Rand Merchant Investment details OUTsurance pivot

Holding group Rand Merchant Investment says it is in the process of transitioning and rebranding from RMI to OUTsurance Group, following the unbundling of its investments in Discovery and Momentum Metropolitan and the sale of the group’s 30% interest in Hastings Group.

“Both strategically and structurally, landmark decisions were made to unbundle its shareholdings in two strong South African life insurance brands, Discovery and Momentum Metropolitan, sell its investment in the lucrative British market, Hastings, and not to continue with an active investment strategy and further geographic expansion but to embark on an orderly and managed transition to a structure that represents an effective listing of OUTsurance.

In addition to this, RMI said it paid a special dividend of R2.2 billion and a normal dividend of R1 billion. The group said its total shareholder return since listing in 2011 amounted to 453.5%. “The RMI board of directors concluded that it is in the best interests of shareholders not to continue with the active investment strategy and decided to embark on an orderly and managed transition to a structure that represents an effective listing of OUTsurance,” it said.

RMI’s investments in RMI Investments Managers and the AlphaCode fintech portfolio will be housed under RMI Treasury Company Limited , and its investment in OUTsurance will remain under OUTsurance Holdings Limited.Simpler operational structure offering a single access point to OUTsurance;
