grouped
together based on shared credit risk characteristics, e.g. instrument type. Balances generally
relate to amounts where the timing of settlement is within one month. Historic payments as
well as forward looking information is also taken into account.
Loans For related party loans the solvency of the counterparty is taken into account as well as
any collateral held.
CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Sensitivities
Accounts receivable No expected credit loss has been raised in the current year. Impairment expenses in
stage 3 in the prior year were not considered to be sensitive to changes in the forward
looking information.
Loans Most of the loan balances outstanding are considered to have low credit risk as the
borrower has a strong capacity to meet its obligations and has a low risk of default. The
expected credit loss is therefore not considered to be sensitive to changes in forward
looking information.

Details of the cumulative redeemable convertible preference shares are disclosed in note 12.2 of the Group financial statements.
The Company issued 28 million A3 preference shares to KTH in June 2010. The preference shares are convertible at the option
of the holder into MMH ordinary shares at any time before the compulsory redemption date. The preference shares had an
initial redemption date of December 2011, the terms of which have been extended previously, with the most recent extension
in June 2022 (for a further 5 months). The preference shares accrue a dividend of R1.32 per share. The extension does not
constitute a significant modification, the extinguishment of the liability or result in the recognition of a new liability and was
therefore accounted for as a change in the expected future cash flows. The change in the expected cash flows resulted in an
R6 million loss recognised in profit or loss in the current year (2021: R8 million gain). In addition, the change in the expected
cash flows before and after the extension resulted in an IFRS 2 – Share-based payment B-BBEE expense of R11 million being
recognised in the current year (2021: R25 million).
The estimated fair value of the A3 preference shares is R400 million (2021: R558 million) and is based on the market value of
the listed ordinary shares, adjusted for the differences in the estimated dividend cash flows between the valuation and conversion
dates. As the preference shares are already convertible, the market value is deemed to be the minimum value. In 2022, the
expected cash flows were discounted at a current market rate of 14% (2021: 13%) (level 2). The conversion of the preference
shares is at the option of the preference shareholder; the date of conversion was estimated based on the most beneficial
dividend stream to the holder.

repayment of preference shares issued to them in the event that MMSI is unable to meet its commitment. On initial recognition,
the financial guarantees are measured at fair value.
The fair value of a financial guarantee contract is the present value of the difference between the net contractual cash flows
required under a debt instrument, and the net contractual cash flows that would have been required without the guarantee.
On initial recognition of the guarantee, the investment in subsidiary is debited with the fair value of the guarantee.

18 CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
Contingent liabilities are reflected when the Company has a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which
will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of
the Company, or it is possible but not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle a present obligation,
or the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability. No contingent liabilities arose in both the current
and prior years.

(i.e. derived from prices) (level 2)
• Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (level 3)
The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety is determined on the
basis of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. If a fair value measurement uses
observable inputs that require significant adjustment based on unobservable inputs, that measurement is a level 3 measurement.
Assessing the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgement, considering
factors specific to the asset or liability.
The following are the methods and assumptions for determining the fair value when a valuation technique is used in respect of
instruments classified as level 2.

The carrying value of the financial guarantee contracts is R77 million. The liquidity exposure related to this financial guarantee is R2,025 billion, which is the
carrying value of the preference shares held by MMSI as at 30 June 2022. Refer to note 8.2.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Changes in market interest rates have a direct effect on the contractually determined cash flows associated with floating rate
financial assets and financial liabilities, and on the fair value of other investments. Fair values of fixed maturity investments included
in the Company’s investment portfolios are subject to changes in prevailing market interest rates. Additionally, relative values of
alternative investments and the liquidity of the instruments invested in could affect the fair value of interest rate market-related
investments. The ongoing assessment by an investment research team of market expectations within the South African interest rate
environment drives the process of asset allocation in this category.
The Company is exposed to floating interest rates that result in cash flow interest rate risk. Financial assets at amortised cost
(empowerment loans) have a weighted average interest rate of 7.2% (2021: 7%). Cash and cash equivalents have a weighted
average interest rate of 19% (2021: 3.1%).
The Company is exposed to floating interest rate changes only. Cash requirements fluctuate during the course of the year and
are therefore of a short-term nature. Interest rate changes with respect to cash and cash equivalents will therefore not have a
significant impact on earnings.
The Company has foreign currency exposure in so far as it relates to foreign dividends declared by its subsidiaries. The Company
has no other foreign currency exposure.
