period, both Rand and Pound Sterling financial features are reflected in the table below:

Stephen Koseff, Chief Executive Officer of
Investec said:

"We have delivered results at the top end of what we
anticipated, despite a sharp fall in the Rand without which
we would have shown a 13% increase in earnings.
We have worked hard to deal with many of the legacy
issues within the group and will continue to take decisive
action in order to ensure Investec is in the right shape to
take advantage of the recovery in the world economy and
markets."

Bernard Kantor, Managing Director of
Investec said:

"We are showing good growth in the vast majority of
our businesses, and where growth is not in line with our
expectations, we are tackling those issues head on.
Our aim is to ensure we focus, build and expand the areas
where we have core competencies that can generate
appropriate shareholder returns across our business.
As previously mentioned, we will effectively deal with those
businesses that cannot deliver decent returns."

Commentary
Investec plc and Investec Limited (combined results)
Unaudited combined consolidated financial results for the six months to 30 September 2013

OVERALL GROUP PERFORMANCE
Operating profit before goodwill, acquired intangibles, non-operating items and taxation and after other non-controlling interests ("operating profit")
decreased 2.3% to GBP222.8 million (2012: GBP228.1 million). Overall group results have been negatively impacted by the depreciation of the average
Rand: Pounds Sterling exchange rate of approximately 16% over the period.

Asset Management reported results 6.8% ahead of the prior year and Wealth & Investment's results increased 35.0%, with both divisions benefiting from
higher levels of average funds under management and net inflows of GBP1.4 billion and GBP400 million, respectively. Operating profit in the Specialist
Banking business declined 12.9% largely due to the depreciation of the Rand and lower investment and fee income earned in the UK and Australian
banking businesses, partially offset by a strong performance from the South African banking business and a substantial decline in impairments.

The combined South African business reported an increase in operating profit of 35.6% in Rand terms benefiting from growth in revenue and fixed cost
containment. The combined UK business reported results behind the prior period, but significantly ahead of the second half of the 2013 financial year. The
Australian business was strategically restructured with a focus on improving profitability and returns and enhancing operational efficiencies.

Salient features of the period under review are:
-  Adjusted earnings attributable to shareholders before goodwill, acquired intangibles and non-operating items decreased 1.7% to GBP164.1 million
   (2012: GBP167.0 million) – an increase of 13.2% on a currency neutral basis.
-  Adjusted earnings per share (EPS) before goodwill, acquired intangibles and non-operating items decreased 2.1% from 19.5 pence to 19.1 pence – an
   increase of 12.4% on a currency neutral basis.
-  Recurring income as a percentage of total operating income amounted to 72.1% (2012: 69.4%).
-  The annualised credit loss charge as a percentage of average gross core loans and advances has improved from 0.84% at 31 March 2013 to 0.71%,
   with impairments decreasing by 28.2% to GBP83.1 million.
-  Third party assets under management decreased 3.6% to GBP106.7 billion (31 March 2013: GBP110.7 billion) – an increase of 2.6% on a currency
   neutral basis.
-  Customer accounts (deposits) decreased 5.3% to GBP23.2 billion (31 March 2013: GBP24.5 billion) - an increase of 4.3% on a currency neutral basis.
-  Core loans and advances decreased 5.6% to GBP17.4 billion (31 March 2013: GBP18.4 billion) - an increase of 4.7% on a currency neutral basis.
-  The board declared a dividend of 8.0 pence per ordinary share (2012: 8.0 pence) resulting in a dividend cover based on the group's adjusted EPS
   before goodwill and non-operating items of 2.4 times (2012: 2.5 times), consistent with the group's dividend policy.

BUSINESS UNIT REVIEW
The group's asset management and wealth management businesses have sound franchises and remain focused on broadening their client base and
generating net inflows. Further investment in distribution platforms, IT and online infrastructure and experienced portfolio managers is important for
supporting future revenue growth in these businesses. The challenge for the group remains to ensure its Specialist Banking businesses are in the best
possible shape to take advantage of the upturn in markets and generate the appropriate shareholder returns. The group has made progress in this regard
with the focus remaining on efficiency and balance sheet optimisation, whilst growing the business organically and managing down the legacy portfolios.

Asset Management
Asset Management increased operating profit 6.8% to GBP71.9 million (2012: GBP67.4 million) benefiting from higher average funds under management
and net inflows of GBP1.4 billion. Total funds under management amount to GBP66.2 billion (31 March 2013: GBP69.8 billion). Operating margin has
remained stable at 34.3%. The division's long-term investment performance remains solid with 88% of portfolios outperforming benchmarks on a 10-year
annualised basis. The sale of the 15% stake in the business to management was completed on 31 July 2013.

Wealth & Investment
Wealth & Investment operating profit increased by 35.0% to GBP30.8 million (2012: GBP22.9 million) supported by higher average funds under management,
net inflows of GBP0.4 billion and improved operating margins. Total funds under management amount to GBP40.0 billion (31 March 2013: GBP40.4 billion).
The business in the UK has expanded its footprint across the region, successfully completing the integration of the Williams de Broë business. In addition,
the business in South Africa has benefitted from greater co-operation with the Private Bank in leveraging the group's private client platform, and has made
progress in integrating and leveraging off the division's global investment platform.

Specialist Banking
Specialist Banking operating profit decreased by 12.9% to GBP120.0 million (2012: GBP137.8 million).
South Africa saw strong growth in net fee and commission income driven largely by an increase in corporate and property fund fees. Improved customer
flow activity has resulted in an increase in trading income. The unlisted private equity portfolio performed well during the period. The group continued to
grow its professional finance business and the investment and trading property portfolios delivered a sound performance.
In the UK the principal investment portfolios performed well and the division recorded good growth in its professional and specialised lending and asset
finance loan portfolios. Lower fee and commission income was recorded in the period however, deal pipelines remain sound. Investment and trading
income was negatively impacted by lower returns earned on the fixed income portfolio. The ongoing business reported operating profit of GBP76.1 million,
whilst the legacy business reported a loss of GBP49.2 million.

Following a review conducted in Australia, a number of businesses which lacked scale or alignment with the greater group were closed. The restructure
costs resulting from this action are included in the current period's results. Focus remains on building businesses in select niches which are strategically
aligned with the broader group. The continuing operations made an operating profit of A$11.9 million during the period.
Further information on key developments within each of the business units is provided in a detailed report published on the group's website:

FINANCIAL STATEMENT ANALYSIS
Total operating income
Total operating income before impairment losses on loans and advances decreased by 2.5% to GBP941.8 million (2012: GBP965.9 million).
Net interest income decreased by 9.0% to GBP318.4 million (2012: GBP349.8 million) largely due to a lower return earned on the group's liquid asset and
cash portfolio in South Africa following a decrease in interest rates, and less interest earned on the legacy portfolios which are running down. This was
partially offset by loan book growth and lower cost of funding, notably in the UK and Australia.

Net fee and commission income increased by 5.0% to GBP484.9 million (2012: GBP461.7 million) as a result of higher average funds under management
and net inflows in the asset management and wealth management businesses. The Specialist Banking business recorded a decrease in net fees and
commissions due to lower corporate fees earned in the UK and Australia, with the South African business benefiting from increased client activity.
Investment income decreased by 16.2% to GBP61.8 million (2012: GBP73.8 million). The group's private equity investment portfolios performed well,
however, results were offset by lower income earned on the fixed income portfolio in the UK.

Trading income arising from customer flow increased 59.0% to GBP54.4 million (2012:GBP34.2 million) whilst trading income from other trading activities
decreased by 46.2% to GBP13.7 million (2012: GBP25.4 million) due to gains arising from the sale of bonds not repeated in the current period.
Other operating income includes associate income and income earned on an operating lease portfolio.

Impairment losses on loans and advances
Impairments on loans and advances decreased from GBP115.6 million to GBP83.1 million. Australia reported an increase whilst impairments in the UK
and South Africa were much improved.

Since 31 March 2013 gross defaults have improved from GBP792.2 million to GBP757.5 million. The percentage of default loans (net of impairments but
before taking collateral into account) to core loans and advances amounted to 2.74% (31 March 2013: 2.73%). The ratio of collateral to default loans (net
of impairments) remains satisfactory at 1.17 times (31 March 2013: 1.26 times).

Operating costs
The ratio of total operating costs to total operating income was 67.5% (2012:64.8%).
Total operating costs grew by 2.2% to GBP633.5 million (2012: GBP619.6 million) as a result of growth in the asset management and wealth management
businesses. Costs in the Specialist Bank have remained flat to marginally higher in home currencies.

Impairment of goodwill
The current period's goodwill impairment largely relates to Asset Management businesses acquired in prior years.

Amortisation of acquired intangibles
Amortisation of acquired intangibles relates to the Wealth & Investment business and mainly comprises amortisation of amounts attributable to client
relationships.

Operating costs arising from restructuring and partial disposal of subsidiaries
Operating costs arising from restructuring and partial disposal of subsidiaries includes costs associated with the restructuring of the Australian business,
as mentioned above, and operational costs associated with the implementation of the Asset Management transaction.

Taxation
The effective tax rate amounts to 17.4% (2012:19.1%).
Profit attributable to non-controlling interests
Profit attributable to non-controlling interests mainly comprises:
-  GBP2.9 million profit attributable to non-controlling interests in the asset management business.
-  GBP0.4 million profit attributable to other non-controlling interests.
-  A loss of GBP1.9 million relating to Euro denominated preferred securities issued by a subsidiary of Investec plc which are reflected on the balance
   sheet as part of non-controlling interests. (The transaction is hedged and a forex transaction loss arising on the hedge is reflected in operating profit
   before goodwill with the equal and opposite impact reflected in earnings attributable to non-controlling interests).

Balance sheet analysis
Since 31 March 2013:
-  Total shareholders' equity (including non-controlling interests) increased by 1.6% to GBP4.0 billion – an increase of 8.6% on a currency neutral
   basis. The weakening of the closing Rand and Australian exchange rates relative to Pounds Sterling has resulted in a reduction in total equity of
   GBP276 million.
-  Net asset value per share decreased 2.7% to 374.0 pence and net tangible asset value per share (which excludes goodwill and intangible assets)
   decreased by 2.2% to 304.1 pence largely as a result of the depreciation of the Rand as described above. On a currency neutral basis net asset value
   per share and net tangible asset value per share increased by 5.1% and 7.0%, respectively.
-  The return on adjusted average shareholders' equity increased from 9.4% to 10.0%.

Liquidity and funding
Diversifying funding sources has been a key element in improving the resilience of the group's balance sheet and reducing its reliance on wholesale funding.
As at 30 September 2013 the group held GBP8.6 billion in cash and near cash balances (GBP4.0 billion in Investec plc and R74.5 billion in Investec Limited)
which amounted to 31.0% of its liability base. Loans and advances to customers as a percentage of customer deposits amounted to 71.1% (31 March
2013: 71.3%).

Capital adequacy and leverage ratios
The group is targeting a minimum core/common equity tier one capital ratio above 10% by March 2016 and a total capital adequacy ratio range of 14% to 17% on
a consolidated basis for each of Investec plc and Investec Limited respectively. Basel lll was implemented on 1 January 2013 in South Africa and Australia
and this had a moderate effect on capital ratios. The group's anticipated fully loaded Basel III core tier 1 capital adequacy ratios in both Investec plc and
Investec Limited are reflected in the table below.

OUTLOOK
Whilst economic conditions remain mixed, the overall group is improving in shape and capability. Significant progress has been made in identifying and
addressing the drag on overall performance. The group will continue to realign the business model to position the business appropriately for future growth
and development and the achievement of its financial targets.

NOTES TO THE COMMENTARY SECTION ABOVE
- Presentation of financial information
  Investec operates under a Dual Listed Companies (DLC) structure with premium/primary listings of Investec plc on the London Stock Exchange and
  Investec Limited on the JSE Limited.
  In terms of the contracts constituting the DLC structure, Investec plc and Investec Limited effectively form a single economic enterprise in which the
  economic and voting rights of ordinary shareholders of the companies are maintained in equilibrium relative to each other. The directors of the two
  companies consider that for financial reporting purposes, the fairest presentation is achieved by combining the results and financial position of both
  companies.
  Accordingly, the interim results for Investec plc and Investec Limited present the results and financial position of the combined DLC group under International
  Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), denominated in Pounds Sterling. In the commentary above, all references to Investec or the group relate to the
  combined DLC group comprising Investec plc and Investec Limited.
  Unless the context indicates otherwise, all comparatives included in the commentary above relate to the six months ended 30 September 2012.
  Amounts represented on a currency neutral basis for balance sheet items assume that the closing exchange rates of the group's relevant exchange rates,
  as reflected below, remain the same as at 30 September 2013 when compared to 31 March 2013. Amounts represented on a currency neutral basis
  for income statement items assume that the average exchange rates of the group's relevant exchange rates, as reflected below, remain the same as at
  30 September 2013 when compared to 30 September 2012.

- Foreign currency impact
  The group's reporting currency is Pounds Sterling. Certain of the group's operations are conducted by entities outside the UK. The results of operations
  and the financial position of the individual companies are reported in the local currencies in which they are domiciled, including Rands, Australian Dollars,
  Euros and US Dollars. These results are then translated into Pounds Sterling at the applicable foreign currency exchange rates for inclusion in the group's
  combined consolidated financial statements. In the case of the income statement, the weighted average rate for the relevant period is applied and, in the
  case of the balance sheet, the relevant closing rate is used.
  The following table sets out the movements in certain relevant exchange rates against Pounds Sterling over the period:

                                                                             Six months to                       Year to                 Six months to

Exchange rates between local currencies and Pounds Sterling have fluctuated over the period. The most significant impact arises from the volatility of
the Rand. The average exchange rate over the period has depreciated by 16.0% and the closing rate has depreciated by 16.7% since 31 March 2013.

  six months to 30 September 2013 will be posted to stakeholders on 29 November 2013. These accounts will be available on the group's website at

  ACCOUNTING RESTATEMENTS AND ADOPTION OF IFRS 13
  The group has adopted the following new or revised standards from 1 April 2013:

  IFRS 10 – Consolidations
  The revised standard on consolidation has been applied retrospectively, with the impact to prior reported periods disclosed in the restatement tables
  below. The application of the single definition of control contained in the standard has resulted in the consolidation of certain special purpose vehicles in
  which the group has exposure to variable returns (not necessarily the majority thereof) and has the ability to affect such returns by exercising control over
  the activities of the entity.

  IFRS 13 – Fair value
  The new accounting standard has been applied prospectively from 1 April 2013. The standard defines fair value as being a market-based measurement
  and sets out in a single IFRS a framework for the measurement of fair value. Application of the standard has not had a material impact on the recognition
  and measurement of assets and liabilities of the group.

  IAS 19 – Employee Benefits
  The revisions to the standard have been applied retrospectively. For the group the standard has revised the basis on which the return on assets is
  determined, with a relatively immaterial impact.
  The impact to the comparative balance sheets and income statements are provided in the tables below:

Financial instruments carried at fair value
The table below analyses recurring fair value measurements for financial assets and financial liabilities. These fair value measurements are categorised into
different levels in the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs to the valuation technique used. The different levels are identified as follows:
          
Level 1 – quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability  either directly (ie as prices) or indirectly
          (ie derived from prices)
Level 3 – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs)
Assets and liabilities related to the long-term assurance business attributable to policyholders have been excluded from the analysis as the change in fair
value of related assets is attributable to policyholders.

*All reclassifications occurred as a result of inputs to the valuation model being regarded as unobservable when applying IFRS 13. Observable inputs are
defined as inputs that are developed using market data, such as publicly available information about actual events or transactions, and that reflect the
assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. All other inputs have been considered to be unobservable.

Sensitivity of fair values to reasonably possible alternative assumptions by Level 3 instrument type
The fair value of financial instruments in level 3 are measured using valuation techniques that incorporate assumptions that are not evidenced by prices
from observable market data. The following table shows the sensitivity of these fair values to reasonably possible alternative assumptions determined at
a transactional level:
