Interim dividend
The Board has proposed an interim dividend of 11.0p (1H2021: 5.5p), translating to a 41.8% payout ratio, within the group's 30% to 50% payout range.
Distribution of 15% holding in Ninety One
Given the group's strong capital generation; capital optimisation strategy; and in line with previous communication that 15% of Ninety One is surplus
to our capital requirements, the Board has resolved to distribute the 15% holding to shareholders whilst retaining an approximate 10% interest.
The distribution will be subject to regulatory, shareholder and other approvals.
Announcements will be made in due course updating shareholders on the distribution terms and process.
Outlook
Based on the group's performance to date, we have updated our FY2022 adjusted earnings per share guidance to between 48p - 53p (Range guided
in May 2021: 36p - 41p). We will provide further guidance in our March 2022 pre-close briefing.
The macro-economic environment is improving; however, global recovery remains uneven. Underlying consumer and business confidence in our core
markets will continue to be tested by the ongoing presence of COVID-19, along with the consequences of Brexit in the UK and the slow progress in
implementing economic reforms in South Africa.
The assumptions can be obtained in the full announcement available on our website www.investec.com. The financial information on which forward-
looking statements are based is the responsibility of the directors of the group and has not been reviewed and reported on by the group's auditors.
