Standard Life plc

2012 Q1 Interim Management Statement

25 April 2012

Well positioned for market and regulatory changes

Continuing growth in assets and sustained net flows

-- Group assets under administration (AUA) of GBP206.8bn (31 December 2011: GBP198.4bn, 31 March 2011: GBP194.5bn(1) )

-- Standard Life Investments third party assets under management (AUM) of GBP76.1bn (31 December 2011: GBP71.8bn, 31 March 2011: GBP68.4bn(1) )

   --   Long-term savings new business sales of GBP5.0bn (2011: GBP5.8bn) with the UK performing well 

-- Long-term savings net inflows of GBP1.1bn(2) (2011: GBP1.3bn(2) ) including strong flows into institutional pensions driven by demand for our market-leading Global Absolute Return Strategies proposition

-- Standard Life Investments third party net inflows of GBP1.1bn(2) (2011: GBP1.4bn(1,2) ), representing an annualised 6% of opening AUM

David Nish, Chief Executive, commented:

"Standard Life has had a resilient start to 2012 despite the uncertain economic environment and fragile consumer confidence which has affected new business volumes in the first quarter against a strong start to last year. Against this backdrop our performance has been good. Inflows into our long-term savings businesses and strong performance from Standard Life Investments have helped to increase both our Group assets under administration and Standard Life Investments third party assets to record levels, driving growth in fee based revenue while we continue to improve the efficiency of our business.

"As our industry prepares for significant regulatory change, we are continuing to build on our leading positions in each of our markets to take advantage of the opportunities that lie ahead. During the quarter we announced our auto enrolment solution and have built on the success of MyFolio risk-based funds in the retail space by launching a version to meet the demands of the corporate market. Standard Life Investments has further extended its wholesale distribution in the US and Europe through significant new distribution agreements.

"We remain confident that we are well positioned to deliver continued strong growth in assets. We expect this, together with improvements in efficiency, to continue to drive an ongoing improvement in financial performance."

Unless otherwise stated, all comparisons are in Sterling and are for the three months ended 31 March 2011.

Sustained growth ahead of market and regulatory changes

Group assets under administration increased from GBP198.4bn to GBP206.8bn. This increase was driven by continuing net inflows into our newer fee based propositions and positive market movements. Notably, Standard Life Investments had a strong start to the year with third party net inflows of GBP1.1bn representing an annualised 6% of opening AUM.

Strengthening our leading positions in our chosen markets

During the first quarter, the UK Corporate business continued to expand its product capability with the launch of MyFolio risk-based funds building on its success in the retail space. We have secured 43 new schemes including our first major Master Trust scheme. The number of employees in pension schemes we administer increased by 26,000 during the quarter and now stands at 1,166,000. We have also seen higher levels of enquiries, especially from corporates in our target market, as companies continue to plan for auto enrolment ahead of the commencement of its phased implementation later this year.

In UK Retail, platform AUA was up 26% to GBP12.6bn and MyFolio exceeded GBP1.2bn. We continue to support IFAs in their transition to the new regulatory environment, adding 41 firms to our Wrap platform with average AUA per advisor firm increasing to GBP9.2m (2011: GBP7.9m). SIPP customers grew by 24% year on year to 141,000 with AUA increasing to GBP17.5bn.

During the first quarter, Standard Life Investments continued to increase its UK retail capability with two new ranges of MyFolio funds. We have also announced a US distribution agreement with John Hancock which will begin to deliver net inflows in 2012. European retail capability was improved with extended access to our range of SICAV funds, which are now available in 12 countries, and a distribution agreement with Swedish banking group Lansforsakringar to distribute our award winning Global Absolute Return Strategies (GARS) proposition.

In Canada, we continue to enhance our propositions for both corporate and retail customers. We have launched a new online health claim solution which will improve our customers' experience while allowing us to increase our operational efficiency. In Group savings and retirement we launched target date funds, which offer a range of solutions that are unique in the Canadian marketplace.

Our German business continues to expand its range of unit linked propositions and investment solutions while in Ireland we have recently launched a new regular savings product.

Capital strength maintained

Standard Life continues to have a strong capital position with an estimated IGD surplus of GBP3.1bn (31 December 2011: GBP3.1bn).

In the last few years we have significantly de-risked our business and this, combined with our capital-lite business model, means we believe we are well placed to operate in the currently proposed Solvency 2 environment, although there remains significant uncertainty about the final outcome of this regulatory change.

Outlook

In the UK, we are entering a period of significant change and potential for growth of our business. With the implementation of the Retail Distribution Review (RDR) just 251 days away, our retail business has scale and momentum and is ideally positioned to continue to drive asset growth through our leading platform propositions. This, together with the quality of our corporate pension offerings and forthcoming pensions reform, will provide us with an increased flow of new business over the medium to long term.

The prospects for Standard Life Investments remain strong. We have seen an outflow of GBP1.8bn in April from one low revenue yield mandate following a client's change in pension scheme strategy. The business is well positioned across a diversified range of asset classes and provides the investment solutions expertise which continues to allow the Group to capture a greater proportion of the platform value chain and third party assets.

Our attractive corporate and retail propositions in Canada leave us well positioned in the marketplace and we expect to benefit from the ongoing shift from defined benefit to defined contribution pension provision. Our International business will continue to benefit from the strength of our offshore bond proposition and ongoing progress in our joint ventures in India and China. Our operations in Germany and Ireland may continue to be affected by the impact of economic uncertainty in Europe.

We continue to see significant opportunities in all of our chosen markets and are confident that the investments we are making will lead to continued strong growth in assets. We expect this, together with further improvements in efficiency, to continue to drive an ongoing improvement in financial performance.

Our business continues to benefit from its strength in distribution, excellence of its retail and corporate platforms as well as expertise in tax wrappers and provision of investment solutions. UK fee business AUA grew by 5% during the quarter to GBP105.9bn, driven by a continuation of net inflows and positive market movements. Fee business net inflows of GBP0.5bn into our core retail (GBP0.1bn) and corporate pension (GBP0.4bn) propositions, improved on the last quarter of 2011 (Q4 2011: GBP0.4bn) but were lower than the strong flows in the first quarter of the prior year (Q1 2011: GBP0.8bn). Total fee business net inflows were in line with last year at GBP0.9bn. Average revenue yield across our UK fee business was 1bp lower at 72bps reflecting the impact of product mix.

Retail business with scale, momentum and market-leading propositions

Net inflows into our core retail propositions of GBP0.1bn (2011: GBP0.3bn) reflect resilient gross inflows of GBP1.7bn (2011: GBP1.9bn), particularly into our new style propositions, against a backdrop of subdued consumer sentiment and ongoing economic uncertainty. Retention in our older style business has been encouraging and we continue to see a growing number of our maturing individual pension customers choosing to annuitise with Standard Life.

In particular, we have maintained good momentum in our platform propositions which continue to attract customers, advisers and assets as we continue to enhance the features and usability of our proposition. Collectively, our platforms account for over 200,000 customers with total assets under administration up 26% to GBP12.6bn (2011: GBP10.0bn). The number of adviser firms on our Wrap platform increased by 19% to 1,040 (2011: 874). We continue to embed our Wrap platform with existing adviser firms resulting in the average AUA per firm rising to GBP9.2m (2011: GBP7.9m).

Total SIPP customers increased to 141,000, an increase of 24% year on year. Our SIPP proposition continues to perform well as we maintain our leading position in the market, helping to increase AUA to GBP17.5bn (2011: GBP15.6bn).

Strong demand for our higher margin investment solutions has helped to drive Standard Life Wealth and MyFolio assets by 26% (GBP0.5bn) to GBP2.4bn in the first three months of the year. Standard Life Wealth continues to build a strong presence in the IFA market with net flows up 64% to GBP185m (2011: GBP113m).

UK spread/risk business AUA remained at GBP14.4bn, reflecting falling yields on debt securities which were offset by overall net outflows driven by scheduled annuity payments. Gross inflows into annuities were 29% higher at GBP141m (2011: GBP109m) reflecting the continued positive impact of actions we have taken to increase the number of customers who choose to annuitise with us.

With RDR just 251 days away, our retail business is very well positioned for growth by providing both IFAs and direct customers with valued long term savings and investment solutions. In particular, we are focused on meeting the needs of 'new model' IFAs (both independent and restricted) who are best placed to prosper in the new market environment. Developing solutions for both advisers and their clients has allowed us to grow our market share without incurring the cost of commission on new business. Focus Solutions and threesixty Services provide Standard Life with a unique ability to support advisers in developing business models compliant with RDR, and beyond, deepening our relationships with these firms.

Corporate business positioned for growth from market and regulatory trends

We continued to build on our momentum, winning 43 new schemes (2011: 46 schemes) and 26,000 new employees joined our pension schemes in the quarter (2011: 32,000 employees). The total number of members in our schemes increased to 1,166,000 (2011: 1,099,000). Wins in the quarter included our first major Master Trust scheme which will result in an additional 24,000 members.

Corporate pension net inflows, excluding Trustee Investment Plan (TIP) business of Standard Life Investments, of GBP0.4bn (2011: GBP0.6bn) demonstrate the strength of our corporate business at a time when employers are delaying decision-making ahead of the phased introduction of auto enrolment starting in just 159 days later this year.

We are continuing to roll out Lifelens, our market-leading fully integrated pension and employee benefit solution, including the successful implementation of Lifelens for Standard Chartered Bank plc during the quarter. We expect the next wave of existing clients to transition throughout 2012.

We continue to build on our strong relationships with employers and corporate benefit consultants and have recently announced our comprehensive auto enrolment benefit solution. We have further enhanced our offering by building on the success of MyFolio risk-based funds in the retail space, launching a tailored MyFolio investment solution for the corporate market.

The overall quality of our propositions and the high levels of customer service we offer means we are well positioned to benefit from pension reform and RDR. We expect the introduction of auto enrolment to increase levels of employee participation in the 35,000 schemes we administer for our clients, resulting in 400,000 potential additional savers. More importantly, the introduction of auto enrolment is leading many corporates to review their overall pension provision giving rise to higher levels of enquiries, especially from corporates in our target market, which will drive further growth in our business towards the end of this year and in 2013.

Growth in net flows into higher margin products

----------------------------  ------  ---------  ------------  ---------  -----------  ------- 
 

AUM in our third party business reached a record level of GBP76.1bn, reflecting strong net inflows and positive market movements. Despite weak inflows in the market generally, net inflows of GBP1.1bn (2011: GBP1.4bn) were driven by investor demand for fixed income and GARS propositions, in the UK and overseas, resulting in cumulative net inflows of over GBP50bn since the launch of Standard Life Investments in 1998.

Our share of the UK wholesale market remained unchanged with net inflows of GBP457m (2011: GBP808m) reflecting lower sales across the industry. SICAV sales, predominantly in Europe, saw strong growth with net inflows of GBP253m (2011: GBP173m), while European segregated funds net inflows were up 354% to GBP518m. Our share of inflows in India, excluding more volatile cash funds, increased almost four-fold to GBP219m. Outflows in Canada of almost GBP600m included the loss of a large institutional fixed income mandate with very low revenue yield.

In the UK, we have recently expanded the MyFolio family of risk-based funds to include two new suites of Multi Manager Income and Managed Income funds. We also continued to make progress in increasing our global presence. Our award-winning GARS fund has been made available, for the first time, to retail investors in the US via John Hancock Mutual Funds. In Europe, we have also entered into an agreement with Swedish banking group Lansforsakringar to distribute our GARS fund to investors in Sweden and our SICAV range of funds is now available to investors in Switzerland.

The average revenue yield across our third party business has been maintained at 37bps (1 January 2012: 37bps).

Investment performance continues to be robust, with the money weighted average for our third party assets over all time periods - one, three, five and ten years - above median. The strength of our mutual fund and unit trust range is demonstrated by the proportion of eligible and actively managed funds (22 out of 30) rated 'A' or above by Standard & Poor's in the UK, with the European Equity Income and Global Index Linked Bond funds achieving top decile performance over one year.

The prospects for Standard Life Investments remain strong although we have seen an outflow of GBP1.8bn in April from one low revenue yield mandate following a client's change in pension scheme strategy.

----------------------------  ------  ---------  ------------  ---------  -----------  ------- 
 

Fee business AUA in Canada has increased by 5%4 to GBP14.9bn driven by net inflows and positive market movements. Gross inflows into our individual segregated funds and mutual fund propositions increased by 27%4 to GBP264m but were offset by lower inflows into our group segregated funds reflecting the uneven pattern of this business. Total net inflows into our fee based business amounted to GBP80m (2011: GBP158m). The average revenue yield on fee business remained stable at 117bps (1 January 2012: 117bps).

Spread/risk business AUA of GBP10.0bn was driven by scheduled outflows from our annuity back book and a 27%(4) reduction in individual insurance, annuity and term fund inflows to GBP111m. The Group insurance and disability management business continues to perform well with PVNBP sales of GBP164m up 12%(4) on Q4 of 2011 but lower than PVNBP sales in Q1 2011 of GBP324m, reflecting particularly large mandate wins in the first quarter of last year.

-------------------------------  ------  ---------  ------------  ---------  -----------  ------- 
 

Fee business AUA across our wholly owned International operations increased by 8% to GBP13.3bn, driven by a combination of positive market movements and a continuation of net inflows across all of our wholly owned businesses. Net inflows of GBP313m were lower compared to the same period last year (2011: GBP449m) reflecting economic uncertainty and lower consumer sentiment as well as our notable success in the first quarter of 2011 in securing a number of large cases in our market leading offshore bond business.

The average revenue yield across International wholly owned businesses was lower at 179bps (1 January 2012: 186bps), reflecting the charging structure of legacy business and the change in asset mix across International territories. Our German business continues to expand its range of unit linked propositions and investment solutions while in Ireland we have recently launched a new regular savings product.

Our India and China life joint venture businesses continued to perform well, with Heng An Standard Life achieving its highest net flows, albeit from a low base, and HDFC Life maintaining its second place in the private sector overall.

(1) An additional elimination line has been added from 1 January 2012 to reflect the double count between Standard Life Wealth and Ireland within long-term savings.

(2) In order to be consistent with the presentation of new business information, certain products are included in long-term savings AUA and investment operations. Therefore, at a Group level an elimination adjustment is required to remove any duplication, in addition to other necessary consolidation adjustments.
