Unaudited combined consolidated financial results for the six months ended 30 September 2017
This announcement covers the results of the Investec group for the six months ended 30 September 2017.

Basis of presentation

Statutory basis
Statutory information is set out in a separate section in this
announcement. In order to present a more meaningful view of the group's
performance the results continue to be presented on an ongoing basis as
explained further below.

Ongoing basis
The results presented on an ongoing basis exclude items that in
management's view could distort the comparison of performance
between periods. Based on this principle, the remaining legacy business
in the UK continues to be excluded from underlying profit.

This basis of presentation is consistent with the approach adopted for
the year ended 31 March 2017. A reconciliation between the statutory
and ongoing income statement is provided.

Unless the context indicates otherwise, all comparatives included in
the commentary relate to the six months ended 30 September 2016.

Group results have benefited from a 14.7% appreciation of the average
Rand: Pounds Sterling exchange rate over the period. Amounts
represented on a currency neutral basis for income statement items
assume that the relevant average exchange rates for the six month
period to 30 September 2017 remain the same as those in the prior
period. Balance sheet items have been negatively impacted by a 7.9%
depreciation of the closing Rand:Pounds Sterling exchange rate since
31 March 2017. Amounts represented on a currency neutral basis for
balance sheet items assume that the relevant closing exchange rates at
30 September 2017 remain the same as those at 31 March 2017.

Overview of results
Sound growth in key earnings drivers

- The Asset Management and Wealth & Investment businesses have
  benefited from higher funds under management supported by
  favourable equity markets and combined net inflows of GBP3.6 billion.

- The Specialist Banking businesses have continued to see good growth
  in loan portfolios and client activity, notwithstanding the persistent
  macro uncertainty in both geographies.

- The group has continued to invest for growth with the increase in
  costs largely reflecting planned spend in growing the client franchise
  businesses.

- Digital and online innovation and enhancements across the group,
  coupled with a high touch client centric service model has further
  entrenched the strength of our franchises particularly in the private
  banking and wealth management businesses.

- Geographical and operational diversity continues to support a
  sustainable recurring income base and earnings through varying market
  conditions.

Statutory operating profit salient features
- Statutory operating profit before goodwill, acquired intangibles,
  non-operating items and taxation and after other non-controlling
  interests ("operating profit") increased 11.8% to GBP314.6 million
  (2016: GBP281.4 million) - an increase of 1.1% on a currency
  neutral basis.

- Statutory adjusted earnings per share (EPS) before goodwill,
  acquired intangibles and non-operating items increased 17.2% from
  22.7 pence to 26.6 pence - an increase of 5.7% on a currency
  neutral basis.

Satisfactory performance from the ongoing business

- Ongoing operating profit increased 10.5% to GBP347.5 million
  (2016: GBP314.5 million) - an increase of 0.9% on a currency
  neutral basis.

- Ongoing adjusted EPS before goodwill, acquired intangibles
  and non-operating items increased 14.8% from 25.7 pence to
  29.5 pence - an increase of 4.7% on a currency neutral basis.

- Recurring income as a percentage of total operating income
  amounted to 76.4% (2016: 72.4%).

- The annualised credit loss charge as a percentage of average
  gross core loans and advances amounted to 0.28% (2016: 0.19%),
  remaining at the lower end of the group's long term range despite an
  increase in impairments.

- Third party assets under management increased 2.4% to
  GBP154.3 billion (31 March 2017: GBP150.7 billion) - an increase
  of 5.1% on a currency neutral basis.

- Customer accounts (deposits) decreased 3.9% to GBP28.0 billion
  (31 March 2017: GBP29.1 billion) - an increase of 0.7% on a
  currency neutral basis.

- Core loans and advances increased 0.6% to GBP22.4 billion
  (31 March 2017: GBP22.2 billion) - an increase of 5.6% on a
  currency neutral basis.

The UK legacy portfolio continues to be actively managed down

- The legacy portfolio reduced from GBP476 million at 31 March 2017
  to GBP425 million largely through asset sales, redemptions and
  write-offs.

- The legacy business reported a loss before taxation of
  GBP32.9 million (2016: GBP33.0 million).

Maintained a sound balance sheet

- Capital remained comfortably in excess of current regulatory
  requirements. Investec Limited ended the period in line with the
  group's common equity tier 1 ratio target, while Investec plc
  continued to report a ratio ahead of this target. The group is
  comfortable with its common equity tier 1 ratio target at a 10% level,
  as its current leverage ratios for both Investec Limited and Investec
  plc are above 7%.

-  Liquidity remained strong with cash and near cash balances
   amounting to GBP10.7 billion.

Dividend increase of 5.0%

- The board declared a dividend of 10.5 pence per ordinary share
  (2016: 10.0 pence) resulting in a dividend cover based on the
  group's adjusted EPS before goodwill and non-operating items
  of 2.5 times (2016: 2.3 times), consistent with the group's
  dividend policy.

Stephen Koseff, Chief Executive Officer of Investec said:
"We have continued to invest to grow our client franchise businesses.
We have improved and enhanced our digital and online services to
complement our strong client centric service model. This spending
has further strengthened our franchises in private banking and wealth
management. Our geographical and operational diversity supports a
strong recurring income base and earnings which will help us weather
an uncertain world."

Bernard Kantor, Managing Director of Investec said:
"Investec achieved a satisfactory operating performance in all its
businesses despite macro-economic and political uncertainty in
both South Africa and the UK. In particular, Asset Management and
Wealth & Investment benefited from higher funds under management
and favourable equity markets while the Specialist Banking businesses
continued to see good growth in loan portfolios and client activity."

About Investec
Investec is an international specialist bank and asset manager that
provides a diverse range of financial products and services to a select
client base in three principal markets - the UK and Europe, South Africa
and Asia/Australia as well as certain other countries. The group was
established in 1974 and currently has approximately 9 900 employees.

Investec focuses on delivering distinctive profitable solutions for its
clients in three core areas of activity namely, Asset Management,
Wealth & Investment and Specialist Banking.

In July 2002 the Investec group implemented a dual listed company
structure with listings on the London and Johannesburg Stock
Exchanges. The combined group's current market capitalisation is
approximately GBP5.0 billion.

The commentary below largely focuses on the results of the ongoing
business.

OVERALL GROUP PERFORMANCE - ONGOING BASIS
Operating profit before goodwill, acquired intangibles, non-operating
items and taxation and after other non-controlling interests ("operating
profit") increased 10.5% to GBP347.5 million (2016: GBP314.5 million) -
an increase of 0.9% on a currency neutral basis.

The combined South African businesses reported operating profit 7.9%
ahead of the prior period (in Rands), whilst the combined UK and Other
businesses posted a 5.0% decrease in operating profit in Pounds
Sterling.

Business unit review - ongoing basis

Asset Management
Asset Management operating profit increased 1.2% to GBP83.2 million 
(2016: GBP82.3 million). The business benefited from
higher average funds under management supported by positive
market movements and solid net inflows of GBP2.1 billion.
Earnings were negatively impacted by lower performance fees
in South Africa. Total funds under management amount to
GBP98.2 billion (31 March 2017: GBP95.3 billion).

Wealth & Investment
Wealth & Investment operating profit increased by 14.7%
to GBP49.5 million (2016: GBP43.2 million) supported by
higher average funds under management and net inflows of
GBP1.5 billion. The UK business had a strong performance while
earnings in South Africa have been impacted by lower brokerage
volumes. Total funds under management amount to 
GBP55.5 billion/(31 March 2017: GBP54.8 billion).

Specialist Banking
Specialist Banking operating profit increased by 12.5% to
GBP239.4 million (2016: GBP212.8million).

The South African business reported an increase in operating
profit in Rands of 21.6%. Earnings were supported by a strong
performance from the investment portfolio. Growth in the private
banking franchise as well as a good performance from the corporate
treasury and corporate advisory businesses resulted in an increase
in fees. Core loans and advances increased 6.5% to R251.5 billion
(31 March 2017: R236.2 billion). The credit loss ratio on average core
loans and advances amounted to 0.30% (2016: 0.29%), remaining at
the lower end of its long term average, despite the business reporting an
increase in impairments.

The UK and Other businesses reported a 22.1% decrease in operating
profit. Strong growth in net interest income was supported by loan
book growth of 4.1% to GBP8.5 billion (31 March 2017: GBP8.1 billion)
and a reduction in the cost of funding. This was offset by a decrease
in non interest revenue following particularly strong investment banking
and client flow trading activity levels in the prior period. In line with the
division's current investment strategy to support franchise growth, IT
infrastructure costs and headcount increased, notably for the continued
build out of the private client banking offering. Costs are also impacted
by the additional premises expenses relating to the London office move
scheduled for the end of the 2018 calendar year. The credit loss ratio
amounted to 0.22% (2016: 0.04%) as impairments increased off a
particularly low base.

Further information on key developments within each of the business
units is provided in a detailed report published on the group's website:
http://www.investec.com

Group costs
These largely relate to group brand and marketing costs and a portion of
executive and support functions which are associated with group level
activities. These costs are not incurred by the operating divisions and
are necessary to support the operational functioning of the group. These
costs amounted to GBP24.7 million (2016: GBP23.8 million).

FINANCIAL STATEMENT ANALYSIS - ONGOING BASIS

Total operating income
Total operating income before impairment losses on loans and advances
increased by 13.2% to GBP1,190.9 million (2016: GBP1,052.3 million).

Net interest income increased by 16.0% to GBP364.4 million
(2016:GBP314.2 million) driven by sound levels of lending activity
across the banking businesses and a reduction in the UK's cost
of funding.

Net fee and commission income increased by 9.4% to GBP666.0 million
(2016: GBP608.6 million) as a result of higher average funds under
management over the period and net inflows in the Asset Management
and Wealth Management businesses. In addition, the Specialist Banking
business in South Africa benefited from growth in the private banking
franchise and a good performance from the corporate treasury and
corporate advisory businesses.

Investment income increased significantly to GBP61.9 million
(2016:GBP28.8 million) driven by a strong performance from the
South African investment portfolio partially offset by less realisations
in the UK investment portfolios.

Share of post taxation operating profit of associates of GBP23.7 million
(2016: GBP9.6 million) primarily reflects earnings in relation to the
group's investment in the IEP Group.

Trading income arising from customer flow decreased by 12.7% to
GBP64.2 million (2016: GBP73.5 million) as a consequence of lower
volatility relative to the elevated levels experienced in the prior period
following the Brexit vote. Trading income from other trading activities
reflected a profit of GBP5.1 million (2016: GBP12.4 million).

Impairment losses on loans and advances
Impairments on loans and advances increased from GBP18.0 million
to GBP31.1 million; however the group's annualised credit loss
ratio remains at the lower end of its long term average at 0.28%
(2016: 0.19%). Since 31 March 2017 gross defaults have reduced
from GBP249.8 million to GBP218.9 million. The percentage of default
loans (net of impairments but before taking collateral into account) to
core loans and advances amounted to 0.56% (31 March 2017: 0.69%).

Operating costs
The ratio of total operating costs to total operating income improved
marginally amounting to 66.5% (2016: 66.7%). Total operating costs
grew by 12.9% to GBP792.5 million (2016: GBP701.8 million) reflecting
continued planned spend on IT infrastructure and higher headcount
across divisions to support increased activity and growth initiatives;
notably the build out of the UK private client offering. Costs are also
impacted by additional premises expenses relating to the London office's
future premises move.

Taxation
The effective tax rate amounts to 14.5% (2016: 19.4%) mainly impacted
by the lower rate in South Africa following the release of provisions no
longer required.

Profit attributable to non-controlling interests
Profit attributable to non-controlling interests mainly comprises:

- GBP10.7 million profit attributable to non-controlling interests
  in the Asset Management business.

- GBP19.9 million profit attributable to non-controlling interests
  in the Investec Property Fund Limited.

BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS
Since 31 March 2017:

- Total shareholders' equity (including non-controlling interests)
  remained in line at GBP4.8 billion - an increase of 3.7% on
  a currency neutral basis. The weakening of the closing Rand
  exchange rate relative to Pounds Sterling has resulted in a
  reduction in total equity of GBP221 million.

- Net asset value per share decreased 2.1% to 421.8 pence
  and net tangible asset value per share (which excludes
  goodwill and intangible assets) decreased 1.8% to 370.2 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 1.8% and
  2.5%, respectively.

- The annualised return on adjusted average shareholders' equity
  remained at 12.5%.

- The annualised return on adjusted average shareholders' equity
  of the ongoing business reduced marginally from 14.2% to 14.1%.

Liquidity and funding
As at 30 September 2017 the group held GBP10.7 billion in cash and
near cash balances (GBP5.0 billion in Investec plc and R102.6 billion
in Investec Limited) which amounted to 38.2% of customer deposits.

Loans and advances to customers as a percentage of customer
deposits amounted to 79.9% (31 March 2017: 76.2%). The cost of
funding in the UK has continued to be managed down. The group will
continue to focus on maintaining an optimal overall liquidity and funding
profile. Based on the group's own interpretations of the EU Delegated
Act and in line with the BCBS' final recommendations, Investec plc
and Investec Bank plc (solo basis) comfortably exceed the relevant
regulatory liquidity requirements for the Liquidity Coverage Ratio
(LCR) and Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR). The LCR reported to the
Prudential Regulatory Authority at 30 September 2017 was 610% for
Investec plc and 520% for Investec Bank plc (solo basis). Investec Bank
Limited (solo basis) ended the period to 30 September 2017 with the
three-month average of its LCR at 127.0%, which is well ahead of the
minimum levels required. Further detail with respect to the bank's LCR
ratio in the UK and South Africa is provided on the website.

Capital adequacy and leverage ratios
The group is targeting a minimum common equity tier 1 capital ratio
above 10% and a total capital adequacy ratio range of 14% to 17%
on a consolidated basis for each of Investec plc and Investec Limited.
The group's anticipated fully loaded Basel III common equity tier 1
capital adequacy ratios in both Investec plc and Investec Limited are
reflected in the table below.

*  Based on the group's understanding of current and draft regulations, 'fully loaded' is
   based on Basel III capital requirements as fully phased in by 2022.

^  The capital adequacy disclosures follow Investec's normal basis of presentation
   so as to show a consistent basis of calculation across the jurisdictions in which
   the group operates. For Investec plc this does not include the deduction of
   foreseeable dividends when calculating CET1 capital as now required under the
   CRR and EBA technical standards. The impact of the final proposed ordinary
   and preference dividends totalling GBP43 million for Investec plc would be 31bps
   (31 March 2017: 45bps) lower on this basis.

** Investec Limited's capital information includes unappropriated profits.
   If unappropriated profits are excluded from the capital information, Investec Limited's
   common equity tier 1 ratio would be 15bps (31 March 2017: 24bps) lower.

LEGACY BUSINESS - OVERVIEW OF RESULTS
Since 31 March 2017 the group's legacy portfolio in the UK has
continued to be actively managed down from GBP476 million to
GBP425 million largely through asset sales, redemptions and
write-offs. The total legacy business over the period reported a loss
before taxation of GBP32.9 million (2016: GBP33.0 million).
The remaining legacy portfolio will continue to be managed down.
Total net defaults in the legacy book amount to GBP106 million
(31 March 2017: GBP125 million).

OUTLOOK
Whilst the global economy has improved our two key geographies
suffer from continued political uncertainty.

Notwithstanding this, the group has continued to improve in shape
and capability. Further progress has been made in dealing with the
UK legacy book and the development of the private bank in the UK
is gaining traction, as are the various digital initiatives. The continued
investment in infrastructure and people across the group is indicative of
the group's confidence in the franchise and will position the businesses
appropriately for future growth and development.

Notes to the commentary section above
Presentation of financial information

Investec operates under a Dual Listed Companies (DLC) structure with
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.

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            Year        Six months
                          to                to              to

Australian Dollar     1.71    1.69    1.64      1.75    1.70     1.83

US Dollar             1.34    1.30    1.25      1.31    1.30     1.38

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
appreciated by 14.7% and the closing rate has depreciated by 7.9%
since 31 March 2017.

Accounting policies and disclosures
These unaudited summarised combined consolidated financial
results have been prepared in terms of the recognition and
measurement criteria of International Financial Reporting Standards,
and the presentation and disclosure requirements of IAS 34,
(Interim Financial Reporting).

The accounting policies applied in the preparation of the results for
the period to 30 September 2017 are consistent with those adopted in
the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2017.

STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS ISSUED BUT NOT YET
EFFECTIVE

The following significant standards and interpretations, which have
been issued but are not yet effective, are applicable to the group.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments
The group will adopt IFRS 9 Financial Instruments on 1 April 2018.
The group expects that the recognition and measurement basis of the
majority of the group's financial assets will be largely unchanged on
application of IFRS 9, based on the analysis performed to date.

The impairment requirements will lead to significant changes in the
accounting treatment for certain financial instruments as a result
of a shift from an incurred loss to an expected loss impairment
methodology. Credit risk methodologies have been defined and model
build has significantly been completed. Approval, testing and validation
of the models is ongoing.

IFRS 9 includes an accounting policy choice to remain with
IAS 39 hedge accounting. The group intends to continue
applying IAS 39's hedge accounting.

The classification and measurement and impairment requirements are
applied retrospectively by adjusting the opening balance sheet at the
date of initial application, with no requirement to restate comparative
periods. The group does not intend to restate comparatives.

The regulatory capital impact of IFRS 9 has been proposed by
regulatory bodies with transitional capital arrangements being
announced for 1 January 2018 which would allow a phase in of the
Day 1 capital impact over a number of years.

It will not be practical to disclose reliable financial impact estimates until
the implementation programme and validation and testing is further
advanced.

IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers
The group's current measurement and recognition principles are
aligned to the standard and the group does not expect an impact to
measurement principles currently applied. The impact of the disclosure
requirements of the standard is currently being assessed.

The financial results have been prepared under the supervision of
Glynn Burger, the Group Risk and Finance Director. The financial
statements for the six months to 30 September 2017 will be posted to
stakeholders on 30 November 2017. These accounts will be available
on the group's website on the same date.

Proviso
- Please note that matters discussed in this announcement may
  contain forward looking statements which are subject to various
  risks and uncertainties and other factors, including, but not limited
  to:

   - the further development of standards and interpretations under
     IFRS applicable to past, current and future periods, evolving

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 (i.e. as prices) or 
          indirectly (i.e. 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. These are all classified as level 1.

                                                                                                    Fair value category

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:

*  The sensitivity of the fair value of liabilities arising on securitisation of other assets has been considered together with other 
   securitised assets.
^  Other - The valuation sensitivity for the private equity and embedded derivatives (profit share) portfolios has been assessed by adjusting 
   various inputs such as expected cash flows, discount rates, earnings multiples rather than a single input. It is deemed appropriate to reflect 
   the outcome on a portfolio basis for the purposes of this analysis as the sensitivity of the investments cannot be determined through the 
   adjustment  of a single input.
^^ The EBITDA has been stressed on an investment by investment basis to obtain a favourable and unfavourable valuation.

In determining the value of level 3 financial instruments, the following are the
principal inputs that do require judgement:

Credit spreads
Credit spreads reflect the additional yield that a market participant would
demand for taking exposure to the credit risk of an instrument. The credit
spread for an instrument forms part of the yield used in a discounted cash
flow calculation. In general a significant increase in a credit spread in isolation
will result in a movement in fair value that is unfavourable for the holder of a
financial instrument.

Discount rates
Discount rates are the interest rates used to discount future cash flows in a
discounted cash flow valuation method. The discount rate takes into account
time value of money and uncertainty of cash flows.

Volatilities
Volatility is a key input in the valuation of derivative products containing
optionality. Volatility is a measure of the variability or uncertainty in returns
for a given derivative underlying. It represents an estimate of how much a
particular underlying instrument, parameter or index will change in value
over time.

Cash flows
Cash flows relate to the future cash flows which can be expected from the
instrument and requires judgement.

EBITDA
The group's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation.
This is the main input into a price earnings multiple valuation method.

Price earnings multiple
The price-to-earnings ratio is an equity valuation multiple. It is a key driver in
the valuation of unlisted investments.

Precious and industrial metals and Property value
The price of precious and industrial metals and property value is a key driver
of future cash flows on certain investments.

Fair value of financial assets and liabilities at amortised cost
The following table sets out the fair value of financial instruments held at amortised cost where the carrying value is not a 
reasonable approximation of fair value.

At 30 September 2017                                                        Carrying         Fair
