Old Mutual PLC (OML.LN) said Monday that it continues to trade in line with its expectations and that continuing operations have started the year on a positive note.

The financial services company said its investment returns reflect the impact of lower-equity markets in South Africa and particularly in Zimbabwe, and that it remains focused on tightly managing its cost base.

The company's wealth-management subsidiary, Quilter PLC, had assets under management of 111.60 billion pounds ($153.75 billion) for the first quarter, a decline of 2% from the previous period.

However the negative market movements were partially offset by a 14% rise in net client cash-flow to GBP1.60 billion, Old Mutual said.

The company said that Nedbank Group Ltd.'s (NED.JO) performance for the three months ended March 31 has met management's expectations.
