If the tax identification type has an expiry date, this might also be needed when submitting the application online. For help to work out where you are tax resident, or if you are unsure about your tax identification type/number, please consult a financial adviser or the information at www.oecd.org/tax/automatic-exchange.*** Passport numberPassport numbers and expiry dates are required for most non-UK nationalities; for many European nationalities, the tax identification ‘type’ is required in the passport number field, see ** above.

a) I authorise Old Mutual Wealth to deduct those fees from my investment and pay them to my financial adviser or DIM (as applicable).

b) I confirm that:

i. I have agreed any authorised fees with my financial adviser

ii. my financial adviser has explained the effect that selling units to pay fees from my investment will have on its future value.

c) I understand that:

i. the fees agreed will be met as follows (as applicable):

• Initial fee (lump sum) – by deduction from my payment before the balance is invested into my choice of assets

• Initial fee (cash transfers) – by deduction from each cash transfer payment before the balance is invested into my choice of assets

iii. if I authorise a servicing fee or DIM portfolio fee:

• as a percentage amount, the fee paid may go up or down depending on the value of the investment on the date the fee is calculated

• the agreed fee will be an annual amount, which will be divided by the payment frequency selected and paid to my adviser or DIM accordingly

• the servicing fee will apply to the entire account and will override any existing servicing fee on the account

• VAT may also be payable on DIM portfolio fees.

iv. regular initial fee payments:

• will be deducted at the same frequency as the Direct Debit collections, on a date based on the anniversary date of the account

• will be deducted for the number of payments I authorise, unless my Direct Debit is cancelled in which case the fee payments will stop. However, if I invest the maximum ISA subscription before the end of the tax year, I understand that my Direct Debit collections will be suspended until the start of the next tax year, but the fees will continue to be deducted until the required number of fees has been reached.

v. Fees will be paid in line with my account Terms and Conditions and subject to the limits outlined in Old Mutual Wealth’s Remuneration Guide for financial advisers.

vi. Old Mutual Wealth will confirm details to me of the fees applied to my account.

d) I understand that:

i. I can cancel an adviser ongoing servicing fee at least 10 working days before it is deducted, by contacting Old Mutual Wealth, but I cannot make changes to a discretionary management portfolio fee

GUIDANCE NOTES FOR FINANCIAL ADVISERS

4 DECISION MAKER DETAILS • This section concerns the person or people who will be making the decisions concerning any Exchange Traded Instrument (ETI) transactions on this investment, or if ETIs are intended to be traded in future. Our default position is that the customer is the decision maker on the account. However if someone else is making decisions on their behalf, they should be noted in this part of the application process.

• In most cases it will be the customer (ie the applicant) but sometimes other people could be authorised to make decisions.

• Scenarios where we would deem someone other than the account holder to be the decision maker:

– Junior accounts where there is a Registered Contact/Guardian – we would always expect the Registered Contact/Guardian to be the decision maker

– Power of Attorney (POA) on the account and the attorney is making investment decisions on behalf of the customer

– Adviser acting in a discretionary capacity.

• We must be informed if the decision maker on the account changes. The information can be updated online within the customer record by selecting Manage Details, then Edit.

• If the decision maker is an entity, the LEI Code will be required. This is the Legal Entity Identifier, which is a global data reference system that uniquely identifies every legal entity or structure, in any jurisdiction, that is party to a financial transaction.

Where the investments include a discretionary portfolio, the discretionary manager will automatically be reported as the decision maker for transactions they initiate. However, if other assets are held, and someone other than the investor is the decision maker, the other party’s details should be entered in this section.

7 ‘ASSUMED HOLDINGS’ FOR ILLUSTRATION PURPOSES

• We calculate the Old Mutual Wealth Service Charge on the projected value of all the client’s accounts and bonds on the platform. The illustration will assume that the value of any other investments included will be retained on the platform for the full duration of the illustration.

• The value of the client’s other holdings will be displayed online but can be amended for the purposes of the illustration, if required.

8 ASSET SELECTION

• Please make your clients aware that VAT will be added to the Service Charge for ISAs if they invest in a WealthSelect Managed Portfolio. Where other assets are held in addition to the MPS, the VAT will be calculated proportionally based on the proportion of the account value held in the MPS.

• You must make sure your clients have seen the latest Key Investor Information Document (KIID) or Key Information Document (KID) in respect of their chosen assets, where applicable. More information is on our website www.oldmutualwealth.co.uk/fund-info.

• You will also need to declare online that you have informed your client of the rebate information for the assets selected, where applicable, and that the client has seen the Costs and Charge Statement (which is part of the illustration/projection).

• Asset choice for single payments, cash transfers and regular payments – If you choose a Discretionary Investment Manager (DIM) model portfolio, provided you have the client’s authority, any related portfolio fee will be

applied automatically, deducted from your client’s investments and paid direct to the DIM. However, you must record the fee information in this section so that your client can authorise it when signing the form.

– If more than one Direct Debit is being paid into the ISA, the asset choice entered in this application will be applied to ALL of them.

6 CONTRIBUTION DETAILS

• Phased investment – This facility can be selected for each single investment and cash transfer. The investment will be held in cash within the ISA and phased into the asset selection each month for the number of months specified. You cannot phase back into cash, so cash will not be available as an asset choice for the related contribution.

• 6.1 Single payments

– Minimum single payment – £2,500 (does not apply to top-ups).

– Maximum investment – the maximum allowance for the tax year, as defined by HMRC (plus any initial fees agreed with your client).

– Cheque payments – must be payable to Old Mutual Wealth Limited and sent to us with a Remittance Advice Slip, which will be generated at the end of the online process.

– Electronic bank transfers you will need our bank details, which are:

Account name: Old Mutual Wealth Limited Bank name: NatWest Bank plc Sort code: 56-00-68 Account number: 42087058

Reference number – please quote the ISA account number on electronic transfers (the number will be generated online during the application submission process).

– Debit card payments - follow the instructions online. Your client must be with you when the debit card details are recorded. We cannot accept payment by debit card from third parties.

– If you are sending payment for more than one application, we will need a separate payment for each one.

• 6.2 Transfers

– You will need to complete details for each ISA manager (‘ceding provider’). You will only need to complete the address if the provider’s details don’t automatically appear and you therefore enter the details manually.

– Re-registration ‘residual cash value’ – this is the cash amount held by the ceding provider but you should include a value for any assets you have been unable to locate to re-register, otherwise the value will not be included in the illustration. If assets cannot be re-registered for any reason, they will be sold and the proceeds placed in cash within the ISA. They can then be switched into a revised asset choice.

– Under HMRC rules, if a current tax year ISA transfer is requested, it must be transferred in full.

– Any initial fee captured for cash transfers will only be applied to transfers requested as cash; it will not be applied to any cash proceeds transferred to us where an asset could not be re-registered. The initial fee will be paid from the largest transfer based on what you input. It is not based on the amounts we actually receive. If we do not receive the transfer, the fee will not be paid.

– If a fee is required for re-registration, you will need to request an ad hoc fee online separately.

– Transfer authority - personalised authorities can be produced during the online application process for your client to sign. You will need to send the authorities to us in some circumstances:

– If a transfer can be processed electronically* using an online transfer system (such as Altus), you do not need to send us a signed Transfer Authority form; you should therefore retain it in your records.

– For platforms or fund managers that do not use an online transfer system, you will need to send to us a signed Transfer Authority form.

*The transferring manager will be able to tell you if they use an online transfer system. If you are in any doubt, please send us the signed transfer form.

• 6.3 Regular payments

– A paper Direct Debit instruction must be completed if your client is not the only one required to authorise payments from the bank account, if a third party is paying the Direct Debits or if the client is not present when the application is submitted online.

– Minimum regular payment: £99 (monthly payments)/£600 (annual payments).

– Maximum regular payment: there is no maximum payment, provided the total contributed during the tax year does not exceed the allowance defined by HMRC (plus any initial fees agreed with your client)

– We will need at least 10 working days to set up the Direct Debit instruction. The start date cannot be more than 13 months away.

– Initial Regular fee – the fee stated will be deducted for the number of payments requested, for example if you select 12 payments of a £50 fee, a total of £600 will be deducted. Fee payments will be deducted at the same frequency as the Direct Debit collections, on a date based on the anniversary date of the account. If the maximum ISA subscription is reached before the end of the tax year, Direct Debit collections will be suspended until the start of the next tax year, however, the fees will continue to be deducted until the required number of payments has been reached.

• If the assets include a WealthSelect Managed Portfolio, VAT will be added to the proportion of the Service Charge related to the Managed Portfolio, as mentioned in the notes for section 8.

• ‘Family Linking’ is where we can link your client’s investments with those held on our platform by eligible family members, for the purposes of calculating the Old Mutual Wealth Service Charge.

• The Service Charge only applies to investments held on Charge Basis 3, but those on Charge Basis 1 and 2 can also be linked so that their values will be included to reduce the Service Charge rate.

• Linking investors has no effect on the Investor Charge deducted from Charge Basis 1 and 2 investments.

• To link your client’s investments to those of eligible family members, please use our Family Linking Request form, available from our Literature Library.

12 OLD MUTUAL WEALTH SERVICE CHARGE

• The quote reference and account number will be generated online; they can be written in section 13 for your records.

13 QUOTE REFERENCE AND ACCOUNT NUMBER

• This section contains the declaration that you will effectively make on your client’s behalf during the online process.

• The declaration is in two parts. The first relates to subscriptions made against the standard personal ISA allowance. The second part relates to subscriptions made against an ‘Additional Permitted Subscription’, if applicable.

• HM Revenue & Customs rules require us to send the client a statement confirming the personal information received and certain regulatory declarations. This is for the client’s own records. We will send the document including the declaration in section 14 once the application is submitted.

• The signature in this section is for your own records.

• However, we must also hold a valid signature for investors, to ensure any future instructions are not delayed whilst security checks are made. If we do not already hold a specimen signature for your client, the Sample Signature form, available from our Literature Library, can be completed and sent to us for this purpose.

• You must retain this form in your records if it is being used to capture the client’s authority for fees.

14 CLIENT DECLARATION AND SIGNATURE

10 REGULAR WITHDRAWALS

• For withdrawals requested as an amount of money, the amount requested will be paid for each regular withdrawal payment, the minimum for which is £25.

• For withdrawals requested as a percentage of the account value, the amount requested is an annual percentage. When the payment is due, we will calculate the percentage based on the value of the account at that time. We will then divide that amount by the number of payments requested, to calculate the amount to be paid at that time, which must equate to at least £25.

• If we receive the instruction less than 10 days before the requested start date, we cannot guarantee that it will take effect for that month.

• If the payment is to be met proportionally from all assets, this will include any cash and ETIs held within the ISA.

• If specific assets are nominated: – please note that we cannot sell units from individual assets held within a portfolio; only from the portfolio as a whole. – but there is insufficient value to meet the withdrawal, it will be met from available cash first, then any shortfall by selling proportionally across

remaining assets.

• If the assets to be sold include ETIs, they can only be sold in whole shares. Therefore, if the sale proceeds then exceed the regular withdrawal amount, the excess will be held as cash within the ISA. A Dealing Charge will also apply to each ETI sold; this charge will be deducted from the ISA.

9 DISTRIBUTION OPTIONS

• This section refers to income generated by the assets, including: – funds with income units – Exchange Traded Instruments (ETIs).

• Income generated by assets within a portfolio, will be handled in line with the preference of the portfolio provider.

• If income is reinvested into ETIs, a dealing charge will be incurred. Stamp duty and other costs may also apply.

• Income payments made to a client’s bank account will include any interest earned on cash.

• The bank account must be in the name of the client - we cannot make withdrawal payments to third parties.

• We will use the bank details provided for making any future withdrawal payments from the ISA, unless instructed otherwise.

11 BANK ACCOUNT DETAILS

• As part of the online application process, you will be required to make several declarations, including the following as applicable to your client’s application.

• Your authority to complete this application and acceptance of the declarations made on behalf of your client.

• CoVI relating to the applicant and any individual named in the online application*.

• Confirmation that your client: – agrees to being included in future share class conversions and understands the implications – has been informed of the rebate information for assets selected and has seen related Key Investor Information Documents (KIIDs) and/or Key
